Dems already thinking about the possibility of a long summer “You get into a position where the August recess is the de facto deadline,” said Sen. Whitehouse. "But it’s also not unheard of to have staff work, remote work through the August recess and come back with something.” — PolitiTweet.org

“There’s individual conversations happening, I think there will be more in March happening. It’s not the singular focus,” said Sen. Stabenow. “This is definitely part of our work on into the spring.” Sept. 30 is real deadline, practical deadline may be earlier — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin said he’s willing to reengage in negotiations if his fellow Democrats “want to be realistic about what the real problems are and how we can fix the problems. The main thing is getting our financial house in order.” Democrats may decide to meet Manchin on those terms. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin wants the focus of a reconciliation bill to be tax reform/deficit reduction. Everything else goes through committee and is up for debate. “That’s really what reconciliation is for: to get your financial house back in order," he says in interview — PolitiTweet.org

Childs might risk dividing Dems in 50/50 Senate. Warren wouldn’t talk about her: “not going to comment. Nope.” Bernie: “You want somebody who is going to be reflective of the needs of working families and understands that we are moving towards an oligarchy in this country” — PolitiTweet.org

Big endorsement for Childs on SCOTUS from Sen. Brown as some on left try to block her “If she’s chosen, I’ll be enthusiastic,” he said in interview. “I am reassured from Clyburn” Our look at progressive divides on SCOTUS ⁦⁦@lbarronlopez⁩ https://t.co/3SVZbwZLBI — PolitiTweet.org
