DC is starting a "ticket amnesty" program today that goes thru Sept. 30 -- you only have to pay the base fine, not additional fees. Great news for those of us who seem to never receive the camera tickets until second notice, when they've conveniently doubled. — PolitiTweet.org

@AsteadWesley (White) Ohioan here. Even my questionable Ohio relatives do not "love" the confederate flag. What a reductive take on multiple levels. — PolitiTweet.org

Kyrsten Sinema doesn't feel the need to explain herself. But should she? She faces a much different political landscape in AZ than fellow Senate moderate Manchin (who is also more explanatory) does in WV. https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

But that's a calculation that could haunt her when she's up for re-election in 2024. More than one liberal-leaning political activist in Arizona told me they would not be knocking on doors or making calls for Sinema this time around. https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Sinema's approach —being unavailable to liberal constituents but meeting with industry groups— is costing her Democratic support. She doesn't see them as critical to her success, and caters to independent and crossover voters, many in her orbit told me. https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

This is first time in Sinema's career she's in the majority. During her early years, she decided to stop being a bomb thrower & work with Rs to get things done. She's still working with Rs. But Ds worry she's poised to throw bombs at THEIR policies. https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org

But, Sinema has shown no sign of softening on changing the filibuster, which requires 60 votes to pass most all legislation, including voting rights. Someone sho has known her for many years told me if she WERE to change her mind, it would be for this. https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Sinema is a critical moderate vote in an evenly split Senate, and Democrats need her to pass key pieces of Biden’s agenda. Schumer has said in June they will take up a sweeping voting-rights bill for which Sinema was an original cosponsor. https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

A lot of it comes down to style. The reality is, Sinema does not feel the need to explain herself, her decisions, or her actions. Labor leaders and liberal activists in her state cannot get an audience, they told me, or even know which staffer to contact. https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

It's similar, in style, to Sinema's vote in March on the minimum wage proposal. She was lambasted for the thumbs down and the curtsy, but never explained that she was acknowledging the Senate staff who had to read the bill overnight ahead of the vote: https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org

Kyrsten Sinema was one of several senators who missed the 1/6 commission vote last week, then, without saying why she missed it, put out a release that it was a "critical step." Why would she handle it like this? A 🧵: https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org
