The Senate Doesn’t Need a Change in Rules. It Needs a Change in Behavior

The most important lesson I learned as a United States Senator was that it’s hard to get here and hard to stay here, so while you’re here, you might as well try to accomplish something good for our country. In other words, make every day count.

Today, President Trump and his allies are doing their best to convince senators that the way to make every day count is to change Senate rules, nuke the filibuster, and fire the parliamentarian.
