The Senate has confirmed 200 of President Trump’s nominees to lifetime appointments on the federal bench. With today's confirmation, not a single circuit court vacancy exists anywhere in the nation for the first time in at least 40 years. https://t.co/BvIEuJ62l7 — PolitiTweet.org

“Equal protection of the laws” means that mayors and governors cannot selectively stand down because they fear the political price for confronting a particular mob. Maintaining the peace is these leaders’ duty. It is not an option that depends on the lawbreakers’ politics. https://t.co/o37g7EcXkf — PolitiTweet.org

If the far left cannot distinguish between Confederate generals and Washington, Jefferson, and Grant, they have completely exited the real world. We are so proud of the imperfect American heroes who built the most perfect union the world has ever seen. https://t.co/0UdsOxz5W2 — PolitiTweet.org

Later this week, thanks to @SenatorTimScott, the Senate will vote to consider police reform legislation on the floor. I hope both sides come together and vote to begin this important debate. The American people deserve more than political posturing. They deserve an outcome. — PolitiTweet.org

I just spoke in Kentucky about Juneteenth and America’s continued work to overcome the stain of our original sin. We must keep working to ensure that the timeless principles of our founding continue to triumph over prejudice and injustice. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate just confirmed @POTUS's exceptional choice to sit on the second-most-important federal bench. We Kentuckians are sorry to lose Judge Justin Walker, but we're very proud this brilliant and fair jurist will be serving our nation on the D.C. Circuit. https://t.co/BBv87PZDgI — PolitiTweet.org

The JUSTICE Act provides solutions on police reform that are sober, serious, and significant. The Senate should address this issue now. But we’ll only be able to act if both sides can work together. I hope our Democratic colleagues will come to the table next week. — PolitiTweet.org

Sadly, Democrats began attacking the JUSTICE Act proposal before it was even released. The Senate has recently put division aside to produce major bipartisan bills like the CARES Act and the Great American Outdoors Act. Police reform needs that same spirit. I hope we see it. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorTimScott has put together a strong and significant proposal to increase transparency, grow accountability, and advance needed reforms in policing. The Senate will turn to the JUSTICE Act next week. It will take bipartisan cooperation for the Senate to make a law. — PolitiTweet.org

When Black Americans tell us they do not feel safe in their own communities, we need to listen. When citizens lack faith in our justice system, we need to respond. And when the equal protection of the law feels to some Americans like a contingency of demographics, we need to act. — PolitiTweet.org

With our country facing a pandemic, an historic economic disruption, and a major discussion of racial justice, Speaker Pelosi has mostly kept her chamber on the longest-running spring break in human history. Over here, in the Senate, we are attending to the needs of the nation. https://t.co/90RIZ39HEc — PolitiTweet.org

Public lands preserve our nation’s beauty, provide recreation for American families, and help their local economies prosper. I am proud the Senate is going to pass historic legislation this week to make sure our National Parks and other lands have the permanent support they need. https://t.co/r3dN3lYMN0 — PolitiTweet.org

The landmark Great American Outdoors Act will help Kentuckians preserve our public lands and ensure that outdoor recreation can continue adding billions of dollars of prosperity to our state every year.

Our republic can survive a pandemic. It can survive civil unrest. But ideas and deliberation are our foundation. America cannot be America if civil disagreement becomes a contradiction in terms. Anti-speech silencing tactics are a cancer in a free and open society. — PolitiTweet.org

The liberal tradition in this country used to pride itself on broad-mindedness. But we have spent years watching elite institutions exchange debate and rigor for uniformity and psychological comfort. We saw it with universities. Now the free press is repeating that error. — PolitiTweet.org

The American people’s response to COVID-19 has been brave and patriotic. For months, citizens have sacrificed an enormous amount to protect their neighbors and our medical system. Their trust cannot be repaid with constitutionally dubious double standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Speech, assembly, and the free exercise of religion are all sacrosanct liberties. Mayors cannot play "red-light, green-light" with the First Amendment and cheer certain protests while selectively disadvantaging people of faith. The Bill of Rights is not an a-la-carte menu. — PolitiTweet.org

I strongly & fully support Americans' right to peacefully protest. But through no fault of the demonstrators, recent days have revealed glaring inconsistencies from some local leaders. While some mayors cheer mass protests, they continue to ban careful church gatherings. https://t.co/zkYCZcMgtw — PolitiTweet.org

Abolishing police would only take us farther away from the safety, justice, and equal protection of the laws that every single American deserves. Minneapolis cannot really think that arts programs and social workers can make law enforcement obsolete. My remarks: https://t.co/pn4X751Z5x — PolitiTweet.org

The Chinese Communist Party has cheated on trade, stolen foreign technology, executed long-term plans to target the industrial bases of the United States and our allies, and weaponized foreign aid to manipulate developing countries. And continued to repress their own people. — PolitiTweet.org

Thirty-one years ago, brave Chinese people flooded Tiananmen Square because they hoped a more modern and prosperous China would also become more free. What they got was a massacre of hundreds if not thousands and a society that still cannot even speak about it 31 years later. — PolitiTweet.org
