I read multiple articles about the Parliamentarian ruling parts ineligible for a Reconciliation Bill, but, you know, I subscribe to the hated New York Times and I read DU.

Since much of this was voted on overnight over the weekend, I don't know where you think this "time to examine most of the issues" existed.

And you do know most Americans don't read newspapers or watch national television news at all, right? Local news is mayhem, sports and weather.
