So according to the Hill, winning a vote in the Senate would likely require, quote, ending the filibuster that requires most legislation to clear a 60 vote hurdle. Even then, not all 50 Democrats in the Senate back making DC estate end Quote So this is a developing story. We will certainly see what happens. There's obviously a lot of opposition to this from the right. So we will have to see let me know what your thoughts are. We're living in certainly unprecedented times

Okay. So I was trying to make time all day to read more about this, and I am still confused. The biggest thing I took away from the brief reading and headlines I was able to pull today is that this is something that they've been trying to push through for a long time, right? I would love to hear from other people, though. Like, why exactly is this happening right now? Why is it important and more about the history of it?
