Tillis says he's still planning to file an amendment to formally nix the fund

Says if he can't get an amendment vote (he is fine w/ a 60-vote threshold) he won't vote to proceed

AND also hinted he's a no on the bill if language related to the fund isn't in there

You mean you wanted to claim a disgusting white supremacist? By all means, criticize Platner, but maybe choose your examples better.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kellyanne: They made us disclaim David Duke. I want every single Democrat to step away from Platner.

The servility of Senator Graham here is absolute, disgraceful, and disqualifying. He once thought January 6th was a breaking point with Trump, but now he wants to reward the lawbreakers. A sad man and an unserious public servant.

[Congressman Mike Lawler @RepMikeLawler]

Homosexuality exists. In America.

In fact Andy, you have family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and constituents who are gay and lesbian.

It doesn’t make them less than or somehow unworthy of being an American.

What an absolutely idiotic statement to make.

Wyden and Kennedy introduced a bill to modernize PACER

Brawndo's got what plants crave.

I can't . . . . I just can't . . .

So Talarico's relationships matter, but Paxton's do not?

You can't make this stuff up.

Trump took us to war in Iran without public support, without Congress, without a clear mission, and without a viable plan. He doesn’t know how to exit, so every week he just resorts to bluster and hopes it works out.

I’m waiting for the charges of antisemitism.

“What the fuck are you doing?!” Trump lit into Netanyahu over the Lebanon bombing:

“You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."

Senate Republicans are absolutely screwed right now. Anti-weaponizatiom fund hasn’t been solved. They want admin to fix it. Admin hasn’t sent language. There may be no language that meets republicans muster. Dems lining up massive amendment blitz. This is a very bad jam.

Recent retiree Greg Bovino traveled to Portugal to attend a Nazi conference, gave an interview citing Nazi general Erwin Rommel as an inspirational figure, and wore his regulation SS haircut.

When is it ok to start calling them Nazis? Or is that still too polarizing?

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

We, on both ends of political spectrum, have come to the point that beating the other side and having our side win are THE only important factors. This subordinates individual policies, character, values and governing to winning. This is not sustainable.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

This is the kind of thing someone says when they just learned it themself.

[Ed Whelan @EdWhelanEPPC]

Outrageous abuse of power.

[Dale Murphy @DaleMurphy3]

Bob Horner and I were destined to be teammates somewhere. I signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Arizona State before I was drafted. Bob played at ASU and ended up in Atlanta my first full year in the major leagues—1978. One way or another, it was bound to happen.

From the minute Bob Horner joined the Braves, all us players could see he was good. I mean… really good. And that swing—short and quick, x or and could turn around anybody’s fast ball. And Bob knew the strike zone. He just did not swing at a bad pitch (like I had a tendency to do a little too often…) He was a unique talent and I was very lucky to be in the lineup with him most of my career. All of my numbers were better when he was hitting behind me. And that fact is not lost on me. I know my career was better because of him.

It’s been a hard few weeks for the Braves Family losing Ted and Bobby—and now Bob. These 3 men all had such a profound impact on my career. I am forever grateful.

Nancy and I will miss Bob and our hearts go out to Chris and Trent and Tyler, along with their entire family.

The older we get, the more we cherish wonderful memories and this past month has brought a flood of them back to us. The gratitude we feel for them all has been overwhelming.

Rest well, my friend and teammate.

@MattWelch @vlad3060 Trout would look like a badass in a Braves uni.

And I seriously doubt the vast majority of evangelical Christians—particularly those who are White—are anything but a lock for Paxton or whichever Republican is on their ballot.

[Jason Pye @pye]

The best part of all the tweeting from evangelical Christians about how Christians shouldn’t vote for James Talarico is the failure to understand that not all Christians have the same theological beliefs. Fewer than 40 percent of Christians are evangelicals.

Happy 65 week anniversary to those who celebrate
