Pelosi has same concerns as Biden/Delaney, etc, but her preference for building on ACA, she says, is based on quality of care, not politics of moment: “It’s a $30 trillion price tag. What do people get for that in terms of care, and what do they pay for that along the way?” — PolitiTweet.org

2020 Dems opposing Medicare-for-all miss the Pelosi point. They keep arguing that it can’t pass or will scare voters, sounding dark & dour. Pelosi, however, worries M4A will proved worse benefits at higher cost, as she told me in April. 1/2 https://t.co/FU1jMzF21T — PolitiTweet.org

@jrpsaki @mviser I once set up an email spam filter during debate season to catch any FACT CHECK in a subject line. It was glorious. Until one Senator's team misspelled it as FACTCHECK and their debate fact checks snuck through. — PolitiTweet.org

@benpershing @BresPolitico I'm confused by where this person is chipping/working on the bump-and-run. Upper/Lower Senate Park have been under reconstruction for 2 years or more now. — PolitiTweet.org

This @daveweigel breakdown ahead of tonight's debate is great, as always, and not just for this brilliant insight: "Behind the 10th lectern: Marianne Williamson, a spiritual author whose politics are hard to nail down." https://t.co/BtmGiYHHP4 — PolitiTweet.org

This kid @jaden_reports & @WakeUp2Politics are gonna be bitter competitors. Or just take over journalism together. (Gabe has been at camp for 2 months so he won’t see this.) — PolitiTweet.org

Late-inning baseball is just unwatchable because bullpens are so wretched. The Braves are 2nd best in NL & their relievers are minor leaguers. Nats answer? A 42-yr-old with an ERA north of 7.00. — PolitiTweet.org

@StuPolitics Stu's point is that will not likely happen again in 2020. 3rd party vote total likely to shrink back to 1-1.5% in 2020, down from nearly 6% in 2016, which was biggest % since 1996. https://t.co/7WrNaupnQr — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Always read @StuPolitics - really overlooked point. Johnson, the Libertarian, with slight Jill Stein/others effect, had huge impact on 2016. In PA alone, 3rd party candidates got 3X as many votes as 2012. In WI, 3rd party in 2016 4X 2012 showing. https://t.co/7WrNaupnQr — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday @PKCapitol - Deficit hawks are literally a dying breed. Domenici passed away in 2017, Rivlin passed couple months ago. Dole is 96. No one is taking up their cause. "It’s not a popular position to take politically right now," Bill Hoagland says. https://t.co/dAllPg4qud — PolitiTweet.org

@mbrooksrjc @karentravers @jaketapper @FredBThird @MaxyBrooks @frates @kenvogel An overreach. Chip did great with Andy/Howie’s talent, then melted down as GM/coach. Kapler has the pitching-talent level of Sixers at bottom of Process. — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday @PKCapitol: The Budget Control Act of 2011 is (about to be) dead. Long live the BCA! Often maligned, amended, overridden, BCA did one thing: controlled spending. Debt exploded because of other Congressional misadventures. https://t.co/zQUVvSUOXN — PolitiTweet.org

@thepugdc I see the Nats are getting the full Dodger experience today. Just a relentless lineup. As for Bryce, this story is way outdated. Over last 28 days Bryce is slashing .307/.391/.520 with 16 RBI. His HRs (3) are down but power is there (7 doubles). — PolitiTweet.org

Trump could learn a lot from his friend/ally @RepMarkMeadows about @RepCummings - despite all their differences, Meadows & Cummings truly like & respect one another. Here’s what I wrote about EC-MM 4 months ago: https://t.co/kad6FlYy65 — PolitiTweet.org

Beau Biden's closest staff had a list of 60~ people to tell before news broke about his death. Kamala Harris was on the list. Now, she's in a public brawl with Beau's father in a way that Biden didn't see coming. A great @chelsea_janes story here. https://t.co/YqYnoBCHQt — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkLeibovich Impeachment curious, that's the winner. Seen a couple people mention it so far. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Dan gets this right -- junior Judiciary members just declared something called an "impeachment investigation", other members say "we have crossed a threshold". But Nadler specifically avoided saying it's an "escalation". Quite confusing appearance. — PolitiTweet.org

My take from this week: impeachment floodgates never really opened on House Dem side. Now, they have a 46-day recess away from DC. — PolitiTweet.org

"I have meetings with members all the time," @SpeakerPelosi tells @rachaelmbade & others, as her @AOC meeting ends. Sure, but Pelosi, 79, Ocacio-Cortez, 29, are highest-profile House Dems & their recent spat speaks volumes about Dem divides. https://t.co/F5LBCxrY2R — PolitiTweet.org
