@CQRollCallGuild @newsguild This quickens my blood, brings a tear to my eye, and raises my fist in solidarity!

[CQ Roll Call Guild @CQRollCallGuild]

We’re proud to announce the CQ Roll Call Guild, part of @newsguild. Congressional Quarterly has covered Congress since 1945 and Roll Call has been a trusted source of Capitol Hill news since the Eisenhower administration.

@bresreports @joshgerstein I’m w. Bres. Wtf. Scoop of the decade.

@JDSalant @PittsburghPG @RegionalReports What a great hire by the Post-Gazette! Mazel tov, Jonathan. And if you ever need a Philadelphia stringer, that's where I live now....

As the #lameduck begins, reprising my old "wills and won't" construct from CQ days. My take: The next month will be pretty productive: https://t.co/MzzfjWnM2Y #FoxNews

When you go to bed thinking your 6 AM radio hit will be about counting PA mail ballots, but instead it's about the (many) tattoos and (2?) neckties of #JohnFetterman -- "the most fascinating" senator-elect in the eyes of

The great @juliemason got us started w/ a great question: why aren't @JohnFetterman and @joshshapiro campaigning together? https://t.co/qnpzFy3S2a via @SiriusXM

Horse blinders and Diet Dr. Pepper: Recapping Tues riveting J6 hearing w/ @juliemason w. 1 big note: Could they find no DIRECT link / communication between Team Trump and nationalist right groups? https://t.co/Rl3kkm70cy via @SiriusXM

[David Hawkings @davidhawkings]

So what's next for the #J6Hearings after today? Pondering what #mobrooks might say and what the #holder doc might reveal on @MasonMornings this AM. The best way to start your day is channel 124 via @SiriusXM.https://t.co/GhlrE5YSds

In WVa primary Tues pitting House member who voted to overturn the '20 election v. one who called it legit, the anti-democracy congressman won. Scary. Check out this comprehensive view of autocracy's deepening threat to elections: https://t.co/i4EK5sMK6I

The never-ending term limits debate is back, thanks to a norm-busting idea from #HouseGOP leaders and some norm-busting shoving of @SenFeinstein. My latest on @MasonMornings:

Too much coffee perhaps before my 6:10 hit w/ @MasonMornings today, but how the Senate GOP handled this #SCOTUSConfirmation pushed buttons I've spent my career working not to get pushed.

[David Hawkings @davidhawkings]

@kasie Has he decided he also wouldn’t take the congressional oath “to protect against all enemies, foreign and domestic”?

[David Hawkings @davidhawkings]

We covered a lot in 9 /1/2 minutes on @masonmorninmgs this AM, from the "virtues" of partisan retreats to the possibility (meh) that the coming @scotus confirmation will be respectful:

Don't think I've missed a #SOTU in 35 years, though not sure I can recall more than a few memorable moments - or presidential "resets." And what about last night? Me on @MasonMornings today:

[David Hawkings @davidhawkings]

Most times, a hit on @MasonMornings is a chance to match wits w/ the great @juliemason. Today was more of a glum downer, but such are the times: Ukraine, feckless Congress, SOTU, trucker protest:

"Fighting over the debt limit" is one of Washington's most ridiculous Kabuki plays, because it's all about paying the bills. My latest for @TheAmericnLeadr explains three ways the show might close in the coming year.
