Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla tells me the parliamentarian's ruling yesterday was only on the parole provision for undocumented immigrants. What about the House BBB provisions on green card recapture and country quotas? "Still waiting" on her opinion for those, he says. — PolitiTweet.org

So what’s going on in the Senate? Democrats want to confirm 20+ Biden nominations before leaving town. The two parties are trading offers on a consent package for speedy votes. They’re moving slowly because of a hold by Ted Cruz who’s demanding action on Nord Stream sanctions. — PolitiTweet.org

No. 2 Republican Sen. Thune says he'll vote to make @RahmEmanuel US Ambassador to Japan. "He'll have a lot of support on our side," he says. "People realize in that region of the world right now—we need some guys that are no nonsense." He needs some GOP votes to be confirmed. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked Sen. Ron Johnson yesterday if he's running for reelection; he's still holding his cards close to the vest. Is he closer to a decision? "Every day it gets closer." He said on Nov. 9 he expects to decide "over the next couple weeks." But y'day he didn't offer a time frame. — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to read this as anything other than the parliamentarian concluding this cause is ineligible for budget reconciliation, whatever the form. If Democrats want to overhaul immigration they need to find 60 votes or impose new rules to make the Senate a majority-vote body. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate parliamentarian has rejected Democrats’ Plan C on immigration, as passed in House BBB, Durbin confirms. “Disappointed, and we’re considering what options remain.” Why? “Same reasoning, too many rights extended,” he tells @frankthorp. Is there a plan D? “Not at this point.” — PolitiTweet.org

THE MANCHIN PUZZLE: He's open to Senate rule changes as long as they're bipartisan. But there's no GOP interest in this, especially for a voting overhaul. "I don't see the need for rule changes," his moderate Republican friend @SenatorCollins tells me. https://t.co/mZyQan9j1t — PolitiTweet.org

Undeniably a ton of energy behind this cause. But don't mistake the flurry of activity for a sign that the Senate is about to pass an election bill. The dynamics haven't changed: Dems still lack a way around the filibuster unless Manchin/Sinema flip. https://t.co/mZyQan9j1t — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Democrats rev up voting rights push to end 2021. But Senate path remains elusive. They don't have 50 votes for rules change. Manchin wants it bipartisan (GOP will never back a rule that enables election bill). Sinema is still a NO. w/ @janestreet: https://t.co/mZyQan9j1t — PolitiTweet.org

Per a source familiar with his thinking: "Senator Manchin is not telling President Biden what to include or not include. He has always been supportive of the CTC. He has also made it clear the cost should not be greater than $1.75T. Paying for CTC over 10 years is about $1.4T." — PolitiTweet.org

The irony of Democrats struggling this much to finish Build Back Better: It's a rare political bright spot at a rough moment for the party. Biden's approval has fallen since April but BBB's high popularity has barely budged. https://t.co/xFeC4IEWPt — PolitiTweet.org

Put this down as a necessary but insufficient step to Democrats passing a voting rights bill. The two big holdouts—Sinema and Manchin—still haven't endorsed a rules change that would enable a major election reform bill to come to a vote. Can't happen without both their votes. — PolitiTweet.org
