"The Senate is poised for a marathon SAVE Act debate this week, but the measure is all but certain to fail given Democratic opposition.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is under pressure from MAGA-oriented Republicans to employ the "talking filibuster" " or nuke the 60-vote threshold for legislation altogether."

The House yesterday passed a Senate bill that will help Holocaust survivors and their families recover artwork confiscated by the Nazis.

No member asked for a recorded vote."

The courage, the guts, the grit these Congress Critters have!!
