Before the Soviet Union dissolved on Dec. 25, 1991, the final former USSR "republic" to achieve independence was Kazakhstan, on Dec. 16. The first had been Lithuania, back on March 11, 1990. Baltic neighbors Latvia and Estonia followed within two months. — PolitiTweet.org

Have you ever watched the “Star Wars Holiday Special”? The 1978 television special is widely considered the low point of the "Star Wars" franchise. — PolitiTweet.org

@MatthewWallack Marshall's 1913-21 tenure was arguably the nadir of the vice-presidency. Particularly during Woodrow Wilson's second term when the president was deeply ill and the VP was effectively kept in the dark. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) is the 19th House member not seeking reelection in 2022 or running for another office. Fifteen are Democrats and four Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

Doesn't get as much attention as the Dingell political dynasty in Michigan, but the retirement of Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) will be the end of an era. LBA's father Rep. Edward R. Roybal preceded her in Congress from 1963 to 1993. So, 60 years overall for the family in D.C. — PolitiTweet.org

The 1999 Newt Gingrich-to-Johnny Isakson succession in GA06 was arguably the biggest change in partisan tone, personal comportment, and demeanor, in modern political history between same-party members. GOP Rep. Isakson succeeded House Speaker Gingrich in suburban Atlanta seat. — PolitiTweet.org

More of this, please. Mutual respect across the aisle and chamber, despite deep policy and political differences. Sadly, both lawmakers from Georgia — Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson and Democratic Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights hero — are now gone. https://t.co/7dOZ3JJveG — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic @Elex_Michaelson interview with ex-CA Gov. Jerry Brown. Topics include 4-term gov's 1976 WH bid, which I missed in a previous tweet. Forty-five years later he's clearly proud of beating Jimmy Carter in MD Dem primary. Well worth the listen! https://t.co/mOzYTAhV2R — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D), eyeing a run in VA07, would join a small group of House members who moved far away in-state and won. Also: Ex-Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.), who represented a Long Beach-based seat, and later held an exurban Sacramento seat hundreds of miles away. — PolitiTweet.org
