What a powerful eulogy for @RepCummings from @BarackObama, celebrating a man, a leader, who reflected the best of politics and the human spirit. But these memorials make the coarseness of this moment in our history even more conspicuous and painful. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And for all the criticism @joebiden will take-and he already is-reversing himself on Super Pacs is a smart and necessary decision. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I sat down w/fmr DefSec Bill Cohen and John Dean at #CitizenCNN yesterday. Cohen recalled that when he sat on R on House Judiciary during Nixon Impeachment, much of the testimony was taken behind closed doors. Dean said he testified in private before he ever testified publicly. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @KellyGC411: No blog post today. Words are swirling in my head but I don’t have the energy to organize them coherently. So, I leave you… — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Even amid the crisis and chaos, it’s remarkable that he still finds time for this! No grudge too small for the Commander-in-Chief. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Given his anemic cash-on-hand and laggard online fundraising, the SuperPac route seems inevitable for @JoeBiden. He needs it to survive in the race. https://t.co/9zGUzHiV6Z — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Wouldn’t you love to see the @LindseyGrahamSC of 1998, who helped push the Clinton impeachment, debate the Lindsey Graham of 2019, who is feverishly trying to insulate this @POTUS from accountability? It would be a hell of a scrap between two Lindseys of starkly different views! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Another Russian conspiracy theory? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But the story does speak to the dark impulses this @POTUS is whipping up as evidence mounts against him. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I bet fewer managers are going to argue calls with THIS umpire next season. Seems dangerous! https://t.co/vhKEeYJcoS — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be sitting down at #CITIZENCNN at 11:30 AM w/former Watergate conspirator & star witness John Dean & fmr Defense Secy. William Cohen, a Republican who voted to impeach Nixon. You can catch the livestream of this and a day of interesting programming at https://t.co/TTuIzCXkGt https://t.co/zdrdNj5VfC — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I want to meet the soothsayer who, at the beginning of the year-or the beginning of this week, for that matter-predicted that the @Nationals would be up two games on the mighty @Astros in the World Series after taking a pair on the road! Not over yet, but a hell of a story... — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is a vulgar warning shot to any Republican who dares to even CONSIDER the mounting evidence and vote to impeach or remove the @POTUS. He’s betting fear will hold them in line. He thinks it gives him license to get away with ANYTHING. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The fact is that House Republicans on the relevant committees have the same rights as Democrats to attend and participate. It’s the troubling testimony they’re hearing that is driving then to Plan B theatrics. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Expect more antics like today’s flamboyant demonstration by the House @GOP to break up an impeachment deposition. It’s a clear and deliberate strategy to shift the focus because what @realDonaldTrump did re Ukraine is utterly impossible to defend. https://t.co/dXD6DqfiMB — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is one poll and we should see if reflects a trend. But could it be that the @realDonaldTrump campaign to smear @JoeBiden has had the OPPOSITE effect of causing a rallying around him among some key Dem voting blocs? https://t.co/xdXrmp9H5Q — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Earlier, I mistakenly ascribed to @CoryBooker a position he he does not hold. He OPPOSES for-profit charter schools. As mayor of Newark, he was a champion of NOT-for-profit charters as part of the city’s educational reform. Here he is speaking about it on tonight’s @HacksOnTap. https://t.co/disr51BB6Y — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is not the story of corruption in Ukraine. It’s the story of corruption at the highest levels of the U.S. government. It’s the story of extortion, with U.S. military aid to a besieged ally held hostage to the president’s personal political project. https://t.co/3IZsmaPD0o — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On @HacksOnTap, we kick around whether Rs truly are getting squishy on @realDonaldTrump; @ewarren MFA.2 on the way; @PeteButtigieg growing pains; and a conversation with @CoryBooker! https://t.co/n3d6MGIB6y https://t.co/G3ZbxnHwJk — PolitiTweet.org

Here is a clip of my exchange with Admiral Mullen on @realDonaldtrump bromance w/Kim Jung Un and the state of play with North Korea: “It’s as dangerous as it’s ever been.” https://t.co/H4UrbSeWpZ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Here’s an excerpt from #AxeFiles w/Adm. Mullen on Trump’s pullout of US troops and our frayed alliances; Mullen’s historic role in repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell & his unlikely upbringing in Hollywood. https://t.co/YRGUaaKIG8 Full pod on @hearluminary: https://t.co/dquWebeMjB https://t.co/XCjK0u9qaZ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Sat down today for #AxeFiles w/ret Admiral Mike Mullen, fmr chair of Joint Chiefs of Staff. I asked whether @POTUS is in danger of being played by Kim Jung Un. “I don’t think he’s in DANGER of being played,” Mullen said. “I think he’s BEING played. That’s my view.” Pod in A.M. https://t.co/srU8r5L7va — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This worked for @CoryBooker in advance of the last fundraising quarter. Now @JulianCastro is sending an alarm, putting the onus on donors to qualify him for the next debate and keep him in the race. (He needs to pull up his poll numbers, too!) — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I wish there were bubble boxes over the head of every Cabinet member while @realDonaldTrump went on and on in the strangest ways. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Must have been very painful for @SpeakerPelosi to absorb news of her brother, Tom’s passing while leading a delegation in Afghanistan. Sympathies to her, the D’Alesandro family and the people of Baltimore, the city he faithfully served. RIP. https://t.co/uzomh9Y5Z7 — PolitiTweet.org
