24-14. 'The ayes have it," @RepJerryNadler closes 11-hour markup of George Floyd Justice In Policing Act. End of a long, emotional, partisan clash. House will pass its version late next week, as Senate votes on its plan. W/ @seungminkim @WPJohnWagner https://t.co/da1Qb6MOaX — PolitiTweet.org

@Phil_Mattingly @JeffPassan @JonHeyman @jmartNYT I wonder how many of our Twitter followers, looking to us for politics, think JMart got an interview with Lyndon B. Johnson. Which truly would be a better scoop than King James. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorLankford has thread needle better than most Senate Rs: Pushing GOP to remain "party of Lincoln", without drawing Trump's ire. On Saturday, he'll be in Tulsa, telling Trump about Reconciliation Park. Its message: "From tragedy to triumph." https://t.co/To8MeuPABy — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenTDennis @nielslesniewski @seungminkim @clairecmc @SenatorReid @hsanchez128 To mccaskill credit she actually forced a vote, kinda sorta on Reid as leader. No one recorded the tally. But a half dozen or so Dems actually told press after they voted no. That is closest Senate Dems have come to a leadership vote in more than 25 years. They never have races — PolitiTweet.org

Great @mikedebonis piece. Nita Lowey has served 32 years in House, Jose Serrano 30 years. Retiring from reliably liberal seats, they've left so much pent-up ambition, so many candidates, progressives are struggling to win. Mods could win 1 or 2. https://t.co/n2hK1gWBfU — PolitiTweet.org

@APAndrewTaylor @JakeSherman @BresPolitico @Phil_Mattingly To be clear, your adage, Andy, is that you have to have the "bad meeting" before you can have the "good meeting". How does this apply in a pandemic world of just Zooms, Teams, conference calls, without any real meeting? — PolitiTweet.org

About 4-5 times a week I go for a walk that includes the stairs behind Nats Park. This view today might be as close as I'll get to an MLB game in 2020. https://t.co/LXMhwI8lQL — PolitiTweet.org

Donald McNeil has a pretty radical (smart) idea: open windows on all subway cars, buses, to create air flow & knock down virus. Because mass transit is a) key to reopening & yet b) possible mass spreader. — PolitiTweet.org

Boz on MLB's deadlock: "What the devil is $20 million per team when the average team has been increasing in value by $173.5m per year?" It's stunning. Soccer has resumed in Italy, Spain and UK's Premier League starts Wednesday. Yet MLB remains shut. https://t.co/IKYRrvQJAj — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol: @SenSanders spent 11 weeks in quarantine. He’s plotting how to wield his influence. But, first, let’s discuss the quarantine: “I’m spending half my life on the telephone. It’s true. I got these goddamn earplugs in my ears right now!” https://t.co/flmvBe7TiX — PolitiTweet.org

"She would move on and never look back,” @marycjordan writes of Melania. Like so much about First Lady, it just leaves you wondering what happens post-White House. Amazing new book by Mary who's an amazing reporter and person. https://t.co/bjKjQsrwBe — PolitiTweet.org

@merryrutrick @SpeakerPelosi The lapel pin was a gift from @sfpelosi to Reid the night of the Dem debate in Vegas. I interviewed him the next day & he was still wearing it. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

This is good news: Harry Reid & his new doc tell me he is in "complete remission". He was about "to get hit by the Grim Reaper", he says, then he shifted to an experimental therapy. “The simple fact that you have cancer doesn’t mean you quit.” https://t.co/lXaKbbb4tv — PolitiTweet.org

@aljacksoniii @SpeakerPelosi That statue is on Senate side of Capitol. She’s less clout there. — PolitiTweet.org

At end Pelosi tried to refocus things on actual legislation (banning chokeholds & such), not symbolic fights over statues. “Let’s focus on the bill.” — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

At weekly presser @SpeakerPelosi suggests she has unilateral power to move statues of Confederate Prez & VP out of prestigious Statuary Hall & relegated to lower profile spot. “We start with a feather,” she says. She hopes for bipartisan agreement. — PolitiTweet.org
