On call, McConnell sold updated covid bill to GOP. Murkowski, Cassidy + Collins advocated for bipartisan bill. Murkowski said it's "offensive" to struggling folks for Congress to do messaging bills; McConnell said this isn't messaging https://t.co/ztI5mZddCt @heatherscope — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine “I think it’s more about distributing the workload and giving people responsibility and holding them accountable. And by the way that starts with Chuck,” said Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) “He’s the leader, so he’s got to set the example of delegating power" — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine But Durbin says that a wide-ranging caucus debate wasn't Whitehouse's intention as Democrats weigh whether Durbin, the No. 2, should also helm Judiciary "As I understand it, I am the object of his reform. For himself,” Durbin said on Tuesday. — PolitiTweet.org

After months of stalemate, there’s finally a flurry of congressional activity as the coronavirus crisis worsens. But whether that’s enough to get a major relief package approved in December remains to be seen. @heatherscope https://t.co/ztI5mZddCt — PolitiTweet.org

Would Republicans give her a floor vote? Or a hearing? Potential Budget chairman Lindsey Graham: “She had a lot to say. It will be a long hearing. Uphill.” — PolitiTweet.org
