Lost in the mayhem today is the fact that progressives have dropped from $6 trillion to $3.5 trillion to endorsing a $1.75 trillion framework. Seems quite clear they’re willing to compromise on the substance of the safety net bill, even as they’re stubborn about the process. — PolitiTweet.org

@moorehn Schumer has had plenty of unanimous dem votes too; ARP is one example. But unity in the minority is quite different and it’s never been a baseline assumption for a majority in my time covering the hill. What your theory for how he could’ve whipped these 2? — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Both can be true! But is there a historical basis for assuming a Senate leader shall be able to whip 100% of his caucus to vote for a major bill? Four years ago, Mitch McConnell had 52 seats and failed to pass ACA repeal despite promising it for seven years. — PolitiTweet.org

A wild fact about Democrats dropping paid leave: It's so popular even Donald Trump felt the need to endorse the idea in 2020. He didn't back a Biden-style guarantee, of course. Trump endorsed a more limited bill led by ::checks notes:: Kyrsten Sinema. https://t.co/UXVYclEd0Q — PolitiTweet.org

Jayapal: "There are still a lot of people who just really believe that we cannot pass the BIF without the full agreement, legislative language and a vote" on BBB. She says 50 senators need to back BBB "with no undermining" and that the two bills must move to a vote "together." — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepJayapal tells @GarrettHaake: "There are many people who simply do not feel comfortable voting for the infrastructure bill without the full legislative text and a vote on the Build Back Better act. That is just where we've been for months. People feel very strongly about it." https://t.co/I89FoPkRDK — PolitiTweet.org

The @USProgressives just met. Chair @RepJayapal said coming out of it that the infrastructure bill doesn't have the votes yet: "Too many no votes for the BIF to pass today." But she says they're "committed to staying here" to get Build Back Better done. (via @KyleAlexStewart) — PolitiTweet.org
