I have known John Leganski for a long time. He was a trusted adviser to me across multiple leadership offices in the House and had a front-row seat to some of the most consequential moments in recent congressional history.

I just finished his new book, Glory, Grief, and the Gavel, and can’t recommend it enough. It’s truly an inside look you won’t find anywhere else.

Can phase IV please refill the strategic oil reserve?

[Ted McCann @TedMcCann2]

@rachelbovard @davidharsanyi Not very well. I’m a house guy! Every time I thought I understood there’s something new.

@kpomerleau @ArmandDoma In what world are democrats free traders?!

[Ted McCann @TedMcCann2]

@rSanti97 This is why chapter 9 exists. Alternatively could set up something similar to what we did with Puerto Rico, but that would be more difficult I think if it’s not a territory.

@PTBwrites I think is for all the new sin industries- gambling etc. I wonder how much of the push for this is dropping fertility/later parenthood. People don’t understand repercussions as well until they actually have kids.

@mattwilcoxen @The_ACNA I was shocked when I learned that you could ordain women in ACNA dioceses.

@Micaheadowcroft I feel like 18 months to 3 years is such a great time period. The transition from baby/toddler to little person is just so much fun to see.

[Ted McCann @TedMcCann2]

@conorsen @LPDonovan Daring republicans to get rid of the filibuster when you believe you have a structural electoral disadvantage in taking the senate is a strategy I guess.

[Ted McCann @TedMcCann2]

Can someone explain to me why Democrats are daring Republicans to go nuclear right at the Supreme Court may also make it harder for them to retake the House? https://t.co/VEmUUYH3Fq

@binarybits @lymanstoneky Trips don’t require plane tickets.

[Ted McCann @TedMcCann2]

@LPDonovan But if they gave it up preemptively much can’t ask for something when a final deal comes together. Which is why this current shutdown is so dumb.

[Ted McCann @TedMcCann2]

@LPDonovan Yes. Once House Rs passed the CR without needing Dem votes this all became academic. Dem's will either cave now or take the pain and cave later.

[Ted McCann @TedMcCann2]

@metzgov Huh. Makes his taking a low salary when he was AOC's chief look like he was deliberately trying to avoid disclosing his finances.

[Ted McCann @TedMcCann2]

@TomRodriguezDC @SeanTrende Self-interestedly I think that’s a good one. More broadly I would do something on Yglesias’s concept of a ‘secret congress.’ There are a ton of pieces of legislation that are very substantive but that don’t have political salience so you end up being able to make real reforms

[Ted McCann @TedMcCann2]

@ljsIV @VolbeckWasRight Is it? Honestly that doesn’t look that difficult.
