AOC and Sinema clash over Senate filibuster criticism
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Senator Kyrsten Sinema clashed on social media over the Senate filibuster after Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to pass a continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown. Ocasio-Cortez criticized nine Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, for supporting the bill, arguing it undermines efforts to end the filibuster. Sinema responded by highlighting Ocasio-Cortez's previous comments on the filibuster, suggesting a change in her stance. The Senate passed the continuing resolution by a 54-46 vote, and President Donald Trump signed it into law. The bill will fund the government through September 30.
