"It's not fair to the taxpayers of Florida. We sit here, we live within our means, and then New York, Illinois, California and other states don't. And we're supposed to go bail them out? That's not right," GOP Sen. Rick Scott tells poolers of sending more money to states — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Biden pick will be historic, yet happening under the radar It doesn’t compare to the “oh my goodness” moment when Walter Mondale picked Ferraro in 1984, said former Sen. Heitkamp "People see women on the stage and the more that happens, the more normalized that becomes,” — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Home state Sens making their case Smith (Minn.) on Klob: “She’d make a terrific vice president, she’s seasoned … but most importantly she has the capacity to be president.” Rosen (Nev.) on CCM: "I cannot think of anyone better to become the first female vice president" — PolitiTweet.org

1984 was last time Dems picked a non-senator as VP pick. And Biden often still acts like he's in the Senate Dem Caucus. Our look at the half dozen women senators in the mix: Warren, Harris, Klobuchar, Baldwin, Duckworth + Cortez Masto @marianne_levine https://t.co/fZ31KcKM8N — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Sasse: "It’s one thing to run a deficit during a pandemic, but Washington’s long-term debt habit is suicidal ... maxed out the credit cards during good times and now, when we’re in the middle of the coronavirus’ health and economic crises, we’re facing a bleak future" — PolitiTweet.org

A ton of really, really dire projections in here. We are only starting to come around to what the coronavirus has done to the economy in the medium term — PolitiTweet.org

"the unemployment rate is projected to decline to 9.5 percent by the end of 2021. Under that projection, the unemployment rate at the end of 2021 would be about 6 percentage points higher than the rate in CBO’s economic projection produced in January 2020" — PolitiTweet.org

"For fiscal year 2020, CBO's early look at the fiscal outlook shows the following: The federal budget deficit is projected to be $3.7 trillion. Federal debt held by the public is projected to be 101 percent of GDP by the end of the fiscal year." https://t.co/ZtbqjUODxz — PolitiTweet.org

This is amazing "Trump used the word 'inject,' but what he meant was using a process — which he left 'medical doctors' to define — in which patients’ lungs might be cleared of the virus, given new knowledge about its response to light and other factors" https://t.co/LpWuktt7fk — PolitiTweet.org

@sarahnferris Rs are drawing a red line around this issue Sen. Cotton: “There are a lot of Democratic senators who want a no strings attached bailout for their states because of imprudent fiscal decisions in the past. And obviously we’re not going to agree to that" — PolitiTweet.org

@sarahnferris McConnell, of course, has also suggested bankruptcy rather than sending $ to states “Did he actually say those words?” asked a stunned Sen. Murray. “The world is upside down.

Here's Sinema and Romney's letter to Redfield https://t.co/1Zb6xtvO1x And yes, I asked about Romney being left off the Trump congressional task force on economy “Oh, I don’t worry about those things,” he said — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Romney doesn't blame Redfield or even the Trump admin. But it's plain how worried he is “Here we are at the end of April, we’ve had this now for a quarter of a year or longer and we’re still not quite certain who is getting impacted and why,” — PolitiTweet.org

In interview, Romney says he pressed Redfield on data and he couldn't provide it. "Struck me as the kind of thing that I would have expected from the 1960s ... We have one eye closed and the other eye is clouded over instead of having a clear, real time dashboard" of U.S. — PolitiTweet.org
