The D.C. Circuit has provided states with the power to preserve the open internet & shield their consumers from low speeds & high prices. States will now do what this FCC refuses to do: protect consumers, #netneutrality & public safety. https://t.co/bTrCCLjOSF — PolitiTweet.org

Now Congress’ focus must be on the President himself&investigating impeachable offenses. All who aided&abetted Trump’s violations of law&abuses of power will eventually be held accountable—just like Watergate, when the “President’s men” went to prison. https://t.co/klUVFcgCEK — PolitiTweet.org

This report should make hearts break & stomachs turn—& anger burn at lack of enforcement of child pornography protection laws. As I urge here, failure to support enforcers & punish this abhorrent child sexual abuse is inexplicable & inexcusable. I’ll fight to turn the tide. — PolitiTweet.org
The New York Times @nytimes
Last year, tech companies reported over 45 million online photos and videos of children being sexually abused. More… https://t.co/nwNXnE3N1T

This egregious cut to the number of refugees allowed into the US follows the Trump admin’s pattern of directly opposing our country’s core values. We should not be turning our backs & shutting our doors on those fleeing war & persecution. https://t.co/hRWnamJFXK — PolitiTweet.org

Please, Mr. President, say it ain’t so. After so much bipartisan hard work on live-saving steps, don't allow the NRA to sabotage progress. Lives are at stake—not games. https://t.co/cZSEfa5Oax — PolitiTweet.org

As the number of deadly EEE cases continues to rise, further funding is urgently needed for prevention & additional research into treatment & immunization. https://t.co/HOrHvVZFm5 — PolitiTweet.org

Our hearts break as young military service members take their own lives—a national tragedy escalating in magnitude. Our Armed Services Committee must seek facts, beginning with a hearing ASAP. https://t.co/IRrjtbKItT — PolitiTweet.org

These reports are shocking. Lyft & Uber have shown a brazenly careless attitude about their responsibility to passengers who have been victims of sexual assault by their drivers. These companies must do more to ensure rides are in fact safe. https://t.co/OUkNcm7V8U — PolitiTweet.org

The conclusion of the IG is deeply damning: in abusing the office of the presidency for his own personal, political gain, Trump has, “risk[ed] U.S. national security & undermine[d] the U.S. Government’s efforts to deter & counter foreign interference in U.S. elections.” — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
The WH tried to hide Trump’s illegal activity by misclassifying call transcripts & moving the evidence to a separate server. Put simply: members of the Trump admin knew they were doing something deeply wrong, so they tried to conceal it—& now, they’ve been caught red-handed. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
They betrayed our national security & their oaths of office. These top officials must be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Over many months, President Trump used the power of the Oval Office to extort a foreign government to interfere in our election, & sought the assistance of Attorney General Barr, the White House counsel, & other government officials in doing so. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
This whistleblower complaint is a still-smoking gun—containing stark, stunning evidence of ongoing criminality & cover-up. The complaint outlines in powerful detail a concerted, premeditated campaign of corruption & criminal conduct by Trump & members of the admin. — PolitiTweet.org

Mob bosses are smarter & more subtle in their threats than Trump was talking to Zelensky. — PolitiTweet.org

Prosecutor’s-eye view of Trump transcript, abridged but verbatim and in sequence:
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
It should concern every American that the President of the United States still refuses to believe our own intelligence community that the Russians attacked our country in 2016, & will try to do so again in 2020. This is a national security issue. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Trump also asked Ukraine to investigate Crowdstrike, the company that helped the DNC to turn over evidence of its hacked servers to the FBI. The only reason you make this request is if you believe a fringe conspiracy that the evidence was doctored & Russians never attacked. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Zelensky made sure to mention he stayed at a Trump property—likely to gain favor & flatter the president. That visit was almost certainly a violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. Looks like we’ll have to update our brief. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
A few important details from the release of these call notes are being lost in the shuffle. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
When we desecrate our environment, we endanger American exceptionalism—the beauty of our great nation. Thank you to the state AGs—including CT—for not standing idly by as President Trump & his admin try to rollback bedrock environmental protections. https://t.co/Gvm1fuwGom — PolitiTweet.org

The FAA’s failure to fully disclose issues with inspector training is unacceptable—raising further concerns about the agency’s commitment to safety & transparency. Rigorous reform is needed to ensure those responsible for keeping the flying public safe are qualified for the task. — PolitiTweet.org

FAA misled Congress on inspector training for Boeing 737 Max, investigators say https://t.co/MmGTIyx3Eo

With a Big Tobacco executive now at its helm, Juul’s transformation is complete. It’s never been clearer: FDA must act to protect children from this insidious vaping industry. https://t.co/sMkmwQHTB4 — PolitiTweet.org

I join the families of Heather Heyer&Khalid Jabara to demand Congress take meaningful action to fix our broken hate crime reporting system. Passing the NO HATE Act will help ensure that these under-reported crimes are treated w/the seriousness they deserve https://t.co/ce7rOZFszO — PolitiTweet.org

No one is above the law, not the president, not his personal lawyer, & not the Attorney General of the United States. The world is watching. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
We must also find out what role Barr played in instructing the DNI not to turn over the whistleblower complaint to Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Barr must recuse himself from any DOJ involvement in this matter. If reports are true that DOJ declined to open an investigation after receiving a criminal referral, we must find out what role Barr played in that decision, given that he is mentioned numerous times in the call. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
William Barr may now be in legal jeopardy. He testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the President never asked him to investigate anyone. He should be brought back before the Senate Judiciary Committee to explain his previous testimony. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
The President is in breach of his oath of office & his constitutional duty to protect our country. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
It reads like a classic gangster shakedown—& I prosecuted mob bosses, I would know. Congress must not only see the whistleblower’s full complaint, we should hear from the whistleblower & other witnesses directly. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
These call notes are deeply damning & powerfully incriminating. Devastating for Trump, they spell out exactly how he pressured the Ukrainian President to investigate Trump’s political opponent for personal, political gain. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Congress must demand accountability. The values&norms of our democracy are precious&vulnerable. They depend on people fighting for them in times of adversity. At this moment, the threat to the rule of law&our democracy has reached a new height&requires all of us to step forward. — PolitiTweet.org
