@markzbarabak @jmartNYT Here is the best commentary ever on George Murphy's political career: https://t.co/R0EJWpOaJv — PolitiTweet.org

@jmartNYT @markzbarabak Tom Lehrer about Murphy: "At last we have a senator who can sing and dance." — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone -- especially those of us on the East Coast -- should read this terrific column before we write a single word taking Jenner seriously as a gubernatorial candidate. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThirdWayMattB @GoldsmithB @dhbennettsu @washingtonpost I know I'm not the first to mount the barricades for this cause, although I initially wrote about it in 2017. But I'm hoping the mood in 2021 will be more receptive. Problem with naming the building for Ted Kennedy is that would make two Senate office buildings honoring liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

@dcg1114 I know. It's what caused me to hesitate for a moment before writing the original response. But the map changes over time. I bet most people don't know that the GOP carried NJ and CT in 1988. Or that Bill Clinton carried MT but not VA in 1992, which, admittedly, was a 3-way race. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@dcg1114 Of course, the Democrats have carried NV in the last four presidential elections. Unlike the Blue Wall states that Hillary lost. — PolitiTweet.org

Most amazing detail from the Census Bureau press conference. Had 89 more New Yorkers been counted, the state would have an extra seat in the House. Eighty-nine people. This is the Census equivalent of the 2000 election. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
For those keeping score at home, there are slightly more than 68 times more people in California than in Wyoming, according to the new Census. — PolitiTweet.org

I am sorry that the Times is abandoning the title "Op-Ed" and opting instead for "Guest Essay." While I appreciate the paper's desire to purge "clubby newspaper jargon," as a member of this particular club, I also deeply mourn the passing of Op-Ed. https://t.co/xf44JVPkes — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman Carter also was one of the eulogists at Russell's funeral. But Russell was more than a creature of his times -- he was also a create of certain place. And that place for longing for the Lost Cause rural Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
In 1964, John Stennis wrote Russell to say that without his adroit leadership, "A strong civil rights bill would have been passed—at least one with major provisions—as early as 1948 … or certainly soon after the unprecedented Supreme Court decision of 1954.” Such a legacy. — PolitiTweet.org

@mseyfang I didn’t think we could have two liberal Democrats on buildings and Dole is still alive, which is how I ended up with McCain. — PolitiTweet.org

@Mglo Wrote that piece last week. It is what reminded me about Russell’s loathsome record. — PolitiTweet.org

I am not for renaming everything or yanking every statue off its pedestal. But there are names that are flagrantly inappropriate. And this one is a major example. — PolitiTweet.org

@MelindaKCMO At your encouragement, I just posted another one from the RNC. — PolitiTweet.org

No chance that 280 characters are enough for me to provide a full and frank answer to the email question that I was just asked by the RNC: "You haven't signed Melania Trump's birthday card? Why is that?" Well, it's a long story... — PolitiTweet.org

Subject line from an email from the Republican National Committee: "Is this a mistake? You never renewed." Short answer: "No, it isn't a mistake. In fact, I never joined in the first place." — PolitiTweet.org

@opinion_joe @mattizcoop There is a joke about a large tax bite in here somewhere fighting to get out. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@mattizcoop I assume "Damn Yankees" is designed to maximize the vote in Queens and Brooklyn. And with casinos being pushed for NYC, don't forget a revival of "Guys and Dolls." And "Sweeney Todd" is the perfect choice to mobilize the anti-vegan vote. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@mattizcoop Definitely. Though I would have impressed with someone who had swooned over Katrina Lenk in "The Band's Visit" in an effort to get the secular Jewish vote. Or gone with "Fun Home" in an effort to solidify gay support. — PolitiTweet.org

Most answers were the kind of answers that a tourist from Topeka would give like "Hamilton" and "Wicked," which are Andrew Yang favorites. Points go to Maya Wiley ("The Color Purple") and Ray McGuire ("Fences") for giving answers that suggest that they actually go the theater. — PolitiTweet.org

@ktumulty Southern Democrats, led by Richard Russell, opposed both states because they assumed that there would be four more Senate votes (regardless of party) to cut off an anti-civil-rights filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@katieglueck Nancy Pelosi has begged Biden not to appoint any more House members to his administration because even a safe seat remains vacant until there's a special election. No chance that Demings would give up a House seat in early 2022 and jeopardize Pelosi's working majority. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@dceiver At his best -- and I use the word 'best" very advisedly -- Halperin, whom I have known since the1992 Clinton campaign, had one of the most conventional understandings of politics imaginable. Imagine "Morning Joe" during Cliche Week. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@loisbeckett @Bencjacobs Nope. The alt-right joke is pretty good. Workshopping will only suck the life out of it. — PolitiTweet.org
