@GUPolitics Growing up in Southern California, the L.A. radio host Michael Jackson (the entertainer is a different type of Twitter thread.) He could pivot seamlessly from topics, but specialized in in-depth interviews with elected officials, journalists, and others in the public realm. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrat wins Orange County, Calif., supervisor seat vacated by GOP Rep. Michelle Steel. Narrows GOP edge to 3-2 in historically Republican stronghold, and signals the kind of bottom-up political structure needed to build enduring Dem strength locally. https://t.co/RE2Z81nRG8 — PolitiTweet.org

Big win for Dems in Orange County, Calif. After historic 2018 House gains, party backslid with two losses in historically GOP stronghold. But this signals grassroots support "Katrina Foley wins race to replace Steel on Orange County Board of Supervisors" https://t.co/RE2Z81nRG8 — PolitiTweet.org

The death of Sally Atwater comes almost exactly 30 years after the passing of Lee Atwater, on March 29, 1991. The couple married in 1978, two years before moving to D.C. to join the Reagan administration. He won fame and infamy for hard-edged tactics on behalf of Bush 41. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the kind of car smash-up common in — fictional — 1980s L.A.-based police and detective series like "Hunter" and "Moonlighting". (A year of the pandemic makes for good binge-watching of long-ago shows.) https://t.co/znpj8yx3eM — PolitiTweet.org

@LarrySabato I wonder if that's an underrated reason that contributed to the defeat of then-Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.). When he mocked the name of Kamala Harris — then a Senate colleague and a putative vice president. — PolitiTweet.org

@Uncrewed @SenhorRaposa @im_sorry_wtf Two former senators have lost their seats. Sen. Harrison Schmitt (R-N.M.), who lost after a single term in 1982. And Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), who flew in the space shuttle as a House member, lost in 2018 after three terms. — PolitiTweet.org

An Eric Greitens (R) MO Senate bid could go a couple of ways. The Trump 2016 WH route, shameless about scandal and running successfully against "the establishment." Or ex-NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D), who flamed out and lost 2013 comeback bid, for NYC comptroller. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) will be the rare senator who spent more time in the House. Blunt was a House member 1997-2011 (14 years) and will end his career as a senator from 2011-2023 (12 years). — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@JeffSmithMO Point taken on "owning it." "Willing to be shameless about it" is a better description. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@JeffSmithMO Though I wonder if Greitens is politically inoculated at this point. The worst already has been said about him, and if he's willing to own it, could make for a Trumpian anti-establishment candidacy. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) is the fifth senator not run in 2022. He joins GOP Sens. Richard Burr (N.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Richard Shelby (Ala.) and Pat Toomey (Pa.). Additionally since Jan. 3. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) resigned to become VP, and Kelley Loeffler (R-Ga.) lost. — PolitiTweet.org

What is the political future of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D)? — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@JeffSmithMO Could Senate Republicans still block H.R. 1 under such modified rules? It would no doubt be more time-consuming and uncomfortable, but if there's any piece they're going to do whatever is necessary to stop, it's H.R. 1. — PolitiTweet.org

A good day for New York. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D), the Democratic majority leader. A bad day for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). To put it mildly. — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 It was a scandal with Texas Republicans did it in 2003. But at a time of a 50-50 Senate and almost narrow-as-possible House, may become the norm in politics going forward. — PolitiTweet.org

@tomlobianco And they're written in tweet-bite nuggets. Most paragraphs could fit into a single 280-character tweet, or two at most. Each is self-contained with its own message. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate vote to advance the Biden administration's COVID-19 $1.9 trillion stimulus bill was the third tie-breaker for Vice President Kamala Harris. Mike Pence, who cast 13 tie-breaking votes in his four-year term, reached #3 on March 30, 2017. https://t.co/5RfRf7jN3J — PolitiTweet.org
