Chuck schumer said this this morning, time is of the essence for a body that can go as quickly as they want and it tends to go more slowly and heres chuck schumer laying out the stakes. >> time is a luxury the senate does not have if we want to prevent default. june 5th is less than four days away. at this point, any needless delay or any last-minute holdups would be an unnecessary and even dangerous risk and any change to this bill that forces us to send it back to the house would be entirely u...

More military aid into this spending package. he believes its insufficient to help ukraine in terms of their fight against russia. all of this to a certain extent is just noise. theres a real belief that there are enough votes, the 60 votes necessary to get this over the finish line, and senator joe manchin who usually has a pretty good pulse of whether or not somethings going to pass or fail had this to say about the bill earlier today. >> i believe it will pass intact. everyone knows it cant g...

What senator warren said. she said every rock you overturn in the deal, theres something else sliming under it. i imagine thats your view. what is the biggest slime? what do you think the senate in particular could try to do through the amendment process to get rid of? >> first, i think we should not be hurting people from getting $6 a day food stamps when we have an affordability crisis. look out for the 40 million student loan borrowers who will have to start repaying in september if the bill ...

On the influential rules committee. that committee sets the agenda for which bills come to the floor, how those bills are structured on the floor, how many votes they take, what the amendment process looks like. its a very important functioning committee. its usually just an extension of the speakers office, most of the time his key allies sitting on that committee. another important concession. ill tell you this morning, one moderate i spoke to had a lot of concerns about how far mccarthy is go...

Summer. increase in pell grants. so weve concluded this congress, one of the most productive in decades with one of the best omnibus packages in decades. heres one of the things that amazes me. the amendment process made it better. usually when you have a big omnibus the amendment process makes it worse because the minority is trying to undo a lot 69 things in the bill, but here we stood firm and got it done. again, as i said, it was a great two years. one of the most productive congress weve ha...
