It was a moving moment and ceremony that I will never forget, and I’m glad I had the chance to get to know Mike and to record those moments with these photos. https://t.co/hHiThstXFH — PolitiTweet.org

In 2015, Mike and his fellow Marines – that same honor guard -- returned to Cuba with Secretary Kerry, Marcelle and me, carrying that same flag, to raise it again over our re-opened Embassy. https://t.co/AaJNZppFlj — PolitiTweet.org

Mike was one of the three Marine guards who in 1961 had the duty of lowering the U.S. Flag over our Embassy in Havana. https://t.co/AEgY5qh3L6 — PolitiTweet.org

The integrity of Guatemala’s Constitutional Court, the ultimate protector of the country’s democracy, is under attack. Guatemala’s President and Attorney General have a duty to defend it. My full statement: https://t.co/pVFbXbBwKF https://t.co/UL9tJxts9L — PolitiTweet.org

The 9th Circuit reaffirmed the Constitution's plain text by ruling that Pres. Trump can't divert congressionally appropriated $ for our military toward his wall. Congress ALONE has the power of the purse. Taxpayer $ aren't a slush fund for the Pres's pet projects. Comment here: https://t.co/AiecyW6uN5 — PolitiTweet.org

The election of Mauricio Claver-Carone to be president of the Inter-American Development Bank could jeopardize U.S. support for the Bank. The Latin countries should carefully consider the implications of his nomination. https://t.co/EsNY3d2WCR https://t.co/cWSbF3ko6M — PolitiTweet.org

Last night the House unanimously passed the Patents 4 Humanity Improvement Act, a bill I’ve partnered with @ChuckGrassley on for years. We should be doing all we can to support creative, innovative minds striving to meet global humanitarian needs. NOW the Senate must follow suit — PolitiTweet.org

Perhaps nothing reveals the Trump admin’s zeal to strip away Americans’ health care more than a late-night brief filled with heartless, legally suspect & gratuitous arguments FILED IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC THEY HAVE BUNGLED AT EVERY TURN urging the Court to overturn the #ACA. — PolitiTweet.org

This AM Chairman Graham suggested @SenJudiciary can always call an AG to testify to ensure DOJ accountability. But the current AG hasn't testified before us in 421 DAYS. I asked Graham to call AG Barr & he said "we will." That’s good news. Barr’s been busy & I have questions. https://t.co/J75xbE5HHE — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

I hope that Ldr. McConnell isn't taking his cues from AG Barr, who opposes the bill and loathes accountability. But this bill isn't about Barr - it's about empowering the DOJ IG under ANY ADMIN to do their job & root out abuse & misconduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Proud to cosponsor the bipartisan Inspector General Access Act that @SenJudiciary just approved. It empowers DOJ's IG to do what EVERY OTHER IG already does: independently investigate misconduct w/out political interference. It's just common sense & merits a full Senate vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is @senatemajldr afraid to release the #VRAA from his legislative graveyard? Empowering all Americans to vote isn't a Democratic or Republican priority; it's the American way. I urge all senators to join me in calling on Leader McConnell to allow a vote to #RestoreTheVote — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

We need to act fast & #ProtectOurVote by taking up & passing my bipartisan Voting Rights Advancement Act which the House ALREADY passed (#HR4) & is supported by 46 senators. My #VRAA would restore the Voting Rights Act, and in doing so, #RestoreTheVote. https://t.co/tWejYw890a — PolitiTweet.org

7 yrs. ago today SCOTUS issued the disastrous Shelby decision, gutting the Voting Rights Act & unleashing a torrent of voter suppression. Just days ago we saw Shelby in action: sudden poll closures & long lines ALL OCCURRING in minority-heavy precincts. Coincidence? No. — PolitiTweet.org
