Under the box sits Harry S Truman, whose statue gets unveiled Thursday in the Rotunda. He’s replacing Hamilton, who despite his musical fame, got dropped down to 1st floor Hall of Columns location. Full ceremony tomorrow afternoon. https://t.co/h299gyGro1 — PolitiTweet.org

Friday marks 25th anniversary of last time Congress passed all approps bills funding federal agencies & sent to WH by Sept. 30 statutory deadline. 11 yrs of total GOP control, 6 of Dem control, 8 split Congress. 13 yrs of Dem presidents, 12 R. Epic fail. https://t.co/KebeIqwiCW — PolitiTweet.org

“Everything is happening behind the scenes, but obviously that is what the money shows." Great look at Kevin McCarthy's closest allies working to defeat @CawthornforNC & other GOP renegades. Via @michaelscherer @jdawsey1 @iarnsdorf @MariannaReports https://t.co/Sp6pwR30tA — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

We don’t believe in rebuilding years on WaPo’s Congress team. We believe in reloading. So as some great colleagues moved on, we’ve added rock stars like @MariannaReports @JaxAlemany @LACaldwellDC And today @lizcgoodwin joins the team. Can’t wait to get started. — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s impossible to get a crew of 56 people that can get a ticket to the game in Philadelphia. You physically can’t do it. For us, it’s a lot easier to get tickets down here.” A state-of-union-style look at Wash's football team (lack of) fan base. https://t.co/B6FTNqKeDL — PolitiTweet.org

Some Rs might flip to yes on the underlying bill, given FOP and other law enforcement backing for it. The procedural rule vote is usually considered a straight partisan vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

So Cheney is expected to be on hand for final police vote (family health issues caused her to miss procedural vote). That means Dems have to flip 1 more from their side, to aye or present. If everyone shows up & votes how they just voted on rule, bill fails on tie. — PolitiTweet.org

And again, in this @RickMaese gem, there aren't any members of Congress publicly embracing LIV. Apparently behind closed doors some took selfies with @SharkGregNorman but none speaking out publicly in support of Saudi golf. https://t.co/RAJPHI0jR4 — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Great @AndrewDesiderio on LIV golf's venture to the Hill. Key thing: No strong defenders of this Saudi-led tour. Best public support was a meh-neutral comment: "Legislatively, we can’t solve the problem.” True. LIV desperate for a TV deal, not Congress. https://t.co/5IgEbzl36J — PolitiTweet.org

If Florida sent state troopers into Texas to arrest people for speeding on I-35, then shipped them to New Mexico, it wouldn't be tolerated. That DeSantis has FL officials working in TX, sending people to Massachusetts, can't be jurisdictionally kosher. https://t.co/CsfPILkAi6 — PolitiTweet.org

We all thought Goodman was heroic for what we on @igorbobic video & brief clip with Romney. His 1/6 was way more harrowing than what we saw. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

"Let's just ignore him." That's what @LeaderMcConnell told @Liz_Cheney a week or so after 1/6, adopting a strategy built around the hope Trump would fade away. She knew MM was wrong. Great reporting from @rachaelmbade @karoun in new book UNCHECKED. https://t.co/EMIzU7DAXH — PolitiTweet.org

For a few years I sat "next" to @daveweigel - which meant we hardly saw each other. I'm always in Capitol, he's on trail. Those few days we were there together, I treasured. Wicked smart stuff. I hope he learned 1/2 as much as I learned from him. https://t.co/5qywQjqwBF — PolitiTweet.org

@jim_yaz The game wasn't as close, but it reminded me of Randall's coming out performance on MFN in fall of '88, beating the Giants (ask Carl Banks what it's like to tackle No. 12), which we watched in the basement of Dickinson D. Long live Dickinson dorms. — PolitiTweet.org

Well, my gosh, best Eagles QB performance in a long time. Just amazing. The defense looked solid as well. Huge win on a big stage, a statement game. #FlyEaglesFly — PolitiTweet.org

And by terrific, I mean, it scared me to death. But I survived and felt like I just accomplished something crazy. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Amazing story about Philly culture. I went probably 12 years without doing Lincoln Dr, and then did it again on trip back to Philly. It was terrific. A Grand Prix of drivers with zero elite driving expertise. Ok, on to MNF. #FlyEaglesFly — PolitiTweet.org

Today's GOP: @EliseStefanik is happy to move down to No. 4, because No. 3 job will require actual governance & corralling yes votes on tough bills. Her long-game advances, she believes, by avoiding real responsibility. Via @LACaldwellDC @theodoricmeyer https://t.co/IqvpesOYLK — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol: For @PatRyanUC winning NY19 wasn't just about abortion, Dem legislative wins. It was about fighting powerful interests to bank those wins. Voters ask, he said, “Do I trust you to actually fight for those issues and values?” https://t.co/E7qgY2MTqP — PolitiTweet.org

Super competitive Wednesday night among press corps & members of Congress. In softball on Hill, lawmakers won in bottom of 7th, a 1-run margin in thriller. Across town @amybwang nailed F-A-R-T-L-E-K, to seal come-from-behind press spelling bee win! https://t.co/ywrYiBEDz3 — PolitiTweet.org

@BDeAngelis82 This story from 2 weeks ago says DC region traffic is 93% of pre-pandemic levels. Office occupancy is 38%. https://t.co/GeXosluTBx — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Thing about DC is, the traffic is back. You see so many cars moving in/around downtown. On Beltway/395. Yet the sidewalks are still wide open. I don’t know where all those cars are going as they cut through downtown. Very few going to offices. — PolitiTweet.org
