It is an affront to civil liberties for unidentified federal agents to enter a US city over the objections of its mayor, and to detain peaceful protesters. Trump is creating chaos so he can call himself the "Law and Order President." And it's as shameful as it is transparent. https://t.co/6dtzbSG95y — PolitiTweet.org

“I would like you to do us a favor though.” It’s been one year since Trump sought re-election help from Ukrainian’s president. And set in motion a process that lead to his impeachment. Since then, Trump begged China’s president to help his campaign. The cancer only grows. — PolitiTweet.org

It was four years ago that we first began to see evidence of Russian interference in our elections. The lights were flashing red then, and are again now. We must deter, disrupt, and expose foreign interference. And we must vote. Because Americans decide American elections. https://t.co/nzqD2XpSg6 — PolitiTweet.org

This deadline was no surprise. So many Americans are relying on these benefits to pay their rent or mortgage. To put food on the table. To make ends meet. Mitch McConnell and the GOP may have a nice weekend. But Millions of Americans won’t. And Republicans just don’t care. — PolitiTweet.org

It isn’t enough to beat coronavirus. We have a responsibility to learn from our mistakes so we can be better prepared in the future. @SenFeinstein and I introduced a bill to ensure a comprehensive review of the action—and inaction—that led to this crisis: https://t.co/ieojdz52Ye — PolitiTweet.org

We are all greatly comforted that the President can remember and comprehend the words — Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV. But it’s these five words we wish he could understand: Honesty, Duty, Country, Compassion, Decency. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump asked England to help him get the lucrative British Open golf tournament played at his resort. He begged the Chinese to help his re-election campaign. And he sought to coerce Ukraine into smearing his opponent. And for America? What’s in it for us? Absolutely nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The Constitution’s command to count “every person” as part of the Census is not ambiguous and not optional. Trump is renewing his attacks on the Census and a fair count. We will fight this. You can too by making sure you are counted. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump is laying the groundwork to delegitimize the election, Discrediting mail-in-voting, increasing the likelihood of foreign interference, Even casting doubt on whether he will accept the results of the election. That’s not what presidents do. That’s what autocrats do. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We're gravely concerned Congress appears to be the target of a foreign interference campaign that seeks to launder & amplify disinformation. We're urging the FBI to provide all Members a defensive counterintelligence briefing before August. Americans decide American elections. https://t.co/UuNT9AZ093 — PolitiTweet.org

The best time to get every American a face mask and explain why it’s important to wear it was in March. The second best time is today. My Masks Work Act will get everyone masks and educate the public on why they can help crush this virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone in the White House who is trying to cut funding for states to do testing and tracing, Or wants to cut funding for the CDC, May not need help getting tested themselves (they get all personal tests they want), But they should have their heads examined. — PolitiTweet.org

We are all devastated by the loss of our friend John Lewis. Unfailingly kind and quick to smile, with a presence that radiates still. The conscience of the Congress. John, you did good, and taught generations what good trouble truly means. We’ll keep fighting in your honor. https://t.co/x3t1ZFZG8h — PolitiTweet.org

Federal officers wearing camouflage, using unmarked vans, arresting and detaining peaceful protestors, over the objections of local authorities, isn’t “law and order.” It’s the exact opposite. And it’s un-American and unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

This is how democracies die. When party leaders tolerate lies and deceit to cover up for a president of their party. When they refuse to defend their own institution. When they care about nothing but the perpetuation of their power and office. When they become Kevin McCarthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Far from draining the swamp, Trump put the swamp on the White House payroll. A gun lobbyist turned White House lawyer helped lift the ban on gun silencer sales to foreign buyers, enacted by the State Department to protect U.S. troops abroad. Swamp level today: dangerously high. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Shutting down is a difficult decision, but @GavinNewsom is right to do so given the surge in COVID-19 infections across California. We all must do our part to slow the spread and save lives by social distancing and wearing masks. We must act now, or things will only get worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Let's review Trump’s comments on COVID-19: The virus is “very much under control." It will disappear “like a miracle." “Anyone that wants a test can get a test." “Slow the testing down.” “I don’t take responsibility at all." And the result? 135,000 Americans are dead. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The pandemic is getting worse, not better. Without action, unemployment benefits and aid to small businesses may end soon. It doesn’t have to be this way. Republicans need to stop stalling. We must step up testing, get people masks and support Americans hanging on by a thread. https://t.co/pmD4HU73QN — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Anyone who cares about the rule of law is nauseated by this commutation. Stone lied to Congress, intimidated a witness and obstructed to cover up for Trump. And about what? The Trump campaign’s scheme to use Russia-hacked emails. Sadly, Republicans couldn't care less. https://t.co/dUZhURPHZQ — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Commuting Roger Stone’s sentence is a terrible blow to justice and the rule of law. Through this act, Trump is saying: “If you lie for me, if you cover up for me, if you obstruct for me, I will protect you.” Another tragic day for American democracy. https://t.co/kgIXpc6HdG — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump just commuted Roger Stone’s sentence. Stone lied and intimidated witnesses to hide Trump’s exploitation of the Russian hack of his opponent’s campaign. With Trump there are now two systems of justice in America: One for Trump's criminal friends and one for everyone else. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The dismissal of Michael Flynn's case reeks of political influence. Judge Sullivan is right to ask for a full appellate court review of the decision that would force him to dismiss Flynn's case. This is one more chance to vindicate the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump has used the courts to bully and avoid accountability his entire life. His consistent goal is not to win, but to delay. Including now. We need legislation requiring expedited consideration and enforcement of congressional subpoenas. For Trump, and for future presidents. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

No one is above the law, not even the President of the United States. Nor are they immune from congressional oversight or criminal investigation, no matter how much they endeavor to delay or evade them.

A letter to Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman: Right does not matter to Donald Trump. But it matters to you. It matters to this country and to its people. It will always matter. And with those words, you have left an indelible mark on our nation’s conscience and history. https://t.co/sysJxdRQpU — PolitiTweet.org

People under 35 are increasingly testing positive for COVID-19. But we can slow the spread – by wearing masks. Many young people around our community are showing the way, by wearing masks, social distancing, and urging neighbors to do the same. Masks work. Masks save lives: https://t.co/4hSdFQyB4L — PolitiTweet.org
