NEW: Sen. Feinstein (D-CA) - a filibuster reform holdout - is now OPEN to changes:

"If [bipartisan agreement] proves impossible and Republicans continue to abuse the filibuster by requiring cloture votes, I’m open to changing the way the Senate filibuster rules are used."

This is a big one. California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has been among the Democrats most adamantly against changing the filibuster until now. @DKElections' spreadsheet tracks where every Dem caucus member stands https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10CeJAtw7l-G-L7iTZo6QV8zRUD6jfi3qVI5U_IM_JhM/edit#gid=0…

Friday night news from DiFi: “Ideally the Senate can reach bipartisan agreement....But if that proves impossible and Republicans continue to abuse the filibuster by requiring cloture votes, I’m open to changing the way the Senate filibuster rules are used.”

2. Check out this chart. THIS is clear motivation if anyone ever needed it

There was a time when Senators from both sides would adhere to & respect certain processes.
Those days are long in the past, sadly.

5. I wonder if the recent questions about her fitness for office

and ability to finish out the term have given Sen Feinstein a little nudge toward cooperation. Just a thought.
