“It’s their responsibility to deal with their people,” Pelosi said. “How we deal with addressing the fear that they have instilled with their islamophobia and the rest is something that hopefully we can do in a bipartisan way. But the responsibility is on them.” — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi not saying how she will deal with Boebert. I asked her to explain how this is different than MTG and Gosar, when Dems kicked them off committees. She criticized Boebert’s comments, and said she didn’t want to focus on what GOP is and isn’t doing to discipline their members — PolitiTweet.org

In caucus meeting, Pelosi didn’t express her preference on Boebert and reiterated that Republicans should be disciplining their members, per multiple members. “Nancy deflected it,” one member says — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans in the Senate are expected to win a vote tonight to overturn Biden’s vaccine mandate on businesses. Two Democrats — Tester and Manchin — back the GOP effort, and it needs just a simple majority of 51 votes. But even if it passes House, Biden would veto it. — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer just took a procedural step to advance House’s debt ceiling bill, setting up a key vote to break a GOP filibuster on Thursday. Sixty votes would be needed to advance the bill, which would establish a process to allow hike to be approved by a simple majority in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Just one House Republican voted for the deal cut by McConnell to create a new process to fast-track a debt ceiling hike and avert a default: Adam Kinzinger. The bill passed the House, 222-212, and now heads to the Senate — PolitiTweet.org

House is now voting on legislation that would stave off cuts to Medicare and also create a process to avert a debt default by allowing a debt ceiling hike to happen by a simple majority vote in the Senate by Jan. 15 — a deal cut by McConnell and Schumer — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi on the House punishing Boebert. “I said why won’t you ask the Republicans? All you do is ask us what we’re doing about what they should be doing as far as their members,” she said, per @AnnieGrayerCNN. Omar said this weekend that she expected “decisive action” from Pelosi — PolitiTweet.org

"I am," McConnell says when asked if he's backing Laxalt, who has done what few have: Unite both wings. Cortez Masto says race isn't about Biden, but GOP trying to nationalize it. $9M spent on air so far. How Biden numbers reshaping fight for Senate: https://t.co/m2te5Pfx9o — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell heard concerns behind closed doors over precedent the fast-track debt ceiling would set as well as the fact it would be folded into a bill to stave off automatic cuts to Medicare. “There's a lot of concern...that no is a bad vote and yes is a bad vote," Sen. Cramer said — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell predicts there will be enough Republicans to vote to enact this new fast-track debt limit process on Thursday after House approves it today. Says then Dems can approve debt ceiling hike on their own in just one day — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Mixed reviews among Rs but expectation is there would be 60 votes for this new fast-track process. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

The language to create this new process was folded into a bill to prevent cuts to Medicare - and will be taken up by House first. But to enact this new process, there would need to be 60 votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

The measure requires the debt ceiling to be increased by a specific dollar amount (rather than just a suspension of the debt ceiling). McConnell has insisted on Dems being forced for a specific dollar amount (i.e. raise the debt ceiling to north of $30 trillion) — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

The new process would ensure the debt ceiling legislation cannot be amended and would be immediately considered by the Senate. Debate would be limited to 10 hours. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

This new bill, which has been negotiated by Schumer and McConnell, would allow the debt ceiling to be increased only up until Jan. 15 by a simple majority vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

New — Language released to increase debt ceiling via a fast-track process and be approved by simple majority. McConnell briefing his leadership team on this new process bill — which would just be allowed this one time — and will brief conference at lunch. https://t.co/IWE5m1wIrS — PolitiTweet.org
