When @POTUS nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, he made a phenomenal choice. And I'm thrilled such a talented jurist has received bipartisan support to become a Supreme Court justice. America will be a fairer, more just place with her on the bench. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro possess intimate knowledge of events leading up to Jan 6, yet have chosen to conceal it. Tonight, Congress voted to hold them in contempt. Now, the DOJ must submit the matter to a grand jury – because the American people deserve accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Because of sky-high prices, oil companies are making millions off the war in Ukraine – literally. While families struggle to pay at the pump. This is unacceptable. Enough is enough. Time for a windfall profits tax on the oil industry. — PolitiTweet.org

This evening, I unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19. I'm feeling fine, and grateful to be vaccinated and boosted. In the coming days, I will quarantine and follow CDC guidelines. And remember, please get vaccinated! — PolitiTweet.org

I'm glad @POTUS will extend the pause on student loan repayments. It will help so many. But I think he needs to go further. We've got to ease the burden, not merely delay it. Let's start by canceling up to $50,000 in debt per borrower. And let's do it now, Mr. President. — PolitiTweet.org

The good news: We can still stop some of the most catastrophic effects of climate change. The bad news: We're running out of time. And fast. We need all hands on deck to pass bold legislation. Because when it comes to saving the planet, inaction kills. — PolitiTweet.org

My heart breaks for Sacramento as it becomes the latest city traumatized by a horrific act of gun violence. My prayers are with the victims and their families. But prayer alone isn’t enough. We must put an end to the scourge of gun violence once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, millions of Muslims across America and around the globe marked the start of the holy month of Ramadan. This is such a special time for our Muslim friends and neighbors - a time for prayer, reflection, healing, and renewal. So to all those observing: Ramadan Mubarak. — PolitiTweet.org

We just passed the MORE Act. It would eliminate criminal penalties for cannabis offenses. And expunge past federal cannabis convictions – addressing the detrimental impacts of decades of misguided drug policy. It's time we took a stand for equity in our justice system. — PolitiTweet.org

Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in 2018. And four years later, justice has yet to be done. Now a Turkish prosecutor is trying to move the trial of his murder suspects to Saudi Arabia – the country whose leader ordered Khashoggi's killing in the first place. This cannot stand. — PolitiTweet.org

In Canada, insulin is $12 on average. In Mexico, it's about $16. Yet in the U.S., it's nearly $100 for the same lifesaving drug. Same continent. Same drug. Wildly different prices. Why? Corporate greed. Today, the House will cap the price of insulin. The Senate must follow. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Absolutely horrified by the attacks in Israel over the last week. The people of Israel have a right to live freely, and in peace — these attacks threaten that right. I’m praying for those who lost loved ones to this horrific violence. We must not let terror win. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I’ll give Trump credit for consistency. Even now, he’s asking Putin for political help. Despite being impeached for seeking foreign help in an election. Despite the fact that Putin is killing Ukrainian civilians. Trump is consistent. Consistently selfish — and unpatriotic. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Don't buy the fear-mongering from Republicans bought and paid for by Big Oil. The transition to green, renewable energy isn't just good for the planet – it's good for America. Millions of good-paying jobs. A product made in America, for America. And a brighter future for all. — PolitiTweet.org

California's National Guard stands ready, willing, and able to support humanitarian work in Ukraine. Yet bureaucratic hurdles prevent them from doing so. @SecDef and @SecBlinken must approve the required authorities so the Guard can do more to ease Ukraine's suffering. https://t.co/wPznrE4hFw — PolitiTweet.org

Judge David Carter issued a remarkable opinion. Finding the former president may have committed a crime and fraud against the people of the United States. If no one is above the law, then no one must be above the law. Congress is doing its part. The DOJ must do the same. https://t.co/cyDlyoD08R — PolitiTweet.org

Our investigation has a singular purpose: To ensure we never again experience a day like Jan 6. Every witness called before us should cooperate. Yet Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino have refused. And cited spurious privileges. Leaving us no choice but to find them in contempt. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

For too long, billionaires have avoided paying their fair share in taxes. President Biden's billionaire minimum income tax would help fix that. And go a long way toward making our economy work for everyone. It's about time everyone paid their fair share, don't you think? — PolitiTweet.org

For millions of Afghan women and girls, education has been a lifeline. One we feared the Taliban would sever. Our fears were tragically well-founded, as the Taliban has decided to keep girls’ high schools closed indefinitely. These images are haunting, and heartbreaking. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Deeply disturbed to learn two separate Jewish community centers have received bomb threats this week. Antisemitism and extremism are on the rise everywhere – including here at home. So we must remain vigilant. And recommit ourselves to the fight against such destructive hatred. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Oil companies are more concerned with growing their - already record-high - profits than easing the pain ordinary folks feel at the pump. It's greed, plain and simple. Isn’t it time to wean ourselves off fossil fuels and invest in renewables? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

One month ago, Putin launched an unprovoked war on Ukraine. Since then: The Ukrainian people have held off Russian forces, at the cost of many lives lost. The U.S. has delivered billions in aid. And the world has shunned Putin. Time for Russia to get the hell out of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The Citizens United decision enabled special interest groups to pour billions into elections and erode public trust. Today, I'm introducing a constitutional amendment to overturn this disastrous ruling. Let's get dark money out of our democracy. And return power to the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The US has confirmed what many of us already believed: Members of Russia's armed forces are committing war crimes in Ukraine. Putin's war will be defined by images of dead children and other civilians. Innocents slain by indiscriminate violence. Russia must be held to answer. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has demonstrated great intellect and a mastery of the law.   She was unfazed despite outrageous and offensive Republican attacks.   And she has proven herself worthy of serving on the highest court in the land. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Secretary Albright was one of the fiercest champions of democratic values and human rights in history. She was a personal friend and visionary. And I am deeply saddened by her passing. As we mourn, we honor her legacy by pledging to defend democracy at home and abroad. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

As Ukrainians defend themselves against Russian atrocities, the IC has a unique role to play in exposing war crimes. Strategic declassification ahead of the invasion blunted Russia's attack. And exposing war crimes now will ensure accountability in the future. https://t.co/7VSHGnYWnq — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The head of the UN said the world is “sleepwalking to climate catastrophe.” So what on earth are we waiting for? How bad do the storms and wildfires have to get? How high must the sea level rise? What’s it going to take before we pass a Green New Deal? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

In making the free press subject to criminal liability for reporting the news, Putin has taken another step to crush free speech in Russia. He fears the Russian people will learn the truth. It's dangerous. And wrong. We must continue to support those who expose Putin’s war. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Each of your statements are false, Kevin. But remember when you said Trump was on Putin’s payroll? And when you said the Benghazi Select Committee was designed to bring down Hillary’s numbers? Brilliant comments like those cost you dearly. Glad to see you’re keeping it up! — PolitiTweet.org
