@Laura22594338 @Atul_Gawande @NewYorker Not dumb at all. I included the link for the full pod on Tweet but failed to identify it as such. Here it is again: https://t.co/VIdPhonCSe — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump latest dystopic ad that ends with the words “You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America.” But how safe do you feel in Trump’s America, where the death toll is 132,000 and climbing from a virus the President last weekend called “99 percent harmless?” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Defining, yes. 100 percent. But UNIFYING?? Seriously?!?? those incendiary speeches?!?!?! In the tortured political calculus of @realDonaldTrump, division equals addition. It’s how he thinks he’s going to be win. — PolitiTweet.org

China chose its moment. As the world wrestles with COVID-19 and a global recession, and America stands on the sidelines, Xi moves to crush democracy and dissent in Hong Kong with shockingly mured international reaction. https://t.co/ieZx7K0Vca — PolitiTweet.org

In @realDonaldTrump’s telling, there are only two possible scenarios this: He wins or the election was stolen. (Remember, he still claims to have won the popular vote he lost by 3 million in ‘16, arguing “massive fraud” which no one could ever find.) https://t.co/AHaQ26ym8a — PolitiTweet.org

On new #AxeFiles, I asked @BakariSellers whether he has a VP recommendation for @JoeBiden. A more discerning podcaster would have noticed the sweatshirt Bakari was wearing! Answer below: Full pod👉https://t.co/4KU7UcsptN https://t.co/au7nbYWecS — PolitiTweet.org

The @realDonaldTrump campaign says they need the rallies to collect valuable data so they are forging ahead, despite warnings from public health experts. But isn’t as much to allow a fragile @POTUS to bathe himself in the adulation and approval he so desperately craves? — PolitiTweet.org

A footnote: Cuban’s story is quite different than Trump’s. The son of an automobile upholsterer, Cuban started off with nothing and built his fortune from scratch as an early innovator in the computer and internet industries. It’s actually quite a story. Good listen! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In a new #AxeFiles, a billionaire reality TV star expounds on many subjects, including his own musing about running for POTUS. My convo w/@mcuban, owner of the @dallasmavs, who had a few things to say about that OTHER billionaire reality TV star/POTUS! 👉https://t.co/oZMsoGhyTk https://t.co/ZSbpb5il9P — PolitiTweet.org

As Americans across the country protest the scourge of racism, it seems more than appropriate at this moment in history that Iowa voters, at long last, have shown @SteveKingIA the door. https://t.co/xODhV4NCwE — PolitiTweet.org

“Racism in America is like dust in the air. It seems invisible — even if you’re choking on it — until you let the sun in. Then you see it’s everywhere.” Kareem Abdul-Jabber ⁦@kaj33⁩ https://t.co/tLq221VLXV — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Sat down for new #AxeFiles w/⁦@ezraklein11⁩ of @voxdotcom to talk about the great divides in our politics, the 2020 election and his own journey from precocious blogger to media force. Pod👉https://t.co/oZMsoGhyTk And here he makes case for @Ewarren as @JoeBiden VP: https://t.co/zHcDxlwnyZ — PolitiTweet.org

RT @matthewjdowd: @davidaxelrod Shouldn’t this be an indictment as well of local leaders in places where there are thousands of deaths? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Looking forward to welcoming @Ewarren to @UChiPolitics today at 5:45 central for a virtual town hall on the COVID crisis and its implications for the future. It will steam live on the IOP Facebook page. https://t.co/jUpMvhTeI3 — PolitiTweet.org

.@BarackObama didn’t mention @realDonaldTrump. Yet somehow everyone concluded that when Obama referenced adults with fancy titles who act like children and do only what feels good, the president’s supporters immediately read it as a dastardly attack on HIM. Why is that?🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m re-releasing another vintage #AxeFiles today, this one w/@AaronSorkin, brilliant creator of The West Wing, about his life and work. Here he speaks about his battle w/addiction, and how the late actress Carrie Fisher helped save him. Full pod: https://t.co/oZMsoGhyTk https://t.co/eqilyP03PF — PolitiTweet.org

This piece is very “material” in evaluating just how blatantly corrupt and outrageous was the AG’s precedent-shattering decision to drop the case against Flynn. https://t.co/5I4gYy9NPO — PolitiTweet.org

On a new #AxeFiles, @cecmunoz, who ran Domestic Policy Council under @BarackObama, speaks of stark disparities of race and class COVID-19 siege has again exposed. Great, wide-ranging discussion on the crisis, immigration, her life and career. https://t.co/oZMsoGhyTk https://t.co/SPLOULJw9G — PolitiTweet.org

.@joseandreschef came to the U.S. w/nothing but a dream to become a top chef & restaurateur. But, as he described in this classic #AxeFiles, w/success-and citizenship-came an urge to give back, as he is today, feeding the hungry in the COVID-19 siege.

Since the @POTUS associated with Lincoln, I was reminded of this: “It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.” — PolitiTweet.org

This isn’t about addressing the crisis. It’s about abusing the crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So when it times to securing the ventilators, masks and other equipment required to fight a global pandemic, the governors are responsible. When it comes to ending stay at home directives in the states, the president’s “authority is total?” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I was grilled many times by Chris Wallace. Always tough but fair. I figured it was his job to answer tough questions and mine to answer. Chris is a fine journalist who doesn’t pull his punches for anyone. Which is, of course, deeply offensive to @realDonaldTrump. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Almost all of his comments are aimed at extolling his administration’s efforts. But where he really gets in deep waters is where he riffs on his own. — PolitiTweet.org
