The Senate can change their rules at any time, they just need 60 votes or to invoke the "nuclear option" and pass with 50. Democrats have been reluctant to do so because it makes changing rules easier in the future and for some reason they don't think the party with the majority should be able to pass things with just a majority.

Feinstein could have ended this stalemate at any time by retiring, but the ghouls around her didn't want to surrender their power.

Wish the article was clearer on amount of fentanyl. First sentence indicated 100lbs of packaged fentanyl pills. That could be a relatively small amount if it's just being used as a filler. Later sentence indicates charges for over 100lbs of fentanyl, but this is probably similar to charging for full weight of end product like they do with edibles to increase the charges.
