Wow. It took 21 1/2 years to get here but @algore has finally arrived. (Most VPs have busts arrive about 5-7 years after leaving office.) — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 But because of socio-economic-cultural bubbles, many elementary school parents have no idea how few of their kids peers are vaccinated. How many? Vast majority not. Like, overwhelming majority. And that fuels further covid spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@brianros1 Important to understand this is across every region, every state. Every income group. Overwhelming majority of parents will not vaccinate their 5-11 kids. And that's a huge reason why this current surge is happening, school can't end soon enough. https://t.co/hHyBhGy5uV — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

For parents of 5-11 year olds wondering when to get kids boosted, please read @DrLeanaWen oped. It will help, marginally, because vast majority parents - more than 70% - refuse to vaccinate their 5-11 kids. A huge reason why CV19 continues to thrive. https://t.co/B2Kw7l4Pyk — PolitiTweet.org

What Peters said last summer: “My goal is just to win. And 52 or 53 is OK with me ... [In 2020 Peters] clamored for more resources to shore up his must-win race ... 'Oh, Michigan, you’re fine. We’re going to put our money in X.' Another state that wasn’t going to happen." — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

This poll will send liberal hearts racing, but as @GaryPeters told me last summer, he's no interest in chasing "reach" states. DSCC won't admit it, but they won't chase Ohio as their predecessors chased Alaska, Indiana, SC, etc. There's a core focus of about 6-7 races. No more. — PolitiTweet.org

Read @seungminkim covering BTS in perfection. I'm so clueless about pop culture, as I told SMK, earlier this evening, I initially thought BTS-to-White House had something to do with MBS & attempt at cooling off Saudi relations. I know. I'm a fool. https://t.co/ykBUL3AcKt — PolitiTweet.org

@kristin__wilson Is it ok to tag yourself if the name of your column is actually your Twitter handle? Asking for a friend and future tweets about said column. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattsgorman @Phil_Mattingly @KevinMaddenDC @tedsbulletin Lunch died because of smart phone and expectations to respond to every new development. Breakfast is only work meeting of a day that you can (usually) control. After-work drinks is possible if you’re flexible on someone being late. Lunch is mostly pointless to schedule. — PolitiTweet.org

“… expected conservative backlash never materialized …” Read deep into @mikedebonis jam.

Joe Biden’s 1st commencement address at @UDelaware was June 1978, as 35-year-old first-term senator. Not sure @mikememoli was even alive at that point. I won’t give away my age but Edwin Newman was our UD commencement speaker. https://t.co/BqWQ3PIXSj — PolitiTweet.org

It’s worth noting how the NRA played only a cursory role in Alabama Senate. “They don’t have any money,” Shelby told me. But GOP voters love their guns regardless and elevated Brooks anyway. NRA is a shell of itself, yet guns still animate R voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Midweek @PKCapitol column: Mo Brooks saw his comeback weeks before anyone else. How? One of his rivals had committed a sin on gun rights. "He's sinking fast," Brooks told me April 26. And in GOP primaries, guns trump falling out of favor with Trump. https://t.co/plptzZ0sU5 — PolitiTweet.org

Full Tester quote: “The meeting I had with him was a very, very good meeting. And we talked about some of the concerns that we had with Chipman, with him, and he did well.” Full King: "I’m likely to support him but I want to leave room for the hearing to see what happens.” — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

“He did well,”@SenatorTester tells me about his meeting with ATF nom. Not as committed as King, but he’s leaning yes. Tester never publicly opposed or supported Chipman but played a role for sure in his demise. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

“I’m likely to support him,” @SenAngusKing tells me about the new ATF nominee, whose confirmation hearing is today. King played key role in blocking 1st nom, Chipman, amid Maine gun groups opposing his nom. Now, King says his meeting with Dettlebach last week went great. — PolitiTweet.org
