Is that a knife in Nancy Pelosi's back? Looks like Chuck Schumer made a deal with the devil, aka Joe Manchin, way back in July [pic]

Democratic negotiations over the $3.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill appear to be going just swimmingly!

Big scoop from @burgessev, who got a hold of Manchin's document on what he'll tolerate from the recon billhttps://t.co/URbw1nGoOU

Was half hoping this would be a rickroll. But it’s a $1.5T top line, lower corporate tax rate than currently proposed & a host of other demands. Manchin has also separately said the final bill cannot violate Hyde on taxpayer funding of abortion. Progs not going to like this. https://t.co/EsNKzjuhMZ

Well, progs really aren’t going to like this:

A senate aide confirms authenticity of this document from July, reported by Politico – that Manchin proposed to Schumer a topline $1.5T reconciliation bill, with debate to begin no later than 10/1/2021. Says Manchin does not guarantee vote for reconciliation if it exceeds $1.5T pic.twitter.com/JMX7SXxXyS

** correction – memo says debate to begin no EARLIER than Oct 1

Guys …

Manchin has shown doc to fellow Dems. There's a ton in here on tax rates, energy and spending

“Senator Manchin does not guarantee that he will vote for the final reconciliation legislation if it exceeds the conditions outlined in this agreement,” the paper reads in bold text.

and Schumer signed this! https://t.co/ERkqPmjPqO

"Sen. Manchin did not rule out voting for a reconciliation bill that exceeded the ideas he outlined, and Leader Schumer made clear that he would work to convince Sen. Manchin to support a final reconciliation bill — as he has doing been for weeks.”

Good luck, Chuck.

When Pelosi tells you the $3.5 top number changed 10 days ago and Schumer signed a doc with Manchin *in July* that the top number would be $1.5 (which everyone knew anyway but literal receipts) https://t.co/C7swMMP1q8

Womp-womp.

Joe Manchin: "I compromised by going from zero to $1.5 trilion."

LOLOL. He really does not care. Amazing.

Manchin: "If progressives want $3.5 trillion, they can elect more liberals next year."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That is exactly what he said about progressives in West Virginia trying to beat him. He couldn't have been clearer if he'd stood there with both middle fingers raised. Incredible.

He really did say it. https://t.co/cncZanaJms

Dude is just dunking nonstop on Biden and Pelosi https://t.co/He2NwLWeNk

And we’re here for all of it.

I see the Dems are at the competitive leaking phase of productive good faith negotiations.

We’re not complaining. AOC, on the other hand …

Will some journo please reach out to @AOC for her thoughts on Schumer signing Manchin's agreement?

Attention @AOC,

Chuck Schumer signing the Manchin Plan is a complete betrayal of all progressives and undermines everything you have fought for

He has left you no option

You must primary Senator Schumer.

— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) September 30, 2021

Maybe this’ll be the thing that ultimately convinces her to run for Senate.

The Dem Disarray circular firing squad clown car dumpster fire going on in capitol hill is the funniest thing ever

They're like rats trying to escape a sinking ship while trying to eat each other as they all drown

Absolutely incredible

You love to see it.
