Jan. 20-27 — 50 years ago — was among the newsiest weeks in decades before or since. Jan. 20 — President Richard Nixon's second inauguration. Jan. 22 — Ex-President LBJ dies. Jan. 22 — Roe v. Wade ruling. Jan. 27 — Paris Peace Accords signed, ending U.S. role in Vietnam War. — PolitiTweet.org

With all newly-elected governors now inaugurated, Republicans hold 26 chief executive posts, to 24 for Democrats. Another example of the uber-divided American electorate, with a 51-49 Democratic majority Senate, and, effectively, a 222-213 Republican-controlled House. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) is, so far, the third House member to run for Senate in 2024. Along with Reps. Alex Mooney (R-WV) and Katie Porter (D-CA). — PolitiTweet.org

There actually is a House member who was a legitimate college volleyball star, as Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) has falsely claimed about himself. Rep. @JaredHuffman (D-Calif.), at UC Santa Barbara in the mid-1980s, was a three-time All-American volleyball player. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlexCVassar Must be part of a broader style on how to count interrupted time in executive vs. legislative office. Grover Cleveland is officially the 22nd and 24th president. While former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is considered the "52nd speaker," despite two different stints. — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin McCarthy (R) following Nancy Pelosi (D) is the first time a House speaker has succeeded one from the same state, California. Though McCarthy's Bakersfield-area district couldn't be more different than Pelosi's San Francisco. https://t.co/0ORiOaxXUt — PolitiTweet.org

Under normal House rules, photos on the floor wouldn't be permitted. Lawmakers have previously been admonished over it. But they're all still representatives-elect, due to the lack of a speaker. So regular House rules aren't in place yet. https://t.co/bk4QV5qwyn — PolitiTweet.org

These repeated roll call votes for House speaker are, at least, a good way to learn the names of new lawmakers. There are 74 House freshmen in the 118th Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

This is by far the most House voice roll call votes since the chamber moved to electronic voting on Jan. 23, 1973. Usually, it's only the single vote for a speaker on the opening day of Congress. This is decidedly not, at roll call #4 and counting. https://t.co/A4ZvhXliSO — PolitiTweet.org

Kentucky-to-Ohio Brent Spence Bridge named after late Rep. Brent Spence (D-KY), in office 1931-63. The New Deal stalwart chaired Banking and Currency Committee. Did not sign the 1956 Southern Manifesto. But was far from perfect, opposing the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the less-heralded winners in the 1994 Republican Revolution, which emphasized devolution of power to the states. But a huge win (and reelection) in one of the nation's bluest states. "Former Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Almond dies" https://t.co/rE4lX1diUs via @projo — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) is the 2,000th senator in history. Notable if ultimately trivial. Along the lines of Bob Watson scoring Major League Baseball’s millionth run, playing for the Houston Astros, in 1975. https://t.co/z520njA2XF — PolitiTweet.org

Likewise. Some of the people won primaries in safe red and blue districts going back to March 2022. After that, you hardly ever heard of them again until Opening Day in the House. https://t.co/bfZnAPVfn4 — PolitiTweet.org
