10 Republicans support it. So does Schumer: "Once the text of this agreement is finalized, I will put this bill on the floor as soon as possible so that the Senate can act quickly to advance gun-safety legislation." — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Announcement expected imminently today. The text will matter and take awhile, remember how long infrastructure took to translate from framework to bill? Not what Dem majority would have written, but this could be most significant gun deal in decades — PolitiTweet.org

Senators strike gun framework . No text yet, but big breakthrough nonetheless - Enhanced background checks for 21 and under (juvenile record) - Grants for red flag laws - Mental health/school safety $ - Closes "boyfriend loophole" https://t.co/BVjLpqk3bA @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

Current universe of proposa is -Expanding mental health programs -Bolstering school safety -Grants for state red flag laws -Enhanced background checks for people 20/21 and under, looking into juvenile criminal record and possible waiting period (this is the trickiest) — PolitiTweet.org

Rising optimism on narrow gun safety deal and some talk of trying to announce a framework this weekend, possibly even today. Nothing is final though, per multiple sources, and the details matter to both parties. So, we wait W @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

Rand said he thought examining juvenile criminal records is "reasonable." Hawley and Daines don't like red flags but seemed open on enhanced background check “If a 17-year-old, soon-to-be 18-year old, commits a felony .... that should be part of the record," Daines said — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

But what's interesting is that conservative senators aren't trying to derail the talks themselves. Rand and Kennedy said "wait and see," Marshall said “gonna keep listening.” It appears at the moment there's more angst about red flags on right than juvenile record checks — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Tuberville: Republicans have “got to keep the integrity of the Constitution, but we all understand the significance of what happened. And what will happen again.” Ultimately, many on right likely to vote no. One Senate R said the universe of yes votes is 15-25 GOP senators — PolitiTweet.org

Surprise: Conservatives are laying off Cornyn/Murphy gun talks, per interviews with Rs. Sen. Braun: "I’m a gun owner and I use them a lot. And I think it hurts the Second Amendment over time if you don’t do the stuff [that] makes sense" https://t.co/aDqiWeLlj0 @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

With support from Tester, Manchin and King, Senate will almost certainly confirm Dettelbach to ATF, second confirmed director of all time. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Let's say there is a framework: Getting it on the floor and passed before the recess seems unlikely. They need to write text, people are going to want amendment votes. Schumer could also cancel part of recess if things are going in a positive direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Scheduling note as Senate goes home for the weekend and tries negotiating gun deal. There are *probably* 7 or so days left in session this month. There's next week and the week after, which is shorter due to Juneteenth holiday. Then a two-week recess. — PolitiTweet.org

No deal yet. But they are still talking, which at this point is notable — PolitiTweet.org
