This morning, Fiona Hill, an expert on Russian & Eurasian affairs, will testify & dispel the GOP’s false claims that Ukraine – not Russia – interfered in our election. The GOP must stop peddling conspiracy theories as a way to blindly defend POTUS & #DefendOurDemocray. — PolitiTweet.org

I am pleased to share the House legislative schedule for 2020. It ensures that Members have time in Washington to work on legislation that addresses the concerns of the American people & have time to conduct important work in their districts. #ForThePeople https://t.co/b03cZi1cg2 — PolitiTweet.org

I thank @HouseIntel for their work today. It was a critical day in this impeachment inquiry and our efforts to pursue the truth for the American people and #DefendOurDemocracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Witnesses we heard from this evening also explained to the public why it matters that aid was withheld and what’s at stake: it’s important for the U.S. to deter Russian aggression in Ukraine and around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The American people heard directly from Ambassador Sondland that POTUS directed a scheme to bribe Ukraine, there was a quid pro quo, and everyone knew. Then we learned Ukraine knew too – as early as the 7/25 phone call. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

David Hale – a witness requested by Republicans – agrees that withholding aid to investigate a political opponent is not a legitimate foreign policy objective. That’s bribery. That’s what the President did with Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I join in thanking my good friend @GerryConnolly for his work on the Committee, and I know that he will continue to contribute positively and effectively to its mission. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @RepMaloney on her election to serve as the first woman Chair of the @OversightDems. I know she will continue on the path set forward by Rep. Cummings while bringing her own perspective and years of experience to this role. https://t.co/4qyIXZKaJf — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The public is hearing from Laura Cooper, a DOD official who helped oversee the allocation of U.S. military aid to Ukraine, and David Hale, the 3rd-highest ranking official at the State Dept. Both will likely testify to the importance of the military aid withheld from Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

After previously taking action, the House passed two Senate bills responding to the Chinese government crackdown on the protests in Hong Kong. @POTUS should sign this legislation and send a strong message that democracy in Hong Kong must be preserved. https://t.co/lkmCrqWiFd — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to receive an award from @AAAAI_org today for introducing the School-Based Allergies and Asthma Management Act this year. My bipartisan bill encourages schools to implement plans to help students identify and control their asthma and allergies and reduce absenteeism. https://t.co/JAqr2w9xl0 — PolitiTweet.org

I thank @HouseJudiciary for marking up the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment & Expungement Act today, an important bill to decriminalize marijuana & reassess convictions. This bill will help communities of color disproportionately hurt by our current marijuana laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Ambassador Sondland’s testimony today was key in this impeachment inquiry: The President directed a scheme to bribe Ukraine to investigate a political rival. There was a quid pro quo. Everyone knew. Do Republicans think that's okay? — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Is it ever appropriate to invite, press, bribe, or coerce foreign interference in our elections? Ambassador Sondland, who was appointed by President Trump and was a key player in the President’s efforts to bribe Ukraine, agrees it is not. https://t.co/y6vbBtd7Yj — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Should the President be allowed to ask for the investigation of a political rival? The answer from Ambassador Sondland – as it should be from any American, regardless of party – is no. https://t.co/6UxoVD9l1G — PolitiTweet.org

While the House has already passed legislation to condemn the Chinese government crackdown on protests in Hong Kong & authorize sanctions, we will take up the Senate-passed bill today under suspension of the rules. Following passage, I urge @POTUS to enact this bill w/o delay. — PolitiTweet.org

.@BowieState students are visiting the Capitol today for Bulldogs on the Hill Day, and I was proud to welcome them to my office to discuss how I’m working on the HBCU Caucus to strengthen our nation’s HBCUs and expand opportunity for more students in #MD05 and across the country. https://t.co/M6rfWGHxX5 — PolitiTweet.org

It is outrageous that Latinas earn only 54 cents on the dollar compared to non-Hispanic white men. On #LatinaEqualPayDay, I urge the Senate to pass the #PaycheckFairnessAct to help close this wage gap and ensure #EqualPayForEqualWork. https://t.co/7dJwmRiZcV — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud the House passed the Equality Act earlier this year with bipartisan support, which I urge the Senate to take up and pass. Under the leadership of the @LGBTEqCaucus, House Democrats will continue to make strides for equality. — PolitiTweet.org

On #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance, I join in remembering transgender individuals killed by anti-LGBTQ violence, including the 20 transgender women of color killed this year. We must continue to work to eliminate violence & discrimination & ensure equal protections. #TDOR https://t.co/q6O0vU4tD7 — PolitiTweet.org
