“radioactive,” as Sen. Cornyn put jt “I really am a little surprised, particularly on the OMB nominee that there hadn't been at least some consultation. I mean some of these problems can be avoided. And people, you know, saved from the embarrassment.” — PolitiTweet.org

The easiest way for Neera Tanden to win confirmation as Joe Biden’s budget director is for Democrats to take the Senate in January. Otherwise, she faces a perilous path to winning a majority vote in the chamber. @caitlinzemma @theodoricmeyer https://t.co/phUUbFZUDu — PolitiTweet.org

Per pool, Cornyn says Tanden is “maybe the worst nominee so far” — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says Republicans are "grasping at straws" in taking on Neera Tanden over her tweets — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says Senate should immediately start Biden's Cabinet confirmation hearings after the Georgia runoffs. That would allow some of Biden's nominees to be confirmed on Jan. 20 (though perhaps not that many. Just one senator can slow it all down) — PolitiTweet.org

There are two Fed nominees. Shelton has drawn GOP opposition from three senators, Waller has not. The last day for Shelton to be confirmed is probably tomorrow, because Kelly is being sworn in on Wednesday. — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell says Pelosi spent much of the year "gambling with the health and welfare" of Americans. They sound very close to a deal! — PolitiTweet.org

Warner went on MSNBC after this story "Both sides are going to have to compromise. The Democrats aren't going to get what they want with their $2 trillion plan, and clearly the so-called skinny plan that Leader McConnell put out is not nearly enough to provide a bridge" — PolitiTweet.org

In a sign of just how informal this is, there's some disagreement over who is in group and how many groups there are. My list of people talking at the moment: Cassidy, Shaheen, Coons, Manchin, Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Warner, Portman, Bennet, Durbin — PolitiTweet.org

Wow and right after we published Whitehouse put out a statement: “In the wake of Ranking Member Feinstein’s announcement, I look forward to the question of succession on the Senate Judiciary Committee being decided by the caucus. I will abide by the caucus’s decision.” — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine @fshakir @AdamGreen Republicans have stricter rules/term limits. Will Dems look at their rules? “There needs to be a discussion,” said Sen. Murray “We have a lot of great talent in our caucus and voices that need to be heard and used in leadership so we can be as effective as possible.” — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine @fshakir .@AdamGreen of PCCC said "Sheldon Whitehouse is one of the most strategic and savvy fighters in the Democratic Caucus. Dick Durbin has a big job as Senate Whip, and we assume he would be thrilled for someone as good as Senator Whitehouse to play a leading role in Judiciary" — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine .@fshakir, former Bernie campaign manager says: “Nothing personal against Durbin, but with Feinstein stepping down, I think there’s a need for some new blood and new style and approaches. Sen. Whitehouse could breathe some new energy into the committee,” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Durbin didn't become Dem leader. But he's poised to become key player in Biden presidency as whip while leading the Dems on Judiciary. Some think it's too much for one member to do, and liberals pushing for Whitehouse instead https://t.co/1fQ63vOnXx @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

Dem whip Durbin makes it official: “I intend to seek the top Democratic position on the Judiciary Committee in the 117th Congress. I have served on the Committee for 22 years, and I am its most senior member who does not currently serve atop another Senate Committee.” — PolitiTweet.org
