House Judiciary Committee will mark up a package of new gun violence prevent laws today. The full House will vote on it next week, @SpeakerPelosi says. She adds: "we will be having a hearing and marking up the assault weapons ban following all of that." https://t.co/DgCoyS2z0h — PolitiTweet.org

.@ChrisMurphyCT writes in Fox News about the 2nd Amendment: "But I also believe that like every constitutional right, there are limits. I don't believe the Constitution protects the right of criminals or people with serious mental illness to own weapons." https://t.co/kac1HSfYSo — PolitiTweet.org

In the Senate, growing optimism about a gun deal. "There is a framework for a bill," says one source. Susan Collins: "rapid progress." Blumenthal: "productive and encouraging" The group has broken into subgroups working on different parts of a bill. https://t.co/T71JWFQY47 — PolitiTweet.org

“Similarly, pro-Trump commentators have repeatedly stoked expectations that Mr. Durham would soon charge some of Mr. Trump’s perceived enemies with a conspiracy to do him wrong. But after more than three years, he has offered only insinuations.” https://t.co/3sjEnSMI4p — PolitiTweet.org

Fun fact: Texas was bluer than Ohio and Iowa in 2020! Trump won TX by 5.6 points; he won OH/IA by ~8 each. — PolitiTweet.org

Iowa’s evolution from purple to red is one factor weighing on the @DNC as it decides whether to preserve or end its special status as the first presidential nominating contest every four years; i.e. is that the best state to put the bulk of candidates’ time and energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Obama winning Iowa twice (1) is pretty wild and (2) seems like ancient history. The state has since tipped quite comfortably into the GOP column. 2016: Trump+9.4 2020: Trump+8.2 — PolitiTweet.org

Have the errors of 2020 been addressed? Ohio polls were a disaster in the last election. Final RCP average was Trump+1. Last batch of polls via 538 👇. Final result: Trump won by 8.1 points. https://t.co/3SfFYlHxqI — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell in KY on gun violence negotiations: “What I've done is encouraged some bipartisan discussions…to see if we can find a way forward consistent with the 2nd Amendment that targets the problem.” He says the problem is “mental illness and school safety.” (h/t @JulieNBCNews) — PolitiTweet.org
