Rep. Martha Fudge (OH), the HUD pick, with Rep. Cedric Richmond leaving for senior Biden administration job, makes it virtually impossible for Reps. Katie Porter (CA) and Deb Haaland (NM) to get tapped, too. Could basically leave House with 218 Dems, minimum for a majority. — PolitiTweet.org

With Dem Reps. Martha Fudge (Ohio) and Cedric Richmond (La.) headed to the Biden administration, that's really cutting it close in the House. Dems for a few months, awaiting special elections, could be down to 220 members, with 213 Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Watching again, it's clear Paul McCartney got a bad rap over his supposedly flippant response to John Lennon's death, 40 years ago tonight. PM is clearly in shock, and just processing the tragedy. People grieve in different ways. https://t.co/TeVyTIcW0f — PolitiTweet.org

Biden HHS pick Xavier Becerra led California's legal "resistance" to the Trump administration, as state AG. A big part of the reason he was appointed to the job to succeed Kamala Harris, in 2017. Could come up in Senate confirmation hearings, though unlikely politically fatal. — PolitiTweet.org
