Biden faded into the background. No one wanted to criticize Hunter Biden’s foreign buckraking, fearing it would backfire and make them look like they were carrying water for Trump. That left Warren to feel the heat that comes with being considered a front-runner. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden, Buttigieg & Klobuchar attacked Warren on Medicare-for-all. Gabbard questioned her foreign policy chops. Yang said she’s wrong about what’s causing job losses. Harris ripped her for not saying Twitter should suspend Trump's account. https://t.co/lHDOvOz0GW — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) held a fundraiser at Nats Park on Oct. 6 during a game against the Dodgers. It was $1,500 with PAC money and $1,000 for individuals. https://t.co/qLHcpCwiMh — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

One way to see the playoffs: Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has a fundraiser scheduled at Nats Park for Game 5 if the Nats don't win the pennant tonight. $2,500 a ticket. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) has a a suite above third base for tonight's game. Only $2K to get in. (Not in leadership!) — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Christie has said he warned Trump not to hire Michael Flynn as national security adviser, outlining several causes for concern, but to no avail. What other examples am I missing of Trump ignoring savvy advice from loyalists trying to protect him? https://t.co/rlKra1uSQo — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Mattis and Tillerson warned Trump about the destabilizing repercussions that would follow if he pulled out of the Iran deal. Their warnings have all come to fruition. POTUS also ignored warnings from his economic advisers that a trade war w/ China would not be “easy to win." — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Trump also reportedly refused to stop using his personal iPhone in the White House, despite repeated warnings from U.S. intelligence officials that Chinese and Russian spies are routinely listening in on his conversations. https://t.co/8hfOjhNf3n — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

There are many other examples: Trump ignored warnings from his national security advisers last year when he congratulated Putin on his rigged reelection. A section in his briefing materials literally said in all-capital letters “DO NOT CONGRATULATE.” https://t.co/tqTewwGw5S — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Tom Bossert, the former White House homeland security adviser, says he personally told Trump on multiple occasions that the conspiracy theory about Ukraine meddling in the 2016 election was “completely debunked.” Trump still brought it up with Zelensky. https://t.co/CRqbsuRKug — PolitiTweet.org

Kurt Volker, the former special U.S. envoy to Ukraine, testified under oath that he warned Rudy Giuliani against trusting the information he was receiving from Ukrainian political figures about the Bidens. https://t.co/rlKra1uSQo — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

It remains unclear when Eisenberg passed the concerns up his chain of command to the White House counsel. The Post has reported that at least 4 national security officials sounded alarms before Trump’s 7/25 call. It's important to the impeachment inquiry. https://t.co/rlKra1uSQo — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

After John Bolton said he didn’t want to be part of any "drug deal" being cooked up on Ukraine, Fiona Hill met with NSC lawyer John Eisenberg to express her concerns about Rudy Giuliani’s activities and how they were being carried out by Gordon Sondland and Kurt Volker. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

NYT: “Mr. Trump’s error, some aides concede in off-the-record conversations, was entering the Oct. 6 call underprepared, and then failing to spell out for Mr. Erdogan the potential consequences ... He has since threatened both, retroactively." https://t.co/ylHlxi6U0Q — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Some of Trump's problem result from his decision to surround himself with more “yes men” who encourage his base impulses. But Fiona Hill's testimony showed how, even with serious pros around, their warnings still get ignored. It's the culture of this WH: https://t.co/rlKra1uSQo — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Trump's notorious Oct. 6 call with Erdogan, just like his infamous July 25 phoner with Zelensky, would have played out very differently if he just listened to warnings of his advisers at the White House and appointees in the national security apparatus. https://t.co/rlKra1uSQo — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Trump tweeted about his “great and unmatched wisdom” as he defended his controversial conversation with Turkish President Erdogan. It was a window into his certitude and self-confidence that belies a lack of careful study or deep knowledge of the world. https://t.co/rlKra1uSQo — PolitiTweet.org

Vladimir Putin has won so much these past three years that he may get tired of winning. Syria and Ukraine are just the two latest examples. But those two countries were also a big part of why the Kremlin chose to interfere for Trump in the 2016 election. https://t.co/b56IGaZdSu — PolitiTweet.org
