Word this am that Pelosi & Mnuchin met for 90 min yest @ a new CR deal, McConnell still saying too high but Mnuchin & WH & NP want something, so they'll meet again this am.
If nothing Dems will put new deal on floor, pass it & walk.
Dems want this new lower $2.2T deal
Incl $ for Stim, States & Schools, expanded u/e & more SNAP
McConnell won't budge far past his original $1T
So they're far away
Trump doesn't care @ details-just wants to send $ to voters now
It doesn't look good
But Meadows could force it
McConnell is said to be refusing to put a bill on Senate floor that exceeds his $1T by much, & doesn't have full GOP support bc GOP are 'tired of spending'
He's saying they're 'very far apart' & won't nec respond to WH pressure at this point
We'll see ..
If this comes together it'll be another week before we see any real movement re passing it
Am hearing if Pelosi sees a deal gelling she'll jump at it & make it happen
Otherwise, she'll pass hers & nothing else will be done til after 11/3
This is squarely on the GOP
Senate have passed a $1.4T gov't spending bill to keep Fed'l doors open as of midnight last night & word is that's all McConnell's concerned with
His heart isn't in giving Americans more relief
This, as Airlines begin laying off tens of thousands more today
Mitch. Doesn't. Care.

Now that Kevin McCarthy has said he'll push the contested House committee leadership elections until after the Speakers vote on 1/3

Here, from Politico, is a little bit of what the (serious) fallout will be for the 118th Congress: 👇
“days, if not weeks, of uncertainty for GOP committees as they begin their stint in the majority. Some of the most important panels, including those charged with tax-writing and border security, won’t be able to prepare bills, tee up hearings, or even hire staff. 👇
"While some House committees already have uncontested leaders in place, those chairs won’t be able to choose their member lineup or potentially pay staff. The GOP’s subpoena power, too, will be frozen.”
Kevin McCarthy will not be one of the great Speakers of our (or any) time 👇

And Dems have a new House Minority Leader!
Hakeem Jeffries
Last night he said:
"Leadership is incredibly important. When we get an opportunity as diverse leaders to serve in positions of consequence, the most meaningful thing we can do in that space is do an incredibly good job."
Hakeem Jeffries on the House GOP:
"Moving forward, it’s my hope that House Democrats can find common ground with Republicans to get things done that would make life better for everyday Americans whenever possible. We are also prepared to oppose their extremism when we must.."
Hakeem Jeffries on Trumpism:
"We're still working through the implications of Trumpism, and what it has meant as a very destabilizing work for American democracy... In my view, hopefully House Republicans will govern in a way where we may be able to agree to disagree on issues

Manchin & Schumer made a 'deal' to include a "permitting" bill in the CR when Manchin helped pass the IRA
So far Manchin hasn't released the text
Hearing today that he won't do so until after the CR plan is made public next wk
Says he needs 20 GOP to counter Dem opposition
👇
Also hearing Manchin is pressuring the GOP WV Senator Shelley Moore-Capito to whip GOP support on it
But no one understands Manchin's bill
Not even Moore-Capito
Her remarks 👇
“Now the onus is on me to provide support for something I had no hand in and still don’t know what it is? What if I [said]‘Hey, you know, support this, it’s really good.’ Well, they go ‘What is it?’ And I go, ‘Well, I don’t know. Trust me.’ ..you just can’t operate like that.”

How badly does Rick Scott want to be SML?
Guess we'll see
Per @PunchbowlNews
Now that the NRSC (which Scott chairs) coffers are dry
GOP Senate want him to cough up a portion of the $1.4M in his own reelect fund
(Senate-2025, but the pres run in 24..)
He's dodging
This is fun!
.@PunchbowlNews :
"Key GOP senators are now willing to say it publicly. If Scott wants to revive Republican prospects in 2022, he can do what he always does to win — use his personal fortune to close the yawning cash gap between the GOP and Senate Democrats
👇
"'Interesting idea,' Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told us Wednesday, when asked if Scott should cut a check to benefit the NRSC.

Biden gave 2 more spectacular, high energy speeches yesterday
During the Milwaukee speech I kept thinking about how Trump kept saying Biden was "hiding in his basement" bc he was "sleepy"
Trump should be grateful Biden wasn't out there
And I'm grateful he is now
He's GOOD AT IT!
PA: “[D]emocracy is really at stake. You can’t be a democracy when you support violence when you don’t like the outcome of an election. You can’t call yourself a democracy when you don’t, in fact, count the votes that people legitimately cast. …
"And so, folks, look, we have a choice. Trump and the MAGA Republicans made their choice. We can choose to build a better America, or we can continue down this sliding path of oblivion to where we don’t want to go.”

Why Trump will almost certainly declare his 2024 candidacy on 11/9:
🧵
Per Bloomberg sources 'familiar":
DOJ “likely to wait until after [11/8] to announce any charges against Trump"
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“Under long-standing department policy, prosecutors are barred from taking investigative steps or filing charges for the purpose of affecting an election or helping a candidate or party, traditionally 60 days before an election. This year, that would be by Sept. 10.”
BUT: "To be sure, the department has ignored that policy in recent years with moves interpreted as political interference. Most notable was when former FBI Dir James Comey revealed that the FBI was reopening a probe into Democrat Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server j
