Trump mentioned in his Truth Social post that eliminating the filibuster would help Republicans get the “best Judges” and the “best U.S. Attorneys,” but it’s unclear what he meant since he needs only a simple majority to install those picks.

Senate Democrats who had pushed vociferously for the filibuster’s elimination just four years ago are using it to try to force a Republican compromise on President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”

Trump wants the Senate to abolish the filibuster blocking legislation such as ending the shutdown. Here's why even his Republican allies keep it.

A handful of Republicans joined Democrats to vote against President Trump's emergency tariffs against Brazil, Canada and other countries. But the votes were mostly symbolic and unlikely to become law.

The bipartisan move is symbolic, as the House has passed a rule against legislation to block tariffs this year.
