Would Mo Brooks support McConnell as GOP leader? “I will support the candidate for Senate majority leader who is the most conservative” Could that be McConnell? "If he's the most conservative. There are some that he's more conservative than, and some not” https://t.co/5X46lUIH7i — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says the fact that the Senate is not moving forward on the defense bill “falls on the shoulders of one senator, Marco Rubio.” Says Rubio is the lone impediment to holding a bunch of amendment votes and asks Rs to try and convince him to back off — PolitiTweet.org

As his party went back and forth over the shutdown fight on vaccines , McConnell said nothing, according to Sen. Kennedy. “Mitch did not say a word. He ate his chicken, he ate two pieces” — PolitiTweet.org

Oh boy. Sen. Blunt says there is “not full agreement, that’s for sure” on how Republicans will handle the government funding issue and the push to defund the vaccine mandates. Friday deadline — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz are aligning themselves with Marshall and Lee pushing things to the brink. But Tuberville and Lummis show it’s not all conservatives on board w that strategy Lummis: “My gut tells me, let leadership do the best they can and trust them.” — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans feud over vaccine shutdown fight “We don’t need to shut the government down. And we’re not going to have to do that. It’s just all talk,” Tuberville said in an interview. “Federal judges now have knocked down the mandates.” https://t.co/sz2Wm4RFRy — PolitiTweet.org

“I’m not for defunding,” Tuberville says. “We don’t need to shut the government down. And we’re not going to do that. It’s just all talk” Ron Johnson however says says he supports Marshall and Lee’s plan to hold out — PolitiTweet.org

Idea of trying to defund Biden’s vaccine mandate through a government funding bill getting poor reviews from some Republicans Cramer: “I just don’t quite understand the strategy or the play of leverage for a mandate that’s been stayed by 10 courts” — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans most interested in issue have no plans to back a mandatory paid leave program. Collins wants to start in committee, Fischer wants Biden to embrace her paid leave portion of tax law Ernst: “some who say it needs to be universal and I just don’t see that happening” — PolitiTweet.org

“I’ve urged Sen. Manchin that there are many things that we can do on a bipartisan basis. But they do not include a universal earned benefit,” said Gillibrand Murray: “I don’t know where the miracle is that … there’s going to be some bipartisan paid leave program.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dems' paid leave push faces last stand. Manchin wants to take out of reconciliation and do it bipartisan But there’s a big issue. Rs aren’t close to backing a universal benefit, which makes reconciliation only option to most Ds ⁦@eleanor_mueller⁩ https://t.co/WrcUHMGTxo — PolitiTweet.org
