@jmartNYT @SenShelby @campbellnyt @hillhulse @JakeSherman @jestei @BFischerMartin @alexburnsNYT @toddcstacy @ericawerner @seungminkim Shelby practices raw power politics in ways that today's senators don't even know exists. He should give tutorials about how to wield power rather than just handing it all to McConnell & Schumer. — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is starting to clear the field for Ark. Governor in 2022, and if she wins Gov, she will very much be among Rs mentioned for VP in 2024. Like it or hate it, SHS will be a GOP VP contender if she wins this Gov race. — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday @PKCapitol: The Last of the Econ Conservative Mohicans, @SenToomey still pushes supply-side, free-trade, less-spending policy in Trump’s populist GOP. With PJT & @senrobportman leaving, Senate GOP about to suffer massive brain drain. https://t.co/ir9XlEkXBU — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin McCarthy used his own personal tale of rising, falling, rising, falling - right down to missing the speaker’s gavel in 2015 amid rumors about his marriage - to try to forge GOP unity. It worked. For now. Inside Wednesday’s GOP family discussion. https://t.co/UHIUnstXPY — PolitiTweet.org

Revealing Steve Richetti Q&A with @PunchbowlNews - WH sees the checks as a campaign promise that can’t be broken. “The additional $1,400 in the checks is vitally important and was really certainly at the top of the list for us in terms of what we think is important.” — PolitiTweet.org

This vote is momentous not just for LC, but also @GOPLeader - McCarthy spoke strongly in Cheney’s defense, per R in room. If she loses, he loses too. He won’t look like a leader, just a guy out for a walk. — PolitiTweet.org

Getting closer: Sources inside House GOP marathon “family discussion” say they’re down to the last few speakers. After that Rs appear likely to vote yea/nay on whether @RepLizCheney should be punished & removed from No 3 leadership post for voting to impeach Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
