The appointment of a special counsel change little. But it DID give Trump the chance to play his favorite role: Victim! #tiresome https://t.co/YeN7YBj4Yi — PolitiTweet.org

The appointment of a Special counsel, which was necessary but changes little, did give Trump another chance to play his favorite role: Victim! #tiresome — PolitiTweet.org

In an election year in which you would expected a lot of upheaval, not one incumbent senator lost and only one governor. Pretty remarkable. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Tonight the country has rendered an emphatic verdict on election denial and conspiracy theorists. Last week, @KatiLake was presumed the next governor & potential national candidate. This week, the Trump wannabe is yet another loser. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@Andrew_J_Ryan1 Agreed. Having escaped the wave, Dems shouldn't escape this conversation. You can't write off large swaths of the country and build an enduring majority. — PolitiTweet.org

Is @GOPLeader McCarthy is locked in a Faustian bargain. He sold his soul to become Speaker and, if he makes it at all, it promises to be a living hell. — PolitiTweet.org

On #AxeFiles, I visit/w @maggieNYT, author of new bestseller, Confidence Man. Here she speaks of Trump as a child of privilege. "When you grow up to believe that everything's going to be hardwired for you, you tend to think the rules shouldn't apply." Pod👉https://t.co/a8q8vytPL0 https://t.co/g3CPhI9342 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, former WH speechwriter @codykeenan talks about his process & the importance & limits of empathy. "You can imagine what it might be like to lose a child. But if you don't have children yet, it's a stretch & you need to talk to people who do." https://t.co/mIfa0Qkgs7 — PolitiTweet.org

This subpoena of Trump is a justified but almost certainly a symbolic act. He will resist. The subpoena likely will die will die with the end of this Congress. But a dramatic coda to these public hearings. — PolitiTweet.org

Not at all the most important thing in the midst of a horrific catastrophe but shouldn't someone on his staff gently mentioned something about the boots BEFORE he went out?!? https://t.co/6n18FBJRNA — PolitiTweet.org

The Sacklers, the Rx billionaires, played the system to limit their exposure for lying about the addictiveness of OxyContin. On #AxeFiles, Dopesick author @papergirlmacy says, not enough. "Unless somebody goes to jail," she says, others will do the same. https://t.co/285dJOCNEY — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I has a really interesting conversation w/⁦@RepKinzinger⁩ on #AxeFiles about why he voted against impeaching Trump in '20 and why so many of Republican colleagues are sticking w/Trump now, despite all that's happened. I wrote about this below: https://t.co/lyaOk5xsIu — PolitiTweet.org

In court today, Trump lawyer equated Trump's refusal to return documents to the National Archives as an "overdue library book." My experience has been that you have to check library books out--and top secret informative that can jeopardize lives is generally not available. — PolitiTweet.org

As the @POTUS prepares to address the discuss threats to democracy, upwards of 70 percent of Republicans say they don't believe Biden is the legitimately elected president. That, alone, is a threat to democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Quite a contrast on @CNNSotu this AM between @RepMikeTurner and Gov. @AsaHutchinson in talking w/@brikeilarcnn about the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago. Turner courted the base w/dark insinuations. Hutchinson was much more measured and defended the overheated attacks on DOJ & FBI. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Whether he declassified them or not, this begs the question WHY? Why on earth did Trump take a raft of national security secrets when he left office and what was he planning to do with them?!? https://t.co/GT0gBciV5n — PolitiTweet.org

.@JasonKander has written a powerful and moving book--Invisible Storm: A Soldier's Memoir of Politics and PTSD--about the unseen wounds of war and his journey of healing. The proceeds from the book's sales go to the Veterans Community Project, which helped him & many other vets. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Five years ago, I sat down for w/@JasonKander--a buzzy young political phenom, eying a run for POTUS. A year later, the Army vet dropped out of politics and out of sight, disclosing that he was grappling with PTSD. We talk about it on a NEW #AxeFiles👇https://t.co/8JQYU1TBE1 https://t.co/EUfdjmZiXR — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In late Dec., I wrote that despite all the crepe-hanging over the collapse of Build Back Better, Biden could yet wind up defying the naysayers and signing a smaller, yet still significant plan. With senate approval today, that victory is cloae at hand. https://t.co/bSvtSUZBoy — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In both RCP AND 538 polling averages, Ds have fought back on the generic congressional ballot to a tie. It's not enough to forestall losses but the trajectory should be concerning to @GOP. Dobbs, mass shootings, 1/6 hearings, Trump & extremist candidates. #Millstones — PolitiTweet.org
