It feels like a pattern. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know why but sitting here and watching this spectacle in Washington conjured up this image in my head https://t.co/o4xfluoHfn — PolitiTweet.org

Belated 80th birthday greetings to historian @DorisKGoodwin, a national treasure. Her books have brought some of our greatest presidents to life. Her warmth, ebullience & generosity of spirit is a joy to everyone she meets. Her only deficit? She roots for the wrong colored Sox! https://t.co/ADxFnElalE — PolitiTweet.org

@DougJones @UChiPolitics @HeidiHeitkamp Thank you, @DougJones. It is the generous contribution of time and wisdom of leaders like you that helps make @UChipolitics what it is! — PolitiTweet.org

Stemwinder from newly-elected Rep. James in nominating McCarthy...again, the latest entrant in a congressional version of America's Got Talent. Rate all seven of McCarthy's nominating speakers here. (Will revise as new rounds come.) — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On NEW #AxeFiles, @GovWhitmer shares lessons from governing a closely divided state-timely, especially given current mess in DC! "To get things done, I gotta put the votes together. You can ask Kevin McCarthy how important it is to be able to count votes!" https://t.co/fIfFoufGbM https://t.co/e0KvELUt8I — PolitiTweet.org

In the end, @GOPLeader may prevail. But if he does, it will come at a tremendous cost. The extraordinary concessions he will have to made to get the job will make it hardly worth having. He'll be more hostage than Speaker--and very likely a short-timer. https://t.co/y3k4NiieBc — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What else is there for McCarthy to give?!? His car? His coat? His first born? The guy has folded like a cheap suit and the answer, so far, continues to be "Thanks, but no thanks!" https://t.co/9zvMFU2dLo — PolitiTweet.org

Welcome, my friend! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What are the chances that the House @GOP members will come back after dinner and say, "Thank goodness we took a break to clear the air. The whole thing was all a terrible misunderstanding. We're good?" — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I've always said you're never as smart as you look when you win, and never as dumb as you look when you lose. That said, I, for the life of me, don't understand the strategy behind many of McCarthy's moves here. If there is one. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In fairness, @GOPLeader has now gotten over 1200 votes for Speaker, which is almost a modern record. (Second only to @RepJeffries, who has received even more!) — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

RT @Lillard_Lee: @davidaxelrod Can we implement Wordle rules on McCarthy? If you don’t get in 6 you lose? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If nothing else, millions of Americans are getting the opportunity to memorize the names of all the members of Congress in alphabetical order. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Striking image of @GOPLeader conferring intensely with his new lieutenant Majorie Taylor Greene, after he lost yet anither ballot for Speaker. If he could somehow navigate these straits, what does he say that she would be in his ear? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If McCarthyites move for another adjournment before talking another tally today, it will tell you everything about the amount of progress they think they've made overnight. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Seems to me that the threat of a fusion Speaker if the impasse continues is being fanned by the McCarthy camp tp scare the rebels into submission. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In a perfect bit of counterprogramming, @POTUS will dedicate a refurbished bridge today between OH and KY with a bipartisan group of leaders, including @LeaderMcConnell. Meanwhile, House @GOP continues to self-immolate. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Cleanup on aisle 3. — PolitiTweet.org

From "My Kevin" to "We'll see." Loyalty and losers are not high on Trump's priority list. https://t.co/WfExDVV7zJ — PolitiTweet.org

Makes me nervous that the airport take out place I just ordered from features this at the checkout counter: https://t.co/AccNgcF87Y — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Thank you for those kind words!! The opportunity to know these and many other students who today are out there making a difference in the world has been an incomparable gift! We set out to inspire them...but in the end, it is THEY who inspire us! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

A lot more swearing than swearings-in on the floor of the House today. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He may somehow pull this off yet, but you get the feeling that this McCarthy juggernaut may be a slowly melting glacier. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Wouldn't you like to read the thought box over Nancy Pelosi's head as she watches this spectacle unfold?!? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Among a series of miscalculations, it may be that McCarthy's decision to tap Jordan, who flashed his own leadership chops, to nominate him in the second round may turn out to be one of the most glaring. Just somehow made McCarthy look smaller. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

How ironic that the Freedom Caucus is holding the @GOP conference hostage. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

At some point, do McCarthy's friends come to him and say. "Dude, they're just not into you. Gotta move on!" — PolitiTweet.org
