@robtaylor231 @Neoavatara Pradheep: Tester torpedoed Biden's stepped-up basis tax plan. But Senate D buckers are self-evident; I said House. Rob is is right: Gottheimer crew forced Pelosi's hand on BIF pre BBB—had a big impact. D centrists demanded Pelosi's 2-term limit, forced a pro-police package. Etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Historical continuity. As anyone with a passing familiarity of the House GOP in the last 12 years knows, the centrists raise their voices from time to time but they don't buck leadership when it really counts. It's unlike the Dem caucus, where the centrists do flex vs. leaders. — PolitiTweet.org

Not to be lost in the #SOTU news cycle: Kevin McCarthy has lined up his GOP centrists behind his demands for concessions on a debt limit bill. Don Bacon has gone from MAYBE to NO on a discharge petition, which requires a small group of Rs teaming with Ds. https://t.co/I05l5WTrjL — PolitiTweet.org

It’s no small thing; Trump won in 2016 by using unpopular GOP orthodoxy against Republican rivals. Hitting them from the left on Social Security and Medicare, trashing hedge fund execs as paying too little in taxes, etc. He may re-run that play on FairTax: https://t.co/OTvk5CtQKY — PolitiTweet.org

“The speech has been an increasingly bankrupt exercise for generations now,” Bill Clinton’s speechwriter Jeff Shesol says of SOTU. “It has felt increasingly rote, often exceedingly empty and removed from the reality of our national and political life.” https://t.co/2FB4XbuFHa — PolitiTweet.org

This is the other key dynamic 👇 A discharge petition requires 37 legislative days to ripen, which in House calendar time is months (to say nothing of the Senate). It’s not something they can burn the clock and fall back on at the last minute. — PolitiTweet.org

Don Bacon is one of the most centrist House Republicans. He sits in a swing district Biden won. He's been an outspoken critic of the GOP's far right, even floating a speaker backed by Dems. If Bacon is not on board, it’s doubtful ANY Republican will be. https://t.co/I05l5WTZ9j — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Centrist GOP Rep. Don Bacon closes the door to teaming up with Democrats on a clean debt limit increase via discharge petition "I think it’s DOA." He says Biden must "make some compromises" with GOP. Rep. Bob Good is pleased: "Glad to hear that." https://t.co/I05l5WTZ9j — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Rep. Ralph Norman tells me House Republicans are putting pen to paper on a spending-cut plan that can get 218 votes, and potentially land in the next few weeks. “We’re gonna get specific. We’re just working through it. Gotta get 218 votes,” he says. “It’s gonna be on paper.” — PolitiTweet.org

At the risk of being a broken record: If you're proposing to... ...not cut Social Security or Medicare ...and not shrink the Pentagon ...and not raise taxes Then you are not proposing to balance the federal budget. Non-military discretionary spending is ~15% of the budget. — PolitiTweet.org

No specifics from Speaker McCarthy in his debt limit address today on what spending cuts Republicans are demanding in a debt limit increase. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
McCarthy says says a debt limit increase should "preserve our ability to defend this nation." "Cuts to Medicare and Social Security—they are off the table." "Defaulting on our debt is not an option but neither is a future of higher taxes, higher interest rates." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
McCarthy calls for "a responsible debt limit increase that puts us on a path to a healthier economy." He doesn't get specific on policy, calls for "sensible, responsible solutions" to the debt. He cites: "wasteful Washington spending" — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy reaffirms his demand to include unspecified policy add-ons to a debt ceiling extension: "The debt limit is one of the most important opportunities Congress has to change course." — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy: "It's time for Washington to change its behavior and act like adults... We are committed to finding solutions that curb inflation... The runaway spending of the last few years? It's over. Now we must return Washington to a basic truth: debt matters." — PolitiTweet.org

On Fox News Sunday, White House economic adviser @econjared46 tells Republicans to stop the “airy fairy talk” and detail their spending cuts. “There’s no line in the budget that says ‘waste, fraud and abuse.’ There’s no line in the budget that says ‘this is the woke spending.’” https://t.co/dlSxY1bm7R — PolitiTweet.org
