A classic, catastrophic conflict of interest—helping Purdue duck safety regulation while profiting from advice to FDA safety regulators. No disclosure, no public protection, no shame. No whitewashing or wishing it away. Time for DOJ to investigate. https://t.co/DDdi5Hmpae — PolitiTweet.org

Russian atrocities in Bucha, Mariupol, & other parts of Ukraine, are designed to terrorize civilians. The full force of US & international law must be brought to bear. Investigate Putin as a war criminal & Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. 4 — PolitiTweet.org

Despite two additional Russian banks being added to the sanctions list, a majority of Russian banks are still operating as if everything is “business as usual.” In reality they are being used to fund Russian war crimes. We must do more to enforce strict, significant sanctions. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

We must continue immediate assistance—ammunition, Javelins, Stingers & air defense—but also prepare Ukraine for the long-term with training on advanced western systems, like PATRIOT, & provide A-10s & howitzers we want to divest or retire. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

As Putin’s horrendous war crimes in Ukraine are exposed—from the bloodbath in Bucha to the massacre in Mariupol—we must continue strengthening the Ukrainian military, providing humanitarian aid&bring Putin to justice. Putin has time on his side but we can change that calculus. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

For 2 decades, Afghan translators, interpreters, & guards for the U.S. mission provided our soldiers & diplomats w/invaluable support. As they sought refuge from assured torture & death by the Taliban, Americans back home stepped up to protect the allies that once protected them. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Dettelbach is an excellent choice to lead ATF. In two decades serving with law enforcement on the front lines of the gun epidemic, he learned firsthand what works to prevent more gun deaths & protect against violent crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, federal regulations recognize the deadly truth: a homemade gun is still a gun. Just ask anyone who has lost a loved one to a so-called ghost gun; they shoot like guns & they kill like guns. But they have not been treated as guns under federal law—until today. — PolitiTweet.org

My recent trips to the region convince me that we must do more—planes, tanks, air defense missiles, etc. But also broader, deeper economic sanctions, covering ALL Russian banks, all who finance Putin’s war machine, & tougher export controls—keep increasing pressure on Putin. — PolitiTweet.org
