The Senate embarks Thursday on a marathon of votes on a massive spending proposal. The Senate is pressing ahead with one of two massive spending bills it hopes to use this year under the reconciliation process that can’t be stopped by a Democrat filibuster. This bill will focus on the border, and national defense. There’sno telling exactly how long the so-called VOTE-A-RAMA will run, but Democrats are expected to engage in lengthy debate and propose numerous amendments.
