Democrats face internal conflict over funding and filibuster

Democrats are facing internal conflict over government funding, reigniting debates about the filibuster. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's decision to advance a Republican funding bill has drawn criticism from various party members, highlighting divisions within the party. Progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have expressed outrage at Schumer's actions, while former Senator Kyrsten Sinema has pointed out the inconsistency of Democrats who previously supported eliminating the filibuster but voted to uphold it. The filibuster, once a rare tactic, has become a significant tool for the minority party. Democrats are now questioning their leadership's strategy, as many feel the filibuster has hindered their legislative goals.
