It looks like the vote to force the rail workers back to work will get at least 70+ votes. No filibuster or parliamentarian.

[edit] 80 votes at the moment, 80-15

    There was no filibuster.

    There was a threat to filibuster, which is all filibusters really are now.

    Would have been entertaining to watch the GOP parade around for the next three weeks arguing against sick leave for rail workers. But then the Senate would be logjammed and Biden wouldn't have an opportunity to expedite more military funding for Ukraine. Nobody wants that.
