One footnote: Fauci did some fancy footwork in answer to a question about @RonDeSantisFL bizarre assertion that he may reopen Florida’a schools because, he says, COVID-19 doesn’t affect people under 25. This is the governor of our fourth largest state. — PolitiTweet.org

Having tuned in to hear about the COVID-19 crisis that is ravaging the nation, I’m signing off for now. — PolitiTweet.org

This WHO defunding riff is center cut @realDonaldTrump . Pure campaign stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

I’d be eager to hear Birx and Fauci on the value and importance of the WHO. — PolitiTweet.org

Question: Aren’t the states with a small number of cases exactly where you WILL need testing so you can contain rather than mitigate? — PolitiTweet.org

That was a reassuring answer from the @POTUS about not lifting the stay and home recommendations until the health situation dictates. I hope he will be guided by the health experts on that decision. He’s right. It would be disastrous to do otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“We’re leading the world in testing,” the @POTUS insists again today. Not true. When adjusted for population, the U.S. is not even top ten. We were behind and we the experts keep reminding us, we have to continue to rapidly increase our testing capacity. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Fauci and Birx deserve enormous credit for managing this epic crisis and a mercurial, erratic president at the same time. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is what I’m talking about. The @POTUS ad libs a big self-congratulations about the stock market gains this week. He may think he is “cheerleading” but it’s off key, given the suffering out there. Especially because the cheerleading so often seems like it’s for HIM. — PolitiTweet.org

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

Dan Wagner, an old friend and @BarackObama campaign analytics wiz, has written this compelling plea to leverage data to help swiftly and proactively address the needs the COVID-19 crisis has created. https://t.co/trS3muFp76 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This crisis has exposed our economy, heath care system and social safety net to a withering X-ray. The question is how and if, when it ends, we address what we’ve learned. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I wonder if the @POTUS will take the advice of his allies and recognize that “ratings through the roof” don’t necessarily help him in this case if people don’t like what they see. Less is more, Mr. President. Let the experts speak. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump repeated claims of vote fraud are flagrantly fraudulent. At first, they were a means of explaining why he lost the last general election vote by three million. Now they appear to be a prelude to impeding voting in THIS election. https://t.co/bqPTlLLAYv — PolitiTweet.org

These scenes of massive lines waiting for food are absolutely searing. If you have the means, please send anything you can to your local food bank. https://t.co/I9cgK38jOS — PolitiTweet.org

RT @gelliottmorris: Last month's Fox News poll was +9 Dem & +9 Biden. The one out today is even on party ID... & even on the ballot test. C… — PolitiTweet.org

Pervasive testing is not a “nice thing to do” before opening up the country. It is, according to public health experts, an absolute requirement to prevent a resurgence of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Not even remotely true in the states that have implemented mail-in balloting. — PolitiTweet.org

In another of my favorite #AxeFiles, here’s a revealing ‘17 convo w/@TomHanks. He spoke about his rootless childhood & the sense of belonging & exhilaration he found in theater. We talked film, history & more. Such an interesting guy! Full Pod here👇 https://t.co/oZMsoGhyTk https://t.co/gHoDHeoXVL — PolitiTweet.org

The @VP’s tenor and message is so different than that of the @POTUS in its sobriety. — PolitiTweet.org

The @POTUS says he knows vote by mail is rife with fraud and the evidence of it is forthcoming. Not even close to true. — PolitiTweet.org

And yes, @JoeBiden can and, I suspect, will help @BernieSanders make an affirmative case by embracing the principles some ideas that Sanders and other progressives have advanced. Sanders can’t ordain that his supporters fall in line. He and Biden will have to persuade them — PolitiTweet.org
