.@SpeakerPelosi trying to restore unity among Dems today after vocal infighting over emergency border supplemental. "You make me the target, but don’t make our Blue Dogs and our New Dems the target in all of this because we have important fish to fry," she said, per source. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting DHS Secretary McAleenan, will testify before @OversightDems 7/18. On 7/12, the committee will hear from @RepEscobar @RepRashida @RepPressley and @RepAOC - the last 3 voted against the emergency border supplemental last month (& have come under fire from Pelosi for it). — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

The House has passed the Senate’s $4.6 billion bill to provide humanitarian aid to migrants at the southern border by a vote of 305 to 102. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Immediately after the vote, a visibly emotional @RepEscobar calls for a moment of silence for migrants who have tried to reach the US, invoking the father and daughter who died crossing the Rio Grande this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

A procedural vote on the Senate bill, sans changes sought by progressive Dems, passed with 322-85. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

VP Pence agreed to notify members within 24 hours if a migrant child dies in custody, and to limit the time a child could be in an influx facility to 90 days, per a source familiar with discussions. These will be administrative actions, not codified by law as some Dems wanted. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

After making concessions to win support from progressives earlier in the week, @SpeakerPelosi "reluctantly" agreed to pass the Senate's $4.6 billion bill for humanitarian aid at the border without more stringent protections for migrant children: https://t.co/V8nYFxk72c — PolitiTweet.org

Sure enough, Progressive Caucus Chairs ⁦@repmarkpocan⁩ and ⁦@RepJayapal⁩ call the clean senate bill “entirely insufficient.” https://t.co/y4RmnMGMK3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

The House is now poised to vote on a clean version of the Senate bill. There will undoubtedly be some unhappy progressives, who successfully got leadership to add more stringent protections for migrant children earlier this week. They won’t be part of the bill that gets a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

The House has scrapped a procedural vote on the Senate border bill plus additional Democratic elements to increase safeguards for migrant children. After a nearly hourlong call with Pence, @SpeakerPelosi is huddling with leadership. Plus @LindseyGrahamSC just walked in... — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Tough needle to thread for @SpeakerPelosi: Progressives won't vote for the Senate's emergency border funding bill without changes. But the 23 Dems in the Problem Solvers Caucus just put out a statement asking for immediate floor consideration of the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

⁦.@RepCummings⁩ argues that the SCOTUS census ruling bolsters the need for his committee’s investigation into the origins of the citizenship question. ⁦@OversightDems⁩ held Barr and Ross in contempt on 6/12 for defying subpoenas. https://t.co/VKjwDXvR3J — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

“What is the objection?” @SpeakerPelosi asks, asking aloud why Republicans wouldn’t support ensuring that children have access to resources or reimbursing nonprofits who have spent money to help migrants. — PolitiTweet.org

“I would not vote for the Senate bill,” says Congessional Progressive Caucus chairwoman @RepJayapal. She would vote for the Senate version with House amendments - but @senatemajldr doesn’t seem interested in those changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

A senior democratic aide says @SpeakerPelosi spoke to Trump for 15 minutes by phone to try to reconcile the House and Senate border supplementals. The White House has said they would veto the House version. Senate votes on their version this afternoon. — PolitiTweet.org

Correcting previous tweet: @justinamash joined Democrats in voting to authorize a subpoena for Kellyanne Conway. He also joined Oversight Democrats in voting to recommend contempt for AG Barr and Commerce Secretary Ross for failing to comply with a subpoena on the 2020 census. — PolitiTweet.org
