As a father of two very young boys this makes me think two things 1. I want to be a dad like that to my kids 2. I’m really sad that I can’t right now because of COVID Not sure what the RNC thinks it has here. — PolitiTweet.org

In theory, shouldn’t there be more pressure on governors of hard hit states to simply go on a 14-day lockdown? I’m really surprised that this is basically treated as a non option right now even as it would give us, perhaps, a really shot at re-opening schools safely. — PolitiTweet.org

Trumps campaign appears to believe he has won the election by putting on a mask, which raises the question of why they resisted this tactically brilliant political move until after 133k deaths https://t.co/FHStWnVDLS — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a song I’ve been listening to that makes me feel pretty good in these shit times. I’d welcome any recs for similar ones! https://t.co/VR2rvscdhH — PolitiTweet.org

The question was, to what degree was political motivation involved in them going after TP groups. It appeared there was SOME motivation. But here we have a president laying it all out that he wants to target institutions via the IRS on strictly ideological grounds — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

The real IRS story was more complicated. The agency struggled to figure out what to do with an influx of Tea Party groups that definitely appeared political. They bungled the process but the initial reporting that they ONLY targeted TP groups ended up being wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

And, of course, it takes a couple seconds to see that Trump railed against this at the time. https://t.co/SqQS0lftf6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

No one expects follow through. But I’m definitely old enough to remember reporting on the Obama-era IRS scandal in which they were questioning the tax status of Tea Party groups. It led to impeachment proceedings. Here we have a president just asking for something similar — PolitiTweet.org

NEW — Top Trump backer, Dallas megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress, tells us he’s not fully reopening his own church school, sticking with "a hybrid model of in-person and virtual instruction.” https://t.co/ZlpOP6BNpc — PolitiTweet.org

More important than it being my birthday, it’s my three year anniversary w/ @thedailybeast. Grateful to @NoahShachtman @JohnAvlon and @JFKucinich for taking a chance on me. As a present to me, become a Daily Beast member! https://t.co/KMuZogyXuC — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

The piece is about Trump campaign commissioning private polling that has led them to believe the push to reopen schools is a political plus. But, really, it’s just a vehicle for the illo from @sarahnrogers https://t.co/ZlpOP6BNpc https://t.co/g6Td7353yC — PolitiTweet.org

A valid and frightening point @ErinBanco just mentioned to me: the state of our office fridges when we all return back from our remote work could be, potentially, worse than COVID itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Who knows if Trump’s being serious or not. But Jesus. This is so bizarre. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

As I understand it, when he said he takes a cognitive test every day, Biden was saying he proves his mental acuity by how he acts in public. This seemed obvious. And yet, the Trump camp seems to have taken it literally, leading Trump to tell Hannity he took a cognitive test too — PolitiTweet.org
