BREAKING — An unconstitutional waste of money, stolen from our troops and counter-drug efforts, all in service of one man’s ego. Also, it’s defeated by a $100 saw. https://t.co/6RMNhTHVfw — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

#FOIA did its job; senators must now do ours. We need just 51 votes for a fair trial, with key witnesses & evidence that Pres. Trump blocked from the House. The Senate cannot be complicit in keeping the American people in the dark. NO ONE is above the law. Not even the President. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

My weekend Op-Ed explains how our premier transparency law, #FOIA, shed more light on Pres. Trump's efforts to block vital aid to Ukraine. But FOIA is NEVER a substitute for Congress's oversight power, rooted in the Constitution. READ my explanation HERE: https://t.co/rvmRfpxmdI — PolitiTweet.org

It's pure POTUS demagoguery. As part of his govt-wide #AntiScience drive, THIS YEAR ALONE he proposed slashing medical research at @NIH by $4.9 BILLION, @theNCI National Cancer Institute by $897 M., and at @CDCgov by $763 M. We REVERSED those proposed Trump cuts. #Appropriations — PolitiTweet.org

. . . and this is not even to mention the nearly $1.5 TRILLION that President Trump callously proposed to slash from #Medicaid over 10 years, which could eliminate coverage for TENS OF MILLIONS of people. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Mr. President, you mean “DESPITE this Administration.” As part of your #AntiScience drive, this year alone you proposed slashing medical research at #NIH by $4.9 BILLION, #NCI by $897 MILLION, and #CDC by $763 MILLION. How is that “Putting America’s Health First”? #Appropriations — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

#NEPA is about more than just cleaner air, land, & water, but about giving a voice to the very communities most impacted by these projects. Yet another Trump giveaway to fossil fuel lobbyists and a betrayal of every community that needs a voice. https://t.co/o1En7RunFm — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Today could not be more different. The president directed key witnesses like John Bolton not to cooperate. Bolton was in the room with the president, described the Ukraine efforts as a “drug deal,” and is NOW WILLING TO TALK if asked. How can the Senate not ask? https://t.co/VjcXoYkASV — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Republicans now say we’ll follow the Clinton trial blueprint. Well, I was there then, in the room for the witness depositions, and I presided over the Lewinsky depo. Then, EVERY key witness, including Pres. Clinton, had already provided extensive testimony before the trial. https://t.co/qB15308air — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

I just spoke on the Senate Floor about impeachment. I firmly believe the Senate itself is now on trial, and must not be complicit in a cover-up. Key withheld documents MUST be turned over, and critical witnesses with firsthand knowledge of events MUST testify. https://t.co/yLUBLxIjV1 — PolitiTweet.org

SHORTLY, at 11:45 on the Senate Floor, I’ll make clear how a sham trial is in no one’s interest, including Pres Trump. A choreographed acquittal exonerates no one. Our duty is to pursue the truth, NOT to rig the trial. We MUST hear from witnesses blocked by Trump. LIVE @CSPAN 2 — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President, also, a basic lesson about the law: The 5th Circuit did not ‘reverse’ the merits of the lower court’s ruling, which found your daylight robbery of our military ILLEGAL. The ruling that your actions were unlawful STILL STANDS. — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President, seems you again need to be reminded that you STOLE that $3.6 billion from the men, women and families of our armed forces in places like NC, Ky., Colo., and TX for your ineffective vanity wall. — PolitiTweet.org
