This is priceless (or maybe price-ful, somehow)

Senate nears pivotal vote on bipartisan infrastructure deal that’s still unwritten

Among the proposed funding sources that could change is a provision related to IRS enforcement, a controversial subject for Republicans. The idea of plowing $40 billion into increased tax enforcement had become increasingly toxic in the Senate GOP, and its demise leaves negotiators with a gaping revenue hole.

First of all, the idea they want to vote on a bill that hasn't even been written yet is prime horror-show material. 

But then the R's not wanting to bolster IRS enforcement seems perfectly on-brand, doesn't it? It's hard to imagine anyone on the D team could have imagined, even, that would sell. Especially since, you know, the former guy.

Do they even care if this makes sense?
