Every time McCarthy forces this issue, it just highlights how dozens upon dozens of House Rs either refuse to get vaccinated or won't tell Capitol physician they're vaccinated. Rs want their freedom, but they refuse to take steps needed to get it back. — PolitiTweet.org

What about all that "fundraging" for House Dems? All that late $$$ goes mostly to one place: Traditional TV ads that aren't very effective. “We are still overweighted on old media & we need to invest more in organizing & digital," SPM tells me. https://t.co/6oMBWiXEnq — PolitiTweet.org

In one Iowa district, Dems final poll predicted just 4% of voters would be low-propensity Rs. Reality: 5.9%. In South Florida, final poll predicted 38% of voters being Ds, 33% Rs. Instead, just 34% were Ds, 36% Rs. Both Ds lost. Same everywhere. https://t.co/6oMBWiXEnq — PolitiTweet.org

Your midweek @PKCapitol column: My exclusive look at @spmaloney's "Deep Dive" into what went wrong for House Dems in 2020. In short: Polling missed Trump surge in voters, and with those extra voters, socialism/defund attacks were more potent. https://t.co/6oMBWiXEnq — PolitiTweet.org

Perfectly on cue, CNN updated their story from last week. Here's every House member who acknowledged getting vaxxed. All 219 Ds got the shots, only 95 Rs will say so. Of remaining 116 Rs, some are vaxxed & won't admit it, many refused shots. https://t.co/ozvvu3khRb — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

.... CNN has surveyed entire House: All 219 Dems say they're vaccinated, but only 95 of 211 Rs will state their status. The rest refuse to answer. If there's been no increase in vaxx rate since early March, it's all because House Rs won't get the shots. It's on them. 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

In early March McCarthy declared 75% of members were vaccinated & House should return to pre-pandemic voting/committee rules. In letter today, his leadership team stated "at least 75%" are vaccinated. No increase in more than 2 months. Up to 100 members refusing shots ... 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

I talked with @camoosomiller for her "Friday Reporter" pod, a long talk about my early days at UD, avoiding law school, then getting my "Masters" by covering Jersey politics & the heyday of Roll Call. Then, inevitably, we talked Jan. 6. Give a listen. https://t.co/ChOAyzgVm8 — PolitiTweet.org

As @ToryNewmyer & @Post_AG lay out, @USChamber used to be major GOP $$$ in campaigns: Between $29m & $37m in '10, '12, '14, '16 cycles. In 2020: $5.7m. McConnell is furious at this decline. https://t.co/tg4vqiqnPY — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Chamber changed its vote-scoring system in '19-'20, so much so that GOP Rep. Brady, who wrote 2017 tax cuts, scored lower than Dem Rep. Fletcher. She won reelection & voted pro-union this year. https://t.co/tg4vqiqnPY — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

"If you want to join something that’s a wing of the Republican Party, go for it. And if we don’t fit your needs, that’s fine." The @USChamber sticks to guns vs. GOP, as Senate Rs ban Chamber from hearings. Big @ToryNewmyer @Post_AG joint here. https://t.co/tg4vqiqnPY — PolitiTweet.org

So back on Feb. 3, with Trump out to get her, Liz Cheney won 145 out of 206 votes cast. 70.3% Today, with Trump’s full support, as well as McCarthy & Scalise, Stefanik got 134 of 192 votes. 69.8% Go figure. — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy's last 24 hours -- overseeing Cheney's ouster, then heading to WH & claiming bipartisanship -- illustrated his longtime MO: Always trying to be everyone's friend. Sometimes that means never really pleasing anyone. https://t.co/9l1oGIfNjT — PolitiTweet.org
