Cleta Mitchell @CletaMitchell - To those Senators clinging to the Senate rules and clutching their pearls at the very idea that the Byrd “rule” should never be examined, or the “interpretation” of the filibuster rules by some long since departed parliamentarian, I refer them to the wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1841: “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.” @BasedMikeLee @SenEricSchmitt @SenRonJohnson @SenTedBuddNC @EIwatchdogs

Collin Rugg @CollinRugg - Video: NEW: Cardinal Pizzaballa on Palm Sunday after he was blocked from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre:
"This Palm Sunday afternoon, we gather without a procession, without palms, waving through the streets."
"This absence is not merely a matter of form or weather. It's the war that has interrupted our festive journey, making even the simple joy of following our King difficult..."
"We are certain that the Crucified and the Risen One does not cease to walk among us even when the road is blocked."
"He dwells in the heart of those who have not stopped following him yet, precisely in this imposed silence, the liturgy becomes more authentic."
"The cry of Hosanna does not need branches to rise to heaven, and faith does not falter when outward rites are stripped away..."

Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner - I’m fully aware that this job requires tons of travel and crazy hours, but it does indeed bug me that I’m here in DC at 11:30pm voting (for the 4th time!) to fully fund the Homeland budget and missing my kids hoops game tomorrow morning back in Washington because the Senate pulled their BS stunt last night. 🇺🇸

Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - 213-203: On partial DHS shutdown Day 42, House approves funding Homeland Security Department including ICE until May 22 instead of the unanimously Senate-passed bill. 3 Democrats joined all Republicans and Kiley (I-CA) in voting Yes. Bill now heads back to the Senate, not scheduled to return for votes until after their 2-week break over the Easter/Passover holidays on April 13. Shutdown will continue and will become the longest in U.S. history on Sunday, passing the current record of 43 days.

Craig Carton @craigcartonlive - Crazy story at yesterdays @Mets game - Guy in section 121 had a heart attack and his wife started frantically yelling for help or a doctor or nurse to come over - One random guy in the section who said he was neither started doing chest compressions and saved the mans life. Eventually paramedics showed up to take over and assist the fallen man. The hero went back to his seat, sat down and watched the rest of the game with zero fanfare or attention. He just wanted to watch the Mets win. When the game ended he walked out like nothing had happened. Don't know his name but he saved a mans life and is a hero.
