The GOP's flirtation with white supremacy didn't end after January 6.   No. It's at the core of their efforts to overturn our democracy.   It fuels their media ecosystem. It energizes their base.   And unless they cast it out, it will take hold of their party for good. https://t.co/ldTUqMLpwj — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP calls Build Back Better a "liberal wish list." What they’re really saying is they’re against paid family leave and childcare, health care, and climate action.   As for me, I don’t view this as a wish list. It’s a to-do list — and one that needs to get done right now. — PolitiTweet.org

The Facebook Papers are shocking and yet, not surprising. The industry is built on engagement, which grows with anger and hate. They have a multi-billion dollar incentive to stay the course. And with over 35% of the world using their platform - What could go possibly wrong? — PolitiTweet.org

Federal law protects against discrimination in housing, schooling and employment. Health care, however, remains broadly unprotected. That omission costs lives. Our #EqualHealthCareforAll Act makes health care a civil right, ensuring equitable care for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Holding Steve Bannon in criminal contempt was an early test of our democracy’s recovery. Now, it is in the hands of the Department of Justice. To do justice. https://t.co/isp9KkW121 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the House found Steve Bannon in criminal contempt for defying a subpoena. That charge will now be sent to the Justice Department for prosecution. The DOJ should take the matter before the grand jury without delay and bring Bannon to justice. No one is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Today Senate Republicans blocked a bill to expand the right to vote, end partisan gerrymandering, and expose dark money in politics. They wouldn’t even allow debate. Why? Because Republicans know that when people vote — they lose. It’s as simple as that. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Steve Bannon was given every opportunity to comply with a lawful subpoena. He chose instead to make specious claims of executive privilege. Tonight, we voted to hold him in criminal contempt. Despite what he and Trump may believe, no one is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

General Colin Powell was a man of deep intellect, courage and patriotism, whose life was defined by service to country. America will miss him dearly – but his incomparable legacy will live on. My prayers are with his family and friends, and those he inspired to service. — PolitiTweet.org

This isn’t a “moderate” vs. “progressive” thing. This is a “survival” vs. “complete and utter catastrophe” thing. Reconciliation might be our last, best chance to fight climate change through transformative investments. The next generation looks to us. We can’t let them down. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Here’s why this matters: The Biden Administration has already waived executive privilege on many documents, and allowed top former DOJ officials to testify. Now Biden supports strong enforcement of lawful subpoenas. Accountability is back, along with the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

A minority can use the Electoral College to elect a president who loses the popular vote. A minority can gerrymander control of the House. A minority can stop the majority from governing the Senate. Does that sound like a successful democracy to you? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: We’re not messing around here. People with relevant information to our investigation into January 6 must comply with lawful subpoenas. If they don’t, we will use all the tools at our disposal — including criminal contempt. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

You’ve probably heard a lot about the reconciliation debate. But chances are you haven’t heard what’s actually IN the bill: - Paid family medical leave. - Childcare. - Lower drug prices. - Expanded Medicare. - Climate action. And so much more. Enough noise. Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Tonight, Democrats voted to avert a default, which would have sent our economy into a tailspin.   Republicans instead proved they’re just fine with chaos, even a default – and the harsh consequences to families – if it moves them closer to power. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

History will not be kind to today’s Republican Party. A party whose members endorse sedition. A party that lionizes insurrectionists. A party that eagerly blocks progress on everything from climate to health care. So much for the party of Lincoln. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Thanks for the shout-out, Mr. Former President. As for your statement that the attack on the Capitol would never have happened if “the people in charge had done their job” You do realize that you were in charge on January 6th? Right? Just checking. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It’s a simple question with a simpler answer: Was the 2020 election stolen from Donald Trump? No. Unequivocally no. But Republicans are so beholden to their disgraced demagogue that they dare not speak the truth. They are an authoritarian cult. And a danger to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Proud to join @POTUS yesterday as he signed my bill, the HAVANA Act, into law. Every day, brave diplomats, intelligence officers, and servicemembers make great sacrifices. We must care for them as we investigate these troubling incidents and hold those responsible to account. https://t.co/mqcSOYfSeO — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The former president is still trying to stonewall subpoenas. But this time, we have a Justice Department devoted to the rule of law. This time, lawbreaking witnesses must weigh the prospect of criminal prosecution. Americans deserve answers. We will make sure they get them. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Donald Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election. He weaponized our government against the American people. And the worst part? He almost succeeded. Republican leaders in Congress know all of this. They just don’t care. And they continue to stand by as his attacks continue. — PolitiTweet.org

A federal judge just affirmed what so many of us already knew: Texas’s abortion ban is morally wrong — and legally wrong. This marks important progress in the ongoing effort to protect the right to choose. We will not go back. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Four of Donald Trump’s associates have been subpoenaed to testify about January 6. If they refuse to comply, they can be subject to criminal contempt. What are they hiding? What are they afraid of? The truth will come out. We will make certain of that. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @IATSE members voted to authorize a strike.    This is the next chapter in their efforts to secure living wages and better working conditions.   It is my hope an agreement can be struck soon, and that this will lead to badly-needed changes for these talented individuals. — PolitiTweet.org

According to this Facebook whistleblower, shutting down the civic integrity team and turning off election misinformation tools contributed to the Jan 6 insurrection.  The Select Committee will need to hear from her, and get internal info from Facebook to flesh out their role. — PolitiTweet.org
