David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It's obvious how comfortable @POTUS feels on global terrain, as he takes a victory lap over the U.S.-led the fortification of NATO and the Atlantic Alliance. A chance to tout action and leadership he badly needs. — PolitiTweet.org

How divided are we as we enter Independence Day weekend? A new poll from @UChiPolitics shines a light on the white hot-and increasingly dangerous-fissures between Red and Blue in America. https://t.co/QCvts9kdR0 — PolitiTweet.org

Trumpworld is flailing,as you'd expect, against Cassidy Hutchinson and all the others who have come forward. But you have to ask yourself this: Would she & other Trump appointees have subjected themselves to this predictable firestorm to lie under oath? It's just not plausible. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Recorded @HacksOnTap w/the brilliant @SarahLongwell25 of @BulwarkOnline yesterday BEFORE the bombshell hearing and primaries. Lots of good stuff. But @murphymike, @Robt_Gibbs and I will be back tomorrow for a breof addenda to ponder yesterday's events. https://t.co/YaMDeNg6x7 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I've no doubt Trump's been damaged by the mind-boggling and horrific 1/6 revelations, but he still has juice with his base. (See yesteday's IL primaries.) If you believe the lie that the election was stolen, you may also believe that almost anything was justifiable in response. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is good news. A stone cold election denier, under indictment for tampering with voting equipment, goes down hard in the @GOP primary for CO Sec of State. https://t.co/urqw7v7ImM — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Here's the latest: By a 5-3 vote, the SCOTUS decided that the clock on the wall of its chambers will now run backwards. The chief wrote a separate opinion, arguing that it should simply stand still. https://t.co/H1C0cnbCET — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@RepLizCheney's description at the end of today's hearings of the intimidation of potential witnesses sounded like it was ripped right out of the Godfather! Which makes Ms. Hutchinson's testimony all the more impressive and laudable. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The references to the foreknowledge of likely violence and Meadows contacts with the Stone-Rudy-Flynn "command center" tightens the connection between the WH and the indicted seditious conspirators. No wonder these guys wanted pardons! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It's really hard to reconcile today's stunning testimony with the fact that-as of this morning, at least, this man is the frontrunner for the @GOP nomination in '24- He violated his oath, flouted our laws and knowingly endangered lives. The portrait today was of a man unhinged. — PolitiTweet.org

"As an American, I was disgusted. It was unpatrotic. It was un-American. We were watching the Capitol defaced based on a lie." -Cassidy Hutchinson. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is the behavior of a lunatic. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

My God, this is devatating! Trump wrestling with his detail to try and get control of his limo to go to join the mob at the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

You can see why @RepLizCheney has been so public with her demand that Cippollone testify. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepFredUpton was one of just ten Republicans who voted impeach Trump for his role in the 1/6 insurrection. Still, Upton, who is retiring after 36 years in Congress, concedes that Trump "has a decent chance to be our nominee (in '24)." Pod👉https://t.co/mr2MQrZ4V7 https://t.co/RTJWLSDyWY — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In cartoons, Bugs Bunny rolls out a canon, lights the fuse, covers his ears and, with much anticipation, a flag pops out of the barrel that says "Pop." This is what the 1/6 committee wants to avoid today. Deft as they've been, you have to believe they will. — PolitiTweet.org

"The NRA? They're against it, of course. For them, right now, this is a major moneymaking deal. Go to their website and this is a direct assault on the Second Amendment. Send money now. I mean, this is a group that filed for bankruptcy a few years ago." — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Veteran @RepDannyDavis, who once WAS the Left candidate ages ago, is facing a stiff challenge FROM the Left in Tuesday's primary, when turnout in Chicago is expected to be low. Hence, the @POTUS's last-minute endorsement for Davis, who remains a tenuous favorite. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Does the NRA really view the new, bipartisan gun safety law as an "assault on the 2d Amendment?" Or does the cash-starved outfit just see it as fundraising tool? On #AxeFiles, @RepFredUpton, one of 14 Houses Rs to support the bill, has an answer. Pod👉https://t.co/vcHve7wtnr https://t.co/4HeZqusLXJ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

With shredding of Roe/expansion of gun rights by the most reactionary SCOTUS in a century; thegroundless undermining of faith in free & fair elections, audacious coup attempt AND remaking of the @GOP in his image, Trump's legacy is huge and undeniable. https://t.co/QmdCVnmGm9 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Not hard to figure out @LeaderMcConnell. He knew Roe & gun decisions were coming down from the SCOTUS majority he helped build & that those decisions would be toxic w/the suburban women @GOP needs this fall. So he signed off on modest gun reforms in hopes of softening the blow. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What did @RepFredUpton learn as a young aide to President Ronald Reagan, a foundational figure of the Right? Bipartisanship, he says, on #AxeFiles! "He had a wonderful relationship w/people from Tip O'Neill to Bob Dole." Boy, how times have changed! Pod👉https://t.co/vcHve7wtnr https://t.co/1NyuzAlKhO — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The Founding Fathers wrote a constitution designed to prevent a tyranny of the majority. But what happens when you have a tyranny of the minority, gaming the system to promote a radical agenda that flouts the will of the majority under the guise of constitutionalism? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Interresting to see how many Trump-backed candidates win in November. Here's another primary where Trump and Ds agree: They both are rooting for Bailey in Tuesday's IL primary--Trump because Bailey loves him. D's because IL's not a Trump-loving state. https://t.co/XYwUqM2S9p — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Two things that now separate the U.S. from developed nations around the world: the denial of access to abortion and the easy access to deadly weapons. Sobering. https://t.co/1uG1EQ6nU8 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

How about women who need care and can't get it? The brave men and women who provide it under constant threat? How about a prayer for our country & relief from souless politicians who will say/do anything-or deny what they've said before-in pursuit of power & their own ambitions? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@RepFredUpton, one of 14 Rs to support the gun safety bill in House, recalls on #AxeFiles the aftermath of a past vote for a background checks. "When I voted for that, I had police protection in parades because of the threats that came our way." Pod👉https://t.co/vcHve7wtnr https://t.co/h7UBLoTahD — PolitiTweet.org
