“Trump would never try to do that” is one view, but I just wonder how many super savvy and chill pundits said the same thing about, well, everything else. Of course I understand the law, but where it is less clear, he is less constrained, and we should assume the worst. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ChrisMurphyCT: Mark Kelly is building an operation that will help Biden win Arizona too. Make a donation tonight and you get a two-fer. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

Guys, we can win Arizona but Mitch McConnell’s superpac is going all in with spending trying to distort what Astronaut, veteran and gun safety advocate Mark Kelly stands for. Can you help him to fight back? https://t.co/AunGtSDiDn — PolitiTweet.org

This is going to sound like an exaggeration but it is literally true that instead of funding testing and food and rent and schools and preventing layoffs and evictions republicans proposed a full write-off for the three martini lunch and more money for the F-35. — PolitiTweet.org

The President doesn’t have the authority to file a bill in the Senate. This is the work of Senate Republicans. It’s a bit too cute by half to disavow it. It is quite literally their bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Cool tone change. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

If you wrote that the President changed his tone last week it is important to say whether you think you were duped or that is still true. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

For Hawaii: 28 cases today, which sounds good but it’s only half of the testing we normally have, so we should expect some eye popping numbers when the remainder of these pending tests get added into a subsequent daily total. Positivity rate is what we should all track. — PolitiTweet.org

Slavery was an evil and not a necessary one. Police don’t need tanks. The Republicans have not been legislating on Covid for 2 months. The President never, ever changes his tone. In the middle of a pandemic republicans are suing to take away your health care. Nazis are bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Magnificent new tone - Just very statesmanlike and understanding the gravity and his aides must’ve talked to him and this seems like a turning point and today he became president and — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

They have waited more than two months to even start the legislative process on COVID relief. No hearings, no votes. Leader Mcconnell specifically said they felt no sense of urgency last month. And then they took an extra week to negotiate with themselves. They are botching this. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not trying to pretend to be some sort of legislative mastermind but we don’t have to negotiate with people who are going to vote against the bill no matter what. — PolitiTweet.org
