What I saw in the Otero ICE facility was heartbreaking. There are 4 detainees on a hunger strike. They have lost all hope that America will help them. Otero is a textbook case for why the Trump administration must end their cruel detention policies. https://t.co/Z2WZJ6F0GA — PolitiTweet.org

I’m on my way to tour the Otero ICE facility in New Mexico. I was told by advocates just this morning about flagrant abuses happening at this facility. I’ll be back in touch soon to tell you what I saw. https://t.co/2TFbOSQz03 — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration is CHOOSING to detain children. We just visited a Customs and Border Protection facility. We saw mothers and their children — around 20 people all locked up in a tiny room. Just blankets. Some have been there longer than 72 hours. This cruelty must end. https://t.co/fs3F34MKEQ — PolitiTweet.org

I am back at the border to investigate conditions for migrants, especially kids. This time in El Paso, Texas with a group of Oregon experts. We just met with advocates on the ground and heard horrific stories. Heading to our first facility now. Stay tuned. https://t.co/Q7N4jT84fM — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to releasing tax returns to Congress, even Richard Nixon was more law-abiding than Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Either the head of Border Patrol: 1. Doesn’t know that joking about the inhumane treatment and death of migrants is racist 2. Doesn’t care Both are bad. https://t.co/1sqnmJ2czA — PolitiTweet.org

My opinion on pineapple pizza is Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump need to stop obstructing election security legislation — PolitiTweet.org

Russia's biggest ally in its quest to infiltrate America's elections again is Mitch McConnell. — PolitiTweet.org

This proposal will cap out of pocket drug costs, saving seniors $27 billion and taxpayers $100 billion. Today we sent the message that patients and taxpayers come first. Not pharma giants who got billions in tax handouts. This is a first step, and important work is ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

It’s time for Congress to hold pharma accountable for ripping off American taxpayers and putting medication out of reach of seniors due to unnecessary price hikes. Today @SenateFinance took the first step by passing legislation to lower prescription drug costs. #StopRxGreed — PolitiTweet.org

.@senatemajldr what are you going to do about it? — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

This sweetheart deal gives Facebook blanket immunity after it misused and abused consumers' privacy. We need strong, enforceable laws on the books to hold executives accountable. https://t.co/KUYnTh05wE — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

One big takeaway from the Mueller hearing is that Republicans don’t care that Russia interfered in the 2016 election & they don’t care that Russia is going to do it again in 2020. @senatemajldr: today would be a good day to bring legislation to the floor to #ProtectOurElections. — PolitiTweet.org

Always a pleasure to run into my friends @EnesKanter and @SenMarkey. I look forward to working with my colleagues from Massachusetts to help Enes in his advocacy against President Erdogan’s authoritarianism. https://t.co/Xk1wClpmf2 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, by his own words, has no ethical compunctions about using government power against his political enemies. If this proposal moves forward, it will leave Americans less secure against intrusions by this lawless administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Never before have I been so certain that the administration in power would KNOWINGLY abuse the massive power of government surveillance. Their record shows they do not feel constrained by the law. They have not been bound by legal or moral precedents. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

If we give this attorney general and this president the unprecedented power to break encryption across the board and burrow into the most intimate details of Americans' lives - they will abuse those powers. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The Senate will be voting this afternoon to permanently extend funding for 9/11 first responders. I hope every Senator who voted to support Trump’s tax law, which blew a $2 trillion hole in the deficit, will also support this legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

America needs strong federal election security laws to make sure that American voters, not foreign hackers, decide our next election. I’m with House & Senate Dems demanding that @senatemajldr bring legislation to the floor to #ProtectOurElections. https://t.co/KjtI4d1H3b — PolitiTweet.org

This is just another attempt by Barr to undermine strong encryption and require government backdoors into Americans’ personal devices. I’m heading to the Senate floor to speak against Barr's dangerous proposal. — PolitiTweet.org

Consumer credit agencies exist & play a role in consumers’ financial lives no matter how much they are disliked and no matter how shady their practices or how awful their cybersecurity. Market forces can’t incentivize good behavior here and this FTC order won’t be enough either. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

No one should be able to collect deeply sensitive information on 200 million people without their consent, treat it with reckless disregard and then just pay a fine when a predictable, easily avoidable hack takes place. — PolitiTweet.org

Equifax knew its security was pitifully weak and yet did nothing to correct it, according to the FTC. In a just world, these executives would be going to jail. https://t.co/W0K6MwcRLT — PolitiTweet.org

The Chinese government sent a heavily armed mob to beat Hong Kong residents peacefully protesting for democracy. Donald Trump won’t say a word about it, because he is so desperate for China to throw him some crumbs on trade. Pathetic. — PolitiTweet.org

What I saw at the border yesterday further proves that zero tolerance makes zero sense, and is not in line with American values. We are demanding accountability and transparency from the Trump administration. https://t.co/TuDuDAJWeF — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

I'm with @SenateDems to investigate the horrific conditions at our southern border where the Trump administration is detaining children and families. We will not turn a blind eye as the administration continues its campaign of terror and fear mongering. — PolitiTweet.org
