Oops, he did it again — You can’t string along a Democratic colleague like Senator Joe Manchin.
The centrist Democratic Party of West Virginia is a party on new spending to combat climate change and tax increases for large corporations and wealthy individuals, a key element of the Democratic Party’s agenda that it wanted to achieve before the mid-term. I made a conservative proposal on my own.
The revelation smashed the fragile foothold of a large-scale deal over the months of one-on-one negotiations between Manchin and Senate leader Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.).
“Sen. Manchin puts the political agenda aside and reassesses and adjusts to the economic reality facing the country so that it does not take steps to add fuel to the fire of inflation. I believe the time has come, “said Manchin spokesman Sam Lun-young.
He (or not): Manchin “clearly” in a meeting with Schumaer, under special rules to avoid filibuster, lowering the cost of prescription medicines for the elderly and subsidizing health insurance premiums for party line packages 2 He said he would only support provisions aimed at extending the year.
Democrats were able to make the deal, even though they were far below what they were trying to achieve. They hope to prevent a significant increase in health insurance premiums to be implemented for Americans this fall. And drug pricing regulations can at least bring them the long-awaited victory.
Progressivists are making a fuss over Manchin’s refusal to engage in climate change measures.
“Angry protects me from tears. Resolve protects me from despair. I will not tolerate future climate disasters. I believe in the power of the Green New Deal. The power of the youth. Because I am. We. I won’t give up, “said Senator Ed Marquee (D-Mass.) Tweet..

You are a Gona Suffer, but you will be happy about it — At the house, Dems rewinds today. Jordan and Sara need to find out how tired they are from treatment in the House and “swallow whatever the Senate gives them in two of the party’s biggest bills to get one through.” I have.
Parliamentary Progressive Caucus Chairman Pramirajayapal (Democratic Party) said: It robs a lot of leverage. It’s a kind of yes-no question, as opposed to “what more can we get?” question. … There is always a “no” option. That is the ultimate leverage. She told Sarah and Jordan that its development could further exacerbate the Senate’s view of House Dems before Manchin throws a hammer at climate and tax regulations.

TGIF! On Friday, July 15th, welcome to Huddle, the full live guide to Capitol Hill, where Manch-o-Meter is off the charts.
ROE, ROE, ROE VOTES— — Today’s house will take at least half a dozen votes first, depending on Dobbs’ decision. today: Codify the right to abortion (again) and protect the right to move across state boundaries to receive abortion care.
next: Data privacy, protection of access to contraception, codification of same-sex marriage rights.
Some Democrats want the leader to do more. As Congressman Jim Himes (D-Conn.) Emphasized at this week’s Private Caucus Conference, returning voters want more strategy than just telling people to go out and vote. He urged Dems to try a more fragmentary approach — put a bill on the floor to protect abortion when women’s lives are at stake. Next, a bill to protect abortion of victims of rape and incest. and so on.
“If you believe there is a way to codify Roe, do it. But no, so let’s do what we can to save lives.” When asked about the discussion of the caucuses, Himes told us.
“Current attack plans are terribly bad, at least in my district,” Himes spoke broadly about Democratic tactics.
But other senior dems say they’re not going in that direction. “We are not going to negotiate women’s choices,” Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Told reporters.
From Sarah and Marianne: The Dems base wants a simple egg tapping. Instead, it’s getting complicated.
Assassination Weapon — The House Judiciary Committee will take up the ban on offensive weapons next week, banning the “import, sale, manufacture, or transfer” of semi-automatic rifles with certain “military features,” such as large or removable magazines. .. It doesn’t affect any weapon already in the hands of Americans. According to sources familiar with the meeting, Pelosi discussed with Democratic leaders Thursday night a move to act on the bill, sponsored by Congressman David Siciline (DR.I.). This move points to a shift, given that there wasn’t enough support to move the majors just a few weeks ago. Siciline has been working for months to get a “no” vote within a Democratic rally. There is no definite number of whips, but he has made progress.
Choose a tip — “Majority leader Chuck Schumer expects to raise $ 52 billion in initial funding for chip factories on Tuesday and provide tax deductions for ongoing semiconductor production,” said a person familiar with the plan. Any movement will offend vulnerable Democrats who have pressured party leaders to break through the log jam of the bill that they have created over nearly two years. ” Write Andrew and Gavin Bade..
At House, Pelosi and the Democratic leadership team discussed the submission of a standalone “CHIPS-plus” bill soon next week. Sara reported last night.. However, exactly what is included is still under debate.
You can’t make a fire without Spartans— — “Victoria Spartans took a Republican cloak in the spring to support Kyiv. Now her fellow lawmakers are worried that she may be undermining her efforts.” Said. Write Andrew and Olivia..
“In the House Republican Conference, her attitude is broadly hurting US-Ukraine relations at the worst of times, and she is being played by an army aimed at undermining the Western Union. There is fear. Republican national security hawks are also worried that their party’s MAGA department, which is already reluctant to support Ukraine, will point out Spartan’s comments as justification.
