The thumping of this voter initiative, designed to thwart the will of the majority in SD, clears the way for a simple up or down vote in November over whether the state will expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act to cover more low income workers. https://t.co/t3pEAXuDj1 — PolitiTweet.org

As Californians meet to vote, and the congressional playing field clariifies, we called in the incomparable @Redistrict, Dave Wasserman of @CookPolitical, to join us on an all new @HacksOnTap! https://t.co/RLxVNCNFBn — PolitiTweet.org

If I were a member of the 1/6 committee, stories like these, casting the hearings as a political cudgel, would make me very unhappy. Conversely, Rs, who hope to dismiss damning findings as partisan, will seize on them. Let facts speak for themselves. https://t.co/akQ827sAPD — PolitiTweet.org

My old Obama WH aide @EricLesser, now a state senator from western MA & a candidate for lieutenant governor, posted this. For eight years, he's fought to connect MA. But his vision for high speed rail to link the Boston area with to rest of the state is about so much more. — PolitiTweet.org

Two noteworthy anniversaries today: D-Day in '44, when American and Allied heroes struck a decisive blow against Hitler. And the death in '68 of Robert F. Kennedy, whose assassination changed the course of history--and not for the better. https://t.co/GyeMzpoYN1 — PolitiTweet.org

An honor to have my #AxeFiles podcast w/@GovRicketts noted favorably by Don Walton, the venerable dean of Nebraska's political press corps! https://t.co/CAeCxME87H — PolitiTweet.org

This peculiar argument that gun safety laws won't work because criminals will just break them...Couldn't you make that argument against ANY law?!? — PolitiTweet.org

On #AxeFiles, @GovRicketts says divisions we face today pale in comparison to the past. "You know, Alexander Hamilton & (Aaron) Burr...had a duel. Hamilton dies because of it. Like, at least nobody's dying right now, right?" Pod👉https://t.co/1Rh02XclFU https://t.co/YBGqjBTCrq — PolitiTweet.org

On abortion, @GovRicketts says his views are informed by his faith. Yet he also campaigned for the death penalty, a practice Pope Francis's encyclical called "an attack on the inviolability & dignity of the person."On #AxeFiles, I asked him about it.

One of the highlights of my childhood in NYC were the Amazin' ⁦@Mets⁩ and the miraculous title they won in '69. Gil Hodges, their manager, was the solid oak tree in the middle of it all. A strong leader who never called attention to himself. https://t.co/fzC0OxaAm7 — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone will be watching for evidence of culpability when the 1/6 hearings begin next week, and the story of how/why it happened is essential. But 1/6 wasn't a one off. The more significant learnings may be about the continued, perhaps growing, threats to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

This is really sad. A @GOP Rep from the Buffalo-area, scene of one of the recent, gruesome mass shootings, entertains an assault weapons ban, and is promptly excommunicated by the party and driven from office. https://t.co/90mldgJ6I4 — PolitiTweet.org

Within days, SCOTUS may return the issue of abortion to the states. On #AxeFiles, I spoke w/@GovRicketts about his support for a no-exceptions ban on abortion in Nebraska and what he would tell a daughter if she were the victim of rape. (Clip below.)

This is so important to understand. To many gun rights advocates, it's not about sport or defending themselves against criminals. They believe the framers guaranteed the right to bear arms as a hedge against tyranny, so citizens can take up arms against overweaning government. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On new #AxeFiles, I had a revealing exchange w/@GovRicketts on guns. I asked about whether he felt citizens needed to be armed as a hedge against gov tyranny. "Our rights came to us from God & our 2d Amendment right is there to protect that," he said. Pod👉https://t.co/1Rh02XclFU https://t.co/DYTc5vm5vB — PolitiTweet.org

Sexual assault and physical abuse are deadly serious issues. But the celebrity spectacle surrounding the Johnny-Amber legal circus is nauseating. Like we're all trapped in the check out line at the supermarket, left to stare at trashy magazines. — PolitiTweet.org
