From India’s UN ambassador, a statement on why it abstained from the resolution condemning Russia’s aggression. One thing that stands out is the repeated use of passive voice (“the path of diplomacy was given up”) and refusal to identify the aggressor or opine on Russia/Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

Helluva moment at the UN. Russia presides over a security council resolution vote on condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine, and is the only country to vote no, vetoing it. 11 vote yes 3 abstain: China (!), India, UAE 👆 via @Abs_NBC — PolitiTweet.org

Yes NC is often close, yes it's an open seat this time, yes candidates matter, etc. But it's especially hard to see Democrats bucking these trends in what should historically be (and by all accounts so far is) a GOP-friendly election cycle. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer say KBJ is qualified and has been confirmed by the Senate before. “I hope there will be a good number of Republicans supporting her. I don't see any reason why there shouldn't be.” Ben Ray Lujan’s illness “will not stand in the way of us moving forward,” he says. — PolitiTweet.org

Cook Political Report shifts two Senate ratings toward the GOP. North Carolina goes from "toss up" to "lean Republican." Colorado goes from "solid Democrat" to "likely Democrat." https://t.co/Ymwq2994ck — PolitiTweet.org

Lisa Murkowski says she will "thoroughly vet" Ketanji Brown Jackson, and notes that her vote to confirm her to the DC Circuit "does not signal how I will vote for a Supreme Court justice." She calls SCOTUS confirmation "an incredibly high bar to achieve." https://t.co/Vr0fIkl1pA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe says he’ll retire at the end of 2022 in a letter to Oklahoma’s secretary of state. He endorses Luke Holland, his chief of staff, as successor. Inhofe, 87, will cut short the six-year term he won in 2020. This should be an easy GOP hold in deep-red Oklahoma. https://t.co/wNvsQu6vjW — PolitiTweet.org
