Trump's early Senate endorsements: AL: Brooks (endorsement pulled) GA: Walker (seems to have GOP nom locked up) NC: Budd (trailing despite $10m~ spent on his behalf) PA: Parnell (withdrew after abuse case) Plus, he leaned toward Greitens in MO, then abuse allegations. — PolitiTweet.org

Romney tells me that child-porn angle via Hawley/Cruz is wrong, won't impact how he votes. “It struck me that it was off course, meaning the attacks were off course that came from some. And there is no there, there.” Still might vote against KBJ. https://t.co/8Cmwe9oipc — PolitiTweet.org

"Those of us who have spent time in courtrooms ..." Never a day goes by without @SenatorLeahy mentioning prosecutor days. He recently told me how he ended up almost accidentally appointed city attorney, then did it for 8 years. That was 1966. Last trial was 50~ yrs ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Very important @CDCgov study: “3 doses was better than 2.” Booster shots dramatically help reduce serious CV19 illness. So @CDCgov now do study on your bungling booster rollout for months & leaving vast majority believing they don’t need boost. https://t.co/bZ9UJN6kjm — PolitiTweet.org

@chelsea_janes It's Father's Day weekend. His 1st-ever walk-off homer was Father's Day, 2006, at RFK against the Yankees. June 18, 2006. Nice little anniversary moment: https://t.co/KnvDAgEQ3S — PolitiTweet.org

For those asking, I use Pew's definition of millennial age range (born between '81 and '96). https://t.co/VBiYHbVdwz — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Random observation: @ossoff is the first ever millennial to participate in SCOTUS confirmation hearings. Just turned 35, he was 7 months old when the Bork hearings began. Biden & Leahy were both early in their 3rd Senate term when those hearings began. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

“I started sleeping in my children’s room simply to try to keep them safe." Just a brutal account, filed in court, by Missouri ex-Gov's former wife. Trump has leaned toward endorsing Greitens in '22 Senate race. https://t.co/rB1WIlqGar — PolitiTweet.org

It ... it always makes me chuckle. But you get the point. Rs and Ds do it all the time. I'd love a nominee to just respond sometime, "Wow, I didn't know that I did that." — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

"You were on the debate team ... Your brother worked as a police officer ..." I always makes me chuckle when Judiciary senators literally tell SCOTUS nominees what they have done in their lives. Pretty sure KBJ knows that her brother was a cop. — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol: @LeaderHoyer is happy to say out loud what most members say privately: Members of Congress deserve better benefits. He wants a 13-yr pay freeze to end. He wants more $$ for staff. And he fought a lonely battle to restart earmarks. https://t.co/e6fzqcHEZh — PolitiTweet.org

For those wondering, Hal Rogers & Chris Smith are now the deans of the House, with Don Young’s passing. Both elected in 1980, sworn in Jan 1981. I believe Hal has edge based on alphabet. https://t.co/mpUrhEk6kF — PolitiTweet.org

The wildest, most freewheeling interview I’ve had in last 5 years? Easy. Don Young. He was fun, crazy, maybe a little exaggerating i his stories. His advice for Trump? “Shut up.” The House dean has died, RIP. https://t.co/lLkn9Zu4GP — PolitiTweet.org

Alas, UD’s 1 shining moment was … 1 moment. Until next year Tough loss. We hung with Nova for 30 of those minutes but couldn’t survive their 3-pt blitzkrieg. If Nova shoots like that all tourney, they’ll cut some nets down. Great UD season, great coach. — PolitiTweet.org

@JackMc185 @thepugdc 13-24 from 3-point land. Ben Simmons would be best NBA player if he could shoot FTs like that! — PolitiTweet.org

@JackMc185 @thepugdc Nova is now 12-22 from 3-pt range. Hens are 2-16. That’s 30 extra points on that side of ledger. This is ridiculous. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Dangit, I hate when I'm right. @thepugdc wanted UD-Nova update. TT: "Ubering the kids & local radio playing other game." PK: "We need to finish these final 3 minutes strong & not let you guys build too big a lead ... 27-25, Cats." Then? 8-0 Nova run, going up 10 at half. — PolitiTweet.org

Come on, Hens. All I want is to go the distance, all 15 rounds like Rocky did in the first Creed. Let’s show these Main Liners we belong on the court with them. #BlueHens https://t.co/Ogh0fOSKIV — PolitiTweet.org

Midweek @PKCapitol: The Senate’s biggest enemy is time - an institution built to go sloooow, crush heat-of-moment passion. Yet on Tuesday, time (permanent spring forward) won amazingly fast passage. No hearing, no committee markup, just 19 sponsors. https://t.co/TAF0ppKact — PolitiTweet.org

What’s gonna be interesting is how JMart-Alex are going deep inside Dems, Biden, 2021. Most every book so far - many very good - been almost entirely Trump/2020/1-6 focused. — PolitiTweet.org
