Well, you certainly look hard to find a bad article and then post it. Reminds me of the Daily Beast spam we used to see here daily. Democrats and Republicans just haven't agreed on certain elements of the bill. No mortal blow has been struck.

That's an interesting take given what the co-author of the bill, Senator Cynthia Lummis declared:

"I think we're done here."

"It's over."

Doesn't sound like she wants to negotiate with Dems anymore.

Only the bill in its current form is dead.

"What was at stake in Tuesday's vote?
It was effectively a vote to decide if the bill can move forward. It needed 60 "yes" votes to clear that hurdle. Only 49 senators voted "yes" far below the threshold. Meanwhile, 50 senators voted "no," including all Democrats and four Republicans: Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Jerry Moran of Kansas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina. Tillis, however, added a motion so that the bill can be reconsidered and brought up again for a vote."

Here is a balanced article.

It will pass eventually. Democrats apparently haven't gotten enough concessions regarding protections for banks and preventing government officials from profiting from crypto ventures. They are very close, but they just couldn't do it today.
