Why Biden shouldn’t take the deal, as we laid out in @PunchbowlNews this AM:

→ 1 tough vote. If Congress jams everything from Biden’s American Jobs and Families plans into one massive, multi-trillion dollar reconciliation package, then lawmakers only have to take one vote.
@PunchbowlNews → Don’t be cute. In order to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill, Biden will have to corral Ds to simultaneously support a separate reconciliation package filled with more controversial spending provisions for social programs. Don’t you realize how hard that’s going to be?
@PunchbowlNews → Progressives see a trap -- and they might be right. Say this roughly $1 trillion package passes with Sinema and @Sen_JoeManchin backing it -- or even leading the way, as Sinema is doing. Will they vote for a package that includes big social program spending? Or tax increases?

In @PunchbowlNews this AM, we laid out five reasons why @JoeBiden should take this infrastructure deal, and why he shouldn’t — based on reporting from the Capitol and the White House.
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden → Biden should take it because he has a lot of stuff to get done. And the most efficient and best way to get the most stuff done is to get some stuff done all the time, so you have less stuff to do.

Make sense? There’s a deal on the table, or at least the outlines for a deal.
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden → Scratching an itch is fun. Biden wants a bipartisan W worse than we want the cicadas to bury themselves for the next 17 yrs. And guess what, Mr. President: This is your chance. Not many more after this

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.

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.
