Both chambers are in a standstill. In the Senate, bill text still hasn't been released on the trillion-dollar infrastructure bill, holding up the amendment process. In the House, Dem leaders are scrambling and trying to lock down votes for an extension of an eviction moratorium. — PolitiTweet.org

House Democratic leadership is shopping around whether the caucus would support extending the eviction moratorium to just October 18 instead of to the end of the year, per multiple sources, but it’s unclear if the votes will be there — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

There is one big reason why the vote was delayed and they were squabbling behind the scenes: The bill text has not been released — and it’s not likely to be amended on the floor. Meaning the underlying bill language is critical. — PolitiTweet.org

Portman tells reporters that Schumer has given them “personal assurances” that he won’t substitute his own version of the bill and will let the bipartisan bill serve as the underlying proposal. Issue may have been resolved since Senate is voting again — PolitiTweet.org

Scant support among the GOP, in the meantime. And getting 60 votes in the Senate is doubtful — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

But the Supreme Court ruled last month and it wasn’t on the Hill agenda til yesterday. A moderate Dem tells me there is “major” pushback — at length of extension, which would go until the end of 2021, and that governors are sitting on rental aid that hasn't been spent — PolitiTweet.org

Frustration is bubbling up internally among Dems over the expiring eviction moratorium, with congressional Democrats pointing fingers at the WH for pushing the Hill to handle the issue just as the House was planning to leave town for a seven-week recess — PolitiTweet.org

Thompson wasn't certain if there would be a hearing in August and said the subject of the next hearing hasn't been decided yet. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Thompson said the panel has also requested information from impeachment investigators from second impeachment and congressional committees that have already done investigative He said "if there are gaps" in the information, then they will determine if a subpoena is warranted. — PolitiTweet.org

Thompson said that the panel would meet with DOJ staff next week, and they were still trying to set up a meeting with Garland. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are accusing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of trying to substitute his own version of the G10 agreement as the base text of the bill that differs from the bipartisan accord. Tillis suggested that as well. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

The 1130am vote on infrastructure to formally begin debate has been delayed for moment as negotiators are squabbling over last-minute changes to the legislative text, according to GOP Sen. Thom Tillis. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

After meeting with Jan. 6 committee, Thompson told us that the panel would send "quite a few" subpoenas soon, but he declined to specify when they would be issued or who would be targeted.
