White House announces Vice President Harris will be traveling to California on Friday and Wisconsin on Monday. Which means the Senate Democrats clearly have given up on the idea of grinding through Rule XIX into the weekend. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaker Pelosi says she hopes President Biden will "brag about" his record at today's press conference. "If he's too shy to, we'll help him with that message," says the Speaker. h/t @ESCochrane — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ProfStevenSmith: @nielslesniewski Ds don't have to give any speeches. — PolitiTweet.org

Niels Lesniewski @nielslesniewski

@ProfStevenSmith Also true. But I assume they all want to get their sound bytes in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Durbin is talking about the DREAM Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Democrats could move this along today by each Senate Democrats could try speaking for like 3 minutes, yielding the floor and then speaking for another 3 minutes, using up their own allotments of 2 speeches. https://t.co/hw3A2DN55o — PolitiTweet.org

We didn't win the seating lottery for today's presidential news conference, but I'm happy to share a couple of questions if anyone is curious. — PolitiTweet.org

And update: the cloture vote on the voting rights legislation will be at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. (So, also after the Biden press conference) — PolitiTweet.org

Lawmakers griping about needing to travel to the suburbs for food to avoid Washington’s new vaccination requirement won’t have to go far to get grub without proof of a jab. https://t.co/BQu9Q0M4Mw — PolitiTweet.org

I don't do nearly as much TV as I used to, but frankly this be one week I would have liked to see the booking request emails. https://t.co/eCDRZfEToj — PolitiTweet.org

I did request my household supply of COVID tests through the USPS, because I have enough now but who knows what the case may be by the time they're actually delivered. — PolitiTweet.org

Niels Lesniewski @nielslesniewski

My own instinct? If you actually ever did use up all the speeches, there would be some kind of wacky motion-to-table-a-rama. — PolitiTweet.org

Niels Lesniewski @nielslesniewski

Arguably, you don't need to change rules or precedents to invoke Senate Rule 19's limits on the number speeches on one topic during a legislative day. It's complicated, but I cited @jiwallner a bit here. https://t.co/eCDRZfEToj — PolitiTweet.org

Niels Lesniewski @nielslesniewski

Ah yes, the old two-speech rule. https://t.co/eCDRZfEToj — PolitiTweet.org

Colleagues in the congressional press: Would be great to ask the Senate Democrats if they even discuss the "two-speech rule" tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting to me that some statements from elected officials about the planned retirement of the WMATA CEO fail to mention that he did not have proper oversight to get ahead of the problem with the 7000 series train cars. — PolitiTweet.org

Folks who can't get the USPS COVID test ordering form to work: try going here and see how they officially structure your address. In my case, needed "Apt" even though technically it's not an apartment. (https://t.co/44Yh8qyKE7) — PolitiTweet.org
