Read this post to get a sense both of Republican recklessness on the debt ceiling and the fecklessness of reporting on it. Every headline on this issue should be some variation of "Republicans Threaten US Solvency."
This is a clear effort to sabotage the US economy in order to hurt Democratic efforts in the midterms next fall. It should be labeled as such.
Theoretically, Democrats could end the filibuster when it comes to the debt ceiling. I doubt Republicans would really mind, as they haven't really gotten anything by taking the economy hostage and it would allow them to make their stupid campaign commercials where they claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility, despite blowing a massive hole in the debt with their tax cuts for rich people. The debt ceiling is stupid and Democrats should pass a law making it moot and they should exempt that from the filibuster.
All that needs is the support of fucking Manchinema....<sigh>
