Trump’s handlers designated a White House official known as the “Music Man” to play him his favorite show tunes, including “Memory” from “Cats,” to pull him from the brink of rage, Grisham writes in her new memoir. @katierogers has the details. https://t.co/PQbuFMnFyB — PolitiTweet.org

After initially ducking the question, Virginia's Youngkin says he would have voted to certify the 2020 election for Biden, defying Trump, whose supporters he needs in November. ⁦@LVozzella⁩ https://t.co/7c4srWepr2 — PolitiTweet.org

Biden has lost public trust on covid, with 45% in ⁦@axios⁩ ⁦@Ipsos⁩ poll saying they believe he provides accurate information while 53% have little or no trust in him. That's down from 58% who trusted him in Jan. ⁦⁦⁦@margarettalev⁩ https://t.co/qXSFiJId4V — PolitiTweet.org

Five years ago, she called Trump "racist and xenophobic” and joined an effort to block the GOP convention from nominating him in 2016. Now she calls Trump “the greatest president of my lifetime” and is his candidate to take down Liz Cheney. @reidepstein https://t.co/fNko6cCpZp — PolitiTweet.org

In Virginia, McAuliffe holds modest lead over Youngkin per latest @MonmouthPoll, 48% to 43%. Just counting those who voted in 2017 gubernatorial race, his lead widens to 51-43, meaning Youngkin needs to turn out voters who don’t participate in off years. https://t.co/SSFhBRAUBA — PolitiTweet.org

With Merkel's exit after 16 years, analysts see a period of prolonged uncertainty and potential weakness for Europe. No one figure — not Macron or a new German chancellor — will be as influential as Merkel was at her strongest. ⁦@StevenErlanger⁩ https://t.co/wjhZwrMCeu — PolitiTweet.org

That calculation is based in part on the rising value of stocks, which are not currently taxed on an annual basis. Most measures of tax rates do not use this method, but the White House argues it shows the advantages the wealthy have. @jimtankersley https://t.co/R8hPKQKRaI — PolitiTweet.org
