Mr. President, I hate to break it to you, but YOU are a federal employee. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

50 U.S.C. §§ 3033: “The Inspector General shall not disclose the identity of the employee without the consent of the employee” and “no action constituting a reprisal, or threat of reprisal, for making such complaint or disclosing such information... may be taken by any employee" — PolitiTweet.org

By withdrawing from the JCPOA, President Trump further destabilized the Middle East by accelerating Iran’s path to nuclear weapons. By empowering Erdogan to act on its own ambitions, President Trump may be doing the same with Turkey. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

We should be deeply skeptical of Turkey’s nuclear ambitions given Russia’s support for a Turkish nuclear program, and Turkey’s recent purchase of the S-400 missile system. The nonproliferation treaty is crucial for international stability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Erdogan is empowered by the President’s reckless decision to withdraw from Syria, effectively green lighting the Turkish incursion. Turkey must not break from the nonproliferation treaty to arm itself with nuclear weapons, and the U.S. must lead by example in upholding it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Our Constitution indicates that impeachment is for "treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." A failure by Congress to pursue impeachment in the face of grave offenses by the President is an insult to our Constitution and to our values. https://t.co/ecqMe96fYA — PolitiTweet.org

.@SeemaCMS and @SecAzar: Medicaid is emblematic of who we are as a nation, reflecting what and whom we value and the ideals we are willing to fight for. I’m working to ensure Medicaid beneficiaries receive quality care. Are you? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Today CMS Administrator Verma will testify to the House @EnergyCommerce Committee. I thank my colleagues in the House for their diligence in investigating how the Trump Admin has worked to sabotage Medicaid while flouting Congressional oversight requests. https://t.co/dvmFQj3yUT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Yesterday I sent a follow up to Secretary Azar reiterating my request for information on CMS’s efforts to work with states to develop unlawful waivers by states to restructure Medicaid program financing. https://t.co/J2GD7WTIi4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Meanwhile, the Administration rolled back CMS rules meant to impose greater oversight and accountability on Medicaid managed care companies. Insurance company executives regained the ability to limit services and issue service denials without fear of repercussion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

These cuts to Medicaid have gone so far as to risk the health care of our nation’s most vulnerable: More than a million children have lost coverage under Medicaid and CHIP since 2017, and the rate of uninsured children has skyrocketed. https://t.co/OFS29esvQX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Next emerged the Administration’s plan to turn Medicaid into a block grant program – a blatant scheme to cut funding by $1 trillion. By then it was clear the Administration would do anything to take down Medicaid, including working behind closed doors to slash coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

On his first day in office, Trump issued an Executive Order directing all departments & agencies to work to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, deliberately undercutting the health care provided to the 12 million low-income Americans who gained coverage through Medicaid expansion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

While the news cycle may be focused on the President’s abuses of power, here’s a reminder that Trump continues to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, gut Medicaid, deny care to those with preexisting conditions and sabotage the health care of millions of Americans (thread) — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The Advanced Practice Providers are a key part of our health care workforce – leading the growth of the region’s health care sector, treating patients with quality care, and finding cures to support our most vulnerable. Thank you for having me! @PennMedNews — PolitiTweet.org

@realDonaldTrump From 1882-1968, there were nearly 5000 lynchings in the United States, the vast majority of which were committed against black men and women. Systemic racism continues to permeate our country, and the President is only furthering this with his racist rhetoric. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Lynching is an act of terror rooted in white supremacy, and it is a disgrace for the President to compare lynching to a constitutional process. This racist, extremist rhetoric is not just unacceptable, it's dangerous. @realDonaldTrump, this language is an insult to our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The President’s extreme rhetoric not only places the whistleblower’s personal safety in jeopardy, it undermines all whistleblower programs. Congress must consider more ways to protect whistleblowers, including criminalizing the disclosure of a whistleblower’s identity. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ALDIANews: Within six years of the Affordable Care Act, 20 million previously uninsured Americans obtained healthcare. In the past two… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Our Kurdish allies put their lives on the line for us. Lives were lost for us. Withdrawing from Syria undermines the sacrifices of all the brave soldiers caught in the conflict, and will go down in history as one of our greatest international betrayals. https://t.co/NhkrmlNuDE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This powerful photo of a U.S. solider wearing a patch in solidarity with Kurdish allies is a reminder that the President’s withdrawal from Syria isn’t just an abandonment of our allies in the fight against ISIS, but an equal betrayal of the U.S. forces who fought alongside them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Chris Christie (R): “It shouldn’t have been done in the first place.” Rep. Tom Cole (R): “There is certainly an appearance of conflict of interest.” Rep. Mike Simpson (R): “He’s doing it for his own benefit.” Rep. Tom Reed (R): “This is a legitimate criticism.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

It’s true that Democrats were quick to stand up to the President’s attempted use of his office to enrich himself and his family. But let’s be honest here, we weren’t alone. This decision was such a clear abuse of power that even members of his party couldn’t defend him. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Playing fast and loose with American servicemembers, their missions and their lives is the exact opposite of “bringing troops home.” Congress needs to act. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

As Congress considers sanctions against Turkey and humanitarian support for Syrian and Kurdish civilians, it is critical that we debate and pass an AUMF that clearly lays out what the U.S. role in this conflict is going to be going forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Instead of fulfilling his promise to bring an end to “endless wars”, the President is simply redirecting military assets without a clear strategy for how we are going to prevent ISIS’s resurgence – which is happening due to his reckless decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The Administration’s decision to relocate U.S. troops from Syria to Iraq is one more unsanctioned military action without congressional input. https://t.co/juEqgusBns — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

We need to increase access to school meals for children in the Commonwealth and across the country. This disastrous proposal would do the exact opposite - take away automatic eligibility for free meals from nearly 1 million children. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

In Pennsylvania, this will jeopardize vital nutrition assistance for 200,000 Pennsylvanians in more than 120,000 households. We should be improving the efficiency and effectiveness of SNAP, not eroding a program that is vital to thousands of Pennsylvania children and families. — PolitiTweet.org
