I ask that everyone post Twitter updates in a single thread and any relevant news articles ahead of the vote on the GOP Compromise Bill in a single thread.

Happy Thursday. Playbook is out — massive day on the hill for the president and gop.

I’m about to talk about it all w @Morning_Joe

Today's immigration votes will prove if Republicans are capable of governing

WASHINGTON — A crisis at the border. An outraged American public. Uncertainty about what comes next. And today, the House of Representatives is set to vote on two comprehensive immigration bills — the conservative Goodlatte bill and a more moderate GOP bill — that will determine if the Republican-led House is capable of governing.

NBC’s Alex Moe and Marianna Sotomayor have some of the behind-the-scenes drama from yesterday: “Republican leadership huddled in Speaker Paul Ryan’s office after House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows claimed the compromise immigration bill was not ready for primetime which leadership later called a ‘miscommunication’ and NOT the Freedom Caucus moving the goal posts at the 11th hour as some moderates have suggested. Leadership says the immigration votes are STILL HAPPENING Thursday.”

More from Moe and Sotomayor: “Out of the loop it appears are the moderates — who were part of the group that negotiated this compromise deal with the Freedom Caucus and leadership — who say they are unaware of the changes the Freedom Caucus are asking for. Rep. Denham … told Chuck Todd on MTP Daily that “it is unbeknownst to him” what the Freedom Caucus wants. Moreover, he said that everything that the conservative caucus wanted was included in the final compromise bill text.”

Every time that House Republicans refuse to reach across the aisle — after all, both the Goodlatte bill and the more moderate one are GOP-sponsored bills — House Republicans are held hostage by this Freedom Caucus-vs.-moderate battle.

So we have four questions:

1. Can any bill win a majority of support?

2. If not, which bill gets more support — the Goodlatte bill or the moderate one?

3. Do the votes get pulled from the floor if it looks like nothing can pass?

4. And most importantly of all, are House Republicans capable of governing?

No Dems voicing support for Compromise Bill

Dems have abandoned DACA people

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Why would they support something they had no input in? Compromise between who? If they wanted Democratic support then they should have invited them to the table.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Correct, this is not a compromise bill. As Goodlatte called it on national tv it's Goodlatte and Goodlatte 2.0 (idiot)

both bills will fail, and hopefully moderates wake up and compromise with Dems on the USA Act, a real bipartisan bill.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Compromise between ModGOP and FC.

ModGOP is basically Dems. No different.

It is sick that Dems want us DACA to suffer in uncertainty so they can score political points.

Sick

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Never wanted bills to fail more in my life. These bills cause more harm then good... Even those that benefit from it walk a thin line that they are likely to fall from.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

What do you guys predict will happen today? Let's see who gets it right. My guess is both bills will fail to get enough votes...the blame game will follow.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Both bills will fail.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Lol are you sure you qualify for the bill.

Trump tweet: What is the purpose of the Hse doing good immigration bills when you need 9 votes by Dems in the Senate, & the Dems are only looking to Obstruct (which they feel is good for them in the Mid-Terms). GOPers must get rid of the stupid Filibuster Rule-it is killing you!


Or here's a crazy idea...work on a bipartisan solution.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

This is why I am concerned about McConnell’s silence. They know his agenda is dead in the water come November. If he goes nuclear to pass this bill it gives Trunp what he has wanted all along.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

I don't think he'll go nuclear because they know they won't be in power forever.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Stop spreading BS, Dems are the ones that gave you DACA

This 2 bills are shit for 80% of dreamers that is why they will not support them.

USA Act is a true compromise bill not this shit show

Here is Denham stading the truth:

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

All Democrats did was to obstruct Dreamer legislation. It was Obama who gave us DACA. Not Democrats. Obama was the president of both Democrats and Republicans.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Finally maybe Republicans will do the right thing and go nuclear on this.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Calling it a compromise bill doesn't make it so. Thousands of Dreamers including many DACA recipients won't benefit from Goodlatte 2.0.

