There’s the official box score, with first pitch and time of game. Man, those fans left the ballpark just after 7 pm. https://t.co/D0X1gTyeSb — PolitiTweet.org

My friend @DNicholsSR is a sports columnist in Washington state. His text last night seemed impossible to believe: the Spokane minor league ballgame only took 1 hour, 53 minutes. The pitch clock is a glorious thing & can’t arrive fast enough to MLB. https://t.co/15nAZd0QHW — PolitiTweet.org

In 2016, after Rand withdrew from WH race, I watched Hatch talk to him on the floor, recalling his failed (dead last in Iowa) 2000 campaign. “I didn’t do very well at all. So, you know, in honesty, I probably did have a little bitter feeling,” hatch told me, very candidly. — PolitiTweet.org

Bres broke the news & then everyone was peppering Hatch about this (next to Ben Franklin statue on 2nd floor). I finally tried to ask Hatch about a Jersey feud on a US atty. “I’m sorry, but I just announced I’m running for president, I’m not really focused on this USA thing!” — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol: McCarthy’s leadership style often entails not leading. Before 1/6 vote, House Rs pleaded to learn how he’d vote. He refused, annoyed by their Qs. “Let’s not let the mob win,” he said in post-riot speech. Then he voted with mob. https://t.co/J8gPhWOrS9 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump & McCarthy spoke last night. For now - for now - it’s all good between them, in part because Trump likes the power dynamic of how KOM remains loyal, almost subservient to the ex-president. Via @JaxAlemany & @MariannaReports https://t.co/rtvn78tAOt — PolitiTweet.org

@alexanderc1003 @frates @blakehounshell @kenvogel True, my bad. South Florida is just .. the East Coast .. while northern Florida/panhandle is ... Deep South. That's really it, though, PA, TX, FL, in terms of states with multiple regional identities. GA, for example, is massive, but it's entirely a Deep South state. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@frates @blakehounshell @kenvogel I've given up, frankly. Pennsylvania is not really 1 state, in reality. Pittsburgh is a Midwestern city, while Philly is most definitely Eastern/I-95 corridor. Not sure any other state is so regionally split, maybe Texas, which is partly Deep South, mostly southwest. — PolitiTweet.org

“The Russians have been doing better with their project than he has.” On-record assessment of @SenRickScott’s NRSC tenure, from @GroverNorquist Grover doesn’t carry same clout as 10 years ago, but man, that’s brutal. Via @michaelscherer @jdawsey1 https://t.co/GGXu9G53e4 — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty fascinating to see McConnell orbit laying down $7m-plus for Murkowski in Alaska. Interesting to see if Trump forces truly contest this race. — PolitiTweet.org

@WakeUp2Politics As I wrote back in 2018, some experts like Ross Baker believe the pro temp post should just be melded into the role of being majority leader. Of course, next year McConnell turns 80 himself. https://t.co/zoFJLM7I3P — PolitiTweet.org

@WakeUp2Politics Often overlooked fact: Pro temp is an elected position by the Senate and there is no requirement that the post go to the longest serving member of majority. That's just a formality. If Rs take majority, the pro temp will be 89-year-old Grassley! Time to change this custom. — PolitiTweet.org

USSS telling the Hill & others fake DHS agents in Navy Yard were just "wannabe cops." Um, @CarolLeonnig @hsu_spencer reveal they financed several $40k-a-year apartments; big federal-looking SUV/vehicles; thousands of dollars worth of security equipment. https://t.co/bAHKQN72PX — PolitiTweet.org
