As Platner is doing an interview on MSNOW, Susan Collins is about to cast her 10,000th consecutive vote.

Senate Dem Leader Schumer and Whip Durbin among those saying nice words about Collins as she is about to reach the threshold.

Thune on if WH consulted him on weaponization compensation fund:

“Well, it would be nice if they had consulted… But it's water under the bridge now and you play the hand you're dealt. And we'll sort it out from here but obviously it became a more complicated and bumpy path.”

[Tyler Olson @TylerOlson1791]

Thune on if Trump going after GOP incumbents contributed to blowup on reconciliation bill: “I think it's hard to divorce anything that happens here from what's happening in the political atmosphere around us.”

[Tyler Olson @TylerOlson1791]

Senate GOP pulling ICE/CBP bill amid revolt over $1.8B weaponization fund, per multiple senators. They are leaving town without even sending the reconciliation bill to the House. Almost certainly means Congress will miss June 1 deadline Trump set.

Blanche meeting with Senate GOP did not appear to go well. Lots of GOP Sens appearing frustrated as they walk out.

Asked if there will be a vote-a-rama this week, Sen. Schmitt said "that's a great question."

Sen. Collins said “I don’t know” if reconciliation vote happens.

Sen. Curtis to reporters on the way into meeting with Blanche:

"I have serious concerns... my concern is the executive branch being able to at their will send money to people without the proper judicial ruling." Curtis also said "I'm not sure guardrails matter," in this case.

Acting AG Blanche arrives on Capitol Hill ahead of meeting with Senate GOPers about $1.8B weaponization compensation fund. It has become a sticking point on the ICE/CBP reconciliation bill.

[Tyler Olson @TylerOlson1791]

Schumer, Jeffries and bicameral Dems holding event to rail against ICE/CBP funding bill on Senate steps.

Schumer says GOP tried to “sneak” in $1B for ballroom but “the American people caught them red-handed, and now they're trying to drop that hot potato.”

JEFFRIES: “We are here standing in solidarity with the NAACP and its call for athletes to boycott institutions within the SEC that belong to states that have unleashed these Jim Crow like, racially oppressive tactics.”

[Tyler Olson @TylerOlson1791]

Jeffries, CBC and NAACP in presser just now calling on black student athletes to boycott southern state schools in response to gerrymandering.

Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick resigns immediately before her Ethics Committee sanctions hearing.

Says Ethics Committee proceeding with probe during criminal investigation prevented her from defending herself. Accuses committee of “political games.”

Wyden, after letting short-term Section 702 stopgap pass, says reform proponents are still looking for real changes.

“I talked to the House members early this morning, and we are determined to not accept the status quo in any way shape or form,” he told @ChadPergram.

[Tyler Olson @TylerOlson1791]

Senate passes House’s short-term FISA 702 stopgap by voice vote. The program won’t go dark Monday night, but the issue remains on Congress’ plate as GOP leaders are looking to turn to reconciliation.

[Paul Conner @paconner]

"The United States Air Force is the oldest, the smallest, and the least ready in its 78-year history."

So write Air National Guard leaders who are seeking 72-100 new fighter jets annually from Congress.
