.@ChrisVanHollen on MSNBC says "there'll be a vote" on Senate rules changes that enable a vote on election legislation, including the Freedom To Vote Act. He says every senator will have to cast their vote in the light of day, calling it a referendum on preserving democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

The Manchin/filibuster nuance that's often missed: He has endorsed a variety of changes to the filibuster, some of them major. Below is a list he made in 2011 👇. What he hasn't supported is changing rules on a party-line basis (which Ds did in 2013 and Rs did in 2017). https://t.co/vcYYZjl2Tr — PolitiTweet.org

In sum: The Manchin puzzle is the same as it's been all year. He wants any filibuster rule change to have bipartisan support (needs 67 via regular order, 50+1 via nuclear option). But Republicans don't want a rule change that enables passage of election legislation they oppose. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin says one of the discussions is to change the standard for overriding a filibuster to three-fifths of those *voting and present* in the Senate—currently it's three-fifths of the entire chamber, i.e. 60 votes flat to move forward with most legislation. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Manchin sounds VERY skeptical about a filibuster carve-out for voting/election legislation: "Once you change rules or have a carve out—I've always said this: Anytime there's a carve out, you eat the whole turkey because it comes back. So you want things that'll be sustainable." — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if he needs any change to Senate/filibuster rules to come with Republican support, Manchin says: "That's my absolute preference." — PolitiTweet.org

.@Sen_JoeManchin says he's having "good conversations" and notes "the need for us to protect democracy as we know it." "I'm talking, I'm not agreeing to any of this." He says talking filibusters, eliminating first motion to proceed, restoring cmte privileges are being discussed. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump releases a statement complaining about the suspensions of Marjorie Taylor Greene, adding: “Everybody should drop off of Twitter and Facebook.” He calls the platforms “boring” and “hated by everyone”—after he fought to reinstate his accounts on both upon being banned. — PolitiTweet.org

A dizzying shift after years of covering elections where the f word was barely even in the lexicon. Also: Lamb’s rival John Fetterman has spent a year regularly putting the filibuster on blast every time it stood in the way of a Democratic priority. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffSadosky but why? seems in large part because infl-adjusted wages for non-college workers have fallen and a degree is more of a prerequisite to a decent wage today than it was for boomers — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says a talking filibuster is “one of the things we’re considering.” He says he’s open to anything that will get the Freedom To Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to the president’s desk. “I don’t want to be pollyannaish here. This is an uphill fight.” — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenSchumer, appearing on @thereidout, says Senate Democrats are considering “a variety of rules changes” with the aim of winning Sinema/Manchin and passing voting and election legislation. They’ll need 50 out of 50 votes in the caucus to change filibuster rules. — PolitiTweet.org

This may have something to do with the fact that U.S. boomers inherited a prosperous economy with broad wage gains, while millennials were handed a financial crash, soaring income inequality, record student debt, spiking child care costs and a melting planet. https://t.co/RNsgvxVyo1 — PolitiTweet.org

NPR/Ipsos poll: 17% of US (incl. 30% of Republicans) say Jan. 6 events "were actually carried out by opponents of Donald Trump, including Antifa and government agents." (This is a lie.
