One really important part of this is that the unemployment benefits are now expiring at the same time as government funding ( end of Sept.) instead of in the middle of an August recess. https://t.co/YXFNqxkBQF More here with @caitlinzemma @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

News: Senate Democrats have struck a new deal on unemployment insurance benefits, according to Democratic aide. The benefits will now go through September at $300 per week (change from House through August, $400 per week) And now the first $10,200 of UI benefits are non-taxable — PolitiTweet.org

Given the parliamentarian’s ruling this will need 60 votes. Bernie will offer the amendment and GOP will raise a point of order so vote will be whether to rule amendment in order. Until $15 gets stand-alone vote, will be closest test of that proposal’s support in Senate — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Johnson is the only senator in there now besides Warnock, who is presiding. Johnson is walking laps around the Senate floor. He actually went in the cloakroom for a second and I half-expected Schumer to leap out and waive the reading. But Johnson quickly returned. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting new Murkowski comments to @marianne_levine on covid aid: "I can just sit back and say, 'I don’t want to have anything to do with it, it’s a bill that spends too much ... But if it’s going to pass, are there ways that that it can be shaped'?'” https://t.co/FrdU0tNpML — PolitiTweet.org
