Approps Chair Leahy on Cap police funding: "Capitol Police projects they will deplete salaries funds sometime in August, and they already exceeded their projected overtime because of activities resulting from January 6th ... it will be a security crisis of our own making." — PolitiTweet.org

@sarahnferris On budget side, liberals still pushing for $6 trillion but moderates resisting. Kaine suggested $4T as compromise, but will depend on Sinema and Manchin too. Will be huge number Yarmuth: “Add the two plans together, it would be the biggest bill in the history of the country" — PolitiTweet.org

@sarahnferris “We are really working hard to try to get something that can get to the floor in the next couple of weeks,” said Sen. Hassan, one of 20+ senators working on bipartisan bill. “But I don't want to be too specific. Because in my experience, deadlines always slip a little bit.” — PolitiTweet.org

@sarahnferris “It will be used as a way for us to get the job done, the threat of losing August recess when we can go home,” Duckworth said. “Maybe that will be used as a carrot on the end of a very big stick.” Dems haven't settled on a budget number yet, nor has bipartisan bill been drafted — PolitiTweet.org

New: Schumer to warn Senate Dems of possible nights, weekend work and even cutting into August recess in order for Dems to finish work on bipartisan infrastructure and budget resolution (setting up reconciliation). Lots of decisions unmade @sarahnferris https://t.co/AkIjw1UPWu — PolitiTweet.org

Conservatives, including Norquist, want congressional Rs to change up strategy on bipartisan infra bill and demand -Keystone -All paid for w/ covid aid $ - no additional IRS enforcement money (a key pay-for) - no money for "green new deal" projects https://t.co/kwK9lP1Xsh — PolitiTweet.org

Debt ceiling suspension expires on Aug. 1 -- and no one knows when it will have to be raised! Bipartisan Policy Center says estimating the date is "more difficult than past instances, due to the high uncertainty" of economic recovery and covid aid money going out — PolitiTweet.org

“If Herschel is going to run, I’m going to support him. And so is President Trump,” Carter said. He added, “I’m not interested in political suicide. I ain’t gonna run against Herschel Walker in the state of Georgia. I was born at night, but it wasn’t last night.” — PolitiTweet.org

@lbarronlopez This timetable would be without any hitches, and there are likely to be plenty. But it reflects Schumer's desire to finish the bipartisan deal (if there is one to vote on) and the budget resolution setting up reconciliation before breaking for August break — PolitiTweet.org

@lbarronlopez Bipartisan group trying to finish drafting by early next week, a herculean task. Group now in sub-groups writing the legislation This all has to move with the reconciliation bill. Senate Budget Dems trying to come up with their spending number + priorities by end of this week — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Bipartisan infrastructure bill could come to the Senate floor as soon as two weeks from now, WH officials tell Dems today. Senate and House aides see that as ambitious and optimistic, but make no mistake there is a race to get this done @lbarronlopez https://t.co/Gfyimqwlw2 — PolitiTweet.org

All good news must come with an ominous warning, however Police will "monitor intelligence information and the associated threat environment. The Architect of the Capitol has the ability to and will expeditiously reinstall the temporary fencing should conditions warrant" — PolitiTweet.org

"Such a process will allow us to develop a package that can garner the support necessary to pass on the Senate floor ... We hope you will view this letter for what it is: an open offer to find a permanent solution for DACA enrolled recipients." https://t.co/3SajWHAq1m — PolitiTweet.org

@EricSchultz @samstein It's a top-four jungle primary with a ranked choice general so I think the idea is there will be two Republicans in the general and they will support her. No sign she'd run as an Independent; @marianne_levine asked her this question — PolitiTweet.org
