Sunday @PKCapitol: Deep dive into Chester County, Pa, home to my 1st full time reporting gig. Biden won big yet Dems flamed out down ballot. Comes down to Axis of Exton, Routes 30 & 100, west of 100 is Cracker Barrel country, to the East, Whole Foods. https://t.co/IWsZUP1nIA — PolitiTweet.org

@ProfSpiker So far into being a Floridian, you just refer to "the mall in Delaware" without a Christiana Mall label. Or was it the Concord Mall? Any good journalism prof knows to include these details, Ted. (Sarcasm aside, congrats to you & Liz. And the kids!) — PolitiTweet.org

@NC_N17 Nah, that's a few miles south of there. The locals get angry whenever I describe this toll dodge, here on Twitter. I'll just say, if you get off at Exit 109, there's a great Wawa nearby, which I usually prefer over that Biden rest-stop. But the rest stop is nice, clean. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

A very nice Delaware rest-stop on I95, hope your tire gets fixed up, Mr. Pascrell. Once had a clandestine source meeting in the food court there in 2015 trying to figure out if Biden would run for WH vs Clinton. Get home safe, sir. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

The Keans of New Jersey have generally been pretty classy, in defeat or victory. @tomkean shows how to concede a very close race. Right down to the “Be safe” sign off. https://t.co/sSB9HF7HqL — PolitiTweet.org

Little known Attending Physician, Dr. Monahan. Not "little Attending Physician...." Sorry, wasn't commenting on his height. Probably taller than me! Regardless, Pelosi & McConnell shield Monahan. He will never answer Qs. Thousands of lives depend on his opaque decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

It's critically important to put weight of these decisions on shoulders of the little Attending Physician, Dr. Brian Monahan, who lives inside a bubble, making decisions impacting thousands of staff/workers in the Capitol. Yet his official policy is to ignore the public. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Grassley tested CV19+ Tuesday. Late Monday he attended 30-min~ meeting that usually includes Sens. McConnell, Thune, Barrasso, Blunt, Ernst, Fischer, Capito, Wicker, Portman. Dr. Monahan said no quarantine for rest. Via @mikedebonis @seungminkim @karoun https://t.co/pbJIV4ovIL — PolitiTweet.org

Grassley tested CV19 positive Tuesday. Late Monday he attended 30-40-min meeting that usually includes: McConnell, Thune, Barrasso, Blunt, Ernst, Fischer, Capito, Wicker, Portman. No one else is quarantining. Via @mikedebonis @seungminkim @karoun https://t.co/pbJIV4ovIL — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisDJackson I mean, Checkers was around during Nixon's VP years, but I don't think he was still around in January 1969 when RMN became president. Beyond that, there just aren't many 2-term VPs the rest of history. With even less data on the 2nd Dogs. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Had to check this, Millie Bush barked her way through HW's 2nd VP term and then moved to WH. She did 4 years at Naval Observatory, not the full 8 for Champ Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@brianros1 Yes. Someone else tweeted that JFK and LBJ cleared 600k. I tweeted that out. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

OK, I stand corrected -- Biden tally isn't an all-time record in Philly. But the most votes since 1960s for WH candidate. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Previous highest vote tally in Philly: Obama, 2008. Got 595,000 votes. Biden's overall Philly margin is off because Trump got 24,000~ more votes in 2020 than 2016. But Biden's Philly vote tally is a record. https://t.co/6YmbBMcCsQ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

One danger in our media rush to write turnout stories: slow vote counts. I too fell for Biden-did-bad-in-Phily theme that seemed clear last week. Now? He's north of 604,000 votes in the city, most ever by any candidate. Ever. More than both Obama runs. https://t.co/Q9Jn8PutkW — PolitiTweet.org

@benpershing When we get to the other side of pandemic, I really need to go spend time with Specter's papers and see what else is there. I'm sure @DVNJr got the best stuff for his Pats/cheating, but Eags fanatics like me must read all of Arlen's work. — PolitiTweet.org

@AndrewDesiderio I'm glad someone appreciated my ability to squeeze in a Specter-Patriots-Spygate reference. I know @hillhulse will like it. But I just couldn't write about our Super Bowl win without writing another 2,000 words. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Lindsey Graham's one-senator investigation into 2020 stumbled so much, he can't recall who he's talking to. Colleagues now wince as Graham careens from controversy to conspiracy theory, with little results other than media attention. One just laughed. https://t.co/ovmq5nIsYa — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

8,927 That's how many consecutive votes Chuck Grassley cast. A lotta votes. @SenSusanCollins is now north of 7,500 straight votes, possible to pass Grassley in next 6-year term. Then there's the all-time record. Proxmire: 10,252 consecutive votes https://t.co/8uMjK4ZkvK — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@kristin__wilson Do we really need multiple choice for this? — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

That circle represents Grassley missing today’s 11 am vote. First time he’s missed a vote since 1993. Get well, @ChuckGrassley - an amazing run of consecutive votes. Now @SenSusanCollins has longest active streak (almost 24 years without missing a vote). https://t.co/lfLRUDCmfY — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Graham later clarified to @igorbobic to say he’s talked to Gov Ducey and other AZ officials. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

So @ChuckGrassley was exposed to covid. He's gone 27 years w'out missing a vote. That ends today. “I will follow my doctors’ orders and immediately quarantine as I await my test results. ... it’s important we all follow public health guidelines to keep each other healthy.” — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

The R-on-R violence in this @AmyEGardner masterpiece is its own sub-read, beyond the entire obvious issue of national presidential governance: “I can’t help it that a failed candidate like Collins is running around lying to everyone. He’s a liar.” https://t.co/r8hCa3Uc4q — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Folks, one of the smartest observers of Congress has written a really unique book - @HowardMortman on the opening prayer in Congress, and the rabbinical role in it. It’s out soon. It will be different than any Washington book you give to someone for holidays. https://t.co/Y3KDORcZa6 — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

So @repdonyoung once mocked "beer virus". Now that he's gone through brutal covid phase, he tells @libcasey just how real it is: "I’ve been shot, I’ve been rolled over, I’ve been hit in the head a hundred times, but I’ve never felt as bad as I did." https://t.co/dhOwlOGkdr — PolitiTweet.org
