Senate Democrats hold a 8:46 moment of silence, in Emancipation Hall of the Capitol. ⁦@CoryBooker⁩ led the ceremony, standing next to statue of Frederick Douglas. https://t.co/a8wUpbdBXx — PolitiTweet.org

No, Senate Rs aren't breaking from Trump over handling of "law and order", clearing Lafayette Park. But many Rs are acknowledging police brutality in ways they didn't after Ferguson/Baltimore. "Senseless murder," one said of George Floyd. https://t.co/wQOWoUSJoX — PolitiTweet.org

I hate that you can't edit tweets. The to/today thing is so obvious. It's such a dumb thing. I realize @Twitter is involved in bigger fights now, but now is precise exact moment to drop a change like editing tweets, amid all other noise and everyone will adjust. — PolitiTweet.org

5 years ago yesterday Beau Biden succumed today brain cancer. This was our A1 story 5 years ago today, and something rings true, no matter your politics or station in life: “Reality has a way of intruding.” https://t.co/MfRyKU6fXP — PolitiTweet.org

Please, everyone, listen: We have plenty of tests in DC. Months ago, we didn't have enough tests. Now, our problem now is not enough people getting tested. "We've got to get the word out," DC health official tells @stevesthompson https://t.co/DDitBB4XFv — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t say enough about “Imperfect,” @E60 doc on Roy “Doc” Halladay. Greatest righty Phillie pitcher ever. We are in dark times, but we can’t forget addiction. 45,000-plus died of opioid OD in 2017. Thousands more, like Roy, died indirectly from it. https://t.co/5pAuwupfE2 — PolitiTweet.org

@pvolpe @hillhulse Even I’m not as old as Carl! My best DC-filming-spotted was seeing Bradley/“Josh Lyman” sitting on a curb outside Mayflower at peak of West Wing filming. — PolitiTweet.org

@thepugdc @frates @karentravers @anacaprana That was pretty dumb. I watched 2 minutes of it and turned it off. Not sure if it ever got funny. — PolitiTweet.org

The Bres thread here is a good tick-tock of a House truism, R or D majority: better not to go to floor & lose the vote. Generally speaking, once members vote no, it’s harder to flip them later to yes. So you punt instead, buy time. — PolitiTweet.org

King, in office since 1993, served 8 years with Scarborough. Gaetz, who was 19 at the time, now holds Scarborough's old seat. He's giving voice to conspiracy theories that the medical examiner might have been crooked to help Scarborough. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Trump again splits Rs: “To me, it’s out of bounds, that’s all.... There’s no evidence." @RepPeteKing "There was a lot of focus on that medical examiner, and it's not something that I've seen in a lot of the more recent discussion of those facts." @RepMattGaetz — PolitiTweet.org

... Soon after other Democrats went to the podium to begin casing proxy votes on behalf of fellow Democrats. The roll call came on a resolution denouncing China's treatment of its Uyghur ethnic minority in its northwest Xinjiang region. — PolitiTweet.org

For those keeping House nerd history: At 4:35 p.m. Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) cast 1st every proxy vote. After voting electronically himself, Boyle then stepped to podium and announced he would vote yes for Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.). .... — PolitiTweet.org

When Hoyer's speech ended, @SpeakerPelosi quietly clapped saying "very good, very good". Not often Steny plays knife wielder. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Little House floor scene: @LeaderHoyer firing away with (for him) unusually partisan speech about proxy voting. He's been looking right at @RepChipRoy, who spoke against proxy just before. A few rows back @SpeakerPelosi hanging on every word, even chuckling as SHH digs the Rs. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Great @michaelscherer piece: Trump's anti-mask bravado gets lip service from most Republicans. They don't wear them around POTUS - but wear them all the time otherwise. In Capitol, overwhelming majority of Rs wear masks. As do all GOP staff. https://t.co/7Ch2VNI1nd — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, once the presser ended she walked over to us and while Scott was asking about masks, she answered that Q and then without prompting went into Trump-Scarborough. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Hoyer’s contention - strongest pushback to GOP opposition to proxy voting that I’ve heard - is that Senate passes overwhelming amount of its work by a different form of proxy: unanimous consent and voice votes. Senate approved $2.2tr Cares Act with just handful on hand. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Hoyer focusing on committee work next few weeks to because House needs "product" to vote on: approps bills, WRDA, highway. Forcefully pushes back on McConnell's mocking House proxy rules: “They use proxy voting in the Senate all the time." https://t.co/QBca2e5Nlf — PolitiTweet.org
