Schumer filed cloture to shut down debate on omnibus bill since the two sides can’t reach an agreement over amendments. This means: Either they reach a deal for votes Thursday. Or there’s a Friday vote where 10 Rs will have to vote with 50 Ds to break a filibuster to advance bill — PolitiTweet.org

- Tonight, Mike Lee wants approval of Title 42 amendment set at a 51-vote threshold. Ds are worried he’d have the votes for adoption to omnibus. As such, no agreement of all 100 senators to vote on bill - Schumer could shut down debate but that’d require 60 votes. Talks continue — PolitiTweet.org

Immigration politics continue to complicate matters in Senate. - In April, GOP had demanded vote to extend Title 42 to $10B covid relief plan. Since some Ds were gonna vote for it and it could have passed, Schumer didn’t allow a vote. Bill has since died — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell on Zelensky: “The most important thing is to beat the Russians in Ukraine," he told @alizaslav. “Fortunately they have a leader that everyone can look up to and admire. And also it's nice to have something here at the end of the year that we all actually agree on.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rep Matt Gaetz, who has voted against aid to Ukraine, said he came to the Zelensky speech “out of respect, not agreement.” When asked if there was anything in the speech that he found compelling, or that he agreed with, he said: “I love the fashion choices,” per @kristin__wilson — PolitiTweet.org

A wrinkle as Senate tries to lock in agreement for votes on omnibus: Mike Lee wants an amendment vote to keep Title 42 in place, and the two sides are haggling over it, senator tells @tedbarrettcnn. It could still get worked out but all 100 senators need to agree to begin voting — PolitiTweet.org
