Asked by @GarrettHaake whether he plans to act on gun violence, @SpeakerMcCarthy said y'day: "I would never do anything without having all the info." He says California has strict gun laws, notes the recent shooters are different—"older in age." No signal that the House will act. — PolitiTweet.org

Schiff/Swalwell/Omar respond: “It’s disappointing but not surprising that Kevin McCarthy has capitulated to the right wing of his caucus, undermining the integrity of the Congress, and harming our national security in the process.” https://t.co/Yk5Aqd6vRv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Norman is excited to serve on Rules and vows that conservatives will have power. “The three of us—I don't think there's ever been a bloc of people like us that's been on the Rules Committee.” Says he won’t support allowing bills to the floor unless he plans to vote YES. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RubenGallego on his path to winning Arizona’s Senate seat: “Our path is very, very clear. Solidify Latinos and Democrats. A lot of Latinos are actually independents… We're going to also have the crossover appeal for some Republicans based on our national security background.” — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell's chief deputy @SenJohnThune on what kind of debt ceiling bill can pass the Senate: "I would say anything that can get through a Republican House, and that could be signed by the president, probably could get 60 in the Senate." https://t.co/c6gKlx9WNS — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

NEW: @LeaderMcConnell puts the onus on @SpeakerMcCarthy to craft a debt limit solution. He doubts "any debt ceiling provision" that gets 60 Senate votes can pass this House. "I wish him well in talking to the president." Biden says it isn't negotiable. https://t.co/c6gKlx9WNS — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell on Sinema, continued: "As to whether or not she chooses to run again, it's really her decision. And I think it is a big dilemma for the Senate Democratic majority to decide whether to support her or support somebody running on the Democratic ticket." — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell on Sinema: "Sen. Sinema has been an important part of the US Senate. The most important thing she did was to save the institution itself by protecting the filibuster. She's also been a significant part of the bipartisan agreements that have been reached in the Senate." — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell puts the onus to resolve debt ceiling on McCarthy, saying he doesn’t envision a bill that gets 60 in Senate passing the House. “So I think it's entirely reasonable for the new speaker to put spending reduction on the table. I wish him well in talking to the president.” https://t.co/V6BkqT0mAs — PolitiTweet.org

Asked @SenSchumer if he’ll support Sinema, should she run, or the Democratic nominee in Arizona Senate race. His response: “Senator Sinema is an excellent Congress member and Senate member, and she has done a lot of good things here. But it's much too early to make a decision.” — PolitiTweet.org
