As the numbers of cases and casualties continue to climb, the @POTUS is tweeting about another set of numbers: His TV ratings. — PolitiTweet.org

The COVID-19 siege is, in part, a function of the failure to anticipate it in a timely way and plan accordingly. We know there’s election in Nov. We still may be battling the virus. As @AlHuntDC writes here, the planning should begin NOW. https://t.co/zvwC82rE0m @BrennanCenter — PolitiTweet.org

Shortly before he retired, Mr. Coburn said of Mr. Obama: “I think he’s a neat man. You don’t have to be the same to be friends. Matter of fact, the interesting friendships are the ones that are divergent.” Amen to that! RIP, Senator Coburn. https://t.co/bLLtvhTytm — PolitiTweet.org

Everything in @realDonaldTrump’s world has to be read upside down. His beef is not with fake news. It’s with facts he finds inconvenient, like when he testily chided the media for six weeks for suggesting that COVID-19 represented a broad threat—an assertion he deemed a “hoax.” — PolitiTweet.org

This essay by @edyong209 of @TheAtlantic is the most coherent, informative piece I’ve read on the pandemic. It gives a clear picture of how we got here, the paths COVID-19 may may take and how it may reshape our future. I really urge you to read it. https://t.co/g0EN3LcZEr — PolitiTweet.org

This would be for those who GET checks rather than the majority who will receive direct deposits. He may not be able to solve that barrier to self-promotion. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The @WSJ reporting today that , not surprisingly, @realDonaldTrump is planning to break with precedent and personally sign the relief checks, just so people know that HE sent them the cash. Once a promoter, always a promoter. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Last night’s @CNN Town Hall w/@JoeBiden was a study in contrasts from the @POTUS presser earlier on the day. Biden’s experience in crisis management and genuine empathy, both of which I witnessed in the WH, were on full display. — PolitiTweet.org

As @realDonaldTrump continues to prattle on at his nightly rally about what a terrific job he’s doing, America clears 100,000 diagnosed COVID-19 cases-tops in the world and rapidly climbing. Why are we wasting so much time on tedious, shameless self-promotion? — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, he scornfully insisted we didn’t need all the ventilators governors were desperately requesting. Today, he (finally and properly) invokes the Defense Production Act to compel the emergency manufacture of ventilators. If you have whiplash, join the club! — PolitiTweet.org

Longtime @JoeBiden spox and operative and Boston political legend @LarryRasky, who died suddenly over the weekend, tested positive for COVID-19. Colleagues say he was characteristically vibrant on a call Friday. He died early Sunday. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The whole point, of course, is to be PREPARED. If the @POTUS is right and public health experts are wrong, than we will have a surplus of ventilators. But waiting to find out if his hunch is better than the science will mean the NEEDLESS loss of life. — PolitiTweet.org

The whole point, of course, is to be PREPARED. If the @POTUS is right and public health experts are wrong, than we will have a surplus of ventilators. But waiting to find out if his hunch is better than the science will mean the endless loss of life. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Is @realDonaldTrump making a political calculation that the map of “low risk” counties suitable for early “opening” will translate into small, rural areas that form his base, as opposed to “high risk” counties in mostly urban areas. Stupid bet. Pandemics can’t read maps. — PolitiTweet.org
