Senate Finance Chairman Wyden: “The package outlined by 10 Senate Republicans is far too small to provide the relief the American people need. In particular, a three-month extension of jobless benefits is a non-starter." — PolitiTweet.org

Here's how Sen. Young's office is framing the GOP's $618 billion counterproposal on coronavirus relief: "Young, Republican Senators Announce Proposal to Rein in Biden $1.9 Trillion Plan" — PolitiTweet.org

here's the framework: https://t.co/TyCDoTTz3v If this is a starting point for negotiations, most Democrats think it's way too low. Big omission is state and local funding. Schumer can't take that, obviously. But Republicans are happy they got a meeting with Biden — PolitiTweet.org

GOP releases $618B counterproposal to Biden's $1.9T plan. $160B vaccines, $1000 direct checks phasing out at $100K per couple ($500 for dependents/child), and $300 UI payments extended til July. Meeting with Biden and 10 R senators this afternoon https://t.co/tb1CUyraGL — PolitiTweet.org

No real indication here that Democrats are changing how they see the covid package Psaki calls Biden's $1.9T plan "badly needed" "The need for action is urgent, and the scale of what must be done is large," she says. Notably, Biden also spoke to Schumer and Pelosi today — PolitiTweet.org

White House press secretary Psaki after Biden received letter from 10 GOP senators on covid relief: “the President spoke to Senator Collins, and invited her and other signers of the letter to come to the White House early this week for a full exchange of views.” — PolitiTweet.org

Full story on GOP's last-ditch effort to get Biden and Dems to turn away from reconciliation and toward a bipartisan covid bill. But they are proposing about 1/3 of Biden's $1.9T, and we haven't heard a single Dem talk about making the package that small https://t.co/hziIwtSaTc — PolitiTweet.org

So how long will this take? Who knows. Ethics' last action about a senator was in 2018, its last press release was about Al Franken in 2017 Durbin said he expected the investigation “to take a long time. Let’s be honest about it, it’s a very serious matter." — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Why Ethics? Because it doesn't appear censure has any legs and GOP not into punishing their members for the electoral objections. Rs don't like Ethics complaint either Thune: “draconian for the other side to try and take that action given senators’ First Amendment rights." — PolitiTweet.org

7 Dems argue Cruz and Hawley ‘lent legitimacy” to the cause of those who invaded Capitol. Hawley fired back with a counter complaint alleging “improper conduct” for partisan gain. Asked about Hawley’s counter-complaint, Sen. Smith pointed at her face: "You see my eye rolling?" — PolitiTweet.org

The probe into whether the two senators played a role in inciting the violent Capitol attack will unwind over an interminable timetable with little hint of where it is going. “Neither of us are going to talk about it at all,” said Lankford, vice chair. Coons is chairman — PolitiTweet.org

@lbarronlopez @marianne_levine The bipartisan group was a major player in December, and was set up to be one this year ... if Rs kept the Senate. But they didn't, and Dems don't necessarily need them right now. Schumer says if Rs oppose, "we will move forward without them" — PolitiTweet.org

@lbarronlopez @marianne_levine But: Republicans used reconciliation twice. And it's pretty clear Biden's plan has absolutely no chance of getting (any?) Republican support. Romney: “I don’t think there’s a single Republican who would vote for the $1.9 trillion bill" So that's driving Dems to reconciliation — PolitiTweet.org
