@burgessev @SenJoniErnst Good pull. He did go negative against the other 2, but in a very funny way. The '96 Maine GOP primary was epic, you were probably in grade school/junior high, but it was epic. Collins just avoided the mud slinging, then won it all as Dole cratered there. — PolitiTweet.org

Context: @SenJoniErnst is 1 of at least 3 GOP female senators who won 1st primary by shooting gap through largely positive message, as male counterparts went super negative on each other. Collins & Fischer did similar things. All 3 were super electable. Barnette? Jury out. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @anniekarni: Dems: we have to hold this vote so every Senator is forced to show where they stand. Rs: “I’d cast this vote every day.” — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Republicans have seen sharper polarization. Today, more than 35 Senate Rs hail from states Trump won by 10+ points. More than 15 come from 25+ Trump states. Just 7 Rs come from states Biden won or narrowly lost. Most Rs love votes like yesterday. https://t.co/OrTPKEv8if — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Just 12 years ago 23 senators - 13 Ds, 10 Rs - came from states that voted for other party’s prez nominee. Today, just 6 senator (3 & 3). With no centrists, partisans love messaging votes on culture wars. “I’d take this vote every day,” Cramer said. https://t.co/OrTPKEv8if — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol: This week's SCOTUS draft leak reminded us that what really matters in these nomination fights are the closed door, 1-on-1 meetings with swing votes like Collins, Murkowski. Not the public hearings. My inside look at those meetings. https://t.co/mPpsMswmLL — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a snapshot of @LegiStorm data on the 5 worst paying jobs on the Hill. All make less than $45k - these are the staffers who woke up this AM and realized they were getting a raise based on Speaker’s letter on staff pay. https://t.co/ZgwuKPiYlH — PolitiTweet.org

When Michael Lewis wrote “Blind Side,” the entire construct was how NFL reinvented their $ structure to pay linemen more than others. MLB still hasn’t recognized that bullpens are their single most valuable commodity. — PolitiTweet.org

Midweek @PKCapitol: An under-appreciated trend over last 2-plus months - Biden's approval on pandemic has surged back to late summer 2021 levels. Has this helped Dems? Not much. Voters have moved on from covid. And Senate Dems remain defensive on issue. https://t.co/hPJls6OTg0 — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Fascinating poll nugget: Overwhelming support, 66-21, for SCOTUS term limits. There's big bipartisan support for some term/age limit. Not surprising given Ds just experienced RBG staying too long & Rs now must worry about Thomas's health concerns. https://t.co/53RuhvUppd — PolitiTweet.org

Ohio Dem share in Senate races without @SherrodBrown as nominee: '94: 39% '98: 43.5% '00: 36% '04: 36% '10: 39% '16: 37% Brown got 56% ('06), 50.7% ('12), 53.4% ('18). Tim Ryan faces very tough road. He must live a WWSD life: What would Sherrod do? Might not be enough. — PolitiTweet.org

As an eye witness, this @lisamurkowski move was so agile. She went sideways to slide into a subway car with an auto-closing door that left no room for error. A 10/10 for execution and daring. — PolitiTweet.org

Collins says Gorsuch also misled her. Her 2017 speech on NMG: “I asked him if it would be sufficient to overturn a long-established precedent if 5 current justices believed that a previous decision was wrongly decided. He responded: ‘emphatically no.’" https://t.co/iJWzYRaJez — PolitiTweet.org

Some basic rules about The Wave for baseball fans: 1 - never do the wave. Never. 2 - If you do the wave, as hometeam fans, never do the wave when you’re guy is pitching. It is so crazy distracting to pitcher, never do it when it’s your guy pitching. You’re welcome. — PolitiTweet.org

Still kinda amazes me the @PGATOUR abandoned Trump’s Doral event for Mexico City. Mexico! They couldn’t get corporate sponsors for Trump. And now DJT is trying to get Saudi tour to play his courses. Such a wicked turn to guy who fancies himself PGA material. — PolitiTweet.org

To clarify "recent travel schedules", Biden spent Thursday, Friday in Portland and Seattle, then flew into Philly International & spent weekend in Wilmington, DE. Flew back Monday AM. Harris was in LA/California most of last week. They've not seen each other in a while. — PolitiTweet.org

@dnddwilson @kristin__wilson @RepSwalwell Thanks Dave, can always count on you to speak truth. Everything about "Ohio Clock" is a fraud - it's from Philly, it never served as a secret whiskey stash place, a Connecticut senator actually ordered it & the 17 stars aren't for Ohio (17th state). https://t.co/gnQu45SagF — PolitiTweet.org

The @jmartNYT @alexburnsNYT book is gonna be great footnote reading, to see who sat for on-record interviews & who gets labeled as "House Republican No. 8" or "GOP leadership aide No. 7." We know they spoke to Trump, McConnell & (extensively) Lindsey. https://t.co/CwlPgrsrnU — PolitiTweet.org

This @MurielBowser campaign mailer sums up how much debate has shifted - this is entirely tough on crime, “hiring more” cops for “increased police presence”. Her renaming 16th St for BLM Plaza feels a lifetime ago in DC politics. https://t.co/hd63ZjOORZ — PolitiTweet.org
