.Paul Kane takes a look at the legacy of Bill Pascrell and the group of urban Democrats nicknamed “The Corner” who served as foot soldiers for Nancy Pelosi: washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

Old pols, mainly from the urban Northeast, sit at the far left corner of the House chamber. Pascrell, a former mayor of Paterson, N.J., had the very corner seat and was the unofficial mayor of The Corner. ⁦Paul Kane⁩ knows the territory well. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

The incomparable Paul Kane takes on Bill’s legacy and the closing of an era.

Whether Trump or Harris wins in November, the next president could immediately face gridlock with an opposing party holding control of the House or Senate, writes Paul Kane washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

Re-upping PSA: Fellow reporters the House is not returning from "August recess". Their last vote was held at 10:59 am, July 25, a full 47 days ago. Both sides guilty. In '22, Dems took 46-ish-day "August recess."

Interesting question: did Menendez ever sign his desk? Every senator is supposed to sign before they leave. Some forget or don’t bother - Al Gore never signed Desk 88, the desk Brown occupies & wrote about in his book.

House’s first night back since Bill Pascrell, Jr. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 died at home in Paterson. They’ve placed a black drape & bouquet of white roses in the “corner”, where Silky was the unofficial mayor. I can’t take/share the picture in the House. I wrote this on 8/24: washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

“Trump was on defense. Harris stuck to her points, was coherent and frankly, more professional than I have ever seen her. Trump missed too many opportunities.” That's Jason, a 40-something, Trump-leaning white guy from Wisconsin. Click more here: washingtonpost.com/elections/inte…

Faced with a debate debacle of their own, Congressional Rs whistled past the graveyard & avoided blaming Trump. Quite a contrast to Dems circa June 28. The “missed opportunity” was the soft, passive critique of the day. Click for my column. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

You just gotta keep livin’, man. L-I-V-I-N.
