Why would a “side agreement with the speaker promising that any House-passed reconciliation bill has to be written to pass the Senate” be such a win for House mods? I would hope they’d be *tougher* than Manchin on some issues. And Senate has to pas anyway, no? https://t.co/9DGUAnaKJS

Scary (to me) suggestion here that Pelosi could agree to let the bipartisan infra bill pass if Dem moderates agree to vote for big $2.3T reconciliation package later. Don’t see how they can do that without knowing what’s in it https://t.co/wJ8h43btmx

Getting people to safety and bringing them here are two different issues. Before any come *here* need to be vetted. Point is that the vetting systems don’t work–or authorities say people have been vetted when they haven’t. https://t.co/2VWNNMAhvb
