Missed this last night: @sethmoulton & @RepMeijer actually switched their position while on ground in Kabul & now support Aug. 31 withdrawal. Still think mission was mishandled months ago, but they tell @CatieEdmondson we need to leave next week. https://t.co/h8HxGMgOi6 — PolitiTweet.org

There's a reason Joe Girardi is trending, and it's legit. He's lost his entire touch for managing a game and pitchers. He's not as bad as Twitter thinks, but he is just so confused with how to handle things when he doesn't have Mo Rivera in his bullpen. — PolitiTweet.org

“Neither one of them should have their ass in Afghanistan right now. The Defense Department has enough to do." DC establishment blast Moulton & Meijer's Kabul trip. Yet junior Rs & Ds defend it: "I wouldn’t have done it, but I understand the frustration." https://t.co/kcBh9XKZWg — PolitiTweet.org

12 years ago today, Ted Kennedy died. 3 years ago, John McCain. 2 great senators, great friends, taken by same brain cancer, same day. Both had deep flaws, but left major legacies. And they loved their jobs. Here’s my 2017 column about their bond. https://t.co/J7kW9kfIvS — PolitiTweet.org

This entire Moulton & Meijer escapade reads like 2 guys who stayed up late over the weekend watching "Charlie Wilson's War" and decided to run off to the Afghan airlift to see things for themselves. Latest on this, with Pelosi bashing their trip. https://t.co/kcBh9XKZWg — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinMaddenDC I’d guesstimate that Trump is 1st or 2nd choice of 75%, or more, of potential 2024 electorate in GOP primaries. He’d rake the field in RCV. — PolitiTweet.org

Almost 100 members - out of 432 currently in the House - voted by proxy yesterday. Rs & Ds, young & old, liberal & conservative. Everyone abuses it. If they’re gonna keep doing it, just speed process up & stop requiring this dopey current reading. https://t.co/NDcueIWp7b — PolitiTweet.org

@heatherscope @kelsey_snell @juliegraceb @edokeefe @jim_newell Hmmm. Jan. 20, 2018? Ed was probably trying to confirm some amazing @WaPoSean reporting about the crazy Senate GOP lunch where they all yelled at Pence. Me? I was probably texting or tweeting about the Eagles Super Bowl run. — PolitiTweet.org

Please read @OKnox every day, with his Daily 202 missives. Really sharp, always on point. Today he goes into how WH, DoD, State are refusing to let us know how many Americans are part of of the 60,000 evacuees already out. Key issue going forward. https://t.co/gZkiDF0BAH — PolitiTweet.org

“Some of us were here in 2010, when we took certain votes. And the House took certain votes and the Senate didn’t take certain votes,” @RepCuellar tells Hill reporters. Asking for commitment to pre-conference with Senate final reconciliation package. To vote on same bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

The “date certain” issue on budget is being resolved. But the much bigger issue is about Dem mod squad demanding not to get BTU’d/Cap’d & Traded. Here’s @RepCuellar explaining what could become a MAJOR sticking point weeks from now: — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Does @SpeakerPelosi have votes to pass $3.5tr budget? "When we bring the bill to the floor, we will," she said exiting meeting w/ mods. What if it fails? "We don't have any intention of that happening." Translation: It passes or they pause. She won't let it fail on House floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

For House nerds wanting to go deep on “deem and pass” bills, this was actually the path Pelosi & Hoyer almost used to pass the ACA in March 2010. Here’s the Sunday A1 from back then as @loriamontgomery & me tried to explain it: https://t.co/hAlFMxwOfH — PolitiTweet.org

"... Officers had barricaded the Speaker’s Lobby with furniture before a rioter shattered glass door. If doors were breached, rioters would have immediate access to House Chambers. The officer’s actions were consistent with the officer’s training." 1/2 https://t.co/zwXj7A8h63 — PolitiTweet.org

Key line in @CapitolPolice exoneration of officer who fired at Babbitt: "...the officer in this case potentially saved Members & staff from serious injury & possible death from a large crowd of rioters who forced their way into the U.S. Capitol and to the House Chamber ..." 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Torch: "Somewhere today because I changed the gun laws, a man who would abuse his wife will never own a weapon and somebody will live. Some child in Bergen County will play in a park that I funded and land that I saved. ... Don't feel badly for me. I changed people's lives." — PolitiTweet.org

Ensign, who quit rather than testify under oath: "My caution to all of my colleagues is to surround yourself with people who will be honest with you about how you really are & what you are becoming, and then make them promise to not hold back ... I wish that I had done this." — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Best/worst farewell from Congress? A tie between John Ensign & Bob Torricelli. Ensign blamed his affair - with his wife's best friend - on friends & staff. Torch, after a 5-year FBI/ethics probe, blamed voters: "When did we become such an unforgiving people?" — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday @PKCapitol: The era of perpetual presidential impeachment is here. If Rs win House majority, it’s likely a question of when - not if - Jim Jordan begins impeachment hearings. Over what? Maybe Afghanistan. Maybe border. Both? Who knows. https://t.co/bjSS3yzkIo — PolitiTweet.org

Senators began receiving their first shots (Pfizer) on Dec. 18. That's 8 months & a day ago. Second shots started in early January. Now Graham, Wicker & King test CV+ in last couple weeks. Both as Delta variant moves about & as their vax protection is waning. — PolitiTweet.org
