. @DavidMDrucker a funny sort of courtesy, since Dems have a majority on the Approps committee and a filibuster kills it anyway @YeaYouRite
@YeaYouRite @sethdmichaels Possible it was courtesy to get it to the floor. That kind of stuff happens from time to time.

@sethdmichaels@DavidMDrucker @YeaYouRite Also, the motion to proceed. Was it 75 votes? -
@brianbeutler@sethdmichaels @YeaYouRite Overall point:There R no rules on these things in terms of what 1 has to support/not. About voters. -
@DavidMDrucker@sethdmichaels "moved it as a courtesy then filibustered" & "concerned about the spending" aren't accurate explanations. -
@brianbeutler indeed the biggest - only, i think? - thing that changed wasn't the spending level, but the House's failure to pass anything. -
@sethdmichaels McConnell started twisting arms before yesterday's fiasco, so more to it than JUST that. But think that accellerated things. -
.
@brianbeutler fair. but making this a partisan dispute and not a functional governance-versus-lunatics dispute is a big win for McConnell. - End of conversation
