NEW in @PunchbowlNews Midday

An America First Caucus is recruiting lawmakers calling for "common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and a return to architectural style that “befits the progeny of European architecture.”

@PunchbowlNews @mtgreenee @RepGosar At @PunchbowlNews — we’ve been covering the hill a long time. this is some of the most nativist stuff we’ve seen

→ Under the “Immigration” section: “America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions"
→ Under the “Infrastructure” section: “The America First Caucus will work towards an infrastructure that reflects the architectural, engineering and aesthetic value that befits the progeny of European architecture …
whereby public infrastructure must be utilitarian as well as stunningly, classically beautiful, befitting a world power and source of freedom.”
→ In the “Education” section: “[O]ur education has worked to actively undermine pride in America’s great history and is actively hostile to the civic and cultural assimilation necessary for a strong nation.”

A @PunchbowlNews special report this morning 100 days after the insurrection.

We noticed a trend: Lawmakers who have spoken out against Trump are spending tens of thousands of dollars protecting themselves and their families.
@PunchbowlNews >@SenToomey spent 70k on a variety of security services, including with Fortified Estate, which brands itself as “The Leader In Refined Ballistic Doors, Windows, Walls & Panic Rooms”
@PunchbowlNews @SenToomey >@SenatorRomney spent 46k with a security company run by a former cop and two former FBI agents.

It’s Wednesday. There’s a Nats double header today. Great weather.

In @PunchbowlNews this AM, we ran down our first list of people to watch in the infrastructure process.

Remember: Biden is trying to spend $2.5T more on a massive public works program. This is gigantic.
@PunchbowlNews@SpeakerPelosi will be driving this train, but she faces a very delicate task here. Pelosi will have a three or four-seat majority, depending on when the American Jobs Plan gets to the floor.
@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi She has a ton of decisions to make. How will package be structured? Is there more than one reconciliation bill? If so, how does she divvy them up? What order is the leg voted on? All of these tactical decisions will help guide Pelosi as she tries to steer this through the House.

Hi.

We at @PunchbowlNews have a lot of reporting and thoughts about the parliamentarian/reconciliation stuff.
@PunchbowlNews We have heard Schumer describe the parl's ruling. Everyone is now waiting to see what the ruling says.

There will be a lot of discussion on what it means and how it would work. Schumer’s office even nods to this in its statement: “some parameters still need to be worked out.”
@PunchbowlNews Republicans, for their part, are withholding official comment on this until they work through it as well. Privately, senior GOP officials are telling us the ruling doesn’t say exactly what Democrats are saying it does. So there will be a lot on this in the coming days.

In @PunchbowlNews AM:

We make the case today that the Dem opposition to the infrastructure bill is weak.

Criticism 1: from @AOC -- the money isnt enough for an 8-year horizon

Criticism 2: Northeastern Dems want SALT caps repealed.
@PunchbowlNews @AOC SALT opposition is weakening.

The push started out as “No Salt, No deal.”

Now it’s:

"We could not vote for a bill that has a meaningful tax impact on our constituents unless it restores SALT deduction relief to our middle-class families.” Letter here bit.ly/3fHzxFW
“Meaningful tax impact” isn’t “No SALT, no deal.” How do you define meaningful? Is raising the corporate rate from 21% to 25% meaningful?

If you all will allow, I have a few quick observations after another deadly day in the Capitol.

— Todays the 92nd day of 2021, and 2 of those days have been deadly in the Capitol Horrible.

(cont.)
I work in the Capitol pretty much every day. Sometimes, i’ll be walking through the Ohio Clock Corridor — right outside the Senate — or Stat Hall and i’ll remember that that was where the insurrectionists marched through on Jan. 6 when the Capitol was attacked
That barricade where today’s attack happened is a pretty well-traveled entrance to the complex. People walk by foot from Union Station to the Capitol all the time and walk in that way. I did pre covid every day. Another place we’ll associate with a horrible attack
