This one is breathtaking. Samford University in Birmingham canceled a speech by @jmeacham because (get out of the smelling salts) he had (gasp) appeared at a Planned Parenthood event. https://t.co/NyL1IE1qZ5 — PolitiTweet.org

A lovely online literary magazine has emerged from the pandemic. It's @JournalYear, except that a final "s" has now been added to "Year." I encourage you to take a look. And if you like it, please subscribe since it is a labor of love. https://t.co/yLbRQnYJHd — PolitiTweet.org

@mcbyrne @Lis_Smith You just made me remember Coakley's famous 2010 quote when asked about her failure to energetically campaign: "As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold? Shaking hands?” — PolitiTweet.org

@mcbyrne @Lis_Smith Cost the Democrats the 2010 opportunity to fix the glitches in the Affordable Care Act. Because of Scott Brown, the House had to rubber-stamp the flawed Senate version as Democrats lost their filibuster-proof majority. I'm an Eliz. Warren fan, but, Lordy, was the cost high. — PolitiTweet.org

@Lis_Smith How I remember Corzine 2009. You're totally right. But I think the VA and NJ shocks could have been handled if it were not for the fact that Martha Coakley ran the worst campaign of the 21st century. — PolitiTweet.org

There are many reasons to mourn today's failure to pass infrastructure and reach agreement on a Biden spending plan framework. But the absolutely weakest reason for a downcast mood is the fear that Biden is somehow ostracized by the Climate Summit by his failure to deliver today. — PolitiTweet.org

Today's non-Capitol Hill reading recommendation: @JillDLawrence has a fascinating column wondering if she was admitted to the University of Michigan because of a family legacy. It got me thinking since I too went to the U of M, as did my mother. https://t.co/jwqx0CmCHr — PolitiTweet.org

@pchowder That isn’t my point. I am not defending Manchin as a person. My concern is that Bernie a single senator from a tiny state is torpedoing the latest agreement on the Hill. — PolitiTweet.org

@pchowder Manchin represents the views of many on WV. Same for Bernie in VT. And the infrastructure bill that is being blocked is also widely popular. — PolitiTweet.org

Because the White House never prioritized all the moving parts, the entire political focus has been on the dollar figure. You can’t blame the press for Biden’s failure to clearly and firmly explain exactly what would be Built Back Better. — PolitiTweet.org

@NathanKalmoe @mirandayaver Your first problem is Article V of the Constitution which states, "No State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate." Try getting 38 states to agree to amend that out of existence. Personally, I think winning elections is a tad easier. — PolitiTweet.org

@BobBron1 You misunderstand. My problem is with all the endless skirmishing over reconciliation. I would love infrastructure to have passed a month ago. And I still don't see the wisdom in having held it hostage in the quest for $3.5 trillion. — PolitiTweet.org
