The @POTUS's pledge to defend "every inch" of NATO territory probably was cold comfort to the Ukrainians, who desperately would like that protection. #SOTU — PolitiTweet.org

The ovation for the ambassdor from Ukraine, tears in her eyes, was so moving. #SOTU — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Bipartisan ovations at the open on Ukraine. Probably won't hold for other sections of the speech. But united on this! #SOTU — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The absence of a mask on the @POTUS is central to one of his message. We've entered a new and better phase in the battle w/COVID. #SOTU — PolitiTweet.org

.⁦@arneduncan⁩ is a Chicago civic treasure. This is a loss for the city but the work he's doing to stop the killing and save young lives is heroic. https://t.co/2qw08k1K3k — PolitiTweet.org

It may be irrational but I don't want to turn the TV off and lose connection with what's going on in Ukraine--as if by going to sleep, I'm abandoning the valiant people, facing down a huge, invading army to save their country and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

.@biannagolodryga of @CNN and her family fled the old Soviet Union for freedom. On #AxeFiles, she says it's ominous to hear her parents & others "say things weren't as bad then in the Soviet Union as they are now under Putin's authoritarian Russia."

Today, democracy is imperiled, not just in Ukraine but around the globe & DISINFORMATION is a key! On 4/6-4/8, @UChiPolitics & @TheAtlantic will host #Disinfo2022 w/@BarackObama, @NobelPrize-winner @MariaRessa & many more to explore solutions.

On #AxeFiles, @biannagolodryga of @CNN speaks about the jailed Russian dissident Alexei @Navalny, whose powerful insurgency, she says, has piqued Putin's paranoia and may have foreshadowed his determination to crush Ukraine. Pod👉https://t.co/Q5PU4Qvn9k https://t.co/P5TzufCzeU — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously, I meant was "as revealing AS it was wrong. Damn thumbs!! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Trump called Putin's decision to invade Ukraine "genius," which was as revealing and it was wrong. This brutal invasion has been a historic blunder for Russia, and Trump's comments may be a historic blunder for him. — PolitiTweet.org

Heard a Ukrainian woman asked why she remained in a besieged Kiev while her family fled. "Because this is my city," she replied. "This is my country. This is my homeland. I am not leaving. The Russians need to leave." — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Courageous and defiant, Zelensky rallies his people from the streets of Kyiv while Putin broods cloistered and alone, issuing occasional screeds that seem increasingly unhinged. What a contrast! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I wonder how many Russian 80-year-olds are showing up to volunteer for Putin's bloody mission in Ukraine? — PolitiTweet.org

Am I the only one trying ro figure our whether my community-and ones I'm traveling to-are high, moderate or low risk so i know whether to wear a mask indoors under this new CDC advisory? Is there a guide? Why does it always have to be so confusing?🤪 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Millions of Ukrainians may be displaced by war. @CNN's @biannagolodryga arrived in the U.S. as a Jewish immigrant from the old Soviet Union in the early '80s and landed with her family in Texas. On #AxeFiles, she describes the challenges she faced. Pod👉https://t.co/Q5PU4QMYxU https://t.co/72xporyQfl — PolitiTweet.org

Bet the WH speechwriters are reworking Tuesday's State of the Union right now to bulk up Ukraine section--and should. It's a rare-and necessary-opportunity to further rally the country behind the steps and sacrifices necessary to help rein in Putin's dangerous aggression. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

High praise from Justice Breyer for Ketanji Brown Jackson, who once served as his law clerk. “She sees things from different points of view, and she sees somebody else’s point of view and understands it." An essential quality for a Justice on the SCOTUS. https://t.co/e9h7bHtLd5 — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to exploring the political ramifications of Putin's war in Ukraine here at home w/two brilliant analysts--@amyewalter of @CookPolitical and @mmurraypolitics of @NBCNews! TONIGHT at @UChiPolitics.👇 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I hope @POTUS makes the strongest possible case for why Putin's invasion of Ukraine is very much our business...not just an assault on our values but global security. It will require painful sacrifices here but history teaches us that a failure to act would be even more costly, — PolitiTweet.org

"We want to be brave to show our children." A Ukranian woman, small kids at her side, speaking moments ago on @CNN from a jammed Metro station in Kharkiv that has now become a bomb shelter. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Hours before Russia's all-out assault on Ukraine began, I spoke on #AxeFiles w/@biannagolodryga of @CNN, born in the old Soviet Union, who offered keen insights into Putin's "bitter" and "delusional" harangue foreshadowing the attack.

Everything is unfolding as U.S. intel forecast. A brazen and brutish assault by one country with the clear objective of subjugating another. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

We've watched the Russian snake coil for weeks. Still, the attack is incredibly sobering. — PolitiTweet.org
