1. I'm Gonna Go Out On A Limb And Say There Will NOT Be A Vote

"Hopefully," she says. What confidence.

2. agree

When she's got the votes, she'll do it.

3. I am surprised she is giving dates again after so many previous false starts.

Makes me think she has the votes this time.. even though she is saying "hopefully" and "well see". I think she is afraid to sound too confident given what has happened before.

4. Clever strategy- vote on BBB tonight, then (maybe) BIF tomorrow

Only after Manchin and Sinema weigh in on if they will support the BBB as passed by the house.

Fingers crossed, but not holding my breath…

5. BBB seems like it's dead at this point

The question is whether the BIF is dead too.

6. This is probably the only way a certain group will

vote for the Infrastructure bill. BBB is going to be written in the Senate no matter what gets voted on in the House tonight.
Nancy Pelosi has known this since summer. BBB was always going to be written in the Senate. The Progressive Caucus doesn't have the votes in the Senate to pass what it wants. There isn't any way around that basic fact.

7. Manchin just said that

He’s not going to work off of their bill. Sad that this is happening

8. He did?

9. Anyone who's ever been a child knows what "we'll see" means.

10. Did they take out the tax break for the rich?

The version from yesterday sounds like it gives a lot of comfort to the comfortable.
