I spoke w/@JDVance1 in '17 for #AxeFiles. Went back & re-listened today. Stunning how thoughtful & nuanced he was--in contrast to clenched-fist, Trumpian tone he's striking as candidate today. He even had kind words for the Obamas! The full pod is here👇 https://t.co/Lan7lHE1Mj — PolitiTweet.org

One or the mysteries of Ukraine is how Putin could have miscalculated so badly. Fmr Amb. @McFaul offers an answer on #AxeFiles: Longevity! "What happens to anybody in power that long-but especially autocrats-is they stop listening to their advisors." Pod👉https://t.co/MoXs7nW18f https://t.co/787tlHSF4a — PolitiTweet.org

Depression is an illness, as Naomi Judd so powerfully discussed. That she lost her battle w/mental illness makes her message even more poignant & meaningful. If you find yourself in that long, dark tunnel, please call the Suicide Lifeline. 800-273-8255! https://t.co/huZunQ2cYS — PolitiTweet.org

"Is Trump a Kingmaker?" meme is a little misleading. Even the vast majority of those who Trump HASN'T endorsed are at least his vassals, swearing allegiance to him. The Q is, how many Rs who part with Trump & his fraudulent election claim win primaries? https://t.co/Z1uc8Slosr — PolitiTweet.org

One sign of Putin's worries is his crackdown on independent sources of news and information in Russia. "Maybe Putin's not as secure at home as as sometimes we are led to believe," says Ambassdor @McFaul on the #AxeFiles. Pod👇https://t.co/wEeNB39p8V… https://t.co/5Rvllynu3P — PolitiTweet.org

"I was talking to (someone) who works for Zelensky, about whether he should go to Lviv, maybe go to Poland...because it would be horrible if he was killed...At end of it, my friend said, 'Mike, he's not going anywhere. He's decided this is his moment; this is his fate.'" — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If you don't think leadership matters, just look to Ukraine. On #AxeFiles, former U.S. Ambassador Mike @McFaul discusses the power of Zelensky's courageous example. "That HE stayed meant they all had to stay and fight. They're inspired by Zelensky." Pod👉https://t.co/MoXs7nW18f https://t.co/OwThWQedd6 — PolitiTweet.org

I was quoted today mocking the self-reverential nature of the annual WHCA dinner. It was a flippant aside en route to answering a completely different Q. I should add that I've attended many of these, worked on POTUS jokes & enjoyed the fellowship--if not the faux-Oscars vibe! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I had a terrific #AxeFiles conversation about Putin, Zelensky & the tragic war in Ukraine w/an okd friend, U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael @McFaul, whose advocacy for democracy & civil society there has made him a Kremlin target.

I love my @chicagobulls but they are painfully outmanned tonight in what is almost certainly a series-ending game. At this point, it's a mercy killing, @Bucks-@celtics should be a hell of matchup! — PolitiTweet.org

"Everybody's going to talk about voter suppression and the new voting laws.

If the @GOPLeader McCarthy captured on tape in private conversations were the @GOPLeader we see in public, McCarthy would be a more admirable politician. What he wouldn't be, however, is @GOPLeader! That's the choice he made. https://t.co/FlLnzQeVrM — PolitiTweet.org
