Really interesting strategy - Thune raises a point of order re: the current policy baseline and the Budget Chair's scorekeeping authority, the presiding officer claims that there is no violation, which then puts the onus on Democrats to find a majority to win the appeal

It's great that the Budget Committee minority is publishing these Byrd Rule decisions in real time. But it would be helpful to know exactly how these provisions violate the BR's six definitions of extraneous material. Presumably, these were all judged to be "merely incidental"…
