Schumer: "Republican obstruction on the debt ceiling has been reckless, irresponsible, but nonetheless today Republicans will have an opportunity to get what they've been asking for ... simply get out of the way and we can agree to skip the filibuster vote" — PolitiTweet.org

@elwasson we could do a Senate movie called "The 25th Hour" — PolitiTweet.org

@brianefallon probably not later in the summer though. would be kind pushing it, midterms wise — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

It's all moot until Manchin/Sinema agree to it, but the idea of an exception JUST for something that's usually a bipartisan vote (raising the debt ceiling) is hard for me to fathom — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

If Democrats make a filibuster carveout for the debt ceiling, they'd probably need to exploit it for other things too to get their money's worth ahead of midterms. Because once they go there, the GOP is likely to capitalize and expand filibuster exception once they retake power. — PolitiTweet.org

“The Bipartisan Policy Center has updated its forecast and now projects that the debt limit “X Date”—when the U.S. will no longer be able to meet all its obligations in full and on time—will most likely arrive between October 19 and November 2” Another debt ceiling vote today — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Looks like Senate vote to advance debt ceiling suspension through the midterms will be around 3 pm tomorrow. Needs 60, and at least 10 Republicans. GOP seems to think all members will oppose. — PolitiTweet.org

Pending a change in Manchin’s position, real news here might be that Biden is agnostic on whether Hyde amendment abortion restrictions included in reconciliation bill — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Just to be clear, Manchin OPPOSES a filibuster carve out. But in the rest of the caucus, the idea of a filibuster carveout is actually more popular that reconciliation at the moment — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

@caitlinzemma Fiscal conservative Braun isn't even ruling out a UC agreement! “When it comes to whether a consent vote would be a tool to do what they could do through reconciliation anyway, a more laborious process, I’d have to give that some thought. Because then it would cut to the chase" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

@caitlinzemma Capito: Republicans shouldn’t make it “an elongated exercise.” Cramer “not interested in throwing up a bunch of roadblocks.” Hawley, “I don’t see any need to prolong this." Schumer still resisting, but GOP may not fight that hard if Dems use reconciliation — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

@caitlinzemma Graham also says he wants Dems "to pick a number" for how high the borrowing limit should go -- that would in theory allow GOP to hit vulnerable Dems more. ' But after that, most Republicans are signaling they'd make things pretty easy on Democrats — PolitiTweet.org

Here's Lindsey Graham's pitch if Dems pursue reconciliation to raise debt ceiling “I mean, I’m not going to be a complete asshole about it. But I’m going to make them take some tough votes" ' Our look at how far GOP wants to take this https://t.co/WGnjSyRzQZ @caitlinzemma — PolitiTweet.org

Listened to this recording a few times because this would be a HUGE deal, and he as far as I can tell, he says "I'm not going to say anything about it" — PolitiTweet.org

Here is what McConnell said to Schumer's request to change the voting threshold to 51 “That would require getting consent from every single Republican to lower the threshold to 51. I can’t imagine getting that." — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Schumer sticking to Rs either giving unanimous consent for up-or-down vote or 10 Rs advancing over filibuster “Reconciliation is a drawn-out convoluted process. We’ve shown the best way to go, we’re moving forward in that direction” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Will the U.S. default? Schumer: “Ask Mitch McConnell. The bottom line is it’s very simple: It’s on his shoulders” He was asked several times if he'd consider gutting filibuster or using reconciliation to lift debt ceiling. He didn't rule anything out, explicitly, today at least — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says he’ll keep the Senate in session until it deals with the debt limit. Recess scheduled for next week — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says “if Republicans get out of the damn way” Dems can raise the debt ceiling on their own. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

McConnell says he hasn’t talked to Biden yet about debt ceiling. He also says he can’t get consent from every single Republican to allow a vote at majority threshold on raising it, and that’s why Dems have to use reconciliation — PolitiTweet.org

Blunt today: “I don’t really see it as a likely outcome that none of our members would object to moving to a vote without [filibustering]. Seems to me it's a fairly academic exercise” — PolitiTweet.org

"Democrats are going to do the responsible thing and vote yes to prevent default. There's still time for Republicans to get out of the way," Schumer says. — PolitiTweet.org
