@Uncrewed Kind of an ancestral Blue Dog. His old district was in far northern California, along the Oregon line. It's traditionally politically split between environmentalists and logging supporters. But his current Napa Valley district is deep blue, with Biden hammering Trump 73%-25%. — PolitiTweet.org

@JimNPol @ElectionMapsCo The one red judicial circuit roughly overlaps with the House district of GOP Rep. Andy Harris. Though the 1st Congressional District stretches further west along the Pennsylvania line, through Harford County. — PolitiTweet.org

House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (Wyo.) could be the second straight vice-presidential kin whose House career ended relatively quickly. Ben Quayle, son of ex-VP Dan Quayle, was a House member 2011-13 but lost to fellow GOP Rep. David Schweikert in the 2012 primary. — PolitiTweet.org

@WakeUp2Politics Jan. 8 was arguably the end of the Trump phenomenon as we knew it. Banned from Twitter that night, and with McConnell holding impeachment over his head, POTUS 45 was largely restrained for the last 11-plus days in office and his post-presidency. Though we'll see. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Charlie Crist, if he wins his 2022 Florida gubernatorial comeback bid, will be among a small group of pols to be a statewide officeholder as an R, D and independent ("non-affliated in Florida lingo.) Also Wayne Morse of Oregon, a senator 1945-69 who went from R to I to D. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois is one of the few states where Democrats have control over the redistricting process. It's losing a seat, and the retirement of Rep. Cheri Bustos could ease things for fellow Democrats. Though Dem Reps. Lauren Underwood or Bill Foster might need to move east a bit. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Cheri Bustos is the fifth House member to announce retirement after the 2022 elections. Also: Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Texas) — PolitiTweet.org

President Joe Biden mentioned First Lady Jill Biden's community college teaching career. Here are reviews at https://t.co/fM2UUcarIm. https://t.co/moR6Ec7HjL — PolitiTweet.org

Biden refers to "Democrat or Republican voters." Usually "Democrat" rather than "Democratic" is a subtle Republican put-down. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

Biden declares there is "no quit in America" as he begins joint address to Congress. Quite a change from a SOTU address he attended in his first term as a Delaware senator, in 1975 when President Gerald Ford said, "I must say to you that the state of the Union is not good." — PolitiTweet.org

The first rebuttal to a presidential address to Congress was in 1966 when Senate Minority Leader Senator Everett Dirksen (R-Ill.) and House Minority Leader Gerald Ford (R-Mich.) appeared on TV to offer a response to Democratic President Lyndon Johnson's State of the Union speech. — PolitiTweet.org
