Capito-led Republican infrastructure group probably won’t be coming up anymore on the top line spending number, per Republican senator — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
One note here is that Schumer voted to advance the Jan. 6 bill, instead of voting no (which would allow him to bring it up more quickly). That means he would have to file cloture again to bring it up a second time, so it would take a couple days to set up the vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says new Senate reports on Jan. 6 insurrection makes bipartisan commission even more necessary. He also shouts out changes made by Sen. Collins "I reserve the right to bring legislation for an independent bipartisan commission to the Senate floor for another vote" — PolitiTweet.org

Paycheck Fairness Act will get its first standalone vote in 7 years on the Senate floor later today. No Republicans supported it in 2014 and Sen. Angus King (I) voted against it then but he supports current version https://t.co/R2LKBpKCSu — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin has a chance to find 10 votes on infrastructure and voting rights. “at some point anyone who is defending the 60-vote threshold has an obligation to help the body to get to 60 votes,” Schatz says. “There’s just literally no evidence that it’s going to happen.” — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Merkley and Warnock have been among strongest advocates of S1 and voting rights. Both held their fire on Manchin “No, I’m not frustrated with my colleague. We’ve got to find a way to pass voting rights. I think he understands that,” Warnock said — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Senate Dems holding fire on Manchin publicly, but angst rising behind the scenes “Of course I’m frustrated. Who isn’t frustrated?” said one Senate Democrat. “Do you want to see the patches where I pulled my hair out?” @marianne_levine https://t.co/IyCDXi5QlJ — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, Sen. Gillibrand once against asking for Senate to take up military sexual assault reform. Once again, Sen. Reed objects, wants to handle it in committee. — PolitiTweet.org

“I think that Joe Manchin understands that this is a defining moment in American history and that our children are going to judge us, grandchildren are going to judge us based on what we do right now to preserve them or democracy” — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Warnock says he spoke to Manchin last night, right after Manchin officially came out against S1. “I remain hopeful,” he says of eventually getting Manchin onboard — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Majority Whip Durbin talking more urgently as bipartisan infrastructure talks flail: “The president has been very patient. And at this point if we can’t reach an agreement we ought to consider alternatives” Has it reached that point? “In my mind it has." — PolitiTweet.org

@Fritschner Tell the reporter you prefer that they should go quick, you are "hearing footsteps" — PolitiTweet.org

Some difference on these issues, regarding whip count. Paycheck Fairness Act has 50 Democratic votes, S1 does not (Manchin opposes) — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
McConnell says Schumer's June agenda "is transparently designed to fail." He says Schumer's votes this month that Republicans will block, like Paycheck Fairness and S1, are intended to convince Dems to gut the filibuster — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says the Senate will also "swiftly and consistently" fill about 80 judicial vacancies in the coming months. First judicial confirmations of Biden's presidency coming this week, starting with cloture vote tonight on Neals to be District judge in NJ — PolitiTweet.org

The word “frank” was used earlier this week to describe their Wednesday conversation. Senate GOP panning every tax idea Biden throws out there. When things are going OK you’ll see words like “productive” or “good meeting” — PolitiTweet.org

They are going to speak again on Monday but this is not a particularly upbeat read out, particularly as Biden also spoke to DeFazio today and the House Dems are moving an a much more aggressive track than Capito — PolitiTweet.org

Reviews coming in from Republicans, they see Biden’s infrastructure suggestions as tax hikes they won’t support. Dems see GOP as refusing to come up enough on $. Things again at an impasse ahead of Biden-Capito meeting tomorrow W @samstein https://t.co/IsWzOrtKe3 — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
What's more, Biden is still targeting parts of Trump tax cuts law as pay-for. He hasn't backed off that entirely, even as he shows some flexibility as first reported by @seungminkim and @TonyRomm — PolitiTweet.org
