From a White House official this morning: “The President will host Leader Schumer and Senator Manchin at his home in Delaware this morning for breakfast to continue their discussions about the Build Back Better agenda” per WH pool, first reported by @burgessev & @heatherscope.
WH readout on President Biden meeting w/Schumer & Manchin at his Wilmington, DE home: “A productive discussion about the Build Back Better Agenda, including equipping Americans to get back to work and making our economy deliver for the middle class — not just those at the top.”
WH: “They (Schumer & Manchin) continued to make progress, will have their staffs work on follow-ups from the meeting, and agreed to stay in close touch with each other and the wide range of members who have worked hard on these negotiations.”
WH tonight: “Throughout the week, the President will continue his engagement with Members of Congress on his transformative Build Back Better Agenda and Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal.”

January 6th Cmte Chair Thompson & Vice Chair Cheney on former President Trump's lawsuit: "The former President’s clear objective is to stop the Select Committee from getting to the facts about Jan. 6th & his lawsuit is nothing more than an attempt to delay & obstruct our probe."
Thompson & Cheney: "Precedent and law are on our side. Executive privilege is not absolute and President Biden has so far declined to invoke that privilege."
Thompson & Cheney: "Additionally, there’s a long history of the White House accommodating congressional investigative requests when the public interest outweighs other concerns."

Biden: "Above all, Colin was my friend. Easy to share a laugh with. A trusted confidant in good and hard times. He could drive his Corvette Stingray like nobody’s business—something I learned firsthand on the race track when I was Vice President."

Hoyer writes to House Democrats this morning on Oct. House agenda:”With the short-term extension of surface-transportation programs through October 31,the House will aim to consider the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act & the Build Back Better Act this work period.”
Hoyer ahead of the new December 3rd debt default deadline: “Over the next seven weeks, it is imperative that Senate Republicans get out of the way and allow an up-or-down vote to address the debt limit.”
Hoyer:”In the meantime, the House will explore options to remove the threat that the debt limit poses over the long term,now that Republicans have demonstrated a willingness to weaponize it for partisan purposes.The House may consider legislation as early as this month to do so.”
