Bush, Romney, Ryan, Bolton - a Who’s Who of Republicans that Trump hates the most. It’s also lineup of traditional Rs who helped open Washington’s doors of power for @EliseStefanik. Now, allies say she doesn’t identify with them. It’s all MAGA. https://t.co/kXvzJZiG6q — PolitiTweet.org

@Redistrict you've always been better at math, my bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@Redistrict Yup. The NY delegations -1 in reapportionment could be just a -2 to House Rs. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

A spot-on point by Dave. Stefanik is in House as long as her GOP primary voters want her there. Smartest path for NY Dems is to bury as many R voters there as possible, shoring up Delgado and SPM's seats. — PolitiTweet.org

@rorycooper Have to assume today's GOP would vehemently oppose this plan, even if it were left up to states to decide, even though the vaccination program occurred under Trump's watch. The Jordanian wing would wildly oppose this. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@rorycooper When you realize Congress already appropriated nearly $5.4 trillion for 6 pieces of legislation since March 2020, it's more reasonable to say, Hey, let's use a tiny fraction of that to just pay people to take the vax shots. — PolitiTweet.org

Another @UDelaware Blue Hens win, the first road playoff win since @JoeFlacco was under center in 2007! 20-14 over Jacksonville St. 7-0, now onto @NCAA_FCS semifinals next weekend. Onward. — PolitiTweet.org

PIERRE, S.D. - @jmartNYT goes to Noem’s state Capitol to discover local Rs miffed by her “trigger-the-left approach” to gain attention for 2024. For those who knew her during 8 years in Congress - boring, avoiding attention - she’s unrecognizable. https://t.co/NRtkrZJ9Kg — PolitiTweet.org

@DNicholsSR But they could be their own bubble. Screech is here. This is a bizarre over reaction. The Presidents don’t go anywhere near players. Again, I never liked them all that much. The Teddy thing annoyed me. But this isn’t science to ban the Presidents. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

At my second Nats game in 2 days, a wonderful post-vaxx thing. I’ve always thought the Racing Presidents were kinda goofy. Now, I can’t get over this: there are no Racing Presidents and this makes no scientific, COVID sense. Why on earth are there no Racing Presidents? — PolitiTweet.org

Also, this detail is for @edokeefe - security officials wouldn’t let Schumer use his fireplace after Jan 6 for most of winter. So on a spring day when it would top 80 degrees, @SenSchumer had his fire blazing. Man loves his fireplace. First one he’s ever had. — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol column: In 20+ years of covering @SenSchumer, this was about as introspective as I've found him. We covered: * sense of "awe" at finally becoming majority leader; * belief that unity is ultimate goal; * his Zoom room; * and Happy Socks. https://t.co/0tlwdSdxtL — PolitiTweet.org

Do read this Ketanji Brown Jackson profile by @amarimow -- when confirmed, she'll be just 6th Black woman out of 286 Circuit Court judges. Whenever Breyer retires, you're read many profiles copying this very good look at frontrunner for next SCOTUS slot. https://t.co/JIioyA1LL0 — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Traditional Rs view 2017 tax cuts as signature moment of a Trump era that otherwise veered toward populism. Now, those Rs are ready to defend tax cuts similar to how Dems defended the ACA. “There’s not an appetite to undo the 2017 tax act," Thune says. https://t.co/0f15PU26mN — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Smart @JaxAlemany interview with @ossoff on 100th day of Senate majority: “There was a real recognition and appreciation that Rafael and I had delivered the majority and that none of this — I mean none of this — would be possible had we not prevailed." https://t.co/614NR6ELBi — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

I mean, Pelosi and Harris just gaveled out the House. And Biden was still there gossiping away, including with @RepFitzpatrick - who won a blowout race in suburban Philly even as Biden won his district by huge margin. Just a very unusual night. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

I feel pity for House Sgt-at-Arms & Secret Service trying to quickly usher Biden out. Instead, he’s just chit-chatting away with any lawmaker who wants to say hi. Again, like it or dislike it, he’s just kinda feeling like a senator visiting the House. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

I mean, it's so quiet in there that we have heard a senator's phone ring & a lawmaker sneeze. It's just a really different type of setting. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

One thing about this setting - a House chamber that has 1/8th normal number of people for a SOTU/joint address - it's a less formal atmosphere. Biden's ad libbing here & there, he feels almost as if he's delivering speech to half empty Senate. Probably helps him. — PolitiTweet.org

Nice touch by House Dems to appoint @RepLBR to "escort committee" ushering Biden into House chamber tonight. It's traditionally just bipartisan leadership teams, but Blunt Rochester grew up in Del. as a Biden constituent. LBR will, no doubt, eventually rise to the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Smart move by @LeaderHoyer @RepJeffries to publicly call for House Approps to boost congressional staff $$$. A 2011 pay cut got coupled with sequestration, as DC cost of living soared, left staff $$$ down by 20%. Big pay hike is much needed. https://t.co/4YZvv5hOv0 — PolitiTweet.org
