Rep. DeFazio: “I've been here for cliffs and crises and wars, and this is going to be the biggest mash up we've ever had since I've been here — with the debt limit, with a government shutdown, with reconciliation, and with infrastructure, and I have no idea how it all works out.” — PolitiTweet.org

House Transportation Chair @RepPeterDeFazio says he’s working hard on his portion of reconciliation. “If it's actually going to happen, we're doing pretty well. So — I mean, go ask Manchin or Sinema,” he says. — PolitiTweet.org

More Chris Murphy on why the debt ceiling won’t be in the Democrats-only bill: “Newsflash: It’s possible we won't have reconciliation done by the time the debt ceiling expires.” — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
.@ChrisMurphyCT says the debt limit needs to be bipartisan “because Republicans need to pay for the things that they voted for. So we can't get in a world in which only one party agrees to pay the bills of the United States government while the other party sits on the sidelines.” — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if he will to filibuster a debt ceiling increase and force a 60-vote threshold, @tedcruz tells me: “There is no universe in which I will consent to making it easier for Chuck Schumer and the Democrats to add trillions more in debt.” That sounds like a yes. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenJohnKennedy: “If they put the debt ceiling on the CR with disaster relief, then the CR is going to go down like a fat guy on a seesaw.” He says he will “likely vote” YES for the disaster relief funds but that it won’t get 10 Republican votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if he sees any way Congress can finish the reconciliation bill by next week, Sen. Angus King says: “You're talking to the wrong person. You should be talking to Sinema and Manchin.” — PolitiTweet.org

Durbin downplays the idea that Senate Democrats would overrule/ignore the parliamentarian. “I don’t believe that’s realistic,” he says, referring to a lack of support within the caucus. He says there’s a Plan B, C and D on putting immigration in the reconciliation bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell says Democrats "want to build a partisan future without our input," thus Republicans won't facilitate a "purely partisan spending binge." "One party controls the entire government. They have the power to address this alone," he says re: debt limit. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
McConnell reiterates that GOP senators oppose extending the debt limit if Democrats "go it alone" on the multi-trillion-dollar bill. "They will not get Senate Republicans' help with raising the debt limit." "We do not have divided government. Democrats do not need our help." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
“On debt limit, the Republicans are doing a dine and dash of historic proportions,” Chuck Schumer says. He says McConnell “always comes up with some sophistry as to why it's different” now, argues it’s similar to 2017 when Dems helped a GOP-led gov’t extend debt limit. — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer calls the Senate parliamentarian's immigration ruling "extremely disappointing." "It saddened me. It frustrated me. It angered me. But make no mistake, the fight continues." He says Dems will return to the parliamentarian, doesn't specify how they'll rewrite the policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi-Schumer argument is this debt limit hike is "commensurate with the debt incurred as a result of passing last winter’s bipartisan $908 billion emergency COVID relief legislation" many Republicans backed. (Needs 60 votes. McConnell says R senators oppose a debt limit hike.) — PolitiTweet.org

New @SpeakerPelosi & @SenSchumer statement: "The legislation to avoid a government shutdown will also include a suspension of the debt limit through December 2022 to once again meet our obligations and protect the full faith and credit of the United States." https://t.co/fXMoSmZbjT — PolitiTweet.org

The fallback plan Democrats are exploring on immigration 👇. Current law sets a 1/1/1972 entry deadline into the US for qualified undocumented people to apply for green cards. This would push that date to 1/1/2010. BUT it remains unclear if the parliamentarian would allow it. — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenJDuffield @mattdizwhitlock @BrendanBuck yep! and if there’s no neutral referee, no point having a Byrd rule. this all comes down to a procedural debate between senators about what gets to pass on a simple majority and what should require a higher bar. the law + constitution defer to them — PolitiTweet.org

Under the Senate Byrd rule, Biden's Build Back Better bill can't add to the deficit *after 10 years*. To make a policy permanent requires fully paying for it. That's highly unlikely with everything in here — which means deciding what's temporary and when to set the cliffs. — PolitiTweet.org
