This is some good news - now, let's see the Dems pushback - and push for expanding popular programs - instead of just "fighting the cuts," Dems should push an alternate agenda, one that funds and expands the programs that are both popular and effective (consumer bureau, medicaid expansion, Medicare price negotiations)
It's a nonpartisan parliamentarian - it's kind of the last bastion of a functioning, two-party system - the GOP is free to attempt to defund these agencies, but they'll have to do it under regular rules, which effectively require 60 votes to be filibuster proof

let's hope
I am sorry-I didn’t know that the parliament was possible.
Very interesting, thank you. But who makes sure that the rule is applied? Is there a commission or a board for this?
