We cannot wait any longer to curb our country’s epidemic of gun violence—lives are at stake. I stand with survivors & advocates from CT & around the country to demand #EnoughIsEnough. https://t.co/PdUDW6fZwj — PolitiTweet.org

Two key quotes from Professor Karlan’s testimony: “If you conclude he [Trump] asked for investigations of Biden & his son, then we have bribery.” “Soliciting the bribe is the impeachable offense.” I agree & here’s why — PolitiTweet.org

People are rightly angry & scared because they feel like they’re losing control of their personal data. It’s time for Congress to give Americans control over their privacy & a means of enforcing their rights. https://t.co/unPXbqqQsy — PolitiTweet.org

Professor Karlan in today’s House Judiciary hearing is right, “The Constitution is indifferent to who the next president of the United States is...all it cares about is that we have free&fair elections.” The president’s actions are threatening the underpinnings of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

The ABA unanimously rated Sarah Pitlyk as “not qualified.” What little experience she has comes from pushing an extremist anti-choice agenda—so extremist that her nomination has bi-partisan opposition. Sadly & disturbingly, this was not enough to stop her life-time appointment. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the nation is hearing top legal experts make a clear, convincing case for why Trump’s conduct is impeachable. Their testimony only builds on the stunning details of bribery, abuse of power, & obstruction laid out by dedicated career public servants. — PolitiTweet.org

Other states should follow @TreasurerWooden's excellent example in taking our state's pension funds out of the gun industry. Such leadership sends a powerful message that the gun violence prevention movement is growing in strength & impact. https://t.co/lKO1rLdKY0 — PolitiTweet.org

Pitlyk embodies the most disturbing aspects of the Trump admin’s ceaseless mission to degrade the judiciary. Ordinarily this indifference to the truth would disqualify a nominee, but under this admin all that matters is passing their ideological tests. https://t.co/j34188qq2L — PolitiTweet.org

Military families’ reports of unhealthy, unacceptable housing conditions are repeated & recurring. Today, I called on our military leaders to take real, meaningful action—including referring cases to DOJ for fraud related civil/criminal investigations—to end this chronic problem. https://t.co/cCmKXwsD9e — PolitiTweet.org

When presidents trade public actions for political favors, the proper punishment is not a matter of opinion; it’s a matter of law. Trump solicited a bribe & the Constitution makes clear that a president who engages in bribery “shall be removed from office."https://t.co/vR9YFrilC1 — PolitiTweet.org

Why would President Trump block 12 current & former admin officials from testifying if the call was really "perfect?" If Trump has nothing to hide, he should welcome the opportunity for these public servants to give their sworn testimony & share the truth. https://t.co/XBDTx1OydD — PolitiTweet.org

A surprise & shock for Amtrak riders this holiday season: You’ve no right to sue if you’re grievously injured. A new fine print clause bars the courthouse door. Mandatory arbitration is your only remedy. Time for Amtrak to get back on track & give riders their legal rights back. https://t.co/G9kiGTMPJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
