What is the bar to the House passing a budget, with everything except funding for PP? Does the budget need 60 votes in the Senate? If not, you can pass a budget and avoid a shutdown (a bad idea, as a shutdown is just what the Dems want) and cut PP out in the process.

Don't know. I got that information from NM Congressman Steve Pearce.

Budget passes on simple majority of both houses, thanks to “Reconciliation” in the Senate.

This, however, is NOT the budget but appropriations. So the Senate can still filibuster.
