PREVIEW - The Friday Edition: Your questions, answered.

As part of the Tangle ethos, we solicit reader questions about politics and our work every day in our newsletter.

And every few months, so many questions pile up on the back end that we decide to answer a bunch of them at once in a members-only reader mailbag. Today is one of those days. We think this is a healthy exercise that not only allows us to critically examine some of our own writing, but also provides readers with more perspectives that help us fulfill our core mission.

If you want to read more about what we’re building here, two weeks ago we wrote about the whole point of Tangle.

As always, we want to thank those of you who write in with thoughtful questions or raise challenging criticisms that help us improve. We hope you enjoy today’s mailbag!

Democrats split after short-term funding bill passes.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump signed a stopgap bill to fund the government through September and avert a government shutdown. The bill — called a continuing resolution (CR) — was sent to Trump’s desk after the Senate voted 54–46 on Friday to pass it, with two Democrats voting in favor and one Republican voting against. Prior to the final vote, the Senate invoked cloture 62–38.

Refresher: The Senate’s cloture rule outlines the procedure of ending debate on proposed legislation and forcing a floor vote. The rule requires a three-fifths majority, normally 60 senators, to bypass a filibuster, which would extend debate indefinitely. Once brought to a floor vote, bills require a simple majority to pass.
