Trump has systematically and shamelessly trampled on democratic norms and the rule of law. That's why we need the Protecting Our Democracy Act. Now. Tune in LIVE for our discussion with the Center for American Progress on this landmark legislation: https://t.co/k79oktesw9 — PolitiTweet.org

After Watergate, Congress passed landmark reforms to ensure that those abuses of power would never happen again. And after three and a half years of Trump, it's clear we need a new set of reforms — now. That's why we're introducing this package #ProtectingOurDemocracy: https://t.co/LtdqEDkyC2 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump misled the country in February when he downplayed the severity of the virus, but told Bob Woodward that COVID-19 was deadly, airborne, and worse than any flu. That he is still lying about the virus, with 200,000 Americans dead and no end in sight, is simply monstrous: — PolitiTweet.org

Another tragic milestone: 200,000 Americans have died of coronavirus. It is difficult to grasp the enormity of this loss. And it’s even more difficult to reckon with the fact this tragedy was avoidable, if we had competent presidential leadership. It didn’t have to be this way. — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President, this is low. Even for you. No, I didn’t write Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish to a nation she served so well, and spent her whole life making a more perfect union. But I am going to fight like hell to make it come true. No confirmation before inauguration. — PolitiTweet.org

Election Day is 43 days away. And our health is on the ballot. To nominate and confirm a new Justice with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court — to repeal our healthcare before the election — is an affront to voters. There must be no confirmation before inauguration. — PolitiTweet.org

America lost a giant. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was shunned from courtrooms when she began her career because she was a woman. But she persisted, blazing a trail for millions of women and others who had been excluded or oppressed. RBG is a lioness of the law. She is irreplaceable. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump knew how deadly COVID-19 was in February. Not only did he downplay it, he blocked steps that would have saved lives. @RepRoKhanna and I have bills to send masks to the American people, just as the USPS wanted to do in April. It made sense then, and it still does. — PolitiTweet.org

The best defense we have against COVID-19 is science. And from the beginning, Trump has marginalized and attacked experts. That’s why the U.S. has fared worse than any other developed nation. 190,000 Americans have died. How many more have to die until Trump understands? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Barr uses the DOJ as a shield to protect Trump, But also as a sword to go after Trump’s “enemies list.” The Durham investigation was political from the start and issuing “findings" before the election would violate DOJ policy.
