Manchin: “I believe that partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy, and for that reason, I will vote against the For the People Act. Furthermore, I will not vote to weaken or eliminate the filibuster.” https://t.co/P1N79VG1Wa

Good old Joe
Joe Manchin: Deeply Disappointed in the GOP and Prepared to Do Absolutely Nothing
I’m biased, but I think this @sambrodey piece is fantastic. https://t.co/HIPWMQOLrN

Yeah, that’s bullshit
Susan Collins just made a new offer on the 1/6 commission. But it's a recipe for scuttling a real accounting. It gives the vice chair equal control over staffing. But the vice chair is picked by McConnell/McCarthy, who oppose the commission's core mission:https://t.co/F42QLzMQox

Oh sure
"Sen. Manchin's guiding principle is that GOP senators are sincerely interested in crafting bipartisan compromise. President Biden has also invested time and effort into the idea that Republicans are ready to deal."
They're not. Really. They're saying so:https://t.co/pgRobUKav9

Sure, we should cooperate with Republicans
Not that I doubted it for a second, but it’s so useful when he comes right out and says it like that:

Fuck Mitch
McConnell says GOP won't support Biden's infrastructure plan. Will fight "Democratic agenda"

Bipartisan what?
There is no room for compromise in the Senate on voting rights legislation and it's driving the chamber to "nuclear" fight.
Sens. Klobuchar and Blunt are chummy, effective Rules committee leaders but have a "fundamental disagreement" on this, AK says https://t.co/OJw6mAcuGU

Of course
Joe Manchin just took an important filibuster reform off the table https://t.co/HXQynywV1Y via @voxdotcom

Piece of work
Gossip on the Hill is that @SenatorSinema told Schumer she was only getting pro-filibuster calls last week.
This weekend, AZ Indivisible groups filled her DC and state office voicemail. 447 calls and counting. Let's hit 1,000 today: Text Arizona to 977-79 or call 1-877-847-4809 pic.twitter.com/ryWVjQAIfb

What a stupid mistake this would be
Dems considering lower income threshold to reduce number of people who get checks.
— Arthur Delaney (@ArthurDelaneyHP) February 3, 2021
Last checks started phasing out at $75k for individuals; Dems looking at $50k, per source (confirming @JStein_WaPo reporting yesterday) w/ @igorbobic https://t.co/98q0Fb7p8U
