The country is in the grips of an epic pandemic-160,000 dead and the toll climbing-and @realDonaldTrump thinks the big threat is “left-wing violent extremism?” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump also preparing executive order opening the federal highway system to all drivers. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I can’t remember any VP selection process where so much oppo research has been dumped. If I were @JoeBiden, looking for a good and loyal partner, that should be a source of concern. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Mind-boggling to see Larry Kudlow, the POTUS’s chief economic adviser on @CNN today, saying that what we need are incentives to encourage people to go back to work, as if the problem is lack of desire on the part of American workers. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

One thing we know is that @JoeBiden is a man of deep faith, which is what allowed him to survive unthinkable tragedies in his life. Imagine @realDonaldTrump, of all people, accusing Biden of being “against God!” Trump hoists the Bible. Biden lives by it. https://t.co/Ymlh2l3oZD — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Is the @POTUS racist? On the latest #AxeFiles, @RepKarenBass talked about Trump and the toll she says his divisive politics has taken on the country. Great conversation with the California congresswoman who has emerged as a leading contender for VP. https://t.co/44cHVAOKnr https://t.co/fMeCp1QFxJ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And on @HacksonTap, ⁦@alexwagner⁩ delivers the mail on ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩, the U.S. Postal Service and fears about what a slowdown there could mean for an election in which COVID fears will mean a higher volume of mail-in ballots. Pod here👉 https://t.co/6cSsteis9A https://t.co/sjBprIKgnk — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, I asked @RepKarenBass, whose name has surfaced for VP, what leadership lessons she learned as Speaker of the CA Assembly when she had to navigate the state thru a budget crisis. during the economic crash of ‘08-‘10 Full, revealing pod here👇https://t.co/44cHVAx8YR https://t.co/DEyooxCBXy — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Has a great #AxeFiles conversation with @RepKarenBass, which will be up TOMORROW. Hear the amazing backstory of the Californian who has vaulted to the top of the VP speculation! https://t.co/EDGsTolTa0 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Smart cut on policing from a public policy veteran steeped in the issue, @PCunningham57. https://t.co/Ed6Kira85b — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@HacksonTap is back and, tho @murphymike was on assignment, I had a great time w/two great Hackeroos-former WH press secretary @Robt_Gibbs and @alexwagner of @SHO_TheCircus. A lot of trying to figure out what in the world @realDonaldTrump is thinking!🙄 https://t.co/Utw0m054NU — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump went to great pains in prepared briefing remarks tonight to talk about all he says has been done to shield the elderly from COVID-19 “in ways we never even thought possible.” Someone over there is reading polls that show Trump lagging @JoeBiden w/seniors. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

With 156,000 Americans dead from COVID-19, @realDonaldTrump insisted against just now that the U.S. is doing better than the rest of the world. To be clear, we have 4 percent of the world’s population and account for more than 22 percent of COVID deaths globally. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In this ‘18 conversation for my #AxeFiles show on @CNN, the podcast of which I re-released Monday, Justice Sonia Sotomayor spoke candidly of the biases she has faced, even as she was up for a seat on the highest court in the land. Great convo! Full Pod👉https://t.co/8OJFfZ9Ujz https://t.co/9jFztXUvjP — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This entire interview is worth watching. It was disturbingly revealing in many different ways. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The @POTUS says mail-in ballots will be “a great embarrassment to our country.” Fill in comments here. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“They’re using COVID to try and get mail-in ballots.” No, Mr. @POTUS. “They” are trying to ensure that people can vote without risking their health or lives in a pandemic by state standing in long lines, at understaffed polling places. He is setting up post-election fog. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@joebiden is slated to speak w/VP hopefuls this week so you have to believe there’s a bunch of candidates who are, at this moment, staring at their cellphones, hoping for call. Biden is a good reader of people and knows the VP specs better than anyone. These convos will be key. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In this Best Of The #AxeFiles, Justice Sonia Sotomayor spoke revealingly about human dynamics on divided SCOTUS; her deep ties to a storm-battered Puerto Rico & her pathbreaking journey from the South Bronx to the highest court in the land. Pod here👉https://t.co/8OJFfZrvb7 https://t.co/i6EekYo9Ik — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

There are legit security concerns about TikTok. But I can’t help thinking @sarahcpr may have, um, heightened @realDonaldTrump’s alarm.🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Square this sober assessment from his own COVID-19 adviser, Dr. Birx, with the @POTUS’s happy talk about the virus. https://t.co/sfXgUKSW5o — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

A Pentagon spokesperson said that Tata has "has been designated as the official Performing the Duties of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Policy reporting to the Acting Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Dr. James Anderson." SAY WHAT?!?! https://t.co/sEvwyiG9mi — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Maybe someone should organize a peaceful march on the U.S. Postal Service to protest its subversion as an election approaches in which mail-in voting during a pandemic will be necessarily important? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“We’re in great shape and well-positioned to win.” -@JasonMillerinDC of @realDonaldTrump campaign, just now on @FoxNewsSunday. This sounds just like the president’s fantastical assessment of how the nation is doing on COVID-19! https://t.co/KzHId2YGgz — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Maybe the best idea for the @MLB is to declare the last team that is COVID-free the World Series Champs? https://t.co/UwLWGCeeIR — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The combination of a lack of poll workers due to COVID concerns combined with what appears to be willful subversion by the @POTUS of the Postal Service appears to be a perfect storm brewing. https://t.co/tKAmSAXsjQ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the latest #AxeFiles, ⁦@GovLarryHogan⁩, who is no lover of ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩, urges Dems not to play into Trump’s hands by embracing the mantra of defunding is police. Listen to the full pod: https://t.co/JA4KcVfdo6 https://t.co/g0yX2pdvH0 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This was a chilling postscript to the Portland saga. Police state tactics. https://t.co/PxouUcQqSm — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Despite @realDonaldTrump’s yammering about mail-in voting, it’s @JoeBiden who may have the most to lose here-not due to fraud but mishandling of ballots. This piece by @Redistrict of @CookPolitical, one of the most incisive analysts around, explains why. https://t.co/z40KI5UHPt — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is why polls need to be interpreted cautiously. @JoeBiden’s up against an opponent w/the vast power of the presidency and absolutely no hesitance to use it to win. It’s asymmetric warfare. @realDonaldTrump thinks rules, laws & norms are for losers. https://t.co/5PHUQyOw4V — PolitiTweet.org
