The @SecPompeo revelation, after his dodgy evasion; the murky roles of AG Barr, @RudyGiuliani; an apparent WH coverup; the bitter denials, cries of partisanship and and attacks on the media. @carlbernstein, I’m wondering: Are you having All the President’s Men flashbacks? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@JohnAnzo I agree, @JohnAnzo. @CubsJoeMadd is one-of-a-kind. A Hall of Fame manager AND a great person. The split was probably necessary but he will be missed. And some team is going to get a unique and skillful leader. — PolitiTweet.org

The other big $$ number dropped today was from the @PeteButtigieg campaign. Another $19 million in the third quarter, $51 million to date in campaign. He has the resources. Can he make a move? — PolitiTweet.org

People generally leave presidential races when their money dries up. @BernieSanders is going to be in this for the long haul. https://t.co/I3XDnj2vWg — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks, @biannagolodryga! (Though I think you meant WIDE-ranging.😊) To hear my #AxeFiles w/Admiral McRaven, here is the link: https://t.co/CAwchQxHWI — PolitiTweet.org

And if “perfect” means good, wholesome, proper and legal, why did someone high up in the WH depart from standard procedure and seal the notes from the call on top secret server meant for highly classified material and accessible only to a handful of people? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What does @realDonaldTrump mean when he describes as “perfect” his call w/Zelensky, on which he asked the Ukrainian-in the midst of a discussion on military aid-the “favor” of probing Biden? A perfect shakedown? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The Ukraine story is sprouting new elements almost by the hour, and an embattled @POTUS, trapped by his own words, is increasingly spouting menacing, authoritarian threats. This is going to a very bad place, I fear. — PolitiTweet.org

When I walked into Tribune Tower as a kid reporter 43 years ago, the newsroom was brimming with energy & mission; kick ass editors & brillliant, relentless reporters. Now’s it’s being renovated for luxury condos. It’s a heartbreaking symbol of what is happening to local news. https://t.co/3pDdnTpgRE — PolitiTweet.org

If you’ve never listened to @HacksOnTap before, you definitely should catch this episode! Recorded LIVE in Austin at the #TexasTribuneFestival, @murphymike and I dive deep into politics of impeachment w/@KarlRove and a rousing audience! Take a listen!👇 https://t.co/N1FgInALtj — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It is striking that even the president’s strongest defenders—other than his paid propagandists- have not, CANNOT, defend the call @realDonaldTrump describes as “perfect.” They know it was wrong. They are left to argue that is wasn’t impeachable. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Arresting public officials for TREASON? Apparently, @realDonaldTrump is looking to Putin for modeling on how to handle a scandal of Trump’s own making. — PolitiTweet.org

No one is going to miss @CubsJoeMadd more than the reporters who cover the @Cubs. Open, honest and endlessly entertaining, he is worthy of study by anyone in public life for the ease with which he deals with media-even on the day he parted ways with the team. He’s the anti-Trump! — PolitiTweet.org

@EWErickson .@EWErickson, ensuring that @JoeBiden ISN’T the nominee was what motivated @realDonaldTrump and @RudyGiuliani in the first place, wasn’t it? — PolitiTweet.org

“I DO think he should be in trouble!” On The #AxeFiles, up Monday, legendary retired Admiral Bill McRaven speaks out about @realDonaldTrump contacts w/Ukrainian president. Here’s a clip:👇 Listen to the whole podcast when it comes up tomorrow! https://t.co/P7f5EL7fxU — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It’s official. @CubsJoeMadd won’t be managing the @Cubs next year. But he’ll, for sure, be managing SOMEWHERE because of the remarkable record you can see below. Thanks, Joe! You’re one of a kind and we loved the show!! https://t.co/xlGlUjMVEt — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As @CubsJoeMadd prepares to take his leave, I’m grateful as a fan for everything he has brought to our city and for the opportunity to have gotten to know him. He’s a truly unique and admirable person! https://t.co/OLZVRDNXSB — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Super interesting line from @JoeBiden at a fundraiser last night: “He’s trying to pick who the candidate is, but I’m going to beat him like a drum.” Translation: @realDonaldTrump is angling to see to it that @ewarren or some other D is nominated. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Had fun with @murphymike and @KarlRove in Austin, as @HacksonTap hit the road for the #TexasTribuneFestival. The politics of IMPEACHMENT may have come up! Up Monday! https://t.co/ixokMkew1H — PolitiTweet.org

@petersagal Or was it Ryne Sandberg? Now I’m confused! But the point is good. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @petersagal: @davidaxelrod Wait — Carl Sandburg came up with that? — PolitiTweet.org
