The Trump tax cuts look safer today than they have in a long time, with different pieces of it poised to be saved by Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. — PolitiTweet.org

Good reminder of how important individual congressional races are. Bill Nelson and Cal Cunningham fumbled away winnable contests, making a Trump+39 seat Democrats’ deciding vote. Dems ran the table in the Georgia runoffs, giving Biden’s agenda a fighting chance in the first place — PolitiTweet.org

A Manchin spokesperson responds: “Senator Manchin believes it’s time for leaders to put political agendas aside, reevaluate and adjust to the economic realities the country faces to avoid taking steps that add fuel to the inflation fire.” https://t.co/KJdsAbk0uP — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin's latest twist leaves Chuck Schumer with two grim options 1) Drop the entire reconciliation package 2) Pass only the items Manchin supports (along with all Democrats), i.e. drug pricing and ACA money https://t.co/KJdsAbk0uP — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change funding has gone from $555 billion to $300 billion and now to probably $0 in Democrats' big bill. A huge blow to one of Biden's top priorities, especially after the Supreme Court limited EPA's power. https://t.co/KJdsAbk0uP — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Manchin told Democratic leadership he's a NO on climate and tax pieces of reconciliation, per a Dem briefed on talks. Instead he wants a skinny health bill w/ drug pricing provisions and a 2-year ACA funding extension. w/ @frankthorp @JulieNBCNews: https://t.co/KJdsAbk0uP — PolitiTweet.org

New: Senate Republicans block Democrats' bill to protect women traveling to another state for abortion. One warns of "abortion tourism." GOP appears split on this issue but the appetite to legislate it is small. House will pass similar bill tomorrow. https://t.co/92mi0hHc8f — PolitiTweet.org

Vexing part for Democratic senators is Kyrsten Sinema has declined to say why she opposes raising corporate rates; neither she nor her office has been willing to answer questions about it. But D leaders have accepted that she’d scuttle a bill over that and are acting accordingly. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. James Lankford, objecting to the Democrats' bill, says proponents shouldn't be asking whether a woman has a right to travel to get an abortion, they should instead ask: "Does the child in the womb have the right to travel in their future?" — PolitiTweet.org

Lankford rejects Cortez Masto's bill affirming freedom to travel for abortion, says "no state" has banned it. "There's a child in this conversation as well," he says. CCM: "The issue here before us is exactly a states rights issue... All my legislation says is respect my state." — PolitiTweet.org

News: Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto seeks unanimous consent to pass her bill barring restrictions on women traveling to a state to get a legal abortion. Sen. James Lankford objects on behalf of Republicans, calling it an attempt "to inflame, to raise the what ifs." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Democrats are on the Senate floor advocating for a bill by Sen. Cortez Masto that'd prohibit restrictions on women traveling to another state to get an abortion where it's legal. Sen. Daines previews the GOP opposition, bashing "abortion tourism" and calling the bill "radical." — PolitiTweet.org
