I didn't know that meant that any subsequent vote on the continuing resolution required only 50 votes. I'm still not sure about that, so I will continue to believe CBS's report.

ETA- AFTER the Sunday's vote, I also read that Rand Paul's opposition could slow things down in 1 articles, and in another article prevent passage, something that wouldn't be the case if only 50 votes were needed. . .

On the other hand, I don't know why two 60+ votes are needed . . . media reporting admittedly isn't always accurate and consistent
