Follow @WakeUp2Politics as Gabe spends more time here in Capitol. His 'reporter notebooks' are gonna explain stuff that oldsters like me take for granted, but are revealing to most readers. Today's gem: Wyden calling on himself. “Senator Wyden? Aye!” https://t.co/D1OYUouGGp — PolitiTweet.org

Warner funeral reminds me of McCain funeral 3 years ago, also in WNC. Then it was a call to arms for traditional GOP to reclaim power from Trump nativists. This is call to arms for bipartisan Senate of Warner-Biden heyday. McCain service failed mission, miserably. Will this? — PolitiTweet.org

@jbendery @kristin__wilson That's a really nice clock. But if it's from Ohio, why does it seem to say PHILADELPHIA in the middle of it? I wonder if that clock actually isn't from Ohio. Maybe it's from Philadelphia. And if so, maybe that should be called the Philadelphia Clock Corridor. — PolitiTweet.org

For those wanting to watch the John Warner memorial service, here's a link to the National Cathedral's streaming of the event. With Biden doing the eulogy, expect lotsa stuff about the old Senate Foreign Relations vs Armed Services rivalry. https://t.co/g14XTNWrAK — PolitiTweet.org

Nats fans: I love Max. I’m gonna track every night he pitches here to try to see a 1st-ballot guy throw. But he’s admitting that he’s used “tack”. Just as others have. He’s not some angel. Still admire him. https://t.co/S27aV5YVDL — PolitiTweet.org

Gonna miss this guy's steady demeanor, smart questioning. In studio, when some of the craziest callers would go on & on, 4 am West Coast time, Steve would calmly, smartly draw them into asking a Q. Godspeed, Scully. https://t.co/qdFgYxoD8k — PolitiTweet.org

This poll/analysis is the rebuttal to my tweet about Grassley polling poorly in Iowa: It's going to be really hard for a Dem to win there in '22. Really hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Colorado, Oregon & Virginia are all solidly blue in state capitals, with 25 US House seats among them. But Dems in each state ceded redistricting power to independent commissions. "Democrats are cursed with this blindness." Great @allymutnick read. https://t.co/AtS7qYADik — PolitiTweet.org

Oh man, this is so awesome. But man dear @TheAnthemDC - let's make one of these happen here. Grohl and Chappelle are our hometown folks! — PolitiTweet.org

You win NBA playoffs through half-court offense and half-court defense. Always been that way, always will. As much as Ben helps on defense, he crushes the offense over 7-game series. He's awful in playoffs. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Each trip down floor Simmons just stands as far away as possible from the ball, making it a 4-vs-5 option. We have a chance to win this game, but it's just not sustainable. Simmons is so afraid to shoot, he can't even dunk the ball. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Existential problem with Ben Simmons: He's the worst playoff player possible. Over 7 games, each inadequacy is exponentially multiplied, each proficiency is discredited. He's so easy to coach against. Over 82 individual games, those weaknesses aren't exploited. — PolitiTweet.org

@GarrettVentry I did add a later point t talking about IA Dems pretty lame recent track record. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

The same poll showed a surge in approval for how @joniernst is handling her job as a senator, so it's not as if this poll has some anti-GOP screening of voters. Of course, IA Democrats have track record of fielding bland candidates with little cross-over appeal. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

37% of Republicans & 68% of independents say it's time for someone new. Grassley, 87, elected in 1980, has easily won every 6 years. McConnell is on full charm offensive to make sure he runs. Grassley did big $$ event last weekend in Williamsburg. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Holy crap, I missed this. Either worst Selzer poll ever in Iowa, or @ChuckGrassley is in serious danger. No one has this seat seriously in play. Not after Selzer's final '20 poll accurately predicted Ernst & Trump blowout wins there. Game changer? https://t.co/PKkuYysAuc — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine if Jeter dropped W's perfect pitch in the 2001 World Series! Come on, Schwarber. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Only thing Schwarber's done wrong is his passed ball on Officer Goodman's first pitch Friday night. When a hero cop throws from top of mound, delivering a 1-hop strike, Schwarber's gotta catch that ball! Come on, man. https://t.co/h1GD7H4ahF — PolitiTweet.org

The original House/Senate calendars were drawn up late last year, amid peak pandemic & when Rs controlled Senate. Legislative ambitions were low. Now, with Ds fully in charge, Pelosi & Schumer will need to claw back some August recess & Sept time away. https://t.co/umG8dvR7PT — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Weekend @PKCapitol: I hate to break this news, but everyone on Capitol Hill needs to just gut original legislative calendar. It’s not gonna fly. From late June thru Labor Day, Senate is in just 16 days. From July 2-Sept 19, House is in just 9 days. https://t.co/umG8dvR7PT — PolitiTweet.org
