“I’ll get an airplane. Someone can fly it for me. And we’ll land on lakes and catch fish and have a hell of a good time.” Young told me he’d do this if the “people’s will” took him out of Congress. Must be one helluva an ice fishing trip in the congressional afterlife. https://t.co/HxX5VNVa4s — PolitiTweet.org

@ZackBrownDC @repdonyoung Thanks Zack. For that interview I deployed an interview tactic that every J-school should teach: when your subject is saying really interesting stuff, don’t get in the way. Let ‘em keep talking. Don’t interrupt. And make sure the audio is recording! — PolitiTweet.org

Biden & Don Young both ran for Congress in ‘72. Biden won his Senate seat. Young lost to Rep. Nick Begich, who was missing following plane crash with Majority Leader Boggs. Later presumed dead, Young won the special election in early ‘73 to join House. RIP, to House Dean. — PolitiTweet.org

"... to teach me where to strike an attacker with just the knife handle, a defensive skill, he said, every woman should know ... Young held my hand & cried as he shared how happy he was the day Lu agreed to marry him." Don Young, as only @libcasey can do. https://t.co/fwgoVB7nA1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday @PKCapitol: @LindseyGrahamSC's warning if Rs take majority next year: "How do you ever get anybody confirmed?" The Senate's favorite lightning rod talks about how the SCOTUS process will likely only get worse. https://t.co/jhKfa1MCY6 — PolitiTweet.org

Admin officials keep complaining about lack $$ to buy a 4th shot/2nd booster for Americans. Problem is, only 44% of the already vaccinated got their 3rd shot/boost, and as this story shows, demand is now gone. Only small % likely to get 4th jab. https://t.co/vmVZ9iqn07 — PolitiTweet.org

These Meadows texts appear to be an almost call to arms: “This is a fight of good versus evil. Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. I have staked my career on it. Well at least my time in DC.” — PolitiTweet.org

@Fritschner @lindsaywise Sorry, good point here -- the CVC site moved to Rayburn, which is the 7th circle of hell. So it's good that they also have the Dirksen site. — PolitiTweet.org

… the CVC site. Not they site. — PolitiTweet.org

What Brooks is alleging would likely suggest that 1/6 is an ongoing crime. Brooks also likely eviscerated any chance he had of fighting a subpoena from either the House committee or federal prosecutors. — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty much every House committee is worse than Senate Judiciary. It’s hard to quantify how toxic the House is compared to Senate. (Mandatory plug for @ModernizeCmte - the best little thing that could, a great place of real bipartisanship) — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Here’s the link to recent history of committee votes on SCOTUS noms. It’s also a way to track Committee size inflation. In ‘80s and ‘90s, just 14 senators on Judiciary, not todays 22. https://t.co/D9M8G5mz2t — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

…. Judiciary then held second votes that sent Bork & Thomas to full Senate (w/ negative & neutral recommendations). Will today’s Rs agree? If not there’s a procedure Schumer can use to bring her to Senate floor. NBD. But traditional SCOTUS courtesy doesn’t require it. 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Late next week Judiciary will likely tie 11-11 on KBJ nom. What happens next will indicate whether another senatorial courtesy is gone. By tradition all SCOTUS noms get sent to full Senate, no matter committee vote. Bork got rejected 5-9 by Judiciary, Thomas 7-7 tie … 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

“Justice Thomas is unable to be present today." As @scotusreporter notes in this story, Thomas was initially supposed to be released from hospital by yesterday. Court hasn't provided any details since Sunday. https://t.co/Ix3L8ZF5iX — PolitiTweet.org

Midweek @PKCapitol: Just 3 1/2 years ago, Republicans ditched law-and-order mantle & embraced criminal sentencing reforms. As KBJ's hearings show, Rs are lurching back toward Willie Horton days, accusing Dems of going soft on crime. https://t.co/ifnLR5pwzU — PolitiTweet.org

@HotlineJosh yeah, I focused solely on Senate races in the tweet (since those are the races I knew best). And also, in GA Gov, Perdue is behind as well. — PolitiTweet.org

@HotlineJosh Did I miss any early endorsements? He's just sitting out AZ and OH now, clearly, to see who looks like they're gonna win, then make an endorsement and claim it was all him. Same with the new field in PA. And he'll probably wait out MO, after Greitens allegations. — PolitiTweet.org
