When she was 3, @kellyannepolls's dad left her mom for another woman and child. KAC didn't see him again until she was 12--though he lived just two towns away. On #AxeFiles she spoke about this, and the impact it had in shaping her. Pod👉https://t.co/JaNGEU9C3j https://t.co/Ox8nHpc7MK — PolitiTweet.org

.@RonDeSantisFL has done a hell of a job establishing himself as THE culture war Bully Boy, becoming the top Trump @GOP alternative for '24. But first he has to win relection in '22. He's raised $100 million. The political climate is favorable. He should roll. But WILL he?🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

As the son of a refugee who fled tyranny, I'm a proud and grateful American. But to love our country is not to deny its challenges or imperfections. It's to address them, openly and honestly. The ongoing work of perfecting our union is what patriotism demands. https://t.co/SILrdVDMIw — PolitiTweet.org

Can you imagine how much fun @GavinNewsom's team had plotting out this one, knowing that it would get politicos talkig from coast-to-coast about what it means?!? — PolitiTweet.org

Even as he lost nationally by seven million votes, Trump won more than 80 percent of the nation's counties, mostly in small town and rural America. The lack of D competiveness in those areas has given extra leverage to minority-held views. via @NYTimes https://t.co/j8xSdDvRzK — PolitiTweet.org

One thing @KellyannePolls made abundantly clear in our #AxeFiles conversation: There's one person she blames above all others for Trump's defeat--and it's not Trump! (Hint: This guy's super tight w/the Saudis and has kids who are RELATED to Trump.) Pod👉https://t.co/JaNGEU9C3j https://t.co/cNb50cT6RN — PolitiTweet.org

This is insane. Soviet stuff. Ban history instead of learning from it? And this, as we celebrate Independence Day? “Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.” -Thomas Jefferson — PolitiTweet.org

For some reason, this sign a local Farmer's Market made me think of Trump! https://t.co/h2xqXZ9TDW — PolitiTweet.org

One thing this should make abundantly clear for those who haven't been playing right along: legislative races matter, now more than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If you're one who loves gerrymandering, you'll probably cheer when the SCOTUS next year hands partisan state legislatures unbridled authority over elections, with no review by governors or state courts. If you love democracy, you should be deeply alarmed. https://t.co/nbh8xEy16j — PolitiTweet.org

On #AxeFiles, @KellyannePolls says Trump & campaign in '20 made a decisive mistake, in the midst of COVID, by demonizing mail-in ballots instead of organIzing @GOP voters to use them. Pod👉https://t.co/JaNGEU9C3j https://t.co/RmZWEozxpM — PolitiTweet.org

This story about Texas's dismal record recalls fmr Rep. Barney Frank's memorable rebuke of colleagues who opposed funding for post-natal care. "The problem with you guys is that you believe that life begins at conception and ends at birth." via @NYTimes https://t.co/WiGEFx2WgD — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

A caution for Dems who game @GOP primaries to nominate right wingers seen as beatable. Proceed w/caution! After all, how many Democrats cheered Donald Trump's nomination in '16, convinced that the reality show star would be a dead bang loser in the fall? https://t.co/lkeJ1G7GQw — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Interesting observations from @KellyannePolls about @RonDeSantisFL, currently the IT guy in the @GOP. "One big test for Governor DeSantis is, does he like to mix it up with the people as much as he likes to be in his press conferences?" #AxeFiles pod👉https://t.co/JaNGEU9C3j https://t.co/oJ33A8gToR — PolitiTweet.org

To state the obvious, it's dangerous to a democracy when the nation's highest court acts as a cudgel for a political agenda that blatantly and serially thwarts majority views. — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder if Justice Jackson had a good news/bad news feeling on her historic day? Like you just got a long-coveted reservation at a fine restaurant, only to discover the great chef left and the food suddenly is indigestible. https://t.co/RWTsyiW8CI — PolitiTweet.org

“Whatever else this court may know about, it does not have a clue about how to address climate change,” Kagan wrote. “The court appoints itself — instead of Congress or the expert agency — the decision maker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sat down with @KellyannePolls last week before an audience in Chicago. She says her old boss still genuinely BELIEVES he won the last election. She made clear that she does not.

Too much going on for rhe @HacksOnTap to take off for the Fourth without a few more brews. 1/6 and primary fallout. SCOTUS's hand grenade in the middle of American politics. Pull up a (virtual) stool! https://t.co/vEQg9zNxGY — PolitiTweet.org

If, however, if @POTUS makes the fight to codify privacy rights a priority and CAN persuade 50 to do what they haven't been willing to do before and set aside the fillibuster to do it, it could put some badly-needed wind in his sails. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@POTUS wanted to connote action & strength today but he also set up tests. He endorsed a fillbuster carve out to codify a right to privacy. He reemphasized his support for a gas tax holiday. But can he deliver on those? And if not, does it compound his problems down the line? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The @POTUS's challenge is that, meritorious as his leadership has been on Ukraine and NATO, these are not the kitchen table issues driving American politics. — PolitiTweet.org
