On this bill in 2020, 113 House Rs voted to keep Confederate statues in Capitol, 72 (including McCarthy & Scalise & Emmer) voted to remove statues. More than 60% of House Rs voted to keep Confederate statues. Today's vote will be interesting to see if that number goes up. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

McCarthy's right on the history, Dems of yesteryear were the bigots/Jim Crow supporters. But if past is prologue, the only members who vote to keep Confederate statues in Capitol will be today's Republicans. That's how it went in 2020: https://t.co/XaG8UK95EQ — PolitiTweet.org

This @meridithmcgraw dispatch reads like @CameronCrowe's Almost Famous, with groupies & back-up stars. Except it's ex-POTUS, @mtgreenee & thousands of real people living an alternate reality. “How do you run for president if you’re already president?” https://t.co/hwXcGRUxYG — PolitiTweet.org

@ByJamesWagner Worlds are colliding, Jerry! When a former coworker ends up on a college newspaper classmate's podcast, I'm gonna give a listen. I hope @jeffpearlman found a way to discuss Jeff Trout's standout career as a UD Blue Hen, paving way for his son Mike's stardom. — PolitiTweet.org

... Nichols was the face of USCP during '98 Chestnut/Gibson shooting; 9/11; Oct. 2001 anthrax attacks. He spoke frequently, calmly, giving what info he could. That spirit/transparency has been missing past 15~ years. Here's his @cspan highlight reel: https://t.co/69yGDvSixR — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol: Once mocked as “Jerry Peters,” @SenGaryPeters is an early star in new Congress. A committee chair investigating 1/6 & cyber attacks, he’s got bipartisan buy-in. Plus he’s running DSCC for ‘22, tacking in different strategic direction. https://t.co/1E6R5IoXKF — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy finally met with 2 officers who were on hand Jan. 6. They pleaded with GOP leader to denounce 21 Rs who opposed awarding Gold Medal to cops & others spreading 1/6 conspiracies. "It’s important to hear those denouncements publicly." W/ @amybwang https://t.co/ZMiFAeMHXW — PolitiTweet.org

“They’ve give me their word,” Biden said of Senate Rs in this deal. “Where I come from that’s good enough for me.” The full weight of the presidency is now behind this track. Going bipartisan on infra. A lot can still go sideways. But Biden has called the play. — PolitiTweet.org

@awbozzi One thing your super PAC could push for is lawmakers/candidates to allow their local press to attend or live stream fundraisers. It was actually revolutionary of the Biden campaign to do that. More should do so. — PolitiTweet.org

The bloom is off the rose: For 4 straight months, Feb through May, congressional approval was north of 30%. Which, for Congress, is actually about as popular as it gets. Now, per @GallupNews, it's back down to 26%. Why? Dem voters increasingly angry. https://t.co/Or3OR9ZdN9 — PolitiTweet.org

For those asking about @Sen_JoeManchin & the filibuster, here's what he said today: "The filibuster is where it is, she is where she is." We'll let you know if that changes, but honestly, that's just where it is. She is where she is. — PolitiTweet.org
