If you're trying to find out where covid negotiations stand, have I got a McConnell quote for you. Asked if they're closer tonight than they were this morning "We've been closer for a while now. And we still are" — PolitiTweet.org

The way we got the Rand 2018 shutdown is that everyone began taking the possibility of a last-minute objection less and less seriously as people kept backing down. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if this hurts his potential re-election bid, he replied: “I’ve said I’d never vote with my re-election in mind. I’m concerned about mortgaging our kids' future. Listen to my speech" — PolitiTweet.org

RonJohn: "I'm not heartless, I want to help people" "I also am concerned about our children's future. And the fact we are mortgaging it" — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, $1,200 checks were never going to be approved by unanimous consent today. But it's an...interesting decision by Sen. Ron Johnson to be the face of stopping them by twice blocking Hawley/Bernie's push while he considers whether to run for reelection. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

RonJohn says Bernie told a "lie" by saying Republicans have done nothing. So, again, things are going well — PolitiTweet.org

1 of 100 senators now has ability to shut down government. Hawley basically said he needed a detailed briefing on the deal and it needs to have significant direct payments to allow this to go through — PolitiTweet.org

Shout out to @benweyl and David Kihara, our editors who have been updating rolling congressional calamity stories from me and @heatherscope for about 100 hours straight — PolitiTweet.org

Pass a CR tonight to avoid shutdown? “That could prove to be a pretty heavy lift....there are members on both sides who are resistant to the idea of doing another CR. but if there’s good progress on the deal ... hopefully the Christmas spirit will kick in” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Get a deal today? Thune: “That would be a triumph of hope over experience to get that today. It’d be a best case scenario. Best case scenario of getting something voted on was probably going to be Sunday but it may be later” — PolitiTweet.org

Downbeat vibes at 2:45 pm. Majority Whip Thune after meeting with McConnell says it’ll be hard to announce a deal today on stimulus and a heavy lift to fund the government past midnight since any one senator can object and some want short shutdown to force action — PolitiTweet.org
