. @ewarren , emotional, tells me she tried to make eye contact with Republicans in the chamber while the videos were playing “but they just wanted to look off.” “They don’t want to talk about it,” she said, when asked if she spoke to her GOP colleagues during the break.

SINEMA: "Good-faith negotiations, however, require trust. Over the course of this year, Democratic leaders have made conflicting promises that could not all be kept... Canceling the infrastructure vote further erodes that trust.” She calls the BIF delay "an ineffective stunt".

Incredible. It is revealed in the news conference that the crew aboard the ship notified authorities of power outages… and that move alone probably saved many lives, cars were stopped from traveling across the bridge at the moment of impact.

"The sounds of the montage seemed to echo a lot more in the chamber, filling it with the screams and yells of the mob... When the video concluded, it was silent in the chamber. When Raskin began to speak again, it felt like the room took a breath." Chamber color from @ESCochrane

Romney and Graham were having an animated discussion during the break. I saw them through the cloakroom door, Graham was waving his hands around and seemed to be lecturing Romney on something. Romney then went to talk to Coons on the floor.

NEW: Manchin returns from his meeting w/ Biden, tells us he made “no commitments” to the President on the reconciliation package. “There was no commitments made at all,” he said when asked about a top-line number. “Just good negotiations, talking about the needs of our country.”
