I pulled a vintage Philly move here & tweeted the Starr group menu, not the earmarks column. I’m sure most preferred the menu/recommendation but if you want a deep dive on earmarks, here it goes: https://t.co/71MdbSN9fM — PolitiTweet.org

... EARMARKS. Earmarks are back first time since 2010. Fascinating to see bipartisan embrace, with members ranging from Tea Party 2010'er @MikeKellyPA to Squad leader @AOC out there touting their earmarks. Here's what I wrote 2 months ago, 2/2 https://t.co/SHJVgoI49j — PolitiTweet.org

Greetings from Old City, Philly's historic area, where Dems start a delayed retreat & where the hotel serves "Jersey Benedict" -- eggs bene with pork roll. Despite yesterday's drama over passing $1.5tr gov't funding bill, it passed. And w/ something really interesting ... 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

The Ukraine aid package grew from $6.4 billion to $13.6 billion in less than 2 weeks. It's very bipartisan and has lots of support. And it's likely the first of many funding bills for this war: "There will be additional needs." My midweek @PKCapitol https://t.co/ZtgsRFPEOO — PolitiTweet.org

First thing I spot upon getting to Philly for Dem retreat: a de facto in kind contribution for the Oz Senate campaign. https://t.co/urDOcgQOgG — PolitiTweet.org

Kinda dying to know if AF1 was able to get CBSN so POTUS could watch the Blue Hens win. If not, which staffer got to be the one to tell him they're going to the Dance. — PolitiTweet.org

In his worst Gallup poll, Biden stood at 40% approval. Yet 60% said he was "likable". That gives Biden room to make a comeback, something Trump could never do because he never got above 40% in likability. But it's still very uphill for Biden, Dems. https://t.co/YIjqty1ZFk — PolitiTweet.org

Independent voters are moving in Biden's direction over Ukraine, covid. Back in fall @PutnamTVAds warned Biden had been "hijacked". Not on Tuesday. “That Joe Biden in the State of the Union is the Joe Biden that America voted for," Putnam said. https://t.co/YIjqty1ZFk — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol: On 2nd thought, Biden's supporters really liked #SOTU2022, as NPR/PBS poll showed Friday. Boring? Maybe, but that's what SOTU's are supposed to be. And Biden wasn't trying to be FDR, LBJ. Instead, Biden tried to be ... Biden. https://t.co/YIjqty1ZFk — PolitiTweet.org

@Alex_Roarty @benpershing I believe @jmartNYT @sissenberg @maggieNYT me and a few others cooked up a Top 5 state capitals for both work & good living. Like, Austin, cool city & great state politics. Sacramento, eh, not the most fun city, but good politics, didn't make the cut. — PolitiTweet.org

Next Friday will mark 2 years with the public not allowed in. What Steny says here is the admission that it's not about COVID anymore, it's about the safety of the building post-1/6. Here's my column about this issue from December: https://t.co/KIEPQKMItR — PolitiTweet.org

Obama interviewed KBJ in early 2016, was impressed. But he feared the McConnell gauntlet made it a political suicide mission for her career. Instead, Garland. Lewis & other liberals saw this as a mistake. https://t.co/jXAJI6vkJb — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight’s @PKCapitol column: a nomination 6 years in making, many Dems wanted KBJ or another Black woman in 2016. “I was hoping that he would pick an African American woman,” John Lewis said then. Instead, Garland. https://t.co/jXAJI6vkJb — PolitiTweet.org

Biden and Breyer just had a cordial 1-minute discussion post #SOTU2022 2 dudes whose history is tied together - Biden was Judiciary chair escorting him onto SCOTUS 28 years ago. Now, Biden is picking his successor, Breyer’s former clerk, KBJ. https://t.co/YpfRK2hUdo — PolitiTweet.org

It just sorta dawned on me, as I stood in press gallery above Senate as they gathered to head over to the House for #SOTU2022: This is the 1st full joint session of Congress since Jan. 6. (Last year's Biden address was limited attendance, covid-social-distanced.) Weird. — PolitiTweet.org

Recently started watching Yellowstone (still in Season 2, no spoilers please), but I swear this story about @GovGianforte killing a mountain lion on federal lands, tracked by NPS, is straight outta the show. Somehow John Dutton is gonna resolve this. https://t.co/ORFdnuwvAU — PolitiTweet.org

Western Govs not from California are forgotten by East Coast media. What happened to NV Gov is insane & would be major news if it was a senator or Gov of NY, NJ, VA, or a West Wing aide. “You in trouble, you better get the fuck out of here, Sisolak!" https://t.co/jCQx8wPOtK — PolitiTweet.org

Listen folks, it’s not great that each party has so many “responders”, but honestly if you’ve ever been to Statuary Hall after #SOTU you’ll realize: there are about 500 responders in Congress. But only 1 will get national tv coverage (Gov Reynolds in this case). Not a huge deal. — PolitiTweet.org
