Chuck Schumer says he's aiming to pass the Senate gun bill "before the day is out." This is actually plausible because the chamber is on the brink of a two-week recess. It'd require Republicans to consent to an earlier vote. (Procedural vote to end debate is this morning.) — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s approval is a dismal 36% in this PA poll, yet the top ticket Ds lead Two theories: 1) A chunk of Biden disapproval is from D-leaners who want him to do more 2) Prez approval is less significant to modern elections as many voters would never consider the other party — PolitiTweet.org

Helluva journey for Brooks. In the 2017 Trump endorsed Luther Strange in the three-way race, passing over Brooks, which led to credibly accused child molester Roy Moore winning the GOP primary. In ‘22 race Trump endorsed Brooks, then unendorsed him, and ultimately backed Britt. — PolitiTweet.org
