2020, what a year: Texting with a best friend trying to guess @springsteen’s 2 songs on SNL. God bless those who’ve battled, survived this horror. If “Santa Claus is coming to town” brightens your night, tune in. (That’s my guess for song 2) — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend @PKCapitol: It’s 2nd oldest Senate ever, with 7 octogenarians still serving. 2 of them (Lamar! and Roberts) retiring but a few more set to turn 80. Grassley (87) & Leahy (80) seem poised to run again for terms ending in mid-90s and upper 80s. https://t.co/6NZ0uWxxis — PolitiTweet.org

While suggesting she would like to get a deal by next Friday, she didn't sound optimistic. And the pandemic means holiday vacations just aren't happening, for her or McConnell. A long staring contest could be happening. — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi sends shivers down all lawmakers/staff spines: "If we need more time, then we take more time. But we have to have a bill and we cannot go home without it ... I would hope that it would honor the December 18th deadline ... We've been here after Christmas, you know." — PolitiTweet.org

"The Senate is broken, the Senate is broken," @SenatorTomUdall said in farewell. Consistent to end, called for eliminating 60-vote hurdles. He took that position in 2009, when Ds had 59-60 votes & still holds it today, with 48 Dem votes. 10 Rs on hand, including 7 westerners. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

A great @rachaelmbade piece on how House GOP recruited & supported women in key swing districts, spurring an historically unusual gain of 10~ seats as Trump got trounced in national vote. Of 13 House Dem incumbents who lost, 10 lost to GOP women. https://t.co/nyij5Ez5Pf — PolitiTweet.org

Which QB would you rather have? It’s a joke at this point as to why there is no #FlyEaglesFly Wentz stinks. Pederson refuses to admit it and keeps calling stupid games. https://t.co/GokMKsZqDJ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Senate has atrophied so much actual legislative debate no longer happens. Most bills have unofficial super-super-majority requirement (at least 85 votes) to get floor time. So @hillhulse wonderfully creates debate here, Udall vs Lamar! https://t.co/9jR0FlJnCF — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Sunday @PKCapitol: @LamarAlexander heads for retirement as one of last senators who knows how to get sh!# done. We talked about the decaying Senate, Trump, “Internet Democracy” and, of course, Davy Crockett vs Sam Houston. It’s a good read. https://t.co/0yhFUd6bGJ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

This @mikedebonis piece on @RepKinzinger is a great through line of the last decade of House Republicans: An Air Force pilot elected as 2010 outsider, who then thrived inside traditional GOP establishment, now finds himself alone as anti-Trump outsider. https://t.co/AoApOQPB4R — PolitiTweet.org

Not sure people still do "follow Fridays", but please follow @Loftus - as important a reporter there is on vaccine race. Grew up mile apart, spent all of K-12 together, ending up reporting opposite sides of CV19 stories. He's brilliant. Listen here. https://t.co/ozhpV2Xjbw — PolitiTweet.org

@RyanCostello @karentravers @amyewalter @jaketapper @KennethBaer @kenvogel @RepBrendanBoyle Amazing thing that I re-learned on recent NFL Network segment, a Reggie White highlight reel. In a flash, there was No. 91 (White) making a tackle. I'd forgotten that his 1st jersey was No. 91, then he got 92. This Didinger piece confirmed that: https://t.co/BpmrmFyee2 — PolitiTweet.org

@RyanCostello @karentravers @amyewalter @jaketapper @KennethBaer @kenvogel @RepBrendanBoyle A Kelly green, early 1990s-era Reggie White No. 92 jersey would announce one's self as a really cool, tough cucumber: https://t.co/cUpSb4CM1w — PolitiTweet.org

@danbalz But you're a better typer, so you wouldn't have added the extra dumb 's that I did. So it's not a complete ditto to my tweet. When I'm benevolent dictator for a day, the edit function for tweets won't be in my Top 5, but maybe my Top 10. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

I guess, actually, @AmyEGardner doesn't have receipts -- she's got an actual video of Perdue admitting Trump lost! "We can at least be a buffer on some of the things that the Biden camp has been talking about," he told donors, begging for their support in GA runoffs. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

If you're not following @AmyEGardner's, you're missing a tour de force in election law - newsy & easy to read. Then there's plain fun stuff like exposing Sen. Perdue's public nod to Trump's voter-fraud claims. Perdue knows DJT lost. Amy's got receipts. https://t.co/zh2aavJrML — PolitiTweet.org
