"I'm not willing to allow a CR to go through until I know what’s actually in the package ... “It’s beginning to reach the point of absurdity. It’s time for leadership to put on the table what they’ve got, it’s time for them to brief members on what they’ve got." — PolitiTweet.org

@MEPFuller My only comment here is that the fine print of the current deal has been so difficult to nail down that the pre-election negotiations strike me as a lot further apart than perhaps previously thought — PolitiTweet.org

Clarification: Toomey has pushed similar language previously but not exactly the same. Dems argue this far more restrictive because would prevent new emergency lending facilities similar to CARES Act from being established — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

While this has become a sticking point, not a new ask by Toomey and was in previous versions of GOP bills R aide: D comments are "funny when you consider not 9 months ago, these facilities constituted a slush fund for Republicans to enrich their billionaire friends." — PolitiTweet.org

"The Toomey provision would be an unprecedented change to the law to strip the Fed chair of one of their most important tools to quickly respond to any future economic crisis." This is about winding down Fed's emergency lending ... not a great sign right now — PolitiTweet.org

Dems claiming Toomey blowing up talks Dem aide: "An agreement was in sight to deliver aid to the American people until Sen. Toomey and Republicans inserted an 11th hour purely political, unrelated provision to tie Biden’s hands and risk throwing the economy into a tailspin ... — PolitiTweet.org

Still lots of unresolved issues on covid tonight: checks, Fed lending, Save our stages, health fund, FEMA. Could a deal come tonight? Maybe, but House now considering short-term funding options to avoid shutdown. Could be tricky in Senate https://t.co/J5HCYMlgSQ — PolitiTweet.org
