First thing that Liz Cheney had said that I disagree with: She said Trump ‘is not an impressionable child.” — PolitiTweet.org

From my @rollcall column: "While prominent Democrats silently pray that Biden will not run again...Trump supporters seem untroubled that the avatar of their warped dreams will be 82 in 2028." https://t.co/3DJnNWKNjX — PolitiTweet.org

From my @rollcall column: "For all the talk of prosecuting Trump...the Jan. 6 committee has been fulfilling a higher obligation. And that is making an ironclad case that Trump is unfit for any public office, including drain commissioner or county coroner." https://t.co/3DJnNWKNjX — PolitiTweet.org

@ChloDubs Alas, we're stuck with them until this damn pandemic ends. And these days, it's getting lonely wearing a mask at all on a plane or in other indoor settings. — PolitiTweet.org

@leejcaroll @FettermanLt Please understand that I am not starting rumors. I am quoting from a Washington Post piece that I linked to. — PolitiTweet.org

@leejcaroll @FettermanLt My tweet had a direct quote from the Washington Post piece. I know nothing independently other than the piece that just went up on the web. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChloDubs Have you tried these lighter and more comfortable N95s? A personal recommendation and not an ad: https://t.co/Yo0fI7WUCB — PolitiTweet.org

Scary PA Senate race fact: "Fetterman,..has been recovering from a stroke since mid-May. The Democrat has struggled to regain the ability to speak fluidly but is expected to resume campaign events in the coming weeks." https://t.co/CvU9WNWNVS — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs Never again will we get $18 seats behind the O's dugout. The tradeoff is worth it. — PolitiTweet.org

Among the anonymous allegations in British race to succeed Boris: “It has even been claimed that one of the contenders requests that staff deliver their government papers to them while they are in the bath.” — PolitiTweet.org

Favorite headline of the weekend: "Dirty dossiers on S&M and affairs as Tory rivals turn on each other." https://t.co/L87D2N4Xxf — PolitiTweet.org

@HelenKennedy Couldn’t they have picked non-chain restaurants like Morton’s and the ubiquitous Capital Grille. — PolitiTweet.org

From a terrific Diane McWhorter column for CNN: "Is a MAGA impostor less bad for the country than a MAGA believer or only more competent, like the Trumpists who did help overthrow the will of the American majority: his appointees to the Supreme Court." https://t.co/9sTgNmTEG5 — PolitiTweet.org

Saddest words from a clerk at the Hudson News at Norfolk Airport: “Nobody sells newspapers any more.” I guess it should be Hudson Non-News. — PolitiTweet.org

Wonderful bit from Boris' fall: "Johnson compared himself to Hiroo Onoda, the Japanese army officer who refused to surrender at the end of the Second World War. He did not emerge from hiding in the jungles of the Philippines until 29 years later." https://t.co/UHTwAfQX3D — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, today’s IRS revelations point to the ultimate conspiracy — Roger Stone created the Trump years to rehabilitate the reputation of Richard Nixon as a point of comparison. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs Well played. — PolitiTweet.org

More people have quit Boris Johnson's government in the last 24 hours than ever left the prior administration over four years of Trump's contempt for democracy, the Constitution and competence. — PolitiTweet.org

@Polioptics Thanks for the kind words on the piece that both you and I lived. — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to the oft-maligned NY legislature for pushing back against the Supreme Court decision on concealed weapons. For example, hand guns will only be allowed in stores if the store puts up a sign welcoming them. Good luck with that on the Upper West Side. https://t.co/yua1Rt81fQ — PolitiTweet.org

@kausmickey Here are 5 takeaways from your question: 1). Because it sounds impressive; 2). Because no one has time to read 10 takeaways; 3). Because it's a silly habit; 4). Because it's probably taught in business schools; and 5). Because people in a focus group once liked the number "5." — PolitiTweet.org

@SusanZakin If Alito and Thomas got their way, Moore v Harper would theoretically have allowed rogue GOP state legislatures in 2020 to throw out pro-Biden election returns and legally appoint Trump electors. Caveat: Everything I know about the law comes from watching "Perry Mason." — PolitiTweet.org
