Manchin tells me he is a YES on ATF nominee Steve Dettelbach, after opposing Biden’s first ATF nominee. “I’m going to support him,” he said, adding “these agents need leadership and they need someone who understands what they do and how vital their services are to our country.”

McCarthy told CNN's @mkraju that Biden "hasn't followed through" to revive debt ceiling talks. "He hasn’t followed up from our last meeting, even though he said he would," McCarthy said, adding that if Biden waits much longer "he's putting the economy in jeopardy."

Scalise tells me he hasn’t seen the video of the attack on Paul Pelosi yet. As a victim of political violence himself, Scalise added, “it’s never acceptable” and “you always have to stand up against that, no matter where it’s coming from.”

Members are required to sign a letter saying that they are voting by proxy “due to the ongoing public health emergency.” Members of both parties have abused this system, but tomorrow might be the most proxy votes since it became an option – due to extreme weather and the holidays
