Forget the two-track approach. It’s not even clear Democrats have a two-chamber approach! “I have no idea what the House is doing,” Manchin says tonight. Hasn’t reviewed or signed off on what House is considering on reconciliation https://t.co/EVIOPVaCLB — PolitiTweet.org

@sarahnferris "Lack of movement simply reinforces the misconception that we’re doing nothing," says Blumenthal Except Manchin says people are "scared to death" of ongoing negotiations "We’re talking about revamping the whole entire tax code. That’s mammoth, totally. We’ve had no hearings" — PolitiTweet.org

Summing up the Dem mood today... “I think the protracted endless negotiations have taken their toll on our party,” Durbin added. “If anything, this is a shot across the bow, fair warning to all of us" @sarahnferris https://t.co/GlmUqSpnXC — PolitiTweet.org

Nice look at Rep. Murphy by @sarahnferris, maybe the most interesting Florida Democrat at the moment "I feel like I have an obligation to reflect the voices of districts that don't look like the majority of our caucus" https://t.co/qpdgbbjOwS — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty clear House Dems didn't run their amendment by Manchin. On paid leave this morning he said "This is the first I’m hearing of it" “I have no idea what’s coming from the House" — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s the wrong place to put it because it’s a social expansion. Right now I’ve said very clearly if it’s a social expansion … let’s get our financial house in order and then be able to tackle all of these” — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of Dems say they need to move faster on reconciliation after electoral setbacks last night. Not Manchin “The message that was really sent: if we’re going to do something let’s take time and do it right” “We have have a difference on agreement” on timing — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Bernie said ask Sinema about her position. RE Manchin: Issue is "whether Sen. Manchin chooses to vote for legislation that will expand childcare, provide universal and free pre-K, build affordable housing ... He’s going to have to vote yes or he’s going to have to vote no" — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine “I don’t know where Kyrsten is. I haven’t heard much from her lately. But I think it’s a question of satisfying Joe about what’s in the bill, what’s in the pay-fors,” said Sen. King. His impression is Sinema is more on board: “The key word is impression, not knowledge.” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

@marianne_levine Why did Manchin do that press conference yesterday? He was bombarded with text messages from House progressives over the weekend. Then Manchin once again reiterated Monday that his party shouldn't count on his vote if the final product doesn't meet his parameters. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Manchin “always negotiates until the end," D senator tells @marianne_levine. "And Sinema -- when she’s close, she’s close. So I think we’re done with Sinema. She’s now in the mode where she feels good about this bill, both bills ... whereas Joe is just a holdout, until he’s not.” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Are they Sinemanch or Manchema? The debate can probably cease. Democrats are sweating Manchin's vote on reconciliation, but most think Sinema is pretty much on board at this point Manchin: "She has her thoughts and we have ours" https://t.co/WsgeJMd077 — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema backs it. Spokesman: “Speaker Pelosi reached out to Senator Sinema this past weekend to continue negotiations. The Senator welcomes a new agreement on a historic, transformative Medicare drug negotiation plan that will reduce out-of-pocket costs for seniors” — PolitiTweet.org
