Larry Summers’ opposition to ARP has made him a frequent citation of Republican leaders to knock Dems on inflation. He has long supported Build Back Better and now he’s in favor of the Schumer-Manchin deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer: "By a wide margin, this legislation will be the greatest pro-climate legislation that has ever been passed by Congress." A summary from his office on the energy/climate provisions in the new deal: https://t.co/QCuQ6JOZ00 — PolitiTweet.org

Taxes are an issue where @SenatorSinema has held more conservative positions than @Sen_JoeManchin throughout reconciliation talks. One of the final pieces of the puzzle for Democratic leaders is aligning the two on that. https://t.co/lc5nj9tqX4 — PolitiTweet.org

New —> Manchin makes his deal but what will Kyrsten Sinema do? There’s not much here that violates ⁦@SenatorSinema⁩’s known red lines. One big exception: She’s been a NO on limiting carried interest. And it’s back. Her office declined to comment. https://t.co/lc5nj9bhIW — PolitiTweet.org

PELOSI on Schumer-Manchin deal: "This agreement is a victory for America’s families and for protecting our planet. In light of the discussions of the past year, this agreement is a remarkable achievement. We will continue to fight for priorities not contained in this legislation" https://t.co/7ueSm0f7FX — PolitiTweet.org

That's especially true after Manchin proved his willingness to walk away last year and put a knife in the House's Build Back Better. On climate change, perhaps the left's No. 1 priority, their choice is $369 billion or $0. — PolitiTweet.org

Progressive lawmakers have been on a roller-coaster journey with Manchin but it's always been extremely unlikely they stop a deal simply because it doesn't go far enough. They don't have leverage and their viable options are (1) nothing, or (2) whatever Manchin wants. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepJayapal gives a thumbs up to Schumer-Manchin deal: "If it's all true ... it’s a huge victory for the American people. It's a really important set of investments in people's health care, keeping costs down, extending the subsidies, and climate change." (via @KyleAlexStewart) — PolitiTweet.org

BIDEN: "This afternoon, I spoke with Senators Schumer and Manchin and offered my support for the agreement they have reached on a bill to fight inflation and lower costs for American families." https://t.co/WLiXOrdK7P — PolitiTweet.org

For those wondering what's in it for Manchin, here's a hint — from his joint statement with Schumer: "Additionally, we have reached agreement with President Biden and Speaker Pelosi to pass comprehensive permitting reform legislation before the end of this fiscal year." — PolitiTweet.org

An intriguing twist in this Schumer/Manchin deal: It limits carried interest to the tune of $14 billion. Last year, @SenatorSinema made clear to Democratic leaders she doesn't want to touch carried interest. Sinema's office, for now, is NOT commenting. https://t.co/5NSMhhEhrv — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer and Manchin are calling it the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 In a statement of his own, Manchin denies he has abandoned his positions. "I have never and will never walk away from solving the problems facing the nation we all love," he says. https://t.co/5NSMhhEhrv — PolitiTweet.org

Spoke to about a dozen Pennsylvania Democrats for a recent Senate race story and every one of them mentioned Oz-NJ, mostly unprompted. Dems as a party aren't known for being on message but they are on this one. Impact TBD. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenToomey told me last week he's "fully supportive of Dr. Oz." "I haven't put it in like a formal declaration, but there’s no there's no secret about it." He says the two have "spoken a number of times," including about strategy in the Senate race. https://t.co/AeDFXDCBYT — PolitiTweet.org
