As a young congressional prober, @RepSpeier was caught in the crossfire of the '78 Jonestown Massacre in Guyana--shot 5 times and left for dead. On a new #AxeFiles, she described the horror. "You don't sweat the small stuff when you're dying." Pod👉https://t.co/34el8ZyOi2 https://t.co/WUF79zrr4c — PolitiTweet.org

So excited to welcome (newly) former WH press secretary Jen Psaki to ⁦@UChiPolitics⁩ for her first public appearance since leaving her post! "Twitter is only 20 percent of the country. Disportionately white. Disproportionately coastal.. an overdriver of conversation." https://t.co/V74OH1Mmog — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, a one-trick pony, is playing the fraud card again, urging Oz to act like a Wizard and just declare himself the winner in PA! https://t.co/nErPjMq6A5 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Bleary-eyed from lack of sleep but energized to talk about the latest turns in the Great Pageant of Democracy, @murphymike and I got together this AM to trade thoughts about yesteday's primary in this special edition of @HacksOnTap! https://t.co/JwTum1Bh9t — PolitiTweet.org

What an irony that the @GOP senate primary in PA will now be decided by still-to-be-counted mail-in ballots. Another ruckus brewing? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But he may not hang on. Oz now leads by an eyelash. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If McCormick hangs on in PA tonight, he may owe it to Barnette, syphoning just enough MAGA votes from Trump's candidate, Dr. Oz, to make the difference. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Mastriano for gov and Barnette for senate in PA @GOP primary ran informally as a team, but he's far outpacing her tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Perfect night at Wrigley: Clear skies. 71 degrees. And @Cubs up 9-0 in the 5th!! https://t.co/qphwAOyY68 — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed it, Aaron! Thanks for inviting me. — PolitiTweet.org

"I experienced all the horrors that came w/that culture. My childhood friend was murdered. I was robbed at gunpoint. I was beaten nearly to death & addicted to crack at 14. All of my negative experiences were fostered & cultivated by the adults that I was around at that time." — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It's chilling to hear author/activist @ShakaSenghor's account of the devastation the crack cocaine epidemic wreaked on his Detroit community and his own life. I really urge you to listen to this clip (below) and our entire conversation on the #AxeFiles! https://t.co/34el8Zzm7A https://t.co/eQbSG56viP — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

A barnburner in PA @GOP senate race, with a ton of plotlines. Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow. I bet Trump, ⁦@LeaderMcConnell⁩, ⁦⁦@SenSchumer⁩ & @POTUS feel the same way, because this one has big implications for senate control. https://t.co/WcGVoj2Qdg — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Watching this @Suns-@dallasmavs game 7. What's striking is how much fun @luka7doncic seems to be having out there--like he's happy to be playing in this big game. Phoenix guys, not so much. But alot of game left! #NBAPlayoffs — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If you really want to understand wants going on on the streets of our cities; about how kids get swept up in gangs, drugs & guns; about our broken criminal justice system, you should listen to this #AxeFiles episode w/author @ShakaSenghor, who's LIVED it! https://t.co/34el8ZyOi2 — PolitiTweet.org

A young white supremacist was removed from school and held for mental health evaluation a year ago but had no problem purchasing the assault weapon with which he murdered 10 people in Buffalo yesterday. https://t.co/lSkmSnx5pQ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He spent 7 yrs in solitary confinement. On #AxeFiles, author @ShakaSenghor describes that soul-crushing experience & calls for reform. "In America there is no way that we would be OK with leaving a dog in a cage for 7 days, 23 hours locked down." Podcast👉https://t.co/T4OebgTQJP https://t.co/orl7nZmKBT — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Let's be honest. The gun lobby has won. There are more guns than people in circulation in America today. And now, the same merchants of death tell us that if we only had MORE guns on the street, we would be safer! It's madness. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This sickening, racist massacre in Buffalo raises so many troubling questions but one we need to deeply explore is just how this 18-year-old domestic terrorist-who live-streamed his crimes online-became radicalized, and the role social media platforms played. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As a runaway kid, author @ShakaSenghor fell in w/ a drug dealer. On #AxeFiles he explained why. "Hetook me to Burger King and was like, 'Get whatever you want.' And I was a starving, little 14 year old...it felt like love. It felt like care." Pod👉https://t.co/34el8ZyOi2 https://t.co/AbZTGniGd4 — PolitiTweet.org

More fluent than me! Should have been gave, not "has given!" — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Brilliant, fluent and unflappable, she's been one of the best to ever grace the White House podium. @jrpsaki has given her last briefing as WH @PressSec yesterday. And on 5/18, she'll be at @UChiPolitics to reflect on her expeience! Register below👇 https://t.co/UStC3AJtUd — PolitiTweet.org

Putin reached for his place in history and he's achieved it--as a war criminal and architect of one of the most egregious strategic miscalculations in modern history. https://t.co/ECYM1EyBOl — PolitiTweet.org

"When I opened the letter, it said, 'Dear Dad, my mom told me you were in prison for murder and, Dad, don't kill again. Jesus watches what you do.' I remember when I read that letter, the facade of hood toughness, the facade of prison savvy, like it all crumbled immediately." — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the run from an abusive home; recruited by drug gangs & at 19, imprisoned for murder. Hear how a letter from his 10-yr-old son helped turn his life around. The #AxeFiles w/the remarkable @ShakaSenghor--author of Letters to the Sons of Society. Pod👉https://t.co/34el8ZhcTs https://t.co/J8if7Nz9KN — PolitiTweet.org

It's a cliche, but champions are champions for a reason. The @Bucks come back from 14 down with 10 minutes left, they beat the @Celtics in Boston. Amazing grit. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Looking forward to sitting down w/@jmartNYT & @alexburnsNYT--authors of This Will Not Pass, to talk about this stormy period in our history. THURSDAY at 5:30 Central. @UChiPolitics! Register 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Is comedy good prep for politics? I asked @alfranken on #AxeFiles about the leadership qualities of another comic turned pol.
