@Jimmyspolitics @kelsey_snell @DougAndres Jimmy! When you worked in the Senate, this particular bodega was 90% for Capitol Police. These days, they're portably 70% of the customer base. They're cops -- they aren't thieves. I'm more worried about my fellow reporters! Also, there's a security camera. :) — PolitiTweet.org

PSA for Capitol denizens: Refectory has reopened on the Senate side. It’s an honor system, self-service 24-7 setup. Coffee, all the things, they’re there.Just pay for what you take. CC: @kelsey_snell @DougAndres https://t.co/eoSLbQ8wNb — PolitiTweet.org

They spent months spewing this messaging that masks only helped others, not you the one wearing the mask. Sadly, America is in a very selfish period. Better messaging would’ve been - save the mask to save your own life. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

It’s remarkable that it took CDC 7-ish months to accept obvious science of how masks protect those wearing them, as today’s NYT Pg 6 graphic explains: “... The particles that eventually reach someone else’s mask get filtered again, reducing the number that get through.” https://t.co/ftSacUArOs — PolitiTweet.org

@BresPolitico @amyewalter In writing today’s column I dug through old Biden interviews and times he came to Capitol as VP and talked to us. Unearthed a real gem, a rare Bidenism: “Jesus criminy Christ!” — PolitiTweet.org

On Biden's last visit to Senate, as VP, he chatted w/ reporters, growing nostalgic & telling all the old '72 car crash, Helms-Mansfield stories. But he knew it had changed: "I thought the place was so incredible. I really did." He used the past tense. https://t.co/O4tSc8YJyI — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Biden can't believe how impersonal today's Senate is, beginning with senators-only dining room: “Not only is there nobody in there, there’s no tables in there anymore. There are lounge chairs. .. I’m thinking to myself, Jesus criminy Christ!” https://t.co/O4tSc8YJyI — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Sunday @PKCapitol: Biden waxes poetic about Senate, but deep down he knows it's changed: “I don’t like to see what’s happened to it. I don’t like to see how it has — how it’s devolved," he told me in '16. I went thru bunch of old interviews for this one. https://t.co/O4tSc8YJyI — PolitiTweet.org

@TedNesi @davidcicilline Dissent is welcome. And I'm not trying to guarantee the outcomes, I know enough to know how little I know. Cicilline, should he win, would still be a complete "newcomer" to a top leadership post, after 12 years in the House -- all served under the Pelosi-Hoyer-Clyburn troika. — PolitiTweet.org

In Election Day news conference, Pelosi predicted she would gain seats: “House Democrats are poised to further strengthen our majority — the biggest, most diverse, most dynamic, women-led House majority in history." Dems are on pace to losing 8~ seats. — PolitiTweet.org

@JesseLehrich @IanSams @AJentleson @brianefallon Well, probably because your side went -4 in that Senate cycle, despite a close presidential race. Losses after retirements included seats held by Fritz, Zell, Graham, Breaux. People thought Allen was a genius, when really it was just southern realignment. Then, macaca. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@IanSams @JesseLehrich @AJentleson @brianefallon When George Allen chaired NRSC ('04 cycle), he literally bracketed races into NFL Divisions: NFC South (open seats in NC, SC, GA, FL, LA) NFC Central (Wisc, SD, Ohio, etc). 2 straight years of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@pmontenegro_ Dems lost the Hill seat north of LA in a special, then said they'd win it back in November, but again appear to be losing it. Plus, the OC losses. Sorry to lump OC into LA, but with tweet limited characters, I just lumped altogether. — PolitiTweet.org

When dust settles, the 4 House Dems in line behind the 80-somethings could be: Jeffries, 50; Clark, 57; Aguilar, 41; SP Maloney, 54. That Dem quartet has served a combined 29 years in House. Pelosi-Hoyer-Clyburn have served 100+ years combined. https://t.co/3KF4VEFqAu — PolitiTweet.org

Watch next week's down-ballot leadership races to see House Dem future, once 3 80-something move on. (Whenever that is.) Jeffries solidifying standing as @KatherineClark star rising, but must beat Cicilline. @RepCardenas battles @RepSeanMaloney for DCCC. https://t.co/3KF4VEFqAu — PolitiTweet.org

“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.” - Schumer, July 2016. These House/Senate races this year leave that in doubt. — PolitiTweet.org

House Dems lose seats in LA suburbs, failed to win 1 targeted suburban TX seat. Nothing in PA, despite Biden romp in Philly burbs,. Now McCarthy guarantees GOP majority in '22. Picking up where he left off, @mikedebonis goes inside Dem suburban flameout. https://t.co/lyhYVjbqAR — PolitiTweet.org
