minus-square🌞 Alexander Daychilde 🌞@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·23 hours ago bc the dems have a majority (but not supermajority) in congress they can still pass bills through both houses and force trump to veto them. The Democrats need 60 votes (⅘) for cloture - ending debate on a bill and allowing for a vote. So they still do not have enough for that.
