The Senate failed to do one of its most basic functions: approving legislation funding airport thigh groping. The left is embroiled in a debate over whether Elizabeth Warren should run in 2016 — this being the left, the debate will probably wrap up in 2036. And a spokesman for the Log Cabin Republicans said his organization is more than just “Gay marriage Republicans,” which is almost as far-fetched an idea as an organization of gay Republicans. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Monday, February 23rd, 2015:
ANOTHER FAILED SENATE VOTE ON DHS FUNDING – Democrats and their pesky filibuster. Carl Hulse and Ashley Parker from before the vote, which just failed: “After promising an era of responsible governance and an end to federal shutdowns, congressional Republicans find themselves mired in an immigration fight that could cause funding for the Department of Homeland Security to run out on Friday.” [NYT]
@hillhulse: Amazing thing in Senate is not how quickly the parties switch positions on the filibuster, its how sincere they are doing it.
@kasie: Senate voting shortly on Homeland Security funding. Sen. Marco Rubio currently holding town hall meeting in…New Hampshire. #2016
