@Grace_Segers @Poynter @npfandos Fandos hitting the “bypass” button - as we took the Senators-only elevator to safety - is one of those strange, indelible memories of that day. As if he were a 25-year veteran of the place. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate has twice before used special trial committees, on judicial impeachments, upheld by SCOTUS. Allowing full Senate to focus on its work, until full trial held. One took a full year. Some believe this would've worked for Trump trial. But, nope. https://t.co/tzCdK3bXTj — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

My @PKCapitol on Senate trial: They could've created special trial committee to issue subpoenas, conduct depositions, while full Senate went on with Biden agenda. Instead, essential Qs - what did Trump know & when did he know - will go unanswered. https://t.co/tzCdK3bXTj — PolitiTweet.org

@nicholaswu12 @LauraRBelin @jbendery @jamiedupree @igorbobic @seungminkim @lindsaywise Late to this. Big variable here is 2 things happened politically once, starting with lots of House Rs retiring in 2020 & opening up spots on good committees. Then in Nov. Rs netted seats, narrowed Dem margin & got more seats on those panels. So McCarthy has lotsa spots to give. — PolitiTweet.org

In his final #TimeToWakeUp climate change speech, @SenWhitehouse said that “dawn” has arrived. It was time “to get to work”. Then - he literally dropped his mic to end his 280~th speech on this topic. — PolitiTweet.org

Update: @SenatorLeahy is home from GW hospital, per his staff. Leahy skipped this morning's opening of the Senate (his role as Senate pro temp), then went to GW at attending physician suggestion. He's out now. Get well, PJL. — PolitiTweet.org

Vermont has moderate R Gov, who recently pledged to replace Bernie with a D if he got a cabinet post. If there was a vacancy, pressure would mount to give Rs brief Senate majority. (VT law requires a special election within 6 months, when Ds would be heavily favored.) — PolitiTweet.org

@perrybaconjr yeah, ultimately, nothing changed. Manchin, Sinema were already opposed (for now) to nuking filibuster. And Dems reserve right to go nuclear later this year. This is what Reid did in Jan. 2013 -- committed to not go nuclear for 2 years, then did it 10 months later. — PolitiTweet.org

Gonna bookmark Cruz's intro of a term-limit bill that, if he applied it to himself, would mean he will retire in 2024: "SECTION 2. No person who has served 2 terms as a Senator shall be eligible for election or appointment to the Senate." https://t.co/TlMpDd4ojL — PolitiTweet.org

"I think it's a moot point," @SenatorRounds tells @chucktodd on "Meet", dismissing need for an impeachment trial. This is big. If there's any chance of getting 17 Rs to convict, it would come from the batch of under-radar Rs west of the Mississippi. Not looking likely. — PolitiTweet.org

AZ state GOP is going way of Virginia. Lost 2 straight Senate races & Biden won there. In '22, another Senate & Gov's race on AZ ballot. Its US House delegation dominated by fringe conservatives. — PolitiTweet.org

@jmartNYT The only AS games he missed were his rookie season (he won ROY, by the way) and his last season. His career numbers, in an era with a dead ball & higher pitching mounds, no PEDs, dwarf those of Pujols & ARod. — PolitiTweet.org
