“The first time I was in the Democratic Speaker’s Office was when I was speaker.” - @SpeakerPelosi opens up to @ktumulty & others about the early days in the House, when Dem speakers ignored her, and her potential memoir: “Set the record straight." https://t.co/gHdOMKyAbz — PolitiTweet.org

Great encapsulation of lame-duck Congress dynamics. It's not about actual policy, but instead this slow movement is about internal Republican politics. McCarthy & McConnell are getting hit from their right flank. @MariannaReports @LACaldwellDC @TonyRomm https://t.co/qpKzaxAyoQ — PolitiTweet.org

Real chance for a House Dem star to be born: Rs hold 18 seats Biden won, 10 of which he won 5%-plus. Ds hold 5 seats Trump won, 4 of which by 4% or less. Next DCCC chair could be majority maker in 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

My midweek @PKCapitol column: House & Senate Dems far outperformed expectations in November midterms, but neither @RepJeffries nor @SenSchumer has picked a '24 DSCC/DCCC chief. Dtrip shaping up as HJ's 1st big choice & Senate map complicates DSCC pick. https://t.co/RQ7OxJdKHo — PolitiTweet.org

“You are getting into hypotheticals ... not focused on that ... not even going to speculate ...I’m focused right now on finishing the lame duck." The many ways @SenSchumer & Dems ducked Q's about Sinema's future. Via @lizcgoodwin @cdechalus https://t.co/rc96RuTyKw — PolitiTweet.org

Is that a rushing touchdown? How does that get scored? So glad I don’t do fantasy NFL right now. — PolitiTweet.org

I just rewatched @bryceharper3’s home run again. It’s been 7 weeks & yet I broke into wild screaming & laughter all over again. Smoltz analysis pitch by pitch is a Hollywood screen play. When do pitchers & catchers report? Oh, sorry. #FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/eZLZjV0jXQ — PolitiTweet.org

.... McCain then realized his rabble-rousing reputation of his Annapolis days was well known, so he added this joke of his trips to Philly for Army-Navy: "And of course I didn't partake in any alcoholic beverages in those days." 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

"After that game was over, if you were a Midshipmen or Cadet, you could not buy a meal or a drink. I mean, everybody talks about Philadelphia [fans], you know, in a rather disparaging way, but they were wonderful to us." - John McCain to us in Philly 2017, recalling Army-Navy 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Your Sunday @PKCapitol column: No, Dems will not punish @kyrstensinema in any form inside the Senate. Not how this works. See Harry Reid with Lieberman. “This decision had not so much to do with forgiveness as it did with simple math,” Reid wrote. https://t.co/RKLSZpSDul — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

"We’re going to have to get incremental progress on a lot of things ... people that want to go big and be bold is probably not a realistic plan.” So @rep_stevewomack lives in the real world, as @MariannaReports lays out in great story here on R mods. https://t.co/yOi2FkzZsN — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Warnock has never really delivered this kinda victory speech. Few saw his last one - early morning Jan 6, 2021. It was a zoom-type video address. No crowd. Pandemic. And 12 hours later the Capitol was under siege. https://t.co/3reQwF2F9l — PolitiTweet.org

Today -- 1 year, 11 months later -- Congress awards its prestigious Gold Medal to @CapitolPolice @DCPoliceDept for incredible 1/6 heroism. Here's my June 2021 column explaining why it goes to entire forces, not just Officer Goodman (a true patriot). https://t.co/QHbEOFKDyk — PolitiTweet.org

This @dataforprogress horse-race #GASen poll may be right, maybe not. To me, most notable data point is independent voters in Georgia: * 42% view Biden "very unfavorable"; * 54% view Trump "very unfav". Story of midterm: Trump hate trumps Biden hate. https://t.co/frm9BGV2d7 — PolitiTweet.org

“We both agree that Roma Pizza is the best pizza in New York.” A very flavorful @marianne_levine @sarahnferris report on Schumer & Jeffries at the helm of Senate/House Dems. Special note to how Dems can be "governing majority" on big House votes. https://t.co/2EYfIhS6Jl — PolitiTweet.org
