The administration has 3 legal options:
Republicans will choose #3 10/10 because they can't actually make the government work via compromise it would undermine all their fascist rhetoric, and they won't let go of their obstructionist tools they and dems use to fuck over the working class.
They already killed the filibuster. They have have suspended the filibuster three times already. Why would they have to remove it this time?
-They bypassed the filibuster to go around CA EV standards
-Then they Reinvented the budget process to set the BBB to $0 which somehow got them around the filibuster to pass the BBB.
-Last month they "Deployed the nuclear option" and changed Senate rules to confirm a block of 48 Trump nominees.
Nothing is stopping them, they have already set precedent you can ignore the filibuster whenever you want.
Personally I'm banking on them refusing to negotiate long enough that Americans get desperate enough to drag them into the streets and finally treat them the way fascists should be treated.
