Wonks, plz help me out. Is this abnormal, or is it just that the dems are feckless losers (and don’t want to block all the ghoulish shit the republicans did when they held the majority)?

    How often are they trying to pass stuff my unanimous consent where one person can block it?

    EDIT: Thinking about it more, this seems like meaningless bullshit the Dems did on purpose knowing that, because of the way they did it, it only took one person to block it. Mind the kayfabe, folks.

      Very true. I just think the optics of sending money to Israel and Myanmar for genocide purposes is not the hill to die on, but I’m not a brain genius like Nancy.

      Healthcare pls. No racist genocide. Thx

      I guess I read it as McCarthy needed to approve in order for their to be a unanimous consent vote, so it didn’t even receive the voice vote

        I think its that everyone present has to agree and anyone can block it. I'm thinking the Dems did it this way in purpose so they could look good.

      I think Democrats are going to do a real floor vote on it on Monday.
