We must combat the threat of domestic extremism the American way. Let’s not repeat the mistakes of our past & sacrifice rights & liberties in the name of security. I've always defended Americans' civil liberties regardless of who's in charge. I won't hesitate to do so again now. https://t.co/z5ftZQl8F0 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

As Appropriations Committee Chairman, I'm committed to combatting violent extremism in ALL its forms. But let's not draw false equivalence between white supremacist extremists--who represent the MOST LETHAL threat we face--& other types of extremism. Let's follow the facts. https://t.co/r8PAQTLK8k — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Domestic violent extremism is hardly a new problem in America, but we're facing a class of criminals who are more emboldened than ever. Why? Never before had these extremists received political cover from an American President. That's what we saw during the last four years. https://t.co/NEOXu73kDW — PolitiTweet.org

The US has invested billions to help Colombia prosper and establish a foundation for the rule of law. Much has been achieved, but the protests, and the govt’s myopic and violent response, shows how far the country has still to go. The rule of law remains fragile. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

If the Colombian govt has solid evidence that protests are being orchestrated by terrorists, as alleged, produce the evidence and arrest the perpetrators. If not then law abiding Colombians will understandably lose patience with their leaders. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

It is shocking to see the violent police response by the Colombian govt of overwhelmingly peaceful protesters. Legitimate grievances, while no excuse for violence or vandalism, should be a cause for dialogue, not excessive force. — PolitiTweet.org

So proud of her as she takes on this challenge. As a melanoma survivor Marcelle wants all to know that, especially during this pandemic, we need to keep our regular health checkups & necessary procedures, as she’s doing over the next several weeks. https://t.co/g8zWFvT59j — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Marcelle and I were glad to have time in Vermont last week seeing Vermonters and supporting Vermont's response to the pandemic. We both needed it as Marcelle prepares this week to begin treatment to address a chronic leukemia condition that she was diagnosed with in 2019. https://t.co/pVd7iOSiUG — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks John, and our very best wishes to you as you pause to take off the headphones. You’ve been a keystone in one of the nation’s finest statewide public radio networks, and we all will miss your insightful reporting. -Patrick and Marcelle — PolitiTweet.org

Elected officials should be beholden to the American people, not to billionaires and corporations. Let’s pass the #ForThePeopleAct and get dark money out of politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Vermont is already doing a great job protecting voting rights: We have automatic voter registration, and expansive early voting. The #ForThePeopleAct will make sure every American has the same access. @VermontSOS — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

We should be making it EASIER to vote — NOT HARDER. Making sure the #ForThePeopleAct becomes law is a critical step toward making that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

My friend and hero John Lewis used to say that the right to vote is sacred. He was so right, and that’s why I know we’ve got to get the #ForThePeople Act passed in the Senate and signed into law as quickly as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Every American has the right to make their voice heard at the ballot box. That means the right to representation in their government. And that’s why it’s vital that we protect the freedom to vote. We need to #RestoretheVRA and pass the #ForThePeople Act. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Farm to School is another born-in-Vermont initiative that I’ve worked to expand nationwide. A big thank you to the friends, farmers, schools and students who continue make this great program work. @anson_ag @Vt_Feed @ShelburneFarms @VTAgencyofAg @FarmToSchool https://t.co/KYl2zgKAd1 — PolitiTweet.org
