In @PunchbowlNews AM: We took a look at the staredown between @RepJoshG, @RepJayapal and @SpeakerPelosi — three people we cover quite closely here at Punchbowl News

(BTW, i made this photo montage. #startup)
@PunchbowlNews @RepJoshG @RepJayapal @SpeakerPelosi There’s a real danger at this point that infra/reconciliation could go down — so everything that happens here is very important
@PunchbowlNews @RepJoshG @RepJayapal @SpeakerPelosi THE STANDOFF

Jayapal says she’s got 48 Dems ready to vote against infra.

Gottheimer wants a vote, as he was promised, next week

But it will fail unless Pelosi steps in and turns mods.
@PunchbowlNews @RepJoshG @RepJayapal @SpeakerPelosi GOTTHEIMER really can’t give in here for his own internal politics- - nor does he want to. He wants Pelosi to keep her word and help him pass this on Monday.
@PunchbowlNews @RepJoshG @RepJayapal @SpeakerPelosi and JAYAPAL’s view — why should we give in when many progs don’t even like infrastructure bill, and want guarantees on reconciliation

Happy Labor Day.

@PunchbowlNews is back after a weeklong vacation. We’re very, very excited to be back for what we anticipate to be a wild fall.

We have some news and new reporting for you this morning.
@PunchbowlNews → 24 days until the government runs out of money. Shutdown? Who knows. seems far off, but there is no plan right now to fund government — especially w plans to twin debt limit to funding.

As of now, talks center around a stopgap that will fund govt thru Thanksgiving or Xmas
@PunchbowlNews W.H. prepping a list of anamolies that it will want funded as part of a stopgap — those are priorities outside the already funded programs. WH expecting to deliver to the hill this week.

ALSO: Hurricane Ida money. Dems could put on funding bill and jam the Rs from LA.

Good scoop by @mkraju and @MZanona

There’s a process here, and we’ll see if Biggs can build coalitions to push it through.

2/3 of the conference — 142 Republicans — have to vote to expel.
Also — leave it to house Rs to make themselves the issue during a rough spot in Biden’s presidency.
And here’s @AdamKinzinger’s @Maura_Gillespie

“The American people deserve answers surrounding January 6th, and the non-partisan Select Committee to Investigate the Attack on the US Capitol is committed to uncovering the full truth and making those facts public.

McCarthy, in this news conference just now, said that there should be no troops in Afghanistan, then i asked him in a follow up if there should be troops — because he said a few days ago there should be — he said we should’ve kept Bagram.
And then he said no one believes there should be troops there.

So we’re all a bit unclear on what he believes here.

And, yes, we asked him about the dissonance between his position now and when Trump was in office.
McCarthy’s foreign policy has traditionally been in the kizinger/Cheney mold — even though he hates both of them now. But he has been aligned w trump for a while now so the pull-the-troops-out stuff is also on his mind.

Good Monday morning from the Capitol Building on a very interesting and high stakes day for the Biden agenda.

House Democratic leadership does not have the votes to pass its budget.

That’s bc @RepJoshG, @RepSchrader, @RepGolden and co are demanding infra vote before budget.
@RepJoshG @RepSchrader @RepGolden Key members of the moderate crew told us Sunday night they won’t, under any circumstances, back down. But that’s sunday night, and it’s now Monday.
@RepJoshG @RepSchrader @RepGolden Dem sources told us that @JoeBiden is expected to get involved today and call Democratic lawmakers.

rule vote is tonight. The rule may pass — the moderate group has not taken a stance against the rule, really and they could let it go through

But they’ve held firm on the budget

Admin continues to say they dont know how many Americans are in Afgh.

Stephanie Bice of Okla. just asked on the call how many Americans are left there who wish to leave.

Blinken said there are Afghan Americans who have chosen to stay over the years so they dont have a firm #
Now @RepJasonCrow is up — a Dem veteran from Colo. he said this is 1st time he’s heard commitment to afghan partners. And asked who can extend the security perimeter to outside the airport and asked whether there’s flexibility on Aug. 31 deadline.
@RepJasonCrow Milley didn’t give a firm answer here

MESSTEMBER

September is shaping up to be a historic mess on Capitol Hill, with critical deadlines piling up, the Biden agenda waiting to be completed.
@PunchbowlNews GROWING POSSIBILITY of a concurrent fight over govt funding and the debt limit. Both parties are talking past each other right now, which makes it feel like a replay of the 2011 debt crisis.
@PunchbowlNews That episode resulted in the first-ever downgrading of the U.S. credit rating. This time, a possible government shutdown is thrown in for good measure. This is Fiscal Cliff-like (Remember 2012-2013?).
