Pelosi introduces measure to create a 13-member select committee to probe Jan. 6, five of whom would be appointed by the GOP leader. Panel would have subpoena power and chair would be appointed by the speaker. House Rules will consider the measure before floor action this week
The text does not specify an end date for when the final report is due from the House select committee. An outside commission would have been required to report by year’s end. The select committee would be able to issue interim reports as needed
Pelosi is considering naming a Republican as one of her eight appointees. All eyes will be on Liz Cheney
The language says that five members “shall be appointed after consultation” with McCarthy

After meeting with McCarthy, DC Metro Police Officer Michael Fanone says he asked the GOP leader to denounce GOP members’ conspiracies about Jan. 6 and the 21 Rs who voted against awarding police with congressional gold medals.

He said that McCarthy would address it privately
“I asked him specifically for a commitment to denounce that publicly. And he said that he would address it at a personal level, with some of those members. But again … as the leader of the House Republican Party, it’s important to hear those denouncements publicly,” Fanone said
On select committee probing Jan. 6, Fanone asked McCarthy "for a commitment not to put obstructionists or the wrong people in that position."
Dunn and Fanone both said that McCarthy "committed to taking it seriously."

Dem leaders have come up with a strategy to effectively pressure both wings of their party to fall in line behind the bipartisan deal and the reconciliation package -- with the hope of sending the bills to President Joe Biden's desk as early as September.
Pelosi said today that the House won't approve the bipartisan deal until the Senate passes the reconciliation bill first. That effectively pressures Manchin and other moderates to fall in line to back reconciliation proposal if they want to see their bipartisan deal become law.
Progressives, meanwhile, will be under pressure to back the bipartisan deal because it is expected to contain key authorizations of spending measures and an extension of transportation programs set to expire by Sept. 30, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Sen. Bill Cassidy, one of the key infrastructure negotiators, left a meeting and said: “We have a framework and we are going to the White House tomorrow”

He would not give any more details
Romney and Manchin both say there’s an agreement with the WH officials and 10 senators on infrastructure 

They said it’s fully paid for and offsets the new spending. $1.2 trillion over 8 years

$579B in new spending
Cost is $974B over five years
Asked if there is an agreement on a framework, Warner told @morgan_rimmer and added “we would not be going to the White House tomorrow if there wasn’t one”

McCarthy said of DC police officer Michael Fanone, who was badly hurt on Jan. 6 and has been trying to set up a meeting with him: “I'd gladly meet with him .. we gave him the phone number to the scheduler and said we'd love to meet with you. Unfortunately he hasn't followed up.”
Officer Fanone told me he finally spoke with a scheduler from McCarthy’s office today.
 
Fanone says he attempted to first schedule a meeting with McCarthy more than a month ago — on the day that Rep. Clyde compared the day’s events to a “normal tourist visit.”
But Fanone said the person who answered the initial call last month “was very disrespectful.” Then, the person passed the call off to another aide who gave an email address of the scheduler. He said he didn’t email the scheduler after he was treated rudely by the staff
