@marianne_levine Manchin spokeswoman on reconciliation talks: He is seeing "if there is a pathway forward to shore up domestic energy production and reduce emissions, lower health care costs for seniors and working families, and ensure everyone is paying their fair share of taxes" — PolitiTweet.org

Senate control makes huge difference: a GOP Senate might treat him differently than Dem. In 2013-2014 GOP Georgia senators cut a deal with Obama to nominate conservative judge Boggs. Harry Reid never gave him a floor vote and he was not renominated https://t.co/z4QVlR2gyd — PolitiTweet.org

Why the parliamentary moves by Schumer on reconciliation's prescription drugs component today? If he can get an agreement with Manchin, Schumer's told caucus they are looking at consideration as early as late July; he's trying to get into position now — PolitiTweet.org

Pocan trying to keep the peace: "If anyone does anything unfair, I call them first, personally. And if they don’t stop doing it, I’ll call them out publicly. I haven’t had to do that yet, the second part." A bit over a month to go in primary. People now really tuning in — PolitiTweet.org

Godlewski said she launched her campaign with abortion-access messaging: “you look at other people in this race, they just decided to talk about it recently.” Nelson: Barnes "represented one of the most Democratic and pro-choice districts in the state. You know, whoop-dee-doo.” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Barnes says Dems should not nominate someone wealthy to take on RonJohn: "People are tired of the millionaire’s club." Lasry responds: "voters are tired of is these career politicians with no record of accomplishment ... just always looking for the next thing to run for" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Warren, AOC Clyburn back Lt. Gov Barnes, who's led for months. But Lasry's spent millions and is catching up. Godlewski trying to argue party needs to nominate a woman. And Nelson running as pure progressive. Dems trying to keep things civil. Might get tougher in coming days — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

New: Democrats need to pick up 2 Senate seats to have any chance of codifying Roe. That makes Wisconsin's chaotic 4-way Democratic primary absolutely crucial. Simply put, Dems need to beat RonJohn to enact agenda Warren: "We need pro-choice fighters" https://t.co/hEoBPMXqkQ — PolitiTweet.org

@ZachMontellaro It's thrilling to watch her wave that knife around as she talks — PolitiTweet.org

Reminded of this Tuberville quote from convo with Trump that afternoon: “I said ‘Mr. President, they just took the vice president out, I’ve got to go,’” https://t.co/9cDAnRCo8T — PolitiTweet.org

Still kinda stunning the House and Senate Democratic leaders didn't/couldn't work this out a year ago when it passed the Senate. Now after passing the gun safety bill, McConnell taking a hard line on the rest of Dem agenda — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

McConnell says it's one or the other. Schumer has complained to Democrats he thought Republicans are slow-walking them on the China competition bill to rattle reconciliation. Democrats could try to put some of the competition bill in reconciliation if Republicans walk away — PolitiTweet.org

@jancisvaynrchuk No, it probably could not be included BUT Dems do have the opportunity to unilaterally provide a lot of money/tax policy to reshape climate policy. Not an apples to apples comparison — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Will be interesting to see how SCOTUS decision affects wrangling over the reconciliation energy package. It's Dems' best opportunity to do something major on climate change -- but it's proved challenging to get a deal with Manchin. Most Dems want to spend hundreds of billions — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a press release you don't see everyday "New Investigation from Senators Warren and Grassley Reveals that Dominant Hearing Aid Manufacturers Mounted 'Astroturf' Campaigns to Undermine Safe, Effective, and Affordable Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Needless to say, this is another reminder of the difficulties of running a 50-50 Senate. Will probably be a few days before we know when Leahy can return, but Dems will almost certainly need his vote to have any hope of passing a reconciliation bill — PolitiTweet.org

"His doctors determined that the best course of action would be to have surgery to repair his hip as soon as possible. He is expected to make a full recovery and begin a healthy course of physical therapy immediately." — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Leahy's office releases this statement: "This morning, Senator Leahy will undergo surgery to repair a broken hip that he suffered as a result from a fall at his house in McLean, Virginia, Wednesday night." Senate out for two weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

“John Wood, the former U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri, Wednesday officially entered the U.S. Senate race in Missouri, adding an independent candidate to an already crowded field of Congressional hopefuls.” https://t.co/PfKRWgUHyL — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Since it's before election, Democrats may ultimately choose not to raise taxes much or at all. Rx reform creates revenues The spending side (mostly energy, possibly ACA subsidies) is the bigger issue down the stretch on this, at least when it comes to Manchin — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

The last comment I believe from Sinema on this was in March. Her spokeswoman said: “Any new, narrow proposal — including deficit reduction — already has enough tax reform options to pay for it.” — PolitiTweet.org

"We all agree, that wasn't right. Let's fix it. Now, you can fix it and do it in a way that keeps us very competitive. And, and not punish anybody from the standpoint and make everybody pay. Whether it be corporations paying a minimum of 15%, people on the high end" — PolitiTweet.org
