Senate hotlining 16 amendments right now, which would take I dunno, 6+ hours to vote on. And a bunch of Republicans are leaving on a 7 a.m. flight to Wyoming and coming back tomorrow evening from Enzi's funeral. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin to Powell: "I am deeply concerned that the continuing stimulus put forth by the Fed, and proposal for additional fiscal stimulus, will lead to our economy overheating and to unavoidable inflation taxes that hard working Americans cannot afford." https://t.co/ZMi7ZbGSEK — PolitiTweet.org

Menendez says he's not letting this gang negotiate anything else, says he has no intention "of supporting legislation that comes through this process again and that ultimately do not have that diversity of geography, of ethnicity, of race" — PolitiTweet.org

Portman/Sinema defend crummy CBO score we all knew was coming "New spending under the bill is offset through a combination of new revenue and savings, some of which is reflected in the formal CBO score and some of which is reflected in other savings and additional revenue" — PolitiTweet.org

@seungminkim sorry, I saw there were no sirens and couldn't read your tweet — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know anyone that thought the CBO score was going to show the bipartisan infra bill was completely paid for, so it seems unlikely to affect the whip count in the end — PolitiTweet.org

Besides reconciliation, there's another way Dems can raise the debt ceiling without GOP votes: No one on R side filibusters. Republicans were considering not filibustering in 2014 but Cruz asked for 60 https://t.co/EbyyxsCLvI — PolitiTweet.org

I'd say the prospects for finishing infra bill tonight are dropping slightly. Some Republicans, including Sen. Joni Ernst, still want a vote on amendments. Still possible, and it's not the magic hour yet https://t.co/seMwC07HBF — PolitiTweet.org

“I think it’s more reasonable to think it will be Saturday,” Capito says just now. There’s a little less pressure to finish infra today since senators know they have to come back Saturday anyway — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

There’s a real effort to try and finish the infrastructure bill tonight (real enough that Sen. Mike Lee is involved) but would require agreement of all 100 senators. This would make budget start on Saturday. All still being discussed https://t.co/j554MAaAxx — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cornyn says it’s possible Senate vote on infrastructure bill today but lots of hurdles to do so. Need consent of all 100 senators and a CBO score — PolitiTweet.org

Romney: “Democrats would be wise to raise the debt limit in reconciliation and not expect Republicans to do it for them. They're the ones asking for $3.5 trillion in new spending, they're the ones that ought to raise the debt limit to fund it and not expect us to.“ — PolitiTweet.org
