Think about Trump is he's not subtle. Here he's signaling the play for his next run-control the vote counters and you control the election. — PolitiTweet.org

Listen to thie clip below from the latest #AxeFiles w/@bartongellman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer for @TheAtlantic. It's a parable about what can happen when we fail to take the threat of political violence seriously. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As a Jersusalem correspondent, @bartongellman covered the '95 assassination of Israeli PM Rabin. On #AxeFiles, he recalls the hints of political violence that preceded it from right-wing extremists-including an interview he did w/the future assassin.

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the #AxeFiles, journalist @bartongellman offers a unexpected & disturbing profile of the 1/6 insurrectionists. "They're middle class, employed, educated, white collar; many are business owners. Only one in seven are affiliated with an extremist group." https://t.co/xdsEqCFnEj https://t.co/UmZh0kwH7L — PolitiTweet.org

If the filibuster is the antidote for the "disease of division," as Sen. Sinema suggests, why do we have such a badly-divided senate? The truth is, the filbuster has become a cudgel for extreme partisanship, not the solution to it. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If the fillibuster is the anitidote to "the disease of division," as Sen. Sinema says, why is the senate so deeply divided? The truth is, the fillibuster has become the cudgel for extreme partisanship. — PolitiTweet.org

"It was remarkable to see the embrace of the Democratic establishment for a guy who had been truly the villain in their narrative of the world for so many years."

Wonder if lunch with Senate Dems today goes down better for @POTUS than the appetizer ⁦@kyrstensinema⁩ served up just before he arrived? https://t.co/Mal74168o7 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He's penetrated the veil of secrecy to break huge stories-on Iraq WMD & NSA spying files. He forecast BEFORE '20 election Trump's scheme to resist & his new reporting in is even MORE chilling for democracy! The #AxeFiles w/@bartongellman of @TheAtlantic. https://t.co/xdsEqCFnEj — PolitiTweet.org

If you're in a car and its picking up and you're headed for a cliff, wouldn't you hit the brakes and turn the wheel? What are we doing here, folks? https://t.co/f2ZOgIVIGX — PolitiTweet.org

This is an important point⁩. While the moves to restrict voter access based on a lie are deeply offensive to our democratic values, the specter that legal ballots might simply be tossed aside by partisan election officials is Code Red for democracy. https://t.co/oK3eIJhO71 — PolitiTweet.org

"Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan? Do they believe the things they say? I think at this point they probably do through the sheer force of repetition & by immersing themselves in an alternative propaganda system." @RepRaskin on #AxeFiles: https://t.co/0se9ET0hNK https://t.co/gNjsrq1SQV — PolitiTweet.org

Fauci has been a constant target for two years, simply for doing his job, which is to try and save lives. And for that, he and his family have had THEIR lives put at risk. Who can blame him for blowing off steam at politicians who have encouraged all that? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@danpfeiffer raises an important question. Trump was dragged, kicking and screaming from social media. Now, as he plots his return, will that banishment prove a key to his revival? @danpfeiffer https://t.co/dwLtDDgWoo — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Thanks, @JLester34! You were the key to the transformation of the @Cubs from perennial losers to World Series champs. Already a Hall of Famer in Chicago's book! https://t.co/ls2h8i5Zc4 — PolitiTweet.org

Joltin' @JoeBiden comes our swinging on democracy and voting rights. In the Trump tradition, @GOPLeader, promises reprisals against House Ds if Rs take over next year. Two big pieces of '22 senate picture fill in. W/@ASDem on board, @HacksOnTap are back! https://t.co/H80bUaZADL — PolitiTweet.org

Would those Republicans who resist federal voting rights legislation now on the grounds that it would "federalize" elections also have done so in 1965, when the original Voting Rights Act was passed? — PolitiTweet.org

Once he, himself, was a young, restless activist, so it's interesting to hear @RepRaskin on #AxeFiles speak about new gen progressives.

.@RepRaskin, once a restless, young activist, speaks w/mix of admiration & admonition of new gen House members. "I see in my younger colleagues like AOC a great sense of urgency. But they also still have a lot to learn from those of us who are older." Pod👉https://t.co/0se9EThTck — PolitiTweet.org

Reforming the Electoral Count Act of 1887, and closing the loopholes and ambiguities Trump tried to exploit to overturn a free and fair election, is mandatory but not sufficient. https://t.co/wecsO7KWTW — PolitiTweet.org

When @RepRaskin first ran in '06, he took on an entrenched incumbent for the MD senate. On #AxeFiles, he fondly recalled the disarming question his son, Tommy, then 11, asked a local pol who warned against "taking on the machine."

It's a measure of how much the @chicagobulls have grown that it's kind of a shock when they lose a game, as they did tonight to the @dallasmavs--after winning 9 straight!! — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's Big Lie not only spawned an insurectiom but has become the predicate for a wave of measures across the country to restrict voting and undermine the integrity of the electoral system. This is his dark legacy...and his comeback scenario. — PolitiTweet.org

"It was a very scary thing for a 5 or 6 year old kid. I asked our doctor, Did you know that my dad was arrested (and) might go to jail? Then I asked him, was my dad a good guy or a bad guy? And he said, 'Your dad is is the best that we got, kid.'" Rep. Raskin on #AxeFiles. — PolitiTweet.org

How do we measure the long haul effects on young people of all the missed days in the classroom? It surely will be one of the many terrible legacies of COVID. — PolitiTweet.org
