In @PunchbowlNews this AM, we ran down all of the options Pelosi has on the Jan. 6 commission — and the plusses and minuses in each approach.

This is based off of deep reporting in the House Dem Caucus.

Here … we …. go:
@PunchbowlNews The House can push for another Senate vote. good luck. Senate hates listening to the House. and the Rs have made it clear.

There is talk, though, of amending the House bill with the @SenatorCollins changes and sending it back to the Senate. That may be interesting, but 🤷‍♂️
@PunchbowlNews @SenatorCollins Select committee. this is the play that a lot of people want. Pelosi gets to choose who sits on the panel. Lot of control for the speaker here. and would Rs appoint members? Assume so.
@PunchbowlNews @SenatorCollins Use existing committe structure. this is the preference of @WhipClyburn, who thinks Homeland is suited for this. Would also put @GOPLeader in a bit of a jam, given @RepJohnKatko is atop the panel

NEWS in @PunchbowlNews this AM:

Senate Ds are now unlikely to try using the FY 2021 budget resolution to put together another reconciliation package, according to three sources close to the issue.

This is important because it tells us a lot about the Senate’s timing.
@PunchbowlNews If you remember, Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that Senate Democrats can use the same budget resolution to pass multiple majority-vote reconciliation packages, according to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) office.
@PunchbowlNews Dems used the FY 2021 budget resolution to pass the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March, and they could use it again, Democrats say.

>@PunchbowlNews AM: The Biden Governing Doctrine

Four months in a few points about @JoeBiden

→ Relearning Washington. Biden campaigned for the presidency having what he described as a deep set of relationships with Republicans, combined with real insight into how they think.
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden But he quickly learned that his view of D.C. is tinted with sepia. The Republicans in Congress now don’t resemble the Republicans he knew in the ‘80s, ‘90s, or early 2000s. They are, for the most part, uninterested in working with him. Biden has learned that quickly.
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden His WH has been somewhat smart in targeting the rank-and-file instead of the GOP leadership. @SenCapito for example, carries a different kind of heft than @LeaderMcConnell. She also has her own thoughts on what’s achievable.

🚨🚨Another wild day in the house

House Democrats have had a procedural vote open for an hour because they are having trouble getting voted for their bill to harden security at the Capitol.

The whole leadership is on the floor whipping.
Pelosi is huddling with @repcleaver and @WhipClyburn — two stalwarts of the CBC.
>@LeaderHoyer and @rosadelauro are talking with @RashidaTlaib. A long convo.
