Other than the parliamentarian's decisions what's going on in the senate? [View all]

The parliamentarian has issued some decisions, most of them good as far as I can tell, but what else is happening? Mike Lee agreed to limit the federal land give away to those lands closest to populated areas, rather than include more remote federal lands that rich people wouldn't want. He made this "compromise" after the parliamentarian ruled that the federal land sale boondoggle can't be part of the budget, so it doesn't make any sense.

Is there a source that reports the predicted outcome? Other than Rand Paul, have any Republicans said they have a problem with the plan to bankrupt the nation? When do we think the vote will be?

Thank you
