Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) is facing increasing pressure to do away with the filibuster if Democrats seek to force a government shutdown over funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
MSN reports that the odds of a government shutdown by January 31, jumped from 11.5% to 79% on Kalshi and from 9% to 80% on Polymarket.
🚨 Hey @LeaderJohnThune, NUKE THE FILIBUSTER and keep the government open.
The ball is in your court!
Play offense, not defense! https://t.co/tz88T8Mdue
