In response to the Angry Staffer tweet, Dems actually have the ability to put out the fire without help from the GOP. But they don't want to because that would mean they'd have to use reconciliation, which they are saving for their 3.5T spending bill.

The majority party gives the minority party a policy concession for their cooperation. This time the Dems haven't given the GOP any incentive so, surprise, surprise, they aren't going to help them. The Dems want their cake and they want to eat it too.
