Fantastic!
Manchin on the filibuster to @MeetThePress: “If you want to make it a little bit more painful, make him stand there and talk, I'm willing to look at any way we can. But I'm not willing to take away the involvement of the minority.”

Hey I get that it might be better to totally get rid of the filibuster. But let's take what we can get. If Schumer can get him and Sinema and Feinstein on board with this, this is literally the difference between passing HR1 / HR5 / HR1280 and not.

If the filibuster is going to stay, senators should absolutely have to go back to holding the floor.

Ted Cruz will just stand and read Green Eggs and Ham in perpetuity. I'm not gonna hold my breath about this.

This would be a huge step, along with making it a supermajority vote of members present. That’s the way it used to be.

Exactly this. If they want to filibuster, they should have to at least use some political capital.

Honestly, this is pretty huge. I believe it's Machin's first concession that he may be willing to make SOME changes.

This is actually awesome. If we can get Tester and Synema on board, things are going to be interesting.

@SenSchumer might want to take note of this -
I’m gonna guess he knows.
