Senator Tom Udall (D-NM), whom I worked for this past summer, tried to reform the Senate filibuster at the beginning of this session of Congress. Although, his efforts were not entirely successful, he did move party leaders toward more modest reforms such as limiting the executive branch nominations subject to Senate confirmation, making it more difficult for senators to anonymously block nominations or legislation, and ending certain stall tactics.
Here is a Politico article on the subject.
