I found this revealing. On #AxeFiles, @KellyannePolls spoke about the meeting in '16 at which Trump offered her the campaign manager job. She insisted as a condition on always calling him "Mr. Trump," not "Donald," she says. His reply? "Ok, Honey." Pod👉https://t.co/JaNGEU9C3j https://t.co/KYYrK2rdvD — PolitiTweet.org

We are killing OURSELVES under the banner of freedom. Well how about the freedom to safely attend a July 4th parade w/your family? How about the freedom of a child to attend school or play in a park without fear of being shot? Why do we allow these weapons of war on our streets? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

At the very least, can't we take further steps to keep maniacs like the Highland Park shooter from raining bullets down on crowds of people at a July 4th parade, or innocent kids in classrooms or shoppers at local grocery stores. THIS IS MADNESS. — PolitiTweet.org

Do you really believe that we would have FEWER gun-related deaths if we just had MORE guns on our streets? The U.S. already has nearly HALF of the privately-owned guns in the world--and, not surprisingly, exponentially more gun-related death than other, industrialized countries. — PolitiTweet.org

A friend took his kids to July 4th Parade in Highland Park today. His son has special needs. When shots rang out, they ran for their lives, the dad pushing his grown son's wheelchair--which at one point tumbled over. On America's day, what has become a sickeningly American story. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

When she was 3, @kellyannepolls's dad left her mom for another woman and child. KAC didn't see him again until she was 12--though he lived just two towns away. On #AxeFiles she spoke about this, and the impact it had in shaping her. Pod👉https://t.co/JaNGEU9C3j https://t.co/Ox8nHpc7MK — PolitiTweet.org

.@RonDeSantisFL has done a hell of a job establishing himself as THE culture war Bully Boy, becoming the top Trump @GOP alternative for '24. But first he has to win relection in '22. He's raised $100 million. The political climate is favorable. He should roll. But WILL he?🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

As the son of a refugee who fled tyranny, I'm a proud and grateful American. But to love our country is not to deny its challenges or imperfections. It's to address them, openly and honestly. The ongoing work of perfecting our union is what patriotism demands. https://t.co/SILrdVDMIw — PolitiTweet.org

Can you imagine how much fun @GavinNewsom's team had plotting out this one, knowing that it would get politicos talkig from coast-to-coast about what it means?!? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Even as he lost nationally by seven million votes, Trump won more than 80 percent of the nation's counties, mostly in small town and rural America. The lack of D competiveness in those areas has given extra leverage to minority-held views. via @NYTimes https://t.co/j8xSdDvRzK — PolitiTweet.org

One thing @KellyannePolls made abundantly clear in our #AxeFiles conversation: There's one person she blames above all others for Trump's defeat--and it's not Trump! (Hint: This guy's super tight w/the Saudis and has kids who are RELATED to Trump.) Pod👉https://t.co/JaNGEU9C3j https://t.co/cNb50cT6RN — PolitiTweet.org

One thing this should make abundantly clear for those who haven't been playing right along: legislative races matter, now more than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If you're one who loves gerrymandering, you'll probably cheer when the SCOTUS next year hands partisan state legislatures unbridled authority over elections, with no review by governors or state courts. If you love democracy, you should be deeply alarmed. https://t.co/nbh8xEy16j — PolitiTweet.org

On #AxeFiles, @KellyannePolls says Trump & campaign in '20 made a decisive mistake, in the midst of COVID, by demonizing mail-in ballots instead of organIzing @GOP voters to use them. Pod👉https://t.co/JaNGEU9C3j https://t.co/RmZWEozxpM — PolitiTweet.org

Note to Dems who game @GOP primaries to nominate right wingers they deem beatable. Proceed with caution! After all, how many Dems cheered Trump's nomination in 2016, convinced that the reality show star would be a dead bang loser in the fall? https://t.co/r1Ai8lxRgc — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting observations from @KellyannePolls about @RonDeSantisFL, currently the IT guy in the @GOP. "One big test for Governor DeSantis is, does he like to mix it up with the people as much as he likes to be in his press conferences?" #AxeFiles pod👉https://t.co/JaNGEU9C3j https://t.co/oJ33A8gToR — PolitiTweet.org

To state the obvious, it's dangerous to a democracy when the nation's highest court acts as a cudgel for a political agenda that blatantly and serially thwarts majority views. — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder if Justice Jackson had a good news/bad news feeling on her historic day? Like you just got a long-coveted reservation at a fine restaurant, only to discover the great chef left and the food suddenly is indigestible. https://t.co/RWTsyiW8CI — PolitiTweet.org
