The debt ceiling standoff is shaping up alot like the failed attempt to "repeal and replace" the ACA. Rs never could come up with the "replace." Now spending cuts is the mantra. Everyone likes THAT...until you say what it means. That's why the @GOP hasn't spelled their cuts out! — PolitiTweet.org

The Docudrama in Washington continues! Hot takes on the classified docs firestorm w@murphymike & @BillKristol (and we got together BEFORE @Mike_Pence jumped in the mix. That, and lots of other stuff that will make you laugh...& cry! @HacksonTap is back! https://t.co/XsiFHm3ZgO — PolitiTweet.org

Don't know how this plays out but message clarity and discipline tend to cut through. No one is firing at @PaulVallas yet in the Chicago mayoral primary but he is undoubtedly gaining ground by focusing monomanicaly on the runaway top issue: crime and public safety. — PolitiTweet.org

When, at 22, @TheAmandaGorman was named Inaugural poet, she was thrilled. Then came the insurrection. "I wrote the majority of the poem the night of 1/6. I was like, 'This has to be part of the heartbeat of this poem,'" she says on #AxeFiles. Pod👉https:// https://t.co/kOlzsoZdAT https://t.co/kHQNpskXTU — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond the gun debate per se, what is happening in our society that encourages people to think that the way to deal with petty differences is to use them? It happens on the streets of our cities every day. https://t.co/mwbpZI0qjC — PolitiTweet.org

.⁦@TomColeOK04⁩ is serious, thoughtful lawmaker. But he's going to have his hands full as new Rules chair paying off ⁦@SpeakerMcCarthy⁩'s debts to some of the nihilist right who exacted membership on this key panel as price for their support. https://t.co/QkF2V5hnmp — PolitiTweet.org

As a past Mark Twain award-winner, which of your fellow comics do YOU enjoy, Congressman? I know, I know, folks. Too easy. And kind of sad to watch a disturbed young man embarrass himself on a global stage. Sadder, still, for the people of his district who he brazenly defrauded. — PolitiTweet.org

As one of his first acts since returning to power, a prime minister who is under criminal indictment is-perhaps predictably-setting out to destroy one of the bedrocks of Israeli democracy: her judicial system. What a disgrace! A shanda! https://t.co/pOHmsqew2O — PolitiTweet.org

Amid the aftermath of 1/6, @TheAmandaGorman uplifted our country w/her stirring Inaugural poem on the Capitol steps. On #AxeFiles, she speaks about the link between her poetry & passion for democracy--& why it may lead her to other forms of service.

How about the side effects of COVID?!? My God, more than a million Americans have died from it? Seven million worldwide. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, Inaugural poet @TheAmandaGorman speaks about the organizing power of poetry and song. "A lot of those Negro spirituals are gorgeous. They are immaculate. But if you look at them structurally, they're coded messages about how to escape." Pod👉https://t.co/MxNNKpmAqs https://t.co/sD5C8HLRoX — PolitiTweet.org

Whoever takes on the WHCOS job post-Klain had better be battle-tested. With the @GOP House subpoena factory and a presumed campaign looming, that corner office will have more than usual the feel of a bunker. Not for the faint of heart! — PolitiTweet.org

This is a MADE IN AMERICAN crisis! We have nearly half the privately owned guns in the world and, guess what? Exponentially more gun violence! And each time, we go through the ritual lamentations and get trapped in the same reflexive debates. Until the next one, and the next one. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting to hear '21 Inaugural poet @TheAmandaGorman, a Harvard grad, talk about the pending SCOTUS decision on affirmative action."I pray and hope that there is a decision that respects the importance of diversity in our institutions."

There's a half life in these jobs, but one thing is for sure: @WHCOS⁩ Ron Klain is a tough, savvy & experienced hand who has the president's confidence & has steered the Biden administration through big challenges in 2 productive years. He'll be missed. https://t.co/vmqOpUysAr — PolitiTweet.org

Can't wait to welcome @SecBlinken, a former Pritzker IOP Fellow, back to @UChiPolitics TOMORROW to help us mark our first 10 years! And a terrific day chat with him on what also will be the 2d anniversary of the Biden Adminstration. (#AxeFiles to follow!) — PolitiTweet.org

No one who watched the brilliant t young poet, @TheAmandaGorman, deliver her powerful reading at @POTUS's inauguration would have guessed that she's battled a lifelong speech impediment.

If they're willing to risk tipping the country into default to get what they want, shouldn't House Republicans SAY what they want and release a detailed list of the spending cuts they are demanding? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What a joy to spend an hour with the inspiring young Inaugural poet/activist @TheAmandaGorman, 2 yrs after she lifted us from the steps of a violence-torn Capitol. Clips to follow but I urge you to listen to this episode of the #AxeFiles. She is special! https://t.co/MxNNKpmAqs — PolitiTweet.org

Of all the blatant lies and twisted schemes, cheating a vet out of money to help save his beloved dog may be the one that finally sinks Santos. I mean, how creepy is THAT??* *Asked for a four-legged friend! https://t.co/lHHUp9LbDi — PolitiTweet.org

This week is the 2d anniversary of the inauguration at which the remarkable ⁦@TheAmandaGorman⁩, 22, electrified w/the poem below. I sat down w/her this week to talk about that day & her extraordinary life. New #AxeFiles TOMORROW! Hope you'll listen! https://t.co/LKV5xaDplm — PolitiTweet.org

Folks who are threatening default as a political strategy should sober up. It would be a catastrophe, not just on Wall Street but Main Street and for every American. And those who light the fuse will pay the price! https://t.co/raw6dVXhcB — PolitiTweet.org
