MSNBC has a banner headline up: "BREAKING NEWS: Republican Sen. McConnell says there is agreement on tax rates."
There's not even a story to click through to at this time. Don't know what this means. Just a weather advisory.
Edit: NRO has a story up saying McConnell has said "pass the tax rate portion now."
From NRO [I'm quoting NRO!!!!]:
But first, he’d like the Senate to vote on the tax aspect of the deal as soon as possible. “I can report we’ve reached an agreement on all of the tax issues,” he said. “Let’s pass the tax relief portion now.”
Now, CNN has
this.
