@jdelreal @wpjenna Thanks JADR. Check in next time you're back in DC. We miss you. — PolitiTweet.org

@HotlineJosh @jonallendc No, MASN keeps focusing on some poor younger girl. It's great if they win, but gosh, if they lose, just feels exploitative — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@jonallendc @HotlineJosh Can I just say that TV people should not do that thing where they focus on a single 9/10-year-old for an hour on end? It feels a bit invasive and weird and let's just go focus on the schlep guys in oversized home unis. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not the 110% commitment Markey wants to hear. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@StephMurr_Jour @jerrymberger Yeah, but if they reverted to Kerry-Mitt era, that would just leave a vacancy until the special, leaving a 50-49 GOP majority for first 100-130 days. Assuming Prez-elect Warren resigned mid-November 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Chair of subcommittee overseeing State & foreign operations? @LindseyGrahamSC For years before Lindsey, @senatemajldr held that subcommittee gavel. Graham publicly opposing these cuts, bet McConnell does too. But both up for re-election in ‘20. https://t.co/ipFYxeIxmf — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@jerrymberger @StephMurr_Jour What else could they do? You have to leave time to hold a primary and a general. State is filled with too much ambition, I think, to not have a primary. Wyoming law dictates Gov must appoint from same party, but that still puts power with Baker. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@StephMurr_Jour I don't think the law changed at all between the Kennedy and Kerry vacancies, even after the Brown blunder. But I'll defer to you if there was some small change. Will be interesting to see if Mass legislature takes some steps again to change law. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Kennedy died Aug 25, 2009, Brown didn’t get sworn in till Feb 2010. Kerry resigned Jan 2013 for SecState, Markey sworn in mid-July 2013. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Lotta folks don’t know Massachusetts law. If Senate vacancy, Gov appoints interim replacement & calls a special election 160~ days later. See Mo Cowan & Paul Kirk. In this scenario Prez Warren’s first 6~ months at least McConnell would lead Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

@jmartNYT @joekennedy @EdMarkey @paultencher @BostonGlobe @AyannaPressley @sethmoulton @maura_healey @KatherineClark @marty_walsh Don’t sleep on the possibility of the July 2021 special to replace Prez Warren. If JKIII is already in Senate, Baker might steamroll his way to winning. Could be a race to decide Senate majority too. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

But first Dems need to win WH & Senate. And there’s one nightmare scenario for filibuster haters: Warren wins, Dems net 3 in Senate to get 50-50 .... and Gov Baker appoints R to replace Warren, leaving MM majority leader till at least July 2021. 3/3 https://t.co/BfXTOkPtiW — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Senate leaders go nuclear when there is a big deliverable - SCOTUS, for example. But most big ideas now - repealing ACA on right, M4A on left - don’t have simple majority support anyway. Immigration could be that trigger for Dems. 2/3 https://t.co/BfXTOkPtiW — PolitiTweet.org

The @AP sports writers deserve special kudos for weaving color like this into their massively tight deadlines, this about Phans: “Machado went 1-for-4 with a strikeout while also making an error and got serenaded by Phillies fans with chants of "We got Harper! We got Harper!" — PolitiTweet.org

@nielslesniewski Yup, about 5 or 6 years ago. With @feliciasonmez and some others! — PolitiTweet.org

I've lived in DC more than 20 years, but I've never been inside the Washington Monument. Partly because of stupidity, but since the 2011 earthquake, because it was mostly closed. In September, it finally reopens. https://t.co/4b1PIJHBSk — PolitiTweet.org

@ConnieSchultz @Hickenlooper I should have known better, Connie. That's true, you aren't subtle. I should have added a ? to the end of my tweet wondering if you were encouraging Hick. — PolitiTweet.org
