This is @SenatorTimScott's "keep it simple" view of POTUS rebuttal speech. W/ @mikedebonis on lead: "Figure out who your audience is, you figure out what you want to say, and you try to find a way to say it well. And you lean into who you are.” https://t.co/GhglURgkGa — PolitiTweet.org

@seungminkim Does this mean I don't get to have my own virtual guest? Can a virtual guest of someone else have her/his own virtual guest? — PolitiTweet.org

Welcome back, @perrybaconjr A lot has changed since you left, but don't worry, I still sit at my same desk in the Capitol (except on WFH days). Great move by @hiattf https://t.co/Fx25zMiLFw — PolitiTweet.org

20 years from now congressional flacks will still ask me to connect to an ‘op-ed’ editor for their boss’s submission. Some things are just baked. — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 But you’re missing the movement of the lineup. Rhys is hitting now because Bryce is raking, therefore pitchers are throwing strikes to Rhys and balls to Harper. And then strikes to JT. The key is Bryce hitting in that order and everyone feeds off it. — PolitiTweet.org

Very buzzy @juliegraceb interview with @RepLizCheney down in Orlando: * Liz considering 2024 run for WH; * Cruz & Hawley's Jan. 6 actions are "disqualifying" to be GOP nominee in '24; * Wants a nominee with an "adherence to the Constitution". https://t.co/WCaZp8hCcY — PolitiTweet.org

Time to start paying attention to the other SMC -- not Susan M. Collins, but Shelley Moore Capito. Time to focus on the other West Virginia senator -- not Manchin, but Capito. It's a moment for @SenCapito A wicked smart piece by @burgessev https://t.co/3BpiAFLbxT — PolitiTweet.org

Sports twitter that’s now also politics twitter: @UDelaware Blue Hens winning first FCS/I-AA playoff game since 2010! Back when @POTUS was still VP & when @JoeFlacco wasn’t yet an elite NFL QB! Go Hens. 19-10 over Sacred Heart. 6-0, on to quarterfinals. — PolitiTweet.org

Few Dems are willing to say it out loud, but they want Breyer, 82, to retire sooner rather than later, given tenuous 50-50 Senate. "Elections always have risks, so hopefully he’s aware of that risk and he sees it accordingly," @SenBlumenthal says. https://t.co/KDXRDlbcST — PolitiTweet.org

This @danbalz "Take" is must-read. He traces historic arc from 1965 Bloody Sunday on Pettus Bridge to Floyd's murder & Chauvin trial. But Biden's civil rights agenda is packed (HR1, Voting Rights Act, cop reform). What gets top priority? https://t.co/BcPbkanIgi — PolitiTweet.org

How male House Rs view @RepLizCheney: “You look up into the stands and see your girlfriend on the opposition’s side." That line infuriated GOP women, who circulated it widely. One of many @DraperRobert gems in this piece. https://t.co/b4AiA7EVR8 — PolitiTweet.org

@BryanLowry3 Ben had an "illness". This NBA stuff with resting stars is just goofy. At least in other sports the players still suit up & are on bench, available to pinch hit, something like that. Simmons on defense in Q4 changes that game, a lot. — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, @SpeakerBoehner comes down on historical side that Trump was the effect, not the cause, of the GOP's slide. The natural outcome from a broken conservative ecosystem: "Trump was a product of an increasingly dysfunctional political system.” 4/4 https://t.co/awmpQvZOmm — PolitiTweet.org

He backs Liz: “I’m a conservative Republican, alright, so is Liz Cheney. We’re just not crazy… You people in the media want to talk about these people being on the right. They’re in the crazy caucus ... It’s got nothing to do with being conservative." 3/ https://t.co/awmpQvZOmm — PolitiTweet.org
