@RadioFreeTom I am not sure that I could successfully parallel park in a very tight space with help from bystanders on the sidewalk. But I am probably the exception. — PolitiTweet.org

I know it's early, but this may be my favorite poll question of the year. A followup: What percentage of male Americans believe they could successfully perform open-heart surgery aided by a YouTube tutorial? — PolitiTweet.org

Trying to decide if this is the moment to declare my candidacy for House Speaker or whether it makes more political sense to wait until tomorrow after McCarthy fails on the first ballot. But, in any case, let the word go forth: Walter Shapiro is available. — PolitiTweet.org

I just looked at the George Santos nameplate and could only ask, What part of this is a lie? https://t.co/GIhwuG4xeL

Very nice @markzbarabak column on the retiring Jackie Speier, the congresswoman who survived Jonestown and was there on the floor on January 6. https://t.co/VcjInPhS1f — PolitiTweet.org

Depressing assessment by an algorithm: Open Table announced that they have found the perfect spot that "seems like your style." It's Smith and Wollensky -- an over-priced steak house with a dozen branches across the country. No, Open Table, chain steak houses are not my style. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesWetzler9 I have read about ten Trollope novels. But, as much as I loved the Palliser novels, I will take "David Copperfield" over all of them. — PolitiTweet.org

@alex_shephard Having read them both I am with you. Only Mrs. Jellyby, whose children are unclothed while she does Good Works, is as memorable a character as many in “David Copperfield.” — PolitiTweet.org

@alex_shephard I had somehow never read it before last winter. I can recall with horror Davey’s flight from London and revel in Mr. Micawber as someone who is clearly my financial role model. — PolitiTweet.org

@dceiver For the first time, “Merrily” makes emotional sense and the backwards time scheme finally works. I will eagerly see it again when it arrives on Broadway. — PolitiTweet.org

From the rejection of Trumpism and election denial on November 8 to the amazing resistance of the Ukrainian army and people to the Russian invasion, 2022 was on the whole not a bad year. May 2023 be even better. — PolitiTweet.org

The thing about Stefanik that shines through in this piece is that she isn’t good at politics. If she were decent at it, she would have pulled off the Trumpian makeover without being so obvious about it. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZacMcCrary Personally, I think the youthful pollsters would have done better to enhance their college applications by setting up an exchange for Crypto. — PolitiTweet.org

@lylden @LindaHirshman1 I am a deep, deep believer in choosing to continue life as long as humanly possible. My objection is to using the language and the imagery of war to describe dealing with disease or infirmity. — PolitiTweet.org
