Yesterday’s ordeal of relentless evidence about the Ukraine "drug deal" cooked up & covered up in our government, about disgraceful conduct & motives of the President & officials, & the damage it has done to our reputation, allies, & interests, has sickened my stomach & my heart. — PolitiTweet.org

My take on a long grim day. My father served the United States government his whole life, as a WWII Marine Corps dive bomber pilot, as a CIA officer in post-war Europe, & as a career foreign service officer with three tours in the Southeast Asia conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

After all Trump’s race baiting and cruelty, it warms the heart to be on the Senate floor as a female African American police chief so effectively and professionally presents the damning evidence of the President’s misconduct. — PolitiTweet.org

If we accept a President soliciting political help from Ukraine in return for official support, who next? Russia? China? Facebook? Google? Sure, I’ll help you, but "I would like you to do us a favor though…" — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful image of newly-elected Ukrainian president, elected on strong anti-corruption, forced to yield to corrupt request from his supposed best ally, the President of the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder what it’s like for White House lawyers sitting in the Senate, hearing the undisputed evidence of their President’s misconduct, and knowing that their real defense is that the President has put the fix in in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

So, what exactly is #CitizensUnited and what did it do? @SenJeffMerkley and I explain: https://t.co/9wwLSlj3if — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Ten years ago, the Supreme Court handed down #CitizensUnited, giving corporations and powerful interests the power to secretly spend unlimited amounts of money to help get political candidates elected. The aftermath of this decision has been devastating. — PolitiTweet.org
