Description
The biggest remaining obstacle for the Democrats is now Senate
Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, who will continue to host
Democratic and Republican aides behind closed doors today (no press
allowed) to scrub the reconciliation bill for potential violations of
the Byrd Rule.
MacDonough broke the hearts of progressives on several occasions last
year, including when she nixed the minimum wage from the Covid relief
bill, which was passed using reconciliation, and rejected three
different versions of immigration reform from the Democratic
reconciliation bill that was eventually scrapped in December.
Republican budget nerds reviewing the latest reconciliation bill still
believe they can knock out certain provisions. On Thursday, for the
latest episode of the Playbook Deep Dive podcast, we sat down with two
of the party’s leading experts on the process: Eric Ueland, who spent 25
years in the Senate, including as staff director of the Budget
Committee, and Greg D’Angelo, who spent nearly a decade on the
committee.
Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO.
Eric Ueland is a commissioner on the United States Commission on
International Religious Freedom.
Greg D'Angelo is a partner at the Nickles Group.
Afra Abdullah is associate producer for POLITICO audio.
Kara Tabor is producer for POLITICO audio.
Brook Hayes is senior editor for POLITICO audio.
Adam Allington is senior producer for POLITICO audio.

“The truth as we know it is over.” “Civil War” star on how it really could happen here.: The biggest movie in the country right now is about a civil war — in America. If you see the film “Civil War” at a theater in downtown Washington, the scenes of the Lincoln Memorial exploding and the White House being attacked are jarring when you exit into the D.C. air. The movie is writer and director Alex Garland’s very in-your-face attempt to imagine the unimaginable in America — an authoritarian leader in the White House, intractable political differences being resolved through violence and the very specific horrors of modern warfare — urban fighting, refugee camps, mass atrocities, the collapse of the currency — all the things that we associate with stuff that can happen over there happening right here in the United States. “Civil War” is also a movie about journalism.
