The House is now voting on HR6, the American Dream and Promise Act, which would allow 3+ million immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children to gain permanent legal status. 7 Republicans voted yes on this bill when it passed the House in 2019. 6 are still in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked by @NikolenDC whether he regrets using phrases like "China virus" after Atlanta shooting, @GOPLeader says: "I would wait to see why shooter did what he did. I think virus came from China." Says he doesn't think anyone should go after any Asian person and condemns shootings. — PolitiTweet.org

As @GOPLeader said after the vote, "There's a real concern about the administration directing where money goes. This doesn't add one more dollar. I think members here know what's most important about what's going on in their district, not Biden." — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

This aligns with guardrails @rosadelauro put in place when she announced the return of the newly-rebranded "community project funding." While there's still opposition in the conference, the reality is that Republicans could get on board or cede spending control to Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

The House GOP has voted to reverse an internal ban on earmarks now that House Democrats are moving forward with the practice. Requests must be publicly disclosed with member name and a written justification and have no financial interest (for them or their immediate family). — PolitiTweet.org

GOP leadership is whipping against HR 6, the Dream Act, when it comes to the floor Thursday, because it doesn't include enforcement provisions. 7 Republicans voted yes when this passed in 2019; 6 of them are still in Congress.

USCP says they've modified the current fencing around the Capitol to help drivers and pedestrians. Earlier today, acting House SAA sent a memo to saying USCP doesn't see a known or credible threat and the perimeter would be smaller-with razor wire on inner fence coming down. — PolitiTweet.org

BUT: The big one is now in. After 14 of the 19 House Democrats called on Cuomo to resign, @SenSchumer and @SenGillibrand now say Cuomo should resign.

A senior Democratic aide responds to this: "This will be tabled instantly. This is a waste of time. Swalwell handled this situation appropriately and has been accused of no wrongdoing. Republicans should be very wary of starting something like this." — PolitiTweet.org
