Romney makes it three Republicans in support of KBJ, joining Collins and Murkowski — PolitiTweet.org

Murkowski makes big news: “After multiple in-depth conversations with Judge Jackson and deliberative review of her record and recent hearings, I will support her historic nomination to be an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sounds like Dems will yield back most of their time, so the discharge vote on KBJ might be around 7ish — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer and Romney just confirmed the $10 billion covid deal. Details here https://t.co/vfeZwxsTyy Schumer: "President Biden supports this package and has asked the Senate and House to act quickly to get this bill to his desk." — PolitiTweet.org

@ilanagain the 60-vote threshold is gone, yes. But cloture votes remain. And if you have to file cloture, someone is filibustering (delaying) — PolitiTweet.org

@nycsouthpaw I'm a layman compared to others but I believe you need to do a separate discharge vote for each nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

After KBJ comes to floor, Schumer will probably cloture on her tomorrow. That sets up a Thursday vote to break filibuster (needs majority), then up to 30 hours of debate before confirmation (also simple majority) — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Schumer moves to discharge Supreme Court nom Jackson from the tied Judiciary Committee. Will be up to four hours of debate, then a roll call vote. Dems need a majority to advance her to the floor — PolitiTweet.org

A little backstory here: Dems thought they were close to getting $1b in global vaccine aid heading into weekend, but say Republicans were divided over it. And they say some in GOP wanted to add Title 42 (!) to the covid bill -- complicating the intl piece https://t.co/R9XbbYaprL — PolitiTweet.org

Confirmed w @ErinBanco : Senators strike $10 billion covid aid, per four sources. Global vaccine money is out, money is reprogrammed from other covid accounts. Senators already have a preliminary CBO score @ddiamond had first — PolitiTweet.org

More endorsement intrigue on GOP side. Cruz is for Eric Schmitt in Missouri and Mandel in Ohio, Hawley is for Hartzler in Missouri and Vance in Ohio They are battling over that right lane in the Senate ahead of 2024 https://t.co/JRxBD5I9zx — PolitiTweet.org

Skeptical about a reconciliation deal? You're not alone 1 Dem who regularly talks to Manchin doubted whether any bill checking his boxes is achievable at this point And here's @cascamike : “I’d love to be wrong, but I’m not holding my breath.” https://t.co/kMwcv0lYvS — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Manchin pretty coy on how serious things are “Really, I can’t give you a reading on it, if there’s anything serious about this. You have chatter, and we talk to everybody. And there’s nothing serious ... after the judge and all that, maybe things will pick up," he says — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

New: Democrats looking for a quick Spring deal with Manchin on reconciliation, they say they won't let things drag out again “You either do it before Memorial Day or you’re not going to do it,” says Sen. Kaine https://t.co/kMwcv0lYvS — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Sen. Blunt on KBJ: 'I don't think she's the kind of judge that will really do the kind of work that I think needs to be done by the Court and I won't be supporting her but I'll be joining others in understanding the importance of this moment.” via ABC's This Week — PolitiTweet.org

There's some talk going on among Durbin/Cornyn/Tillis on immigration reform but there's no reason to be more optimistic at this moment that they'll get a deal — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Manchin reiterated what he said earlier this week: Immigration reform should happen 1st "Until we have comprehensive, bipartisan immigration reform that commits to securing our borders and providing a pathway to citizenship for qualified immigrants, Title 42 must stay in place.” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Sinema and Kelly not happy w/ Biden on Title 42 Sinema: "Today’s decision to announce an end to Title 42 despite not yet having a comprehensive plan ready shows a lack of understanding about the crisis at our border." Kelly: "This is the wrong decision. It’s unacceptable" — PolitiTweet.org

@yfreemark Interesting, thanks. The trains are packed for rush hour but they are all six-car trains and they only come once once every 10 minutes so in D.C. there's room to grow. — PolitiTweet.org
