This is the second big nominee Manchin has come out against (Neera Tanden), and if Raskin could somehow get out of committee Democrats would need Collins or Murkowski to win a floor vote. This nomination is in pretty big trouble now — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin says he opposes Sarah Bloom Raskin for Fed nominee. He advised Sherrod Brown last week to move all the nominees but her — PolitiTweet.org

@AndrewDesiderio Defense funding is way up from Biden's original request. But it was a compromise for McConnell. More than half the Senate GOP voted against the Ukraine/omnibus bill and Republicans also had to go along with Democrats' push to plus up on domestic funding portion of bill — PolitiTweet.org

@AndrewDesiderio “To Chuck’s credit, he said, ‘OK,’” McConnell recalled. “It wasn’t a hard sell.” There is “no good argument for not doing anything and everything we could think of to help them kill as many Russians as they possibly can," McConnell says. — PolitiTweet.org

News: McConnell called Schumer this week to ask him to double a defense fund for Ukraine from $1.5 billion to $3 billion Our look at how as Russia attacked, Congress more than doubled Ukraine aid in the government funding bill to $14B @AndrewDesiderio https://t.co/opL40MaL5q — PolitiTweet.org

Final roll call on the omni was 68-31. Ukraine aid wasn't enough to deliver bulk of Senate Rs. Among the Republicans that voted no were Foreign Relations ranking member Risch, Intel ranking member Rubio (Inhofe missed voted) https://t.co/TH0DxBusVS — PolitiTweet.org

Senate locks in votes to pass $1.5 trillion spending bill. Should pass around 930-10 or so following several GOP amendment votes — PolitiTweet.org

Magic starting to happen: After predicting there was little chance of omnibus passing today, Kennedy says he now thinks it will. Coincidentally, he was also told he will get his amendment vote — PolitiTweet.org

Damn, Tester is kind of pissed. "The House is not in session! ... that's not how the process works Sen. Scott! That's not how this works" "The good senator from Florida is blocking this bill or we'd be voting on it right now" — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott asks to vote on Ukraine aid, Angry Jon Tester says this would cause a shut down "This is really, really, really a bad idea," Tester says. Tester objects Scott responds: "It's hard to express my anger and frustration. What the hell are we doing here?" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Conservative Republicans on Senate floor demanding Ukraine aid be separated from omnibus, arguing it would be quicker to Biden's desk. Of course, this would require the House coming back in session to pass standalone Ukraine aid, so it's a debatable point — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s the same thing that happens: Schumer and McConnell and Pelosi and McCarthy sit down and slap something together and tell us to take it or leave it ... we’ve seen this repeatedly. It’s like ‘Halloween 15.’” https://t.co/CUA0Kqo93e — PolitiTweet.org
