Wall Street has been overconfident about the debt limit in the past—less so this year, appropriately. Regardless they don’t get a vote on this, their grip on the GOP is weaker today than in 2011, and we’ve seen that brinkmanship alone can spook markets even if default is averted. — PolitiTweet.org

@maxasteele right. he had a stroke of luck at the end that doesn't diminish the achievement. much like Hamilton in '08 — PolitiTweet.org

Verstappen won more races than Hamilton (10-8), had more podiums (18-17), more pole positions (10-5), more laps led (652-297), tied on fastest laps (6-6). Via https://t.co/sxtsA7NDXM. In a car that finished 2nd in the constructors fight. The correct take https://t.co/04ZRUE6DoG — PolitiTweet.org

Worth noting the fast-track procedure available to Democrats allows them to raise the debt limit by any amount they want—and just this once, Republicans can't filibuster. $2.5T is a choice that sets up another fight in 2023 under a potentially GOP-controlled Congress. https://t.co/aDQAZwyH6g — PolitiTweet.org

House Republican leaders are whipping a "no" vote on the Mark Meadows resolution, i.e. pressuring the caucus to protect him from a contempt of Congress referral for defiance of a Jan. 6 committee subpoena. It's headed for a floor vote later today. — PolitiTweet.org

Here is the debt limit resolution. Congress is planning on raising it by $2.5 trillion, with the goal of getting through the 2022 midterm election. https://t.co/jvMZRGA64X — PolitiTweet.org

White House is similarly mum on what was said on the Biden-Manchin call. Spokesman @AndrewJBates46: "The President and Senator Manchin had a good, constructive phone call and agreed to follow up with one another in the coming days." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Manchin can be firm and clear when he feels strongly about an issue (paid leave, Hyde amendment, obey the parliamentarian, don't nuke filibuster). Other times he expresses preferences and it's unclear if he's posturing (BBB timing, sunsets, what counts as tackling inflation.) — PolitiTweet.org

Full readout on the Biden-Manchin call today, via Manchin’s communications director: “Senator Manchin and President Biden had a productive conversation this afternoon. They will continue to talk over the coming days.” — PolitiTweet.org

"This remains a laborious process requiring a lot of precision and lot of pieces moving together," @SenSchumer says of BBB. "The work is not yet finished. But we're working hard to put the Senate in a position to get the legislation across the finish line before Christmas." — PolitiTweet.org

bragging about federal funding you voted against is becoming sort of a tradition on Capitol Hill. usually it's done with a modicum of shame or creative messaging. but there is no shame here. pinnacle of the genre. — PolitiTweet.org
