On 5/27/21 at 1:11 PM EDT
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin says he has no plans to end the filibuster in order to get a January 6 commission bill passed. I m not ready to destroy our government, no, he told reporters on Thursday. I think a bill will come together. You have to have faith.
Senate Republicans are expected to block a House-passed bill that would create a commission to investigate the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Some Democrats have argued that the Senate should gut the filibuster s 60-vote threshold in the narrowly divided chamber on order to advance the legislation.

Two senators from opposing parties and who both represent border states unveiled their immigration bill Thursday to address the rising levels of migrants at the southern border.
The bill, proposed by Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas and Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, would increase the country s capacity to manage the historically high numbers of migrants, increase the speed of adjudicating asylum claims, aid local communities along the border and ensure that migrants are treated humanely and unaccompanied migrant children are protected. The legislation would create four regional processing centers to deal with the current flow of migration.
