I'm old. I remember when both parties had leaders, even statesmen, who could bust heads when needed.

The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021 is recent legislation. It passed the House on August 24, 2021 in a straight party-line vote. The Senate voted 50-49 to pass the bill, falling well short of the 60 votes needed to break the filibuster.
