Dobbs’s show, which ran twice each weekday night on the Fox Business Network, will be broadcast for the final time on Friday, the Times… Source link

While the Senate was originally designed to run by simple majority rule, over the past few decades the filibuster has made it so the majority of legislation requires a 60-vote “supermajority” to pass — something that’s next to impossible to accomplish with a 50-50 split between Democrats and Republicans.
