Democratic Sen. Coons on GOP criticisms of Biden: “Many of the folks who are the first to run to the cameras with forceful proposals for what the president has to do today, are the last to come to classified briefings and ask insightful questions.” https://t.co/wR3yKOhBY7 — PolitiTweet.org

@Olivia_Beavers @AndrewDesiderio Just Romney supported Trump's first impeachment. And majority of Senate Rs and many in House voted against bills with Ukraine aid. And, umm House members are saying things like this after speech: Mike Rogers: “I just hope it moves that senile devil we got in the White House.” — PolitiTweet.org

Before Zelenskyy spoke today, Republicans settled on their message: President Biden is responding too slowly. "Comparing Zelenskyy to Biden is depressing," McConnell said. Still, Rs' message comes with big baggage... https://t.co/wR3yKOhBY7 @Olivia_Beavers @AndrewDesiderio — PolitiTweet.org

You know who else was in that race that Trump didn’t support? Mo Brooks — PolitiTweet.org

There’s something about Alabama…Trump also endorsed Luther Strange, then said he only did so because he thought Roy Moore couldn’t win. After Strange lost, Trump ended up supporting Roy Moore, who also didn’t win. https://t.co/jDMSt1XPxz — PolitiTweet.org

I can't think of many who have aligned themselves more closely with Trump than Mo Brooks. He literally spoke at the Stop the Steal rally and told people to "start taking down names and kicking ass.” And Trump still might switch his endorsement! https://t.co/UStGi02sco — PolitiTweet.org

"Meanwhile, Trump said he is planning to endorse in Senate primaries in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Missouri" — PolitiTweet.org

Romney says he hasn't decided on whether he'll run again. But he immediately takes gloves off when it comes to Reyes "Were I to decide to run again, the best news I could get would be that Sean Reyes was my opponent." He laughed and then walked away — PolitiTweet.org

Grassley speaks from experience. McConnell never put his bill up for a vote; it split the Senate GOP. https://t.co/mJGWBLwZwp — PolitiTweet.org

"I wish somebody had taken Hitler out in the '30s. So yes, Vladimir Putin is not a legitimate leader, he is a war criminal. He needs to be dealt with by the Russian people ... I am asking the Russian people to rise up and end this reign of terror" — PolitiTweet.org

Graham says he still wants Putin assassinated: “if John McCain were here he’d be saying the same thing I think. It’s time for him to go” — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Sen. Rick Scott statement shows another Republican entertaining no-fly zone as an option: “President Biden needs to make a decision TODAY: either give Ukraine access to the planes and anti-aircraft defense systems it needs to defend itself, or enforce a no-fly zone" — PolitiTweet.org

There will be a classified briefing on Ukraine/Russia for Senate and committee leaders at 3:30 p.m., according to a Senate aide — PolitiTweet.org

Still appears to be a bipartisan consensus that a no-fly zone in Ukraine might provoke World War 3. GOP Sen. Capito says it's probably a "non-starter" and Dem Sen. Heinrich said "it makes a lot of sense right now to figure out how we can help the Ukrainians secure their skies" — PolitiTweet.org

I'm sure he has a lot to do, but Zelenskyy also did a good job keeping his presentation both emotional and to the point. The quick address is far more effective with members of Congress and Zelenskyy knew that — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Sasse before Zelenskyy speech: “More Stingers. More Javelins. More drones -- including Switchblades. More grenade launchers. More machine guns. More ammo. More surface-to-air missile defense systems -- SA-8s, SA-10s, and SA-11s. And, yes, more planes” — PolitiTweet.org

White House tries to avoid another nominee defeat as ICE pick Gonzalez teeters in Senate. At least 3 Democrats say they are undecided, and several requested that last week’s vote be pulled. At the moment there aren’t 50 votes. ⁦@marianne_levine⁩ https://t.co/nBbSNofHXg — PolitiTweet.org

Ending mask mandates on planes and transit nearly has a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Perhaps somewhat relatedly, senators people fly a lot, every week. — PolitiTweet.org

“It's great for Florida. They're in the right longitude and the right latitude. There's kids in Minnesota and Nebraska and Montana that are going to catch the school bus in the pitch dark. And I worry about that,” Wicker said. “We'll see…I hope it works out wonderfully.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) confirmed he had reservations about permanent DST for northern states that would ensure dark winter mornings under the legislation. But he said he ultimately decided “I'm not going to stand in the way.” https://t.co/0H0M2SW46L @AnthonyAdragna — PolitiTweet.org
