@brendanmdunn Which Article One claims did she get wrong in your estimation? — PolitiTweet.org

@brendanmdunn My guess is that you’ll never have a job as rewarding as the last 8-10 years. And I applaud that. I wish we had a way to keep more smart folks like you around longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@brendanmdunn Your point? Here’s my look the issue: https://t.co/MZXqHeKh9a — PolitiTweet.org

@LPDonovan @TimAlberta @MEPFuller @byrdinator I’ll disagree with Liam on this. IAmash was The Original Fit for HFC. He was where they all wanted to be. Then it turned into entirely anti-Boehner/anti-Ryan/pro-Trump. Regardless of policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Hive mind of @TimAlberta @MEPFuller @byrdinator might agree on this: @justinamash didn’t leave Freedom Caucus. The HFC left Amash. I’ll defer to their smarter judgment. Read Tim thread below: — PolitiTweet.org

There’s an old school approach to explaining a COLA $ hike for Congress. Then there’s a robust @AOC approach that embraces higher wages for members, staff, bartenders. Everyone. “We should be fighting for pay increases for every American worker.” https://t.co/RTAMveKMLg — PolitiTweet.org

I’m mostly surprised @russ_walker liked my first tweet without noting that my grammar was completely garbled. He’s a great editor. (I bet he just emailed the correx/edit instead of shaming me!) — PolitiTweet.org

No area of political/government journalism domestically is more starved for coverage than state capitals. And my native PA has culture desperately in need of modern digital driven sunshine - @russ_walker is the perfect person to lead this effort. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

My home state of PA is so much better off with @russ_walker is heading to Harrisburg to oversee an outfit covering state & local gov’t. Russ mentored small army of https://t.co/X7WFXioQnn’ers like @edokeefe @CillizzaCNN @benpershing @MaryAnnAkers & me. https://t.co/YpTf1wLB2C — PolitiTweet.org

Via @mikedebonis - House Dem leaders cave to pressure from swing district freshmen fearful of political backlash over proposed COLA $ increase for members. "Not something Congress should be focusing on right now,” one frosh says. https://t.co/sonhfi3wHf — PolitiTweet.org

@jasondhorowitz @AJentleson @RebeccaKKatz Horo - you were “youthful” when wrote this story in 2006. Today ... not so much. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@AJentleson @RebeccaKKatz That's all I was trying to say in original tweet. The guy wasted away what could've been a great political career. And I should've known better that some of Twitter would miss my sarcasm about "youthful". It was intended as irony, because so many people over 65 are running. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@henkkuli Yes, that is the presumption. Read my tweet, that was the entire point of the tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@RebeccaKKatz Hey, I think you're misreading me. I was giving Edwards campaign much credit for his "2 Americas" message/agenda/platform. That 2004 DNC speech for VP nom could be delivered today, almost word for word, at any Iowa rally & get cheers. His personal sins make him now unelectable. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@ginamused sorry, I guess I should've put air quotes -- "youthful" -- around that to make clear I was basically joking. My point being, that he wouldn't have been considered too old, too much of a has been to run in 2020, if he had not been such a terrible person. That's the point. — PolitiTweet.org

@PoliticsReid But all those rents are too dang high, to paraphrase, for any business to operate. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Monthly rent for Capitol Hill's Sizzling Express (SizzEx) went from $7,000 to $21,000 in less than 20 years. Not sure what kinda business can afford that nut. Another Hill place closing with no sign of what comes next. https://t.co/JdNhxm1ZVC — PolitiTweet.org

@JimPuzzanghera Alright, my head hurt going through those hoops. Is Pelosi still speaker in this analogy? Or are we talking about Speaker Weiner? — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@RebeccaKKatz He's been forgiven by the only people capable of forgiveness on this planet (aside from his family): a federal jury. He got acquitted and is now a practicing lawyer in Raleigh. I would hazard a guess that he's probably happier removed politics altogether. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Similarly, Elliot Spitzer turned 60 today. He could have been an even more "youthful" alternative to Edwards in 2020's alternative universe. (B'day H/Ts to @playbookplus) — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@TalKopan Tal, I was mostly being ironic. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@TalKopan Yes. by relative comparison. There are 6 -- six! -- Dem candidates in the race who are older than Edwards. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@MiekeEoyang Well, he got acquitted by the jury & is now a practicing lawyer again in Raleigh. I don't think he's been banished. He's just not politically viable anymore, which is probably the right balance on these things. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

John Edwards turns 66 today. In alternative universe he served in Obama's cabinet & is now a 2020 frontrunner -- youthful alternative to Bernie, Biden, Warren, at a time when voters really believe there are "two Americas". What a waste. https://t.co/YcOVyJyfAe — PolitiTweet.org
