What do we think @daveweigel @danpfeiffer @BillR and other expert Delawareans -- does Christiana hospital get a NEWARK dateline? I guess the hospital and mall are pretty much in unincorporated area, with a Newark zip code. Maybe. Just never thought of it as being in Newark. — PolitiTweet.org

The little committee that could got its lease on life renewed today, as Pelosi gave @RepDerekKilmer 2 more years as chair of select modernizing committee. He'll miss wing man, retiring @RepTomGraves, but they did great work. Here's my October column: https://t.co/Og7mk52iqY — PolitiTweet.org

@daveweigel I have thought about that final "Raiders ..." scene every time something gets banished from Capitol. I have asked soooo many people where Denny Hastert portrait went, and no one seems to know. Same with the removal this summer of portraits of speakers tied to Confederacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Keep following this story today for final throes of what will be a 5th covid relief bill, bringing total to almost $4 trillion. The 1st 4 bills took 7 weeks, the 5th has taken 8 months. Via @JStein_WaPo @mikedebonis @rachsieg https://t.co/wvwVhqxKYj — PolitiTweet.org

For almost 2 years, McConnell has deferred to Mnuchin to lead most talks. When MM is in room, Dems never know what he's thinking. McCarthy complained Pelosi & Schumer did 90% of talking. “Well, you know Mitch doesn’t speak that often,” she retorted. https://t.co/DMteYeAKsP — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday @PKCapitol: Biden is inheriting a very dysfunctional "4 Corners" of Congress: Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, McCarthy. They've met just twice all year. McConnell & Schumer loathe one another, Pelosi & McCarthy have little respect for each other. https://t.co/DMteYeAKsP — PolitiTweet.org

I remember in early 2009 Isakson got big vote for amendment to stimulus to spur home buying. He then voted against the overall Senate bill. In conference the isakson amendment was immediately stripped. He understood, that’s how sausage was made. Not anymore. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

One bygone Congressional tradition - enforced by powerful GOP chairs like Stevens, Thomas, Tauzin, Grassley, Strom - was if you got your key provision, you had to vote for the bill. Whether Toomey language is in or out, it’s hard to see him voting yes on final $2.4tr package. — PolitiTweet.org

Capitol will soon have Zombie Congressmen. Seriously: 45 House members retiring (defeated/retiring). They lose offices any day now (if they haven't already). Staff lose access to email and such. Even 5 retiring senators essentially lose staff as of Monday. #NoEndInSightHere — PolitiTweet.org

@jarowley @eilperin You and me both, Jim. But you've been here even longer, so that makes me feel better. Every time out of town friends were here, it was either closed for repair or lines too long, so I never went up. AFter 25 years, never made it up there. — PolitiTweet.org

Had no clue Washington Monument had reopened in October. Not sure about an elevator ride that long if strangers were in the lift too. Anyway, there's always next year for finally going up this monument, now that it's closed again. Scoop: @eilperin https://t.co/VZSYD1LhnA — PolitiTweet.org

Not full retirement, to be clear. Mark is just taking a step back, at 83, from his full-time schedule of jam-packed stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Shields never stopped working, never. Every December, amid holiday hoopla, he'd come to Capitol for a media party & buttonhole me for latest Hill gossip. So gracious, nice, tireless. Enjoy retirement, Mark. You earned it. Missed our chat this year. https://t.co/wMdo7ugiQc — PolitiTweet.org
