New - Top Rs say Jackson unlikely to get more than few GOP votes — and that may be a stretch. Graham almost certainly a no despite voting YES before. Blames Biden. “I'll make my decision based on his decision” to play to the base. And downplays past vote. https://t.co/1meHEXpehp — PolitiTweet.org

GOP, led by Cruz, pushes for pre-sentencing reports from child porn cases at issue. Here’s the letter Cruz got entered in the record. Durbin says it’s a “fishing expedition” and could endanger third parties. Cruz said they could redact the names. Sasse the lone R not to sign https://t.co/gsdBdvJY3o — PolitiTweet.org
