At the Southern Baptist Convention, @drmoore raised flags that he says went unheeded over sexual assault in the church. “It’s awful in any context but especially in a church context. I think it’s one of the most horrible things that can happen.” #AxeFiles: https://t.co/HFfSp2EQs1 https://t.co/ME4GM5fOzd — PolitiTweet.org

The Joint Committee on Taxation, an arm of Congress, found that U.S. multinational companies paid an average tax rate of only 7.8% on their worldwide income after the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, while our top trading partners levied an average rate of 18%. https://t.co/D5it9m7Zfv — PolitiTweet.org

Mental health is not a luxury. Mental illness is not a reflection of weakness or character. It is part of the human condition, and we are all subject to it. Let’s treat it that way! https://t.co/QTiHntBvOA — PolitiTweet.org

One of the important elements of this exhaustive ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ investigation is the three hour period during which the assault was underway and the then president failed to act to stop it. Why? Because he apparently he felt they might succeed. https://t.co/Ny3P7vmL9N — PolitiTweet.org

I produced my first political ads at an edit house owned by an ex-Chicago newsman named Scott Jacobs. He was a joy to work with; always with a wry smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. So sorry to learn of his passing. https://t.co/i9V4EYXfpO — PolitiTweet.org

Evangelical leader @drmoore on 1/6: “When I saw that happening, I was filled w/rage, & I had many people calling and saying, ‘Well, you're vindicated now on Trump. Everyone sees it.’ & I said, no, I've learned my lessons from Access Hollywood.” #AxeFiles👉 https://t.co/HFfSp2EQs1 https://t.co/poQusMl5AE — PolitiTweet.org

Watching former British PM @GordonBrown on @CNN just now, imploring world leaders to accelerate the distribution of vaccines to poorer nations. He made both moral and practical arguments about stemming the global pandemic. “Nobody is safe until everyone’s safe.” — PolitiTweet.org

I didn’t expect them to get by the @Brewers but they did. I didn’t expect them to get by the @Dodgers but they did. I didn’t expect them to get by the @astros but they’re up 3-1. Maybe the @Braves are good?!? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In 2016, @drmoore denounced Trump after the release of the raw Access Hollywood tape. On #AxeFiles, Moore talks about his shock at the reaction he engendered among his fellow evangelicals, who asked, “How can you criticize someone who’s on our side?” Pod👉 https://t.co/HFfSp2EQs1 https://t.co/BjnhoNrfio — PolitiTweet.org

Struck by fmr NATO leader/Danish PM Rasmussen’s comment that world leaders are watching VA & even a NARROW win by McAuliffe would be a warning sign. “It would add to some skepticism in Europe (about) the declaration that ‘America is back.’” https://t.co/onfW8I4v4t — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I misspoke on TV tonight. An issue that’s surfaced late in the VA campaign did NOT involve a transgender student, as right wing bloviators have implied. My point was that, even as Youngkin tries to distance himself from Trump, he’s slyly aping Trump’s culture war politics. — PolitiTweet.org

“10 yrs ago, I’d have parents concerned about their children losing their faith. Now I'm hearing adult children who are saying, ‘What do I do w/my mom & dad who’ve become radicalized on Facebook?’” @drmoore on radicalization among evangelicals #AxeFiles: https://t.co/HFfSp2EQs1 https://t.co/6rz6frkk8w — PolitiTweet.org

Many thanks to @SenDuckworth and @RepAdamSchiff for a rich and thoughtful discussion just now @UChiPolitics about the state of our democracy. https://t.co/fcwOG7Ln6q — PolitiTweet.org

I disagree with @AdamKinzinger on many issues but I appreciate his service and respect and admire him for standing up to Trump’s trespasses against democracy when so many others have cowered. https://t.co/gzeBhoqZNg — PolitiTweet.org

The sausage-making on major pieces of legislation is never attractive. @POTUS’s bet is that the baby will be a lot better-looking than the process of birthing it. — PolitiTweet.org

"I don't think he's had any change in terms of the support that he has…And in looking around the Republican Party right now, it certainly is hard to see who could be an alternative. So I think it's entirely possible that he could run in 2024 and win.” @drmoore on #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

I had a fascinating #AxeFiles conversation the other day w/Russell Moore (@drmoore), the theologian & current Pritzker Fellow @UChiPolitics, whose criticism of Trump led to a public breach w/other evangelical leaders.

Leaving aside that COVID’s proven more lethal to law enforcement than criminals in the past year, the defiance of Chicago police to a vaccine mandate raises a disturbing question: What happens when those we rely on to enforce the law pick and choose rules w/which they’ll comply? — PolitiTweet.org
