So @SenMikeLee tested + for coronavirus, but attended SCOTUS hearing in person a few days after having serious fever, yet @SenTedCruz - negative & no symptoms - appeared via video. It's complicated. My PKCap take: CV19 was the real witness at today.. https://t.co/jiCwbdhLZG — PolitiTweet.org

The 1st day of SCOTUS hearing is arguably the most vainglorious thing the Senate does. All 22 members of committee give opening statements, then 3 more intro statements. All the while nominee has to sit there, silently nodding, for 4-5 hours before she/he gets to speak. — PolitiTweet.org

NFC East is combined 4-15-1. The Cowboys 2 wins came on last-second FGs, Eagles win came against 2nd/3rd string QBs for Niners. Hard to overstate how bad these teams are. Now Dak's injury, with Washington moving to 3rd-string QB, makes division even worse. If that's possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Oddly, I’ll consider this a good loss. At least there were moments the offense looked like a real NFL offense. Our defense remains like every Schwartz defense before it. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Stay positive. Stay positive. That drive is why we still have faith in Carson. #FlyEaglesFly — PolitiTweet.org

Ok, that first half ending was really Andy Reid-era bad ... nope, ok. I’m not complaining. Those last 2 throws are exactly why you can’t give up on Wentz. He’s so gifted. There are problems but, my gosh, those throws were perfect. Let’s go Eagles. — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. I tweeted this & we scored a TD. #FlyEaglesFly — PolitiTweet.org

Go Cowboys. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

An important friend reminds me that I’m supposed to keep up the Costanza-opposite-day feelings. And try to think positive about the Eagles. It’s hard, but let’s give it a try. #FlyEaglesFly — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Before anyone screams corruption & wasteful spending, read the story. @TomGravesGA14 & @RepDerekKilmer have a plan to tighten earmark process. It’s all about working with local authorities. Not lobbyists. This will empower rank-file lawmakers & devolve power from leaders. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Graves once got kicked off Approps, too much of a rebel. That's why his work on the "modernizing committee" -- a low-profile, yet critically important panel -- is so important. Now it's up to Pelosi, McCarthy to take up Graves & @RepDerekKilmer's work. https://t.co/Og7mk52iqY — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Sunday @PKCapitol -- The education of @TomGravesGA14: In 2010m he arrived in Congress a tea party rebel, ready to abolish earmarks, etc. 2 weeks ago, he signed off on plan to reinstate earmarks, more $$ for staff. He wants to make Congress work again. https://t.co/Og7mk52iqY — PolitiTweet.org

@awbozzi National press have barely covered N.C. Senate race! It’s a terrible thing how little we have focused on Senate races in general, particularly a potential tipping point race. Instead we’re consumed with WH race. We aren’t overly focused on this scandal. Because we aren’t focused — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@awbozzi Sure, I agree we should back each other up on more lines of Qs. I personally try to ask the last Q at a press conference, seeing how lawmaker handles all the other Qs. But those Qs to Cunningham are important, he needed to face them. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@jim_yaz @JimmyButler It’s really incredible how bad Sixers halfcourt offense was during the 4th Q of Brown’s era in playoffs. You need a player like Butler to win playoff series, which always come down to which teams win 4th quarters in the inevitably close games as part of a 7-game series. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: @NRSC is going back into NC with $3.5m in new ad reservations, following @CalforNC extramarital affair allegations, according to GOP official. NRSC had been off air since 8/30, deferring to SLF super PAC to do anti-Cunningham stuff. Now, NRSC is back in. Story will update. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Cunningham campaign took 12 mins of Qs, and understandably gave those Qs just to the reporters in the state. I'm OK with that, this is their race. And those folks drilled down and asked the right Qs, he ducked again and again, and then the next reporter hit him with same Q. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Kudos to the NC reporters, including @MurphinDC, for asking the right, tough Qs to Cunningham, and backing each other up when he ducks one Q, by following up and telling him he didn't answer the previous Q. — PolitiTweet.org
