@jmartNYT Wish you’d been at WaPo convention space in Philly 4 years ago when @davidmaraniss @LeaderHoyer spent 20 mins reliving the 1978 MD Gov’s race. And the ‘92 redistricting that led to the Hogan Jr race that year. — PolitiTweet.org

@ESCochrane Sorry to be the old-guy reporter here, but Portman has been a (smart, it turns out, and flexible) germaphobe for years. I saw him use an elbow to call elevator, and once inside use his knee to hit the precise floor button, about 2-3 years ago. Impressive. — PolitiTweet.org

@jmartNYT Add to them, via a different path, DeWine & Hogan. DeWine could’ve packed up for K Street after getting blown out by Sherrod in ‘06. Hogan got blown out by Steny in ‘92. All 4 now pretty popular Govs. — PolitiTweet.org

Updated figures: at least 173 covid-related doc requests sent to Trump admin since early March. Almost all ignored or not responded to - it’s like Russia/Ukraine probes, deja vu all over again, as Yogi would say. — PolitiTweet.org

@AndrewDesiderio @Phil_Mattingly Just reminiscing 2 days ago with @jmartNYT @sissenberg about how JRoll was supposed to lead off Arlen’s final 2010 rally at the Bank. He couldn’t make it because he’d just been reactivated from DL and needed BP. Now, he’s doing event w/ Toomey. Arlen rolling over in grave. — PolitiTweet.org

House Dems face historic roadblock on CV19 o'sight: 156 letters ignored, 9 requests rejected for senior cabinet types to appear at hearing/briefing. Pelosi threatens funds & others say Biden will do the same to Rs: "Don't expect comity ... to return." https://t.co/kIIOQEfHlU — PolitiTweet.org

Or is it 'doggy doo'? — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Pelosi goes from comparing Trump to child who always gets "doggie doo" on his shoes, to explaining what a "confabulator" is. Her weekly presser is forcing multiple google searches. (Yes, I googled 'doggie doo' for spelling. And 'confabulator' for definition.) — PolitiTweet.org

A ⁦@mikedebonis⁩ scoop: House Dems land HHS watchdog who exposed hospital shortage for testimony next week. https://t.co/lAUxex3tDt — PolitiTweet.org

Almost as improbable, a moderate-ish R backed by the GOP Main St super PAC actually won primary to replace retiring Rep. Walden. It's in very conservative eastern Washington. Club & Pro-Life groups backed another candidate. https://t.co/ujgAukfUCs — PolitiTweet.org

4 years ago @marcorubio had been knocked out of WH race & wasn't running for re-elect. He'd get into late-night tweet fights over whether he hated the Senate. Today, he holds 2 chairman's gavels, Small Business & Intel, next in line to chair Foreign Relations. What a place! — PolitiTweet.org

Rubio got a waiver to chair both Intel and Small Business, McConnell says at presser following Trump lunch. — PolitiTweet.org

@jmartNYT @BobBradyPHL @sissenberg @MikeMadden @Mulhauser @JoshShapiroPA @JohnnyDocPhilly Arlen’s last event, in a drizzle outside Citizens Bank Park, was supposed to have Jimmy Rollins lead off and Rendelll close. Rollins couldn’t make it because he got activated from DL & was in BP. And the Gov got stuck in traffic. @sissenberg fact check me. — PolitiTweet.org

I wrote about this last month, and now it continues to hold: More Americans approve of Congress than anytime since 2009. Only 31% approve, but that's way up from 17% average last decade. And 80% approve of $2.2 trillion Cares Act. https://t.co/PF1KEbkPCz — PolitiTweet.org

There’s literally 3-4 minuses left in a 10-hour documentary. Are they never going to acknowledge that MJ played for the Wizards??? Hahahahaha hah. #LastDance — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Given how the Isiah Pistons treated losing to the Bulls in '91 and refused to shake hands, Karl Malone actually walked on to the Bulls team bus, after losing 2 straight finals, shook every Bull hand. Damn, that's class. #LastDance — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

The 2 Bulls-Jazz series, no matter the star power of those HOF'ers in the game, were the lower point of NBA fun. Teams barely hit 90 points. #LastDance — PolitiTweet.org

@mattsgorman I randomly met Hornacek, in Orrin Hatch's office about 19-20 years ago as I trailed the then-Judiciary chairman back to his office asking palace intrigue Qs, ending with him saying, "Hey Paul, meet Jeff." — PolitiTweet.org
