On @HacksOnTap, @murphymike & super guest hack @alfranken joined me to talk the voting rights battle; CPAC’s Fantasy Island; NY mayoral message for Dems; AND the dangerous anti-vax hypocrites at Fox. Pod👉 https://t.co/oYlXVtXeXz https://t.co/M8GZx45onQ — PolitiTweet.org

This guy may lose his @RNC membership card. But he’ll have something Rudy and other false conspiracy peddlers who polluted our courts won’t: Licenses to practice law! https://t.co/rOJBwZFFlD — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, @brhodes makes an urgent plea to make democracy our top priority, at home & abroad. “You can make a lot of money & develop a lot of new technology & have national security w/out democracy. It just looks like China,” he said. Pod👉https://t.co/eLJTGumukS https://t.co/CpUTXOeX7V — PolitiTweet.org

Wherever you stand on abortion rights, this TX law should seem utterly insane. https://t.co/3VBapaLubZ — PolitiTweet.org

The greatest obstacles we face in conquering a virus that has cost more than 600,000 American lives are infotainment stars who would kill for ratings and pols who misleadingly pander for power. https://t.co/BeRJ38vFCJ — PolitiTweet.org

Is it possible, @brianstelter, that Tucker meant that as a COMPLIMENT? He seems to gravitate to loathsome characters. — PolitiTweet.org

.@TonyLaRussa, 76, won his first of four Manager-of-the-Year awards in 1983, before any of his current @whitesoxplayers were born. Now, having managed a lineup beset by injuries to star players, he still has team 8 games in front at the All-Star break. https://t.co/EuDvleqRa8 — PolitiTweet.org

I knew @RepRonnyJackson when he was a WH physician for @BarackObama. For the life of me, I don’t know what happened this guy. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, @brhodes talks about his conversation w/Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny before he was poisoned and jailed, and Navalny’s insights into Putin and Trump. “What Putin wanted to do is turn America into its worst version of itself.” Pod👉 https://t.co/eLJTGumukS https://t.co/amC0Fba4ZT — PolitiTweet.org

On the #AxeFiles, I sat down w/old friend & @BarackObama adviser, @brhodes, author of After the Fall: Being American in the World We Made. We talked about lots, including the gap between our stated values & U.S. policies when it comes to human rights. https://t.co/eLJTGuE5cq https://t.co/euZob9deh8 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Couldn’t agree more! But that isn’t relevant to the place where my daughter lives. I’d no sooner judge EVERY larger setting by the deficiencies of some than I would ALL small group homes by incidents of abuse & neglect reported in some. We need a range of high quality choices! — PolitiTweet.org

Sad to see Jake Arrieta, who gave the @Cubs some great years, stumble again through 1 2/3 innings and seven runs. Done for the night. https://t.co/0HYFh9rEFk — PolitiTweet.org

In the end, this is core Trump: No sense of right or wrong. Flouting of rules, norms and laws, which be believes are for suckers. It’s how he’s run his businesses. It’s how he ran the U.S. government. That’s catastrophic for a democracy. https://t.co/h6DVbp8imx — PolitiTweet.org

America the Beautiful evolved from a poem by Katherine Lee Bates. It was written in 19th Century, in the midst of the Gilded Age, to call the nation to its higher ideals: “America! America! God shed His grace on thee Till selfish gain no longer stain, The banner of the free!” — PolitiTweet.org

On this Independence Day, let us do more than enjoy good food, company and fireworks. Let’s value our democracy and recommit to preserving and strengthening it. And remember those around the world struggling to win what we have. Like @nathanlawkc & the people of Hong Kong! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, @nathanlawkc talks about the “survivor’s gullt” he feels because he’s living in exile while allies in Hong Kong are in prison. “Grieving…doesn't help,” he says. But prodding “the world to adopt a more assertive approach to China” does! Pod👉https://t.co/IjdQS8Kn3Y https://t.co/exond0NggF — PolitiTweet.org

I hope you will read this piece I wrote about my heroic daughter, Lauren. People with intellectual disabilities should not be handed a one-size-fits-all formula about how they live their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Kohl also owned the @Bucks when they raised eyebrows by drafting a teenager from Greece, @Giannis_An34–now a two-time MVP-AND when they picked a young player discarded by the @DetroitPistons, @Khris22m, now an All-Star pillar of the team. — PolitiTweet.org

Sad to see the great Marv Albert sign off for the last time tonight on @NBAonTNT at the end of the Eastern Conference Finals. I grew up listening to him call @nyknicks games. His “Yes, and it counts!” when a player scored and was fouled is part of my classic sports soundtrack. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But great to see the @Bucks in the Finals for the first time in 47 years! And a shout out to former owner and U.S. Senator Herb Kohl, who TWICE saved the team for his beloved Milwaukee-when he bought the team and when he sold it. — PolitiTweet.org

In upholding AZ’s restrictive voting laws, Justice Alito said strictures the state imposed would “improve voter confidence” about the integrity of elections. I guess the idea is: if you lie about the integrity of elections you can then pass suppressive laws to reassure people. — PolitiTweet.org

At 23, democracy activist @nathanlawkc won a stunning race for Hong Kong council. But authorities quickly stripped him of his post and jailed him for leading protests. “Just in the month, I was degraded from ‘an honorable legislator’ to inmate.” #AxeFiles: https://t.co/IjdQS8Kn3Y https://t.co/fn0jZ5jaLL — PolitiTweet.org

I hope the incompetence of the NYC Board of Elections doesn’t detract from interest in the ranked choice voting experiment, which has real promise. — PolitiTweet.org
