Morning from a very, very busy Capitol.

In @PunchbowlNews this AM — a lot on infrastructure, which is what all of Washington is focused on at the moment.

We start out at the White House — tons of reporting from 1600 Pennsylvania.

— @RepRonKind/ @SenatorBaldwin to WI w Biden

@PunchbowlNews @RepRonKind @SenatorBaldwin — Steve Ricchetti will be on the Hill today with Louisa Terrell and Shuwanza Goff talking to lots of lawmakers on the House side.

— WH talked to *every* Dem chief yesterday.

@PunchbowlNews @RepRonKind @SenatorBaldwin Now let’s shift to the PEOPLE’S HOUSE (cc @jmartNYT)

— We caught up with @AOC who seems quite cool with how the process is going so far. She said she feels “good,” although noted that’s not a great adjective.

She seems open to the bipartisan bill if the Senate passes a budget

@PunchbowlNews @RepRonKind @SenatorBaldwin @jmartNYT @AOC >@AOC is not hung up on the overall pricetag of the budget — but is more concerned with what priorities will be included. She’s specifically focused on climate.

@PunchbowlNews @RepRonKind @SenatorBaldwin @jmartNYT @AOC — Also, @RepJayapal is meeting with Richetti and co today. She is no longer saying $6T to $10T for the budget, which will be seen as progress.

— @RepJohnYarmuth told Dems yesterday privately to not draw red lines about the budget. the chair is trying to keep flexible here
