Progressives are pushing for Senate Democrats to change the rules and get rid of the filibuster. The party's slight majority in the Senate means Democrats are having trouble getting enough votes to override filibusters. Show Less

Republicans and some Democrats, such as West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, are against ending the filibuster, which has been used for decades to blunt the majority's power.

It is an important check to keep a majority ruled congress from running rough shod on everything while they are the majority. The democrats have used this as a check while they were in the minority. .

Doing away with the filibuster is one step towards one party rule. They regretted abolishing the filibuster for judges. Why would this be different? And when did the media stop calling it "the nuclear option"?

Big waste of money on a vanity project that does not benefit Americans. Money can be better spent on Healthcare, the homeless, housing, daycare, education..I could go on and on. This president is the biggest conman and grifter ever in history. He has already wasted & stolen billions of dollars.

When it proposed Trump said it was being built by private donors! Now Liar in Chief wants taxpayers to foot bill... Just another of many lies!

L. Maldonado

Illegal. No Congressional permission. No taxpayer approval. Unneeded. No his personal residence. WH belongs to the people, not the Kremlin look-a-like. Trump is not POTUS; he was constitutionally banned from office. He DID NOT WIN, because the Constitution says so. (14thA, section 3.)

Ralph Stewart

The average American is being hurt by the rising gas and grocery prices and shouldn’t be expected to pay for an extravagant ballroom. The US doesn’t need to be spending money on luxuries like a ballroom, when it can’t pay its 28 TRILLION DOLLARS debt. The country is on the verge of bankruptcy!

In view of the mess our country is in now, I find it relaxing to enjoy some light-hearted humor before going to bed.
