Asked about potential corporate oversight, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said, “The corruption is everywhere, and it infects all parts of our government.”

“We can’t know how bad it is until we get an independent investigation,” she said.

!! Ratepayer Protection Act fails on the Senate floor. Ossoff, Warnock, Klobuchar, Hassan voted in favor - not enough to clear the 60-vote threshold Republicans needed.

NEW: Permitting text! Everyone get your take in.

Sen. Heinrich on permitting reform just now "We intend to work through it, and no the deal is not on hold." Seems a much more open tone than staff. @pavanmacharya had the quote.

@hapgoodreports This is your Super Bowl

[Amelia Davidson @ameliadavidson_]

Schumer has been coy about whether he is officially whipping against the bill, but he’s spent the day calling it a “fraud.” .., and the coalition of seven Dem yes votes needed to clear the bill has yet to emerge

[Amelia Davidson @ameliadavidson_]

Against all odds, the Ratepayer Protection Act is back on the Senate floor tomorrow - but Dems are getting ready to sink the procedural vote over concerns that the bill doesn’t go far enough

NEWS: Senate permitting text is coming tomorrow, Sen. Alan Armstrong (R-Okla.) tells me.

There’ll be a press conference and a full bill release, he said. A senior aide involved in negotiations also confirmed to @NicoPortuondo.

Thune filing cloture on:
1) Husted's data center bill
2) stock trading
3) Keith Sonderling's Labor nom

When I asked if Senate would stay to finish Sonderling since that takes 30 hours after Wednesday cloture:

"We'll see. We don't know at this point kind of what the glide path looks like"

Democrats weigh how to handle data center vote that could benefit a GOP foe https://t.co/RBkg32h6OE

BREAKING: a vote on permitting reform is officially being kicked to the lame duck, a senior Dem aide familiar with negotiations tells me. No vote before election.

“The goal here has always been to pass permitting reform, not just to introduce it.”

[Jordain Carney @jordainc]

Some Senate Republican discussion, per two GOP senators, about potentially staying in town next week to vote on Husted's ratepayer protection act

But no decisions. Permitting reform also still spinning and Thune has said if that came together, members would want to stay for a vote

Also possible Senate leaves by the end of the week until after the midterms

Heinrich tells me coming off the floor the issue of data center related energy costs “won't get fixed with a voluntary agreement.”

“If voluntary worked we'd already be there,” he added
