On the bright side for Dems, Manchin hates McConnell's power play on USICA “That’s as bad as the hardcore progressives on the House side did with infrastructure." And while Schumer is constrained physically from being in Capitol he's working relentlessly behind the scenes — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin says he and Schumer have to talk more "We understand each other well enough.” Manchin says of Schumer. “He knows exactly where I’m at. Now whether they can get there or whatever, we’ll see.” They've been talking a lot -- secret agreement was almost a year ago — PolitiTweet.org

New: Schumer trying to keep Manchin in the fold from Brooklyn on reconciliation. But Manchin not committed yet “if I’m just doing something on one party line or the other party line, I’m not better than the rest.” Floats idea of bipartisan Rx reform https://t.co/6d0MuxuJTr — PolitiTweet.org

The Hutchinson testimony came during a recess. But it’s not something all Republicans are ignoring (though plenty are) “She’s honestly testifying as to what she saw. I don’t know her. And I think she painted the picture of a pretty chaotic situation,” Sen. Capito said — PolitiTweet.org
