Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Mitch McConnell, plan to use the filibuster to block Democrats from preventing a default.
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) tweeted:

The filibuster is the tyranny of the Senate minority. Republicans aren’t using the filibuster to make sure that issues are debated and all viewpoints are heard.
In Republican hands, the filibuster is a weapon that is used to block progress and inflict destruction.
Senators like Manchin and Sinema should see that by opposing killing the filibuster, they are helping Republicans wreck a fragile economy.
Kill the filibuster to save the economy, because Mitch McConnell is determined to cause a global financial crisis, and people like Joe Manchin have given him the tools to do it.
