.@GovWhitmer is loathe to talk about herself & post-Biden presidential chatter. Here's what she DID say on the #AxeFiles: "I do think that this executive experience is important and could be could benefit someone running for president at some point."

I had the opportunity to sit down for a long, memorable lunch with Blake Hounshell a few months ago. What a smart, passionate, feeling human being! Like many others, I'm devastated to learn of his passing. My heart goes out to his family. May his memory be a blessing. — PolitiTweet.org

Story is much different but this is the image that flashed before Trump's eyes when @JoeBiden docs story broke. https://t.co/kUyTyCSbZs — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As Ds take control of MI House & Senate for 1st time in 40 yrs, @GovWhitmer says new gun safety laws will be among her priorities. "We can't talk about public safety just by beefing up police forces. We have to also talk about guns." Pod👉https://t.co/fIfFoufGbM https://t.co/VnGNPCkEoq — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Great piece by fmr ⁦@RepCharlieDent⁩ about institutional cost of the deal that made ⁦@SpeakerMcCarthy. Q for today, as Congress returns, is whether Rs who weren't part of negotiations stick by a dangerous deal or reject the rules he agreed to. https://t.co/GUvcsBnaKM — PolitiTweet.org

Before she knew she had been targeted by a militia group, @GovWhitmer warned the WH about Trump's provocative rhetoric. "I called Pence, a number of times and I said, I need you to get the rhetoric to cool down. Someone is going to get killed!" #AxeFiles👉https://t.co/fIfFoufGbM https://t.co/yoc1mMTyun — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin McCarthy wanted to be Speaker in the worst way--and that's just what he's done. https://t.co/xTP9uCqhMo — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

With a Dem in the WH & Dems in the senate majority, the House Rs can pass performative legislation to thrill their base with little consequence. The failure to fund the government or see to it that it meets its obligations, however, would be catastrophic. That's a real concern. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, @GovWhitmer, the target of a kidnapping plot by a right-wing militia group, discusses why their convictions are so important. "We cannot let this become the norm. We cannot let this go unaccounted for." Full pod here: https://t.co/fIfFoufGbM https://t.co/kz6zKVpnj5 — PolitiTweet.org

It was a very bad auguring for the new Speaker that his final installation happened thanks to Gaetz, who had spent the week loudly proclaiming that McCarthy could not be trusted. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Now that McCarthy is finally, barely installed, it'll be interesting to see if he can marshall support for the rules package and other deals he cut with the dissidents who held him hostage all week. — PolitiTweet.org

This was the most humiliating moments any leader has suffered on the floor of Congress. Ever. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm old enough to remember-I think it was this afternoon-when McCarthy said this was the week the House Republicans learned to govern. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm old enough to remember--I think it was this morning--when Gaetz loudly predicted that McCarthy would NEVER get the votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Word is that @GOPleader has summoned Trump to close to the deal with the holdouts. On the 1/6 anniversary, perhaps all of McCarthy's obsequiousness toward the instigator of the insurrection will have paid off. — PolitiTweet.org

On the #AxeFiles, @GovWhitmer speaks about her own experience as a rape survivor and why the battle for abortion rights in Michigan animated her '22 reelection campaign.

Two years ago today, we watched the citadel of our republic overrun by an insurrectionist mob, fired up by a defeated president, intent on provoking a coup. Democracy is not a gift. It's a project. Let us never forget it! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

AZ Speaker Rusty Bowers is an American hero for resisting the plot to overturn the 2020 election, including pressure from Trump himself. Appropriate that he'll receive a presidential medal at the WH on Friday, the 2d anniversary of rhe 1/6 insurrection. https://t.co/G1Wpdlcp4Y — PolitiTweet.org

On the bright side, McCarthy's enjoyed more nominating speeches than any candidate for Speaker in a century. (Tied with @HakeemJeffries.) That's something, right? — PolitiTweet.org
