As Trump makes baseless claims about mail-in voting and Biden warns of Russian interference, experts worry that the public may doubt the legitimacy of the November election. ⁦@katieglueck⁩ https://t.co/s9UXjYmzVJ — PolitiTweet.org

"By nearly any measure, Congress is a toxic mess seemingly incapable of rising to the occasion even at a time of existential threats," writes ⁦@hillhulse⁩. "No one knows that better than those who, until recently, served there." https://t.co/5dQli1jM7q — PolitiTweet.org

As he seeks to ratchet up the confrontation with China, Pompeo argues that Nixon's diplomatic opening to Beijing a half century ago ultimately undermined US interests and created a "Frankenstein." ⁦@ewong⁩ ⁦@stevenleemyers⁩ https://t.co/aNhIdEFDna — PolitiTweet.org

"For Trump this has been a week of retreats," says ⁦@PhilipRucker⁩. "Rather than bending others to his will the president has been the one backing down from long-held positions in the face of resistance from fellow Republicans or popular opposition." https://t.co/S6GnSZPcHz — PolitiTweet.org

Like so much else in Trump’s life, the decision to scrap the Republican convention in Jacksonville was shaped by financial considerations and, in the end, the hotel business. @anniekarni @alexburnsNYT @PatriciaMazzei https://t.co/RIzGHGkVtW — PolitiTweet.org

The president’s springtime confidence that he could cheerlead the country back to a semblance of normalcy in time to kick-start the moribund economy and power himself to a second term has proved unequal to the grim summertime medical and autopsy reports. https://t.co/bl97MAmKIg — PolitiTweet.org

It may not be the death of denial, but it is a moment when denial no longer appears to be a viable strategy for Trump. After six months the coronavirus is turning out to be the one stubborn, inalterable fact of life that he simply force into submission. https://t.co/bl97MAmKIg — PolitiTweet.org

The convention efforts in both Jacksonville and Charlotte now stand as an object lesson in chaotic planning for a party that prizes its ability to raise money and execute splashy displays. @maggieNYT @PatriciaMazzei @anniekarni https://t.co/3aKaQuZxUV — PolitiTweet.org

More than 1.4 million workers filed new claims for state unemployment benefits last week, the first time that the weekly tally has risen in more than three months. The upturn comes just days before an extra $600-a-week jobless benefit is to expire. https://t.co/CzFJ3CdSuj — PolitiTweet.org
