Biden appears to be trying to distance himself from the task force recommendations produced jointly by supporters of him and ⁦@BernieSanders⁩, claiming they were never intended as official policy. That’s news to many progressives on the task forces. https://t.co/n7jOZmF3uG — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Biden has often taken an all-things-to-all-people approach, sometimes making strong public declarations while relying on aides to soothe critics behind the scenes. ⁦@AnnieLinskey⁩‘s goes deep on Biden’s malleability: https://t.co/n7jOZmF3uG — PolitiTweet.org

“They basically said, ‘Listen, this is just an exercise to keep the Warren people happy, and don’t read too much into it,’ ” an investment banker told @AnnieLinskey. The banker said that message was conveyed by the Biden campaign on multiple calls. — PolitiTweet.org

When Biden released economic recommendations, they included several ideas that terrified big banks. But in private calls with Wall Street leaders, Biden officials made clear those proposals would not be central to his agenda and were to placate Bernie ppl. https://t.co/n7jOZmF3uG — PolitiTweet.org

Major League Baseball umpire crew chief Joe West explains ejecting the Nationals GM: “I wouldn’t take that from a player. I wouldn’t take that from a manager. If it was Donald Trump, I’d eject him, too. But I’d still vote for him.” ⚾️ https://t.co/jztySpqjHg — PolitiTweet.org

Biden attends Mass. Trump hits the links. But that doesn’t stop this president from impugning his challenger’s faith. https://t.co/EAPh8WOILa — PolitiTweet.org

Two other employees familiar with New Breed’s financial and payroll systems said Postmaster General Louis DeJoy would instruct that bonus payments to staffers be boosted to help defray the cost of their contributions, an arrangement that would be UNLAWFUL. https://t.co/E23eeFVX0U — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Five people who worked for Louis DeJoy’s former business, New Breed Logistics, say they were urged by aides or by the chief executive himself to write checks and attend fundraisers at his 15,000-square-foot gated mansion beside a N.C. country club. https://t.co/E23eeFVX0U — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Louis DeJoy’s rise as GOP fundraiser was powered by contributions from company workers who were later reimbursed, former employees say. https://t.co/E23eeFVX0U — PolitiTweet.org

This kind of ludicrous behavior by radicals, experienced last night by my colleague, helps illustrate why more and more moderates have been souring on this summer’s protest movement, especially in the electorally-important suburbs of places like Milwaukee and Minneapolis. — PolitiTweet.org

Is cancel culture out of control? The Trump administration has ordered the shutdown of the Stars and Stripes newspaper, despite bipartisan opposition from Capitol Hill, especially among veterans, who understand the value it provides for our troops. https://t.co/4t961KilhC — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The first newspaper called Stars and Stripes was briefly produced in 1861 during the civil war, but the paper began consistent publication during World War I. When the war was over, publication ended, only to restart in 1942 during World War II. https://t.co/4t961KilhC — PolitiTweet.org

Important perspective: these are temporary government jobs. The top-line number makes it less likely that Senate Republicans will act to deliver relief before the election, but the number disguises how many millions of Americans are hurting, out of work or with reduced pay, etc. https://t.co/lOdlIKmhFT — PolitiTweet.org

In two separate interviews with Howard Stern during the 1990s, Donald Trump compared trying to avoid sexually transmitted diseases on the dating scene in NYC to “my personal Vietnam." He echoed the same comment again in a Playboy interview in the 2000s. https://t.co/R4znwMreUS — PolitiTweet.org
