Do bills still matter, whether they pass or not? Apparently it's rule by executive order from here on out.

I'm not sure there's much really stopping 51 members of the Senate from ramming through a rule-change to completely do away with the filibuster.

That filibustering is still a valid political instrument is so weird as a non american. Maybe the us wouldn't be in this mess if it wouldn't cling to political process from the 1800s

Latest is that their budget would include 4.5T in tax cuts, 2T in spending cuts which makes up the majority of what Trump wants from Congress anyway.

It's not like they were ever looking to pass giant infrastructure bills. Everything else e.g. border security can be done through Executive Order.
