Including Susan Collins of maine, one of the main moderates who told me she has concerns about adding the repeal of the individual mandate of obamacare on to the tax bill because it could raise premiums and essentially wipe away some of the tax breaks that some people may get from this bill. Others are concerned about some of the potential deficit increases including senator bob corker of tennessee, he would not vote for any bill that would raise the deficit at all. A lot of questions emerge after today when President Trump comes here to the house to actually push this, try to a pep rally of sorts to push this bill over the finish line. We do expect it to get past the house today. What happens in the senate after it passes the Senate Finance committee this week, uncertain about its prospects on the senate floor.

Morning. At around 10 00, House Republicans and democrats will go their separate ways and have conversations behind closed doors about what to do next. The big moment comes at noon. Thats when the senate gavels back in. The balls in the senates court. Theyre the ones that have to take the next move because the house has passed a shortterm spending plan. The question is can the senate gather the 60 votes necessary to do that themselves. At this point, that doesnt seem possible. In fact, listen to what was talked about last night on the senate floor before the shutdown went into effect. Perhaps across the aisle some of our democratic colleagues are feeling proud of themselves, but what has their filibuster accomplished . What has it accomplished .

When did he know about the accusations . To what ext
Kelly who weve learned is also taking the lead on these negotiations, Stephen Miller, who is a top aide to president obama who has been known to be pretty firm on immigration issues and Kristjen Nielsen the new homeland screw secretary and marc short, but its the group of lawmakers part of the meeting that some democrats are raising concerns about, folks like tom cotton they view as opposed to the underlying idea of a daca deal, but there are others including democrats, dick durbin, jeff flake, a more moderate republican from arizona, Lindsey Graham, also someone who has been very favorable to trying to find a deal on daca, kevin mccarthy, Republican House majority leader and steny hoyer. A very large group raising some questions whether this is a meeting about negotiation or a meeting about showing that the white house is involved in this process. Its unclear whether the aim of the objective here is to come out of it with an actual deal on the table. John and poppy . Thats a great que
