Said with an incredible amount of respect, as a Phillies fan: Scherzer’s contract is the greatest long term deal of this century. Worth every dollar. — PolitiTweet.org

@BryanLowry3 @igorbobic Bryan -- I don't know Igor's athletic background. Maybe he's secretly a great slugger, or pitcher, and if he plays for the Nats, he'll lead them to victory. Don't give Rizzo any ideas. Our woeful Phillies need every possible advantage. — PolitiTweet.org

A Senate with 50 Democrats who approached their job like Carl Levin, and 50 Republicans who approached their job like Mike Enzi, you'd have a much more productive Senate. True workhorses, not show horses. Levin, 87, died today, 3 days after Enzi. https://t.co/Fk3EIWppOg — PolitiTweet.org

“He’s earned his pay.” A great @mikedebonis look inside how @SenSchumer has navigated this summer of endless negotiations. Now poised for an even narrow tightrope walk. https://t.co/K8pLAsApQs — PolitiTweet.org

@alweaver22 Not sure I'd want that bet right now. Not until we know more about Harper and Hoskins leaving today's 2nd game. — PolitiTweet.org

Phillies were 2 swings away from being swept by a Nats squad that was Soto & a JuCo team. Yes, they won, only 3 1/2 games behind Mets. But good grief, what a frustrating team, 51-51. After going 80-82 in '18, 81-81 in '19. Same team, different year. Just so ... average. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@DonnaCassata Exactly. Him and Hassan, 2 years removed from her last successful win, prove my point. They've run modern races. All those other ex-Govs haven't run recent races, only Angus won. Nixon's 2012 win in Missouri Gov is basically from a different century, politically speaking. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

This was destined to be a Bayh/Strickland/Kerrey/Bredesen type of candidacy, had Nixon run. Angus K is only former Gov who’s come out of retirement, 10+ years removed from his last win, and won. If Dems have any chance in MO, they’ll need a fresh face & Grietens as R nom. — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Dove, a fiercely independent Senate parliamentarian, who lost his job in a standoff with a majority leader 20 years ago, died this morning in Charleston. His family with him. Here’s a profile I did of his daughter when she retired last year. https://t.co/ywFGJxkxxj — PolitiTweet.org

16+ months later, evergreen tweet. The utter refusal of Congress’s Attending Physician to ever speak publicly about his COVID advice around Capitol complex is breathtakingly stupid. He only talks to members, yet there are thousands of other staff impacted by his advice. — PolitiTweet.org

Always read @daveweigel: Key note from "Trailer" post this evening: "The Texas race was a test of just how little a Trump-backed candidate could do while still coming out ahead." He nailed it. Susan Wright stunk, did nothing, lost. He saw this coming. https://t.co/u3m1uackYw — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday @PKCapitol: How Biden is doing often depends on the timeframe in which you're looking. Over any 6-day window, it's chaos & choppy waters. Over 6-month window, it's slow & steady success. But these next 6 days are pretty crucial. https://t.co/kjmpeH8WXt — PolitiTweet.org

“Freedom is for outside. But if you come into my house, my restaurant, I can ask.” A great @petulad column on Fairfax restaurateur taking vaccine mandates into his own hands. Expect a lot more of this in coming weeks. And it’s perfectly legal. https://t.co/eMWPVOPqoN — PolitiTweet.org

@Mopshell @MollyJongFast @jonallendc Sorry for confusion -- Jon was making an inside joke. I am most certainly not a senator. But I did grow a beard during pandemic, which, frankly, used to be politically disqualifying. @StuPolitics once wrote an entire column on failed bearded Senate candidates, I believe. — PolitiTweet.org

... in 2000, Carnahan died 3+ weeks before election & Mizzou law mandated he stay on ballot for Senate. In 2002, Wellstone died 11 days before Senate race, MN law mandated his name be replaced on ballot. If this happens in presidential race, it's chaos. Each state is different. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Really important @RodneyDavis & @RepSpanberger proposal: Replacing a presidential candidate who dies before Election. It's a doomsday scenario, as all states have their own laws about how & when candidates can be replaced on ballot. .... https://t.co/HhwZqptjFs — PolitiTweet.org
