So @RonJohnsonWI was the mule who sought to convey fake slates of electors to VP @Mike_Pence on 1/6. Wonder what if any consequences this will have for him in his re-election this fall? Certainly folks will be curious how it happened. — PolitiTweet.org

“As a conservative Republican, I don’t like the results of the presidential election,” Bowers said in a 12/20 statement. “But I cannot & will not entertain a suggestion that we violate current law to change the outcome of a certified election.” Seems like a conservative position. — PolitiTweet.org

Wayne Whalen was a brilliant lawyer & civic leader, who helped write the Illinois constitution and was, for six decades, a powerful and respected voice for reform in our state. A perpetual twinkle in his eye and wry smile always proceeded incisive thoughts. He will he missed! https://t.co/8mb63Y363y — PolitiTweet.org

Testimony of AZ House Speaker Rusty Bowers: When asked for the evidence to support claims of vote fraud in Arizona, Rusy Giiulani told a group of legislators: "We've got lots of theories, we just don't have the evidence." — PolitiTweet.org

After an afternoon of first-hand accounts of Trump's strong-arm tactics to overturn the election, @RepAdamSchiff said, "This is not who we are. It must not BECOME who we are." American democracy is a "legacy to be proud of and cherished--not taken for granted." — PolitiTweet.org

This guy was a big shot once. A governor. But despite that title, he turned out to be a RINO--Rational in Name Only. As now, he's proving it all over again. https://t.co/SwAPKlV5tP — PolitiTweet.org

I have to watch the hearings on tape delay today. Please don't ruin it by telling me how it ends! — PolitiTweet.org

On top of this, if you're the @POTUS, and you agree to a gas tax holiday, I wonder how messy it will be to get Congress to reinstate the tax when the holiday expires? With gas prices in the stratosphere, the politics of a gas tax holiday is clear. The reality is more complex. — PolitiTweet.org

Barry Goldwater is an iconic figure in conservative history. Yet a protege, fmr Nixon counsel @JohnWDean, says on the #AxeFiles that Goldwater "would have been drummed out" of today's @GOP for his positions on issues like gay & abortion rights.

If there is a gas tax holiday, what steps will be taken to insure that the savings actually reach consumers? — PolitiTweet.org

There is a short step between an obscene, horrifying threat like this and tragedy. This is what happens when self-styled leaders traffic in baseless conspiracy theories and encourage unhinged extremists to act on them. — PolitiTweet.org

Which of these overwhelming popular gin safety provisions do you believe will become law? — PolitiTweet.org

Patriotism or love of country is not measured by a willingness to ignore its sins or softsell its mistakes but rather to reckon with them. — PolitiTweet.org

Would Richard Nixon have been forced to resign if he had had the backing of a Fox News and the right wing cable/social media infrastructure we see today? I asked Watergate conspirator-turned-Whistleblower @JohnWDean on the #AxeFiles.👇 Full pod here👉https://t.co/UFMxdQv862 https://t.co/Jmb6Nc4EG0 — PolitiTweet.org

What a wonderful gesture. A courageous, muckraking Russian journalist puts his Nobel Prize medal up for auction, with proceeds going to UNICEF for the besieged children of Ukraine. https://t.co/nitFDl1Ijk — PolitiTweet.org

If is of little help politically to @POTUS but gas prices, like inflation, are global and not just U.S. problems. https://t.co/ueoYl7jXZt — PolitiTweet.org

Convicted Watergate conspirator @JohnWDean was the star witness in the scandal that brought down a president half a century ago. On #AxeFiles, he explains why he believes this moment may be more perilous for our democracy. Pod👉 https://t.co/UFMxdQv862 https://t.co/XCbWbCQnLB — PolitiTweet.org

.@VanJones68 offers an important cautionary note about an element of liberal elitism in the Democratic Party that is out of sync with the vast number of Americans of ALL backgrounds. Worth a listen. — PolitiTweet.org

So @KarenBassLA has now taken an almost seven point lead over @RickCarusoLA in the LA mayor's race, totally scrambling the election night story, when Caruso was ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Today's the 50th anniversary of the Watergate break-in. On #AxeFiles, @JohnWDean describes a meeting he had w/Nixon months later in which the POTUS shocked him by signing off on hush money.

Judge Luttig's admonition about the future are, perhaps, more important than his testimony about the events leading to 1/6. https://t.co/b3KCQc9p1b — PolitiTweet.org

Watching the @Warriors on that victory platform--the obvious camaraderie; looseness and joy, with babies everywhere--reminds that you need superstars to win. But great teams have a great, culture, too. Kudos to @SteveKerr for that! — PolitiTweet.org

When Trump finally issued a video after hours of rioting at the Capitol, he said this to the rampaging mob that had threatened the life of his VP. "We love you. You're very special." Meanwhile, Trump never called Pence. By doing his constitutional duty, he was dead to Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Luttig: Trump and his allies are "clear and present danger" to our democracy and threaten to accomplish in 2024 what they failed to do in 2020--to overturn the results of a free and fair election, if the numbers turn against them. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This closing statement from @BennieGThompson is critical. The courage of @MikePence, his staff and countless other judges, state officials and steadfast election workers across the country preserved our democracy. I would add, as Judge Luttig is saying now, this is not over. — PolitiTweet.org
