.@Max33Verstappen is the Formula 1 world champion!! Dethrones @LewisHamilton with an overtake on the last lap of the last race of potentially the greatest season ever.

AMAZING
Yep. Greatest @F1 season ever. @Max33Verstappen a worthy champion, finally making the sport interesting after 7 years of Mercedes going virtually unchallenged.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff is complaining about that call to allow a real last lap of racing after the damage was cleared. FIA race director Michael Masi isn’t impressed. “Toto. It’s called a motor race, ok? We went car racing.”
.@redbullracing celebrating with some Queen
And Michael Schumacher's record of seven F1 world championships remains tied but unbroken.
A bunch of F1 reporters and writers had to throw out their prewritten stories for an epic history-making moment — on the last lap. I can sympathize! 🙏
For F1 fans who watched the finale: Mercedes protested to have the result overturned over a dispute about safety car procedure after @lewishamilton lost. Their challenge was rejected.

@Max33Verstappen is still champion.

Chuck Schumer says the Senate "will act tomorrow to prevent default" by passing the filibuster-proof bill to lift the debt ceiling, enabled by the bipartisan legislation approved last week.
.@SenSchumer says the Senate still intends to “vote on President Biden’s Build Back Better Act before the Christmas holiday.”

That leaves this week and next.
Schumer on BBB: Committees have been submitting final text to parliamentarian, CBO and Republicans. Bipartisan “Byrd bath” meetings are happening this week. He says he and Biden will be talking to Democratic lawmakers to “hammer out the final details of Build Back Better.”

Final sprint to Christmas on Capitol Hill

The agenda ahead:

∙ Finish raising debt limit
∙ Pass defense policy bill
∙ 1/6 contempt vote vs. Meadows

And the biggest open question:

∙ Will Senate pass Build Back Better Act?

nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
"We have basically 49 of us in agreement to move forward. So we have one colleague we're continuing to work with, and he's been successful at making a number of changes. And so hopefully he'll be joining us," Sen. Stabenow, in Dem leadership, tells me. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
The nicotine tax may be stripped out of Build Back Better. Democratic Sen. @CortezMasto says she opposes it and has made her position clear to party leaders and the administration. "My concern is this is a regressive tax," she tells NBC. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

1/6 Chair @BennieGThompson says the committee has "just learned" Jeffrey Clark has agreed to appear again for his deposition (after showing up and saying nothing the first time). He says they'll proceed with a contempt vote and won't allow anybody to run the clock on them. Image
Liz Cheney says Jeffrey Clark's attorney has conveyed that he "plans to assert his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination." She says he has yet to cure his "failure to comply with the subpoena" but may try to do so "this Saturday."
.@Liz_Cheney says Jeffrey Clark is "not excused from testifying just because President Trump is trying to hide behind inapplicable claims of executive privilege."

Arguments begin and Mississippi SG Scott Stewart goes straight at the SCOTUS abortion precedents: "Roe and Casey have failed." He says abortion law should be left to voters and not established as a right by the courts.

"This court should overrule Roe and Casey," he says.
Clarence Thomas asks the Mississippi SG: "If we don't overrule Casey or Roe, do you have a standard that you propose other than the viability standard?"

Stewart replies that it should, in that case, be an "undue burden un-tethered from any bright line viability rule."
Breyer seems to be talking, indirectly, to Chief Justice Roberts (and maybe Kavanaugh) when he quotes prior opinions to argue that overruling Roe/Casey now would damage the Supreme Court's legitimacy.

BREAKING: House passes Biden's ~$1.7 trillion safety net and climate package on a 220-213 vote.

All the YES votes are Democrats.

One Democrat votes NO: Jared Golden.

Republicans unanimously vote NO.

Bill goes to the Senate, where changes are likely.

nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
So. What's in this bill?
.@SenSchumer, earlier this week: "The BBB is very important to America. We believe it's very popular with Americans. We aim to pass it before Christmas." nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

208-220, the Republican motion to recommit and take Build Back Better off the House floor fails.

Next up: House vote on passage.
This is it: The big House vote on passage of Biden's ~$1.7 trillion safety net and climate change bill.
The vote's moving quickly (by the standards of the proxy era at least). About 40 more to go.

Maine's @RepGolden is, at time of this tweet, the only Democratic defection.
