My favorite Mark Shields column, written in '97 when Glenn was about to go back into space, captured this moment when an opponent accused Glenn of never having "a job". "I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I was through two wars. I flew 149 missions. ..." 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

@amyewalter 1,000% this, Amy. When I was young Senate reporter for Roll Call, he'd come talk to me in the gallery, pick my brain, want to know what I thought. He knew I was spending way more time there than he was, so Mark wanted to hear from me. Just such a genuine, good guy. — PolitiTweet.org

Aguilar realized how faith played such a key role to Pence, leading his ex-counsel to talk about reading Book of Daniel during the riot: “He refuses an order from the king that he cannot follow and he does his duty in — consistent with his oath to God." https://t.co/gm3kPdlI6x — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol: Pushing legislation or investigating 1/6, @RepPeteAguilar wants to expand beyond the already committed base. “Part of this is, how do I reach my grandmother? How do I get people who aren’t as steeped in the political weeds?” https://t.co/gm3kPdlI6x — PolitiTweet.org

A few days after 1/6, I paced off how far Pence was from rioters. I had 75 feet but @CarolLeonnig had schematics showing it 90~ feet. Turns out, at different moment, he was just 40 feet - less than half b’ball court - from rioters who wanted him hanged. https://t.co/OQIHyG2KCb — PolitiTweet.org

Another congressional tradition, back in its usual midsummer slot, the annual R vs D baseball game. At Nats Park, July 28, raising $$ for DC charities. It's @USRepMikeDoyle's last game as Dem manager. Buy your tickets here: https://t.co/OSEuZYDJQO — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a Strom Thurmond room on Senate side. Mike Mansfield & LBJ rooms. Dole balcony. 3 Kennedy brothers have a room in their honor in Russell. All 3 office buildings named for men. Finally, the Senate named 2 rooms for women: Mikulski & MC Smith. https://t.co/61Fb3U75Gt — PolitiTweet.org

Sharp piece by Josh, piggybacking off of my Sunday column, which piggybacked off of @CharlieCookDC's earlier column. But Josh says it right: "... mark the number 248 (or +35 net) on your scorecards as a sign of a true political tsunami." For now, Rs +25 is a very good night. — PolitiTweet.org

“… trying to hold police lines outside the Capitol without any protective gear… beat back rioters … vomited after being hit with pepper spray.” Eugene Goodman’s 1/6 was so much tougher than that brief clip near Senate. Great @hsu_spencer jam. https://t.co/b8OHScfL4q — PolitiTweet.org

The most unusual thing about the Philly vote in 2020? Trump's modern record tally there. He received almost 133k votes, a surge of 24k more than in '16. W's reelect in '04 was only R campaign to come close to Trump '20 in Philly. https://t.co/B4xUKxeLl9 — PolitiTweet.org

Most important number in this deal: 10 10 Republicans signed on with 10 Dems for this gun deal framework. That should mean it's gonna clear 60-vote filibuster hurdle. (Plus: Cornyn, Blunt, Portman, Toomey are very close to McConnell -- so MM is likely to support final bill.) — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday @PKCapitol: Yes, Rs are well positioned to win the House. No, it’s not gonna be ‘94 (Rs +54) or ‘10 (+63). Even 2018 (Dems 40+) is a stretch. Rs now start 35~ seats above those midterm waves. My look at @RepTomEmmer trying to set the line. https://t.co/Ghjj6fg6ov — PolitiTweet.org
