In the end, this is core Trump: No sense of right or wrong. Flouting of rules, norms and laws, which be believes are for suckers. It’s how he’s run his businesses. It’s how he ran the U.S. government. That’s catastrophic for a democracy. https://t.co/h6DVbp8imx — PolitiTweet.org

America the Beautiful evolved from a poem by Katherine Lee Bates. It was written in 19th Century, in the midst of the Gilded Age, to call the nation to its higher ideals: “America! America! God shed His grace on thee Till selfish gain no longer stain, The banner of the free!” — PolitiTweet.org

On this Independence Day, let us do more than enjoy good food, company and fireworks. Let’s value our democracy and recommit to preserving and strengthening it. And remember those around the world struggling to win what we have. Like @nathanlawkc & the people of Hong Kong! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, @nathanlawkc talks about the “survivor’s gullt” he feels because he’s living in exile while allies in Hong Kong are in prison. “Grieving…doesn't help,” he says. But prodding “the world to adopt a more assertive approach to China” does! Pod👉https://t.co/IjdQS8Kn3Y https://t.co/exond0NggF — PolitiTweet.org

I hope you will read this piece I wrote about my heroic daughter, Lauren. People with intellectual disabilities should not be handed a one-size-fits-all formula about how they live their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Kohl also owned the @Bucks when they raised eyebrows by drafting a teenager from Greece, @Giannis_An34–now a two-time MVP-AND when they picked a young player discarded by the @DetroitPistons, @Khris22m, now an All-Star pillar of the team. — PolitiTweet.org

Sad to see the great Marv Albert sign off for the last time tonight on @NBAonTNT at the end of the Eastern Conference Finals. I grew up listening to him call @nyknicks games. His “Yes, and it counts!” when a player scored and was fouled is part of my classic sports soundtrack. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But great to see the @Bucks in the Finals for the first time in 47 years! And a shout out to former owner and U.S. Senator Herb Kohl, who TWICE saved the team for his beloved Milwaukee-when he bought the team and when he sold it. — PolitiTweet.org

In upholding AZ’s restrictive voting laws, Justice Alito said strictures the state imposed would “improve voter confidence” about the integrity of elections. I guess the idea is: if you lie about the integrity of elections you can then pass suppressive laws to reassure people. — PolitiTweet.org

At 23, democracy activist @nathanlawkc won a stunning race for Hong Kong council. But authorities quickly stripped him of his post and jailed him for leading protests. “Just in the month, I was degraded from ‘an honorable legislator’ to inmate.” #AxeFiles: https://t.co/IjdQS8Kn3Y https://t.co/fn0jZ5jaLL — PolitiTweet.org

I hope the incompetence of the NYC Board of Elections doesn’t detract from interest in the ranked choice voting experiment, which has real promise. — PolitiTweet.org

What a clown show. What a disgrace! This “recount” saga has turned AZ into a Third World state. Something to consider as we prepare to hoist the Red, White and Blue and celebrate America’s founding principles. https://t.co/6l7qAWAUYi — PolitiTweet.org

It was moving to hear the young Hong Kong democracy leader @nathanlawkc, driven from the city by China’s crackdown, speak about his flight from family, friends and the life he knew-perhaps forever.

How much is democracy worth? As we approach July 4th, I’m posting a new #AxeFiles with @nathanlawkc, 28, the pro-democracy student leader from Hong Kong, who served time in prison and now is living in exile.

It is beautiful to watch @CP3 do his thing! When he sat down, the @Clippers cut the @Suns lead from 17 to 7. He comes back and asserts himself. @Suns back up bu 20!! #NBAPlayoffs2021 — PolitiTweet.org

But I basically agree with @PWSullivan. Even if they could make the playoffs, this isn’t championship @Cubs team. Irresponsible not to think about the future, even if it means parting with players who have meant so much to the team and city. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It’s hard to overstate how devastating the @cubs loss was today. From leading the rival @Brewers 7-0 in the 1st inning to losing the game 15-7! I hope this isn’t the game we’ll look back on as the day the Cubs became sellers, running up the white flag for this team. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m sure the NY DA and AG understand that, from an optics standpoint, the first charges they bring against the Trump Organization can’t be petty, rarely-prosecuted crimes. Don’t they? — PolitiTweet.org

What’s the @POTUS’s best asset as he tries to fly through turbulence and land the infrastructure plane?

Script already is written: 1) @GOP opposes bi-partisan 1/6 Commission. 2) House Dems appoint a Select Committee to probe 1/6. 3) Having rejected a BI-partisan commission, @GOP will dismiss Select Committee findings as partisan. https://t.co/EGPbpMcJAv — PolitiTweet.org
