Not Mardi Gras yet. But these just arrived at the Capitol

[Ryan Rugani @rugani_ryan]

Absolutely. The common thread among all these candidates is that none could—or would—be confined by identity politics.

[. @GregTSargent]

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

@igorbobic Virtually said the same thing to Major Garrett in late November 2024! "I've always been deferential to any executive or president, especially... I said, I will vote to get on this... I'm not gonna be for everything in this thing."

"[President Trump] doesn't want to see people like Nancy Pelosi enriching themselves off of public service and ripping off their constituents in the process."

Karoline Leavitt says President Trump supports the idea of banning stock trading for members of Congress after reports showed Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio outperformed every large hedge fund in 2024.

Good riddance to an ugly record set by an avowed segregationist who never changed his views. Forget politics, Booker simply made the Senate a better place today by scrubbing Strom Thurmond's name from a place of prominence.

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@SenBooker spoke to reporters following his 25+ hour floor speech: "I was very aware of Strom Thurmond's record...It always seemed wrong to me...I just didn't know if I could..."

Or hear me out as a former Cuomo person: maybe we shouldn’t go from a scandal-scarred mayor who may have to resign in disgrace to a scandal-scarred governor who did have to resign in disgrace.

What in NY’s DNA tells us we need to just settle for extremely flawed options?

McCarthy ousted as Speaker of the House

[Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer]

On the 33rd anniversary of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act let us embrace the spirit of the ADA.

We must continue promoting equality of opportunity for all so that millions of Americans can participate in public life with the dignity & respect they deserve. #ADA33

[Ryan Rugani @rugani_ryan]

McCarthy slowly working towards being the funniest speaker since Boehner lol

[Caleb Smith @CalebJSmith]

This is my favorite exchange from today's pop-up photo line:

Visitor: "Hi, I got to be you in the simulation we did. I was the Speaker of the House."

@SpeakerMcCarthy: "Awesome!"

[takes a beat for photo]

"It didn't take you 15 rounds to win though did it?"

No matter what political differences may ever exist, Chuck Grassley always hits the nail on the head when it comes to the History Channel

Right now u can watch Ancient Aliens on the NONHISTORYCHANNEL

Pretty surreal sight in New York City caused by wildfires in Canada #dig

Overturning Chevron would have the most dramatic policy implications of any SCOTUS case. Are all administrative rules nuked immediately? Does Congress get a waiting period? Congress being forced to reintegrate a government Goliath a century after they created it wasn’t the plan.

[Marci Harris @marcidale]

been saying for years — anyone in favor of overruling Chevron better also be talking about increasing congressional capacity.

That means lots of $$$ in expert staff, technology, data scientists (& even a new CBO-like agency that does complex policy modeling & oversight).

[Ryan Rugani @rugani_ryan]

@succession Thanks to Brian Cox for four years of defining and playing one of the most incredible television characters I’ve ever seen. It was acting at its finest and it never disappointed.

[Ryan Rugani @rugani_ryan]

When you have to do this and - of all people - Avigdor Lieberman is saying you’re overreaching, you’ve really crossed the rubicon in a major way.

Time for the Elgin Marbles to go home

[Richard M. Nixon @dick_nixon]

It’s being framed as a religious act and not a diplomatic one, but it’s absolutely a message to the British and they’re not trying hard to hide it. https://t.co/qRjcBIfrwa

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

Who knew Joe Biden could turn the U.S. Congress into something as rowdy as the British parliament.
