You can’t burst in with a violent mob and say it’s nbd because you merely took selfies and TikTok vids during the insurrection. That does not appear to be how the law works. — PolitiTweet.org

A simple fact involving those who say they simply went in the Capitol that day but didn’t commit violence thus did nothing wrong: unlawful entry in a restricted building is subject to criminal penalties. And it gets worse from there. https://t.co/HQ7ldlDVZD — PolitiTweet.org

FLASHBACK: The day after Trump was elected in 2016, Pelosi told him they should work together on a "robust infrastructure jobs bill." — PolitiTweet.org

Never forget how Infrastructure Week became a punchline. Donald Trump pronounced it so in June 2017 before deciding to lash out at James Comey in the Rose Garden and claim he committed perjury. And a meme was born. ~4 years later, Congress passes a major infrastructure bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Five Democrats have voted NO on the infrastructure bill, which means House Republicans will likely have to carry this across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

8 GOP yeses, 5 Dem nos. So far so good for BIF's chances of passing. — PolitiTweet.org

House is voting NOW on final passage of the $550 billion infrastructure bill. The Senate passed this three months ago. If the vote succeeds, this bill can go straight to @JoeBiden's desk to become law. — PolitiTweet.org

progressive caucus evolution 1. Senate must pass Build Back Better before House votes on infrastructure bill 2. House must pass Build Back Better before House votes on infrastructure bill 3. House may pass infrastructure after centrists say they will support Build Back Better — PolitiTweet.org

.@JoeBiden is involved in trying to broker a detente here, per lawmakers. @RepHuffman: "We need to know that this isn't going to be strung out forever. It needs to happen quickly. We need a level of certainty that the support will be there, subject to some fiscal materials." — PolitiTweet.org

So what’s happening now? Centrist Democrats are said to be crafting a statement promising to vote for Build Back Better if/when CBO score shows the bill’s paid for. Language traded back and forth. The goal is a promise that’d make progressives comfortable voting for BIF tonight. — PolitiTweet.org
