All in all, @POTUS has had a hell of a legislative run--sometimes by laying back and allowing Ds and Rs on the Hill to work through good faith compromises and sometimes by pushing hard from his end of PA Avenue. https://t.co/6g0FogEgrn — PolitiTweet.org

Wow, someone has a pretty inflated sense of self! — PolitiTweet.org

Trump improbably blames Pelosi for failing to prevent the 1/6 insurrection--though he's suggested that he would grant a blanket pardon for all those convicted of participating in it! The folks he called "very special" on the day it all went down. — PolitiTweet.org

Godspeed, @AnaCabrera, on your new journey. I enjoyed our conversations! — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats were stunned to hear that McConnell is "more of a Democrat than a Republican." And as to who has been "an absolute disaster" for the Republicans? Well...🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW, all the other presidents mentioned voluntarily released their tax returns. And why should you HAVE to request something that's already mandatory? — PolitiTweet.org

@RogersParkMan I remember it well. — PolitiTweet.org

Discussing U.S. aid, Zelensky pointedly notes it is "not charity but an investment in global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way." — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Shrewd for Zelensky to weave Iran into the narrative, as he seeks to shore up support in Congress for new and future aid. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

How moving to hear this ovation for Zelensky, fresh from the battlefield, for him and, presumably, the valiant Ukrianian people! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@RepJeffries may not have @SpeakerPelosi's experience. But he does bring a rapier-like ability to communicate which, when you're in the minority, is a pretty valuable tool. Here he sums up the @GOP's current morass pretty deftly. — PolitiTweet.org

One small benefit of this long dreadful siege for Ukraine's courageous wartime leader: no more suits. https://t.co/Wp1RiYa5SD — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The question is, why did the leaders of the IRS balk at auditing Trump when he was POTUS, as required by law? Is there an innocent explanation? Or were they were pressured to stand down? https://t.co/C9qqLc0mKj — PolitiTweet.org

Make that 40-120 in 62! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

For those pleading the case for the long suffering @Mets fans, I was rooting for them when they were 40-122--still the worst record in history. Seven years later, they swept the World Series with a team of young kids and old castoffs. Memories you just can't buy! — PolitiTweet.org

On the #AxeFiles, I asked Dr. Fauci about the pace of school re-openings during the pandemic. "Could we have done that better? Yes, of course...We didn't do it perfectly. Some things we did very well and some things we could have done better." Pod👉https://t.co/AuTfAKGKYQ https://t.co/CcjRIa1CuO — PolitiTweet.org

Recounts should ba automatic if the margin falls within a small, contestable increment. But when candidates or initiatives win by insurmountable margins--in these cases nearly 20 points!--those who demand recounts should pay the FULL cost of conducting them, not taxpayers. — PolitiTweet.org

@danreilly11 @MLB @Mets Ok, what apartment?😉 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@danreilly11 @MLB @Mets Seriously? You did?!? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@MLB installed to try and ensure relative parity in the league by discouraging overspending. The @Mets will pay a tax in '23 that exceeds the entire payrolls of some other clubs. That's how out of whack their spending has become. All I'm saying is, I hope they lose! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As a kid growing up in NYC, I loved the @Mets because they were plucky underdogs. Now they're the team anyone who loves baseball should root against, with a disreputable owner who is so blatantly trying to buy a title that you have to hope he fails. https://t.co/fqrBiZAHzM — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Opponents of early voting and abortion rights demanded hand recounts in MI of two initiatives that passed on 11/7 with overwhelming majorities. A relative handful of votes changed. What a waste of time and money! https://t.co/ik7naB2x9R — PolitiTweet.org

Year end ⁦@HacksOnTap⁩, in which we hand out the coveted Hacky Awards for the best and worst in politics in '22 (Trump excluded because it was too obvious) and look ahead to '23! Hacky holidays to one and all! https://t.co/BIvbI3JpMc — PolitiTweet.org

Best all-around player in the game. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Trump is the only president since Nixon who has refused to release his tax returns. Presidents should be required by law to disclose their full returns. (By the way, that more than his legal liabilties or even bad polls might give Trump pause about running again.) — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Under the compromise budget currently before Congress, Republicans blocked additinal funding for future pandemic preparedness. On the #AxeFiles, Dr. Fauci warns that this omission could put America "behind the eight ball" again. Pod: https://t.co/AuTfAKGKYQ https://t.co/dDtott8WhA — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, Dr. Fauci talks about leaving the NIH this month after half a century. "I have to say, it's bittersweet. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had but I'm also sad about leaving so many people and so many memories." Pod👇 https://t.co/AuTfAKGKYQ https://t.co/FqdmugqM63 — PolitiTweet.org

Given the rebuke of election deniers in the November election, Republicans need to consider how vigorously they want to contest the findings of the 1/6 committee, which were thorough and damning. How many blows do they want to take for Trump? — PolitiTweet.org
