Opinion | HayesBrown: It makes sense to assume Democrats deprived GOP campaigns of a specific attack in the midterms. But we saw that it doesn’t matter if moderate Democrats say that they don’t want police defunded, they’ll be attacked for it anyway.
As part of the race to approve that resolution, and finally go on vacation, the Senate spent roughly 14 hours going through 47 amendments. A lot of those amendments involved creating “a deficit-neutral reserve fund,” which is a phrase no normal human has ever uttered.
Under the Senate’s rules, any amendment to a budget resolution has to deal with actual outlays or intakes of funds — that’s why theraising the minimum wage via the Covid-19 relief bill debate earlier this year. The loophole comes when you realize that all the amendments the Senate went through are entirely nonbinding. Committees aren’t required to act on any of them. That goes double when you realize “a deficit-neutral reserve fund” is basically a work of fiction.:
And what about "reserve fund"? According to CRS, "'Reserve fund' refers to any provision establishing procedures to revise spending or revenue levels, or both, if certain legislation is enacted or some other condition is met." So that specifies that the policies for which reserve funds are established won't take effect unless other legislation gets passed as well.

Phoenix police chief suspended over dismissed protest casesPhoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams was given a one-day suspension after lawyers hired by the city issued a report that heavily criticized her agency’s role in a now-discredited gang case against demonstrators last fall at a protest against police brutality. The report released Thursday said the decision to charge 15 protesters with assisting a street gang was made without seeking input from Phoenix police’s gang enforcement unit. It also said the agency didn’t have credible evidence to support the claim that the protesters were members of an anti-police gang called “ACAB,” meaning “All Cops Are Bastards.”
