This subpoena of Trump is a justified but, almost certainly, symbolic act. He will resist. The subpoena likely will die with the end of this Congress. But a dramatic coda to these public hearings. — PolitiTweet.org

Two most damning parts of this session: Heretofore unseen USSS material, making clear the magnitude of their concern and real-time awareness, And previous seen but damning footage of Stone and Bannon BEFORE election of plan to deny and resist the results. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's bad day just got worse. https://t.co/JRxHFBNKqE — PolitiTweet.org

Impossible to believe that the USSS didn't convey Intel about 1/6 threats to Meadows. And that Meadows didn't convey them to Trump. Meadows was in the middle of everything--as the DOJ undoubtedly knows. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I'm no lawyer (Not bragging. Just a fact.) But this testimony about Trump knowing that the election was lost is compelling yet not necessarily enough in a court of law. Wouldn't he simply say that despite everything he was told, "I believed I won then and still believe it?" — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Complete aside. When people in public life lose as much weight as @mikepompeo has, they're running for something. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump asks Meadows to speak to Stone and Flynn on eve of the insurrection. Always one step removed. A lifetime of practice. — PolitiTweet.org

"If Biden is winning, Trump is going to do some crazy shit," Bannon, says days before the election. Clairvoyant? — PolitiTweet.org

"Our nation cannot simply punish the foot soldiers who carried out the insurrection," Cheney says, placing the responsibility squarely on Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

"Much has happened since we last met," says @RepLizCheney. One was that she lost her primary in WY, the price Cheney knowingly & unflinchingly paid for calling Trump to account for propagating phony fraud claims and instigating the 1/6 insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, former @BarackObama speechwriter @CodyKeenan--author of a terrific new book, GRACE--describes how Obama's stirring 2015 eulogy for victims of the Mother Emanuel church massacre came together in the midst of a frenzied, historic week.

As the 1/6 committee reconvenes, the insurrection and his role in it have, in some ways, has been superseded by reporting on the Mar-a-Lago documents probe. But his wanton disregard for rules, norms, laws & institutions is the thread-and threat-that runs thoughout. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As a law student, @DougJones, introduced a young Sen. JoeBiden at a law school event. That began a 40-yr friendship. On #AxeFiles, I asked about Biden and '24. "It's going to be a a difficult call for him. It's not like a normal run for reelection." https://t.co/0DMsaLe8BG https://t.co/Lq4OF8uSZN — PolitiTweet.org

An extraordinary judgement against Alex Jones for the extraordinarily cruel and cynical hoax he perpetrated at the expense of the Sandy Hook survivors. https://t.co/zBiSFnIewz — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Excited that my brilliant friend and colleague @secupp is leading a program @UChiPolitics tonight--From Muskets to M16s: America’s Unique Relationship to Guns. An important discussion on a hugely important topic. Guaranteed to be worth your time. https://t.co/I93lxx0zkH — PolitiTweet.org

Hooray! I am so thrilled that former Sen. @HeidiHeitkamp will succeed me as director of @UChiPolitics!! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the #AxeFiles, @DougJones tells a moving story about the night @BarackObama was elected in 2008, a celebration in Birmingham and the unlikely celebrant who turned up there: George Wallace's old press secretary. "Those things mean so much." Pod👉https://t.co/0DMsaKX5zG https://t.co/cEuUqljmOg — PolitiTweet.org

I agree w/⁦@BernieSanders on this⁩: Abortion is an extraordinarily important issue that has galvanIzed many voters and shaken up the midterms. But it isn't the ONLY issue. And Democrats who are relying on it as a silver bullet may come up short. https://t.co/oTB2AenS71 — PolitiTweet.org

Correction: Rallythis weekend was in Arizona, not Albama! Typing too fast. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And as if on cue, Jones's 2020 opponent, Senator Tommy Tuberville underscored the point with a full-throated, racist tirade, to the delight of many in the crowd at at a Trump rally in Alabama this weekend. https://t.co/HgLd3XL1Aj — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

GRACE by @codykeenan, former chief speechwriter for @BarackObama, is one of the most inspiring and delightful books I've read this year. It went on sale today and I'll be talking w/him about it live @UChiPolitics at 5:15 central tonight! Register here👉https://t.co/auYX9DrMaQ — PolitiTweet.org

I grew up in NYC rooting for the @Mets but that was when they were plucky underdogs. It's always good to see teams with the gaudiest payrolls and most ostentatious owners spin off the track. Bye, bye, Mets. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As a federal prosecutor, @DougJones helped bring church-bombing Klansmen & the Olympic Park bomber to justice. On #AxeFiles, he warns of the "rise of the white nationalist fervor & hate crimes across the country," and says Trump has stoked those flames. https://t.co/0DMsaLe8BG https://t.co/BLpgjkusnY — PolitiTweet.org

Classic move whereby a candidate weaponizes and exploits division by issuing a statement decrying division. — PolitiTweet.org

This really goes to the core of it. The Great Replacement Theory that animates so much of the Trumpian right, distilled by perhaps its nosiest and most authentic proponent. (Sorry, Tucker.) — PolitiTweet.org

The more trouble Herschel Walker gets himself into, the more national Rs are rallying behind him. That's how essential they see GA to their prospects of taking the senate. https://t.co/25sLSZaAF6 — PolitiTweet.org
