I've received more than 4,000 emails and calls about the USPS: Small business owners who are losing money. Veterans who are waiting weeks to receive medication. Citizens who are afraid their vote won't be counted. America needs the USPS. We won't let Trump destroy it. https://t.co/MYacMrsfht — PolitiTweet.org

Is there no American institution, nothing that makes this country unique and beautiful, that Trump does not seek to destroy? The vast, pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is just the latest. The damage done by this Administration to our planet will take decades to repair. — PolitiTweet.org

The Postmaster General must resign. He’s slowed delivery, banned overtime & decommissioned mail-sorting machines. Right before the election. During a pandemic. The House must demand answers. Hearings should start now. It can’t wait. We won’t let Trump destroy the Post Office. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Has there ever been a president so utterly devoid of scruple, so naked in his ambition to steal an election? Trump is so terrified of losing that he'll take the entire system down with him. Our post office. Our elections. Our very democracy. His depravity is boundless. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s promises aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. First, he was going to extend unemployment benefits. Then he said he would cut them to $400. A couple days later, it’s $300, with millions ineligible. By next week, he’ll be sending Americans IOUs. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's assault on critical environmental protections continues. Why? Because Obama wrote them and Trump's big donors hate them. The planet is paying the price for Trump's pettiness and disdain for nature. We must reverse course. — PolitiTweet.org

Belarus has been referred to as Europe’s longest lasting dictatorship under the brutal, corrupt rule of Lukashenko. After another fraudulent election, Belarusians are peacefully calling for freedom and democracy. America and democracies around the world must stand with them. — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump has never deterred Russia from interfering in U.S. elections. Far from it. The sum total of Trump's words and actions has only encouraged Russian meddling in our elections. Insecure, unscrupulous and transactional, Trump is Putin’s ideal American president. https://t.co/x61qph1Z95 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says “I don’t care what anybody says” when intel agencies disclosed Russia is interfering in our election to hurt Biden. Of course he doesn’t. He has solicited foreign help again and again. From Russia, Ukraine & China. He doesn’t care about our democracy. Only himself. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Another court victory: Trump's former White House counsel Don McGahn must testify before Congress. But it's been over a year since he was subpoenaed—exactly what Trump wanted. We must reform the law to expedite Congressional subpoenas so no president can run out the clock. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Once again, a principled, patriotic public servant has come forward to expose Trump's abuse of power. Once again, Trump sought to use the levers of power not to advance the country’s interests, but to help himself. Trump’s only foreign policy: line my pockets or help me cheat. — PolitiTweet.org

Lebanon is among the many countries already facing enormous health and economic consequences of COVID, compounded by refugee crises and more. My thoughts are with Lebanon after today's horrific explosion. The international community must come to the aid of the Lebanese people. — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump on coronavirus: Totally under control. (It wasn't.) Anyone that wants a test can get a test. (Not true.) I don’t take responsibility at all. (That much is clear.) Slow the testing down. (Deadly.) And now: "It is what it is." Americans are paying the price. https://t.co/fZCO9y4IBR — PolitiTweet.org

We have lost more than 155,000 Americans to COVID-19. Families are mourning. Friends are unable to gather to remember their lives. Communities are torn apart. It doesn’t have to be this way. Let’s all do our part to halt the spread, stop this virus and remember those we lost. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Another week, another deceptive video going viral on Facebook—once again targeting @SpeakerPelosi. If Facebook can’t defend against low-tech disinfo like this video, it’s clear they’re not ready for the threats that are coming our way in November. They need to do better. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The Presidential Daily Brief is the gold standard for intelligence analysts— a "hoax" would never be included. When Trump says that threats against American troops don’t make it to his desk, he’s just lying. Trump can't provide national leadership, only dangerous excuses. https://t.co/rlz14CjWos — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s make this clear: Mail-in voting is the EXACT SAME THING as absentee voting. The only difference? Trump wants you to vote “absentee” if you are a Republican, And stop your “mail-in” vote if you’re a Democrat. Trump wants to suppress the vote. We can't let him. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Thank you, Lt. Col. Vindman. For reminding us that here, right matters. And that even with a president with no regard for the Constitution or anything beyond himself, The strength our democracy is the character and commitment of citizens like you. https://t.co/eGlMD6Weof — PolitiTweet.org

On my telephone town hall last night, a woman called in to say that she doesn't know how she'll survive without unemployment benefits. "What's going to happen to people like me?" Today, those $600 weekly benefits run out — because Trump and McConnell refused to extend them. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

.@Andy is right. The FDA blood ban is discriminatory and unscientific. Blood or plasma donations rules should be based on science, not bias, especially when they could help those suffering from COVID-19. This outdated ban should be repealed now, and I have a bill to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Fact Check: You can’t do that. The Constitution explicitly grants Congress the power to set the election date. And we will do everything we can to ensure all Americans can vote — safely and securely — on November 3. No matter what nonsense you tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

How fitting that our dear colleague John Lewis continues to guide us even after he is gone. His legacy is one of ceaseless struggle for justice and equality. To redeem the soul of the nation. We will walk with the wind, my friend, and we know you will walk with us. — PolitiTweet.org

Guess the call with Putin went well. For Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Since this story broke, President Trump has: Attacked “intelligence” and military generals, Dismissed the threat to our soldiers, And stayed pathetically silent in the face of Russian aggression. Why in the world can’t this man stand up to Putin? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Republicans waited ten weeks to unveil their bill, and now claim they don’t know what’s in it. Now we see why. Tax deductions for expensive meals, as people are going hungry. Major cuts for the unemployed. And the kicker: $2 billion to ward off competition for Trump's Hotel. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

No, Mr. Attorney General. It doesn’t matter "what kind of assistance." It doesn’t matter whether it helps your boss. Or if it’s dirt, a donation, or a social media campaign. Accepting foreign election help is always wrong – and illegal. Americans decide American elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

In this sentence, we see but one reason Trump is a failed president: “...senior advisers began presenting Trump with maps and data showing spikes in coronavirus cases among ‘our people’ in Republican states.” He never viewed himself as representing all of the American people. — PolitiTweet.org
