Pelosi sticks to For the People Act: "H.R. 1 protects us in the current elections and must pass now. H.R. 4 is the foundation for future elections and must be passed in a way that is constitutionally ironclad. Any premature passage could be very damaging to its success." — PolitiTweet.org

I asked GIllibrand if she wants Schumer to intervene in Reed blocking a quick vote on military sexual assault reform. She said no, she wants Biden to call Reed and get him to back off https://t.co/v19h1SDzM3 — PolitiTweet.org

If Dems lose Senate, Republicans probably wouldn't fill SCOTUS seat during election McConnell: "If you have a Senate of the opposite party of the president, you have to go back to the 1880s to find the last time a vacancy was filled ... highly unlikely" https://t.co/B4cQ1hdM69 — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell on infrastructure prospects: "50-50. Look, both sides would like to get an infrastructure bill. Here are the red lines on our side. We’re not going to reopen the 2017 tax bill ... we just flooded the country with an enormous amount of money." https://t.co/B4cQ1hdM69 — PolitiTweet.org

Heinrich said Schumer is “engaging when he needs to engage to get to the next level. But not micromanaging every little piece ... that’s what builds buy-in, especially from the members that are closer to the edge of our caucus.” Manchin praises Schumer; Bernie didn't comment — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer's style vastly different than Reid (tighter grip) and McConnell (more pursuit of judges vs. messy legislation). But that's partially the reality of the 50-50 Senate, and also reflects Schumer's leadership style of letting things play out among his members — PolitiTweet.org

“America needs big, bold change and I’m doing everything I can to make that happen,” Schumer said in a brief interview. Should he get tough? "Unity brings us strength and success. That’s what’s worked every time on every tough challenge in the past. And it’s going to continue" — PolitiTweet.org

"He has no margin to work with. And an implacable and amoral opponent in" Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “There’s nobody that I can think of who could do it better than he does,” Whitehouse added. “But that doesn’t mean that it’s easy. And it doesn’t mean it’s easy on him.” — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer at crucial crossroads. D caucus divided on infrastructure/spending/climate, voting rights and two Democrats fighting it out on the floor over military sexual assault "Poor Chuck," lamented Whitehouse. "He's got the weight of the world on him" https://t.co/RMTQjHRPso — PolitiTweet.org

Really nice lede anecdote here from @tripgabriel on Joe Manchin. "Mr. Manchin reminded Mr. Moore that he had worked for his opponent ... Mr. Moore said: 'I took an oath of office that I would represent everybody'" A fresh look at a well-covered figure https://t.co/QuoW4IB6Ib — PolitiTweet.org

My kind of insight from @sarahnferris "One congressional aide compared the Problem Solvers Caucus to Washington’s cicada season: 'They pop up every 17 weeks with a bill, but really they're just part of nature and you should just ignore their noise.'" https://t.co/jGuGpDSDH0 — PolitiTweet.org

One obvious problem here is that Democrats like Sherrod, and Biden per @samjmintz, don’t like the gas tax proposal. Another is this is $400b short of Biden’s $1t request for new spending that he asked Capito for. But it’s closer — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

No details in joint statement, but here’s Infra proposal, per latest reporting $579b in new spending, total either $973b over 5 years or $1.2t over 8 No tax increases per se but index gas tax to inflation + uses unspent covid money https://t.co/UzD3o43TmJ @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org
