FWIW, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) is now the 1,985th senator ever. Should hit 2,000 by January 2025, when senators elected in 2024 take office. Possibly earlier depending on political outcomes in 2022 and other changes in membership. https://t.co/z520njA2XF — PolitiTweet.org

So ends the era of chilly coexistence between Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D) and now-former Sen. Martha McSally (R). The pair had one of the worst same-state senator relationships in decades. Sinema appeared on-camera in a cutting ad against McSally. https://t.co/f9adcs6RrP — PolitiTweet.org
