Senate left for the night without addressing transportation funding set to expire at midnight. But the chamber reconvenes tomorrow at noon. Such a bill has to originate in the House and it can be approved quickly if the infrastructure bill doesn’t get approved — PolitiTweet.org

“I don’t see a deal tonight. I really don’t,” Manchin says, per @FoxReports — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi sends letter offering no clarity on the path ahead. “Discussions continue with the House, Senate and White House to reach a bicameral framework agreement to Build Back Better through a reconciliation bill.” https://t.co/l6QL2AsTI8 — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

I asked if he wouldn’t sign onto a deal tonight. “What deal, what deal? We do not what the deal is? If it's a $10 trillion deal I will sign off on it” — PolitiTweet.org

Sanders: “So whatever kind of discussions are taking place tonight, taking place tomorrow, taking place the day after, in a calmer setting where people will be involved in that discussion.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Sanders: “So I want to see the infrastructure bill passed, but it's absolutely imperative that we pass a strong, reconciliation bill that deals with the needs of working families, and it deals with the existential threat of climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

“And I think what has got to happen is that tonight, the bipartisan infrastructure bill must be defeated. And we can the. sit down and work out a way to pass both pieces of legislation.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Sanders: “It is an absurd way to do business, to be negotiating a multi trillion dollar bill a few minutes before a major vote with virtually nobody knowing what's going on. That's unacceptable.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin was coy about whether a deal on a framework can be reached tonight. “I’ll find out in a little bit,” he told us, adding: “Anything is possible.” Manchin added as he walked onto the floor: “I think everybody understands where everybody is.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

WH aides Brian Deese, Susan Rice and Shuwanza Goff are now in the Senate as they try to see if they can find a deal between the Dem leadership — and Manchin and Sinema on framework on larger bill that could be signed off on by progressives ahead of infrastructure vote in House. — PolitiTweet.org

On Manchin’s $1.5 trillion demand for the package, Durbin: “That makes some dramatic cuts in our plans if we go to that level. So I hope that was a negotiating position.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

He has not been read into the ongoing talks between the WH and Hill leaders - along with Manchin and Sinema - to try to get a deal on an outline of the package before infrastructure vote tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Dick Durbin told me of Manchin and Sinema and talks over the social safety net package. “People are getting impatient. I share that impatience. I think we want to be respectful of our colleagues and hopes to change things. There comes a point where we’ve got to close the deal.” — PolitiTweet.org

Meantime, Gottheimer just said on @cnnsitroom he's "1,000 percent" sure the infrastructure bill will pass tonight — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Pramila Jayapal, head of progressive caucus, told me she's certain her rank-and-file won't break ranks to back infrastructure. "I have never seen our caucus so strong. And I’m a very good vote counter, also, maybe not quite as good as Nancy Pelosi sometimes, but I’m excellent." — PolitiTweet.org