HOUSE will hit the floor for votes at around 11:15, where they will vote on a procedural motion to get onto debate for the Goodlatte bill.

BTW — this kills the discharge petition. Goodnight to that.

I will always be proud to know that during my time as Speaker, the House passed the #DREAMAct.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Cool story Nancy,

You livin in the past. Don't be like Trump and boast. This does nothing sweetheart ;).

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

The failure of the past is not helping us out now is it ?

@scottwongDC
“Many GOP lawmakers predicting this morning that both immigration bills -- compromise and Goodlatte/McCaul -- will fail on the floor today”

We are fucked haha.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

So does this shit show effectively kill the discharge petition?

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

May you get what you wish for. Good luck :)

We expect the House to begin debate on the “conservative” immigration bill around noon et. They will likely vote on that bill sometime between 1 and 2 pm et. That bill has always been well short of the votes to pass and faces a big uphill battle.

8:15 AM - 21 Jun 2018

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

You're a better person than I. I've been watching this person be an ass to a lot of people and I'm not amused by this behavior.

After the Hse finishes the farm bill, the Hse again turns to immigration. Up in the queue then is the "moderate" bill crafted by the GOP ldrshp. That immigration bill provides $25b in direct funding for the wall. Has a better chance to pass than 1st farm bill. Vote in late pm

8:17 AM - 21 Jun 2018

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Nope. It would actually help the discharge petition effort if moderates were serious about it. So far it seems like they were never serious about it. All they wanted was a vote so that they can campaign and say that they tried.

What to expect in the House today
Here’s a preview of the action in the House today:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is expected to address reporters at 10:45 a.m.

From around 11:15 to 11:45 a.m., the House will have its first procedural votes on the more conservative immigration bill. Then debate on the bill will begin.

House Speaker Paul Ryan will brief reporters at 11:30 a.m.

From 1:10 to 1:40 p.m., the House will vote on the conservative immigration bill. That bill is expected to fail.

Then, from around 2:50 to 3:20 p.m., the House will hold procedural votes on the compromise immigration bill, followed by debate on the bill.

The House is expected to vote on the compromise bill at about 4:50 to 5:20 p.m. – but, as with all things Congress, this timeline is subject to change.

‘It’s going to blow up,’ says House member on immigration bill



Rep. Ryan Costello, a Republican from Pennsylvania who is not running for reelection, predicted that the House would not pass an immigration bill today.

Costello said in an interview that President Trump “knows exactly what he’s doing” with tweets about immigration. Trump told House Republicans that his Twitter account was powerful, he said.

Trump earlier tweeted that any Republican immigration legislation could pass the Senate, which GOP aides said could hurt efforts to pass a bill in the House.

“We’re going to blame Democrats and at the same time give cover to people who may not want to vote for the compromise bill,” Costello said.

Ryan has said for wks he opposed the immigration discharge petition because it didn't have a chance of becoming law. But in presser, he concedes the 2 immigration bills on the flr today may not become law because they might not pass or the Senate

8:42 AM - 21 Jun 2018

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

how many they need for the debate

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Get your renewals money ready...

Come December if DACA is still alive send it.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

The fact there is a gap between the voting times of both bills makes me think Trump will send a tweet providing full support for the compromise bill after the first bill fails to pass.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

He is extremely desperate to the point that he can't see that we all share the same shoes. And this will hurt a lot of us including me but Its fine we need to give him a break. Im still hopeful that something will happen for all of us. Somehow.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Not sure if you're a troll or just that stupid?
Obama isn't part of the Democrats?

Moderate GOP are basically like Democrats? LMAO what a clown.

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18

Re: Twitter News/Updates 06/21/18
 

Some people in this forum want these two bills to pass . Seriously , have you read all the details of these two bills ? Do you know that 85 % of DACA receipients will be excluded due to the hardline eligibility requirements ? This is not compromise bill , they are all republican bills try to kick out as many people as possible.
