Senator @CoryBooker (D-NJ) on the status of bipartisan policing reform talks: “After months of exhausting every possible pathway to a bipartisan deal, it remains out of reach right now.”
Booker: “Unfortunately, even with this law enforcement support and further compromises we offered, there was still too wide a gulf with our negotiating partners and we faced significant obstacles to securing a bipartisan deal.”
Booker: “The time has come to explore all other options to achieve meaningful and common sense policing reform. I will not stop fighting until we achieve change that keeps our communities and police officers safe.”

Pelosi to House Democrats on $3.5T reconciliation bill: "Our legislation is being reviewed by the House & Senate Budget Cmte for possible Byrd violation challenges in order to narrow our exposure in a Byrd bath. The House & Senate are already in agreement on most of the bills."
Pelosi on $3.5T reconciliation bill price tag: "The President and Senate Democrats sent us a budget resolution with a cap of $3.5 trillion. I have promised Members that we would not have House Members vote for a bill with a higher topline than would be passed by the Senate."
Pelosi: "Hopefully, that will be at the $3.5 trillion number. We must be prepared for adjustments according to the Byrd rule and an agreed to number."
