“Whatever else this court may know about, it does not have a clue about how to address climate change,” Kagan wrote. “The court appoints itself — instead of Congress or the expert agency — the decision maker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sat down with @KellyannePolls last week before an audience in Chicago. She says her old boss still genuinely BELIEVES he won the last election. She made clear that she does not.

Too much going on for rhe @HacksOnTap to take off for the Fourth without a few more brews. 1/6 and primary fallout. SCOTUS's hand grenade in the middle of American politics. Pull up a (virtual) stool! https://t.co/vEQg9zNxGY — PolitiTweet.org

Incredible to say but, thanks to the SCOTUS they helped build, the Rs suddenly find themselves on the wrong end of the culture wars. — PolitiTweet.org

If, however, if @POTUS makes the fight to codify privacy rights a priority and CAN persuade 50 to do what they haven't been willing to do before and set aside the fillibuster to do it, it could put some badly-needed wind in his sails. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@POTUS wanted to connote action & strength today but he also set up tests. He endorsed a fillbuster carve out to codify a right to privacy. He reemphasized his support for a gas tax holiday. But can he deliver on those? And if not, does it compound his problems down the line? — PolitiTweet.org

The @POTUS's challenge is that, meritorious as his leadership has been on Ukraine and NATO, these are not the kitchen table issues driving American politics. — PolitiTweet.org

"(Putin) wanted the Finlandazation of NATO. Instead he got the NATOazation of Finland." — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It's obvious how comfortable @POTUS feels on global terrain, as he takes a victory lap over the U.S.-led the fortification of NATO and the Atlantic Alliance. A chance to tout action and leadership he badly needs. — PolitiTweet.org

How divided are we as we enter Independence Day weekend? A new poll from @UChiPolitics shines a light on the white hot-and increasingly dangerous-fissures between Red and Blue in America. https://t.co/QCvts9kdR0 — PolitiTweet.org

Trumpworld is flailing,as you'd expect, against Cassidy Hutchinson and all the others who have come forward. But you have to ask yourself this: Would she & other Trump appointees have subjected themselves to this predictable firestorm to lie under oath? It's just not plausible. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Recorded @HacksOnTap w/the brilliant @SarahLongwell25 of @BulwarkOnline yesterday BEFORE the bombshell hearing and primaries. Lots of good stuff. But @murphymike, @Robt_Gibbs and I will be back tomorrow for a breof addenda to ponder yesterday's events. https://t.co/YaMDeNg6x7 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I've no doubt Trump's been damaged by the mind-boggling and horrific 1/6 revelations, but he still has juice with his base. (See yesteday's IL primaries.) If you believe the lie that the election was stolen, you may also believe that almost anything was justifiable in response. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is good news. A stone cold election denier, under indictment for tampering with voting equipment, goes down hard in the @GOP primary for CO Sec of State. https://t.co/urqw7v7ImM — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the latest: By a 5-3 vote, the SCOTUS decided that the clock on the wall of its chambers will now run backwards. The chief wrote a separate opinion, arguing that it should simply stand still. https://t.co/H1C0cnbCET — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepLizCheney's description at the end of today's hearings of the intimidation of potential witnesses sounded like it was ripped right out of the Godfather! Which makes Ms. Hutchinson's testimony all the more impressive and laudable. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The references to the foreknowledge of likely violence and Meadows contacts with the Stone-Rudy-Flynn "command center" tightens the connection between the WH and the indicted seditious conspirators. No wonder these guys wanted pardons! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It's really hard to reconcile today's stunning testimony with the fact that-as of this morning, at least, this man is the frontrunner for the @GOP nomination in '24- He violated his oath, flouted our laws and knowingly endangered lives. The portrait today was of a man unhinged. — PolitiTweet.org

My God, this is devatating! Trump wrestling with his detail to try and get control of his limo to go to join the mob at the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

In cartoons, Bugs Bunny rolls out a canon, lights the fuse, covers his ears and, with much anticipation, a flag pops out of the barrel that says "Pop." This is what the 1/6 committee wants to avoid today. Deft as they've been, you have to believe they will. — PolitiTweet.org
