Two years ago, Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. Since then, “maximum pressure” has brought us to the brink of war and Iran has shortened the breakout time for a nuclear weapon. No amount of spin can save this disastrously failed policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Barr dropped the case against Flynn. Here's what that means: If you're a friend of the president, then justice doesn't apply to you. And yet, it doesn't change the facts, or that Flynn committed a serious crime, and pled guilty to it. Twice. You can't gaslight history. https://t.co/QfESgqMZOS — PolitiTweet.org

Over 70,000 Americans dead. More than 20 million newly unemployed. No national testing and trace strategy. What was the President’s message to the nation this morning? That I am “dirty” and “going down.” I have said he’s unfit for office, and every day he proves me right. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

By dropping the case against Flynn, the Justice Dept lost 50 years worth of ground in maintaining its independence post-Watergate. Once again, Bill Barr is doing Trump's dirty work. And once again, Barr has undermined the legitimacy of our justice system and the rule of law. https://t.co/lUuRoqFqeD — PolitiTweet.org

Someone close to the President tested positive for COVID-19, so Trump was tested. This is why it’s vital to observe good practices like social distancing and masks. The virus is no respecter of persons. Anyone can get it. We need test and trace for all — not just the president. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s campaign invited Russian help, made full use of it, then covered it up. Then, Trump sought more illicit help from Ukraine, leading to his impeachment and a bipartisan vote to convict. Read just released transcripts from our Russia investigation: https://t.co/NdE68xDBCW — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts. His lies do not now become truths. This dismissal does not exonerate him. But it does incriminate Bill Barr. In the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history. — PolitiTweet.org

Ahmaud Arbery, just 25 years old, was gunned down while jogging in his own neighborhood. Despite the existence of a video, neither attacker has been arrested or charged. An all-too familiar story. Everyone deserves justice and due process under the law. Ahmaud’s life matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We need to listen to the experts and follow their advice, not punish them for speaking the truth. Even when the truth is politically inconvenient — or it contradicts the story Trump would like to tell. Lives are at stake. We have to get this right. — PolitiTweet.org

It is no surprise Kushner's coronavirus response effort is disorganized, ineffective, and lacking experienced personnel. But fast-tracking requests from his well-connected cronies, while tens of thousands of Americans die? There is no limit to the incompetence and malfeasance. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The virus didn’t magically go away as Trump promised, so he: Blames Democrats, governors, and the press. Blames his own Intelligence Community and even Dr. Fauci. And he tells us he will accept no responsibility as tens of thousands die. Trump is the President of victimhood. https://t.co/mplUKm2uuU — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, Trump used Lincoln’s legacy as a political prop. But presidents don’t earn a place in history by proclaiming greatness. They rise to the occasion by taking responsibility, trusting experts and acting in public interest. Americans want accountability, not backdrops. — PolitiTweet.org

On #WorldPressFreedomDay I am thinking about Jamal Khashoggi’s friends and loved ones, including his fiancée Hatice. Jamal was a @washingtonpost journalist who was murdered by Saudi agents for his criticism of the Crown Prince. In his memory, we must protect press freedom. https://t.co/rTgoPh1REB — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump’s purge of Inspectors General continues, as he removes the one who reported critical shortages of protective gear in hospitals. Trump will not allow the truth to be told, and that will cost more American lives. After 60,000 deaths, the silence of Republicans is shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump asserts a high degree of confidence that the virus originated at a Wuhan Lab. I haven’t seen the basis for this and have requested the Intel Community provide it, if it exists. The virus has cost the lives of scores. We must not overstate what we know and what we don’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I’m not sure what a “very, very strong” death total means, But over 60,000 lives lost is a tragedy almost unmatched in American history. It‘s nothing to be proud of. For grieving families, friends, and communities, this statement from the President is more salt in the wound. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Misinformation is dangerous. Misinformation about public health is deadly. I sent a letter to the CEOs of @Google, @YouTube and @Twitter urging them to proactively inform users when they've interacted with medical misinformation. They can help save lives. https://t.co/WTEFFr31TB — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

At least 60,000 Americans are dead due to coronavirus. One million have been infected. They aren’t just are numbers. They represent loved ones, families, and communities that are devastated. We will get through this, but we cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the toll. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

This paints a devastating picture: Angelenos from lower-income neighborhoods are dying of Coronavirus at a rate FOUR TIMES higher than the rest of the county. We must increase testing and access to care — everywhere, now. And when COVID is behind us, we must build back better. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We’re not going to allow Trump to withhold relief funds from states that protect immigrant families. That he would even try to extort states by using vulnerable people as leverage during a crisis of this magnitude confirms what we’ve known all along: The cruelty is the point. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud of all the artists in my district bringing joy to these difficult days. Let's start the day with a little light from these young performers at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music: https://t.co/1TK90D4VGu https://t.co/vXjHwQW6nY — PolitiTweet.org

Was there ever a man born to so much wealth and privilege, Given every advantage and opportunity life has to offer, Placed in a position to wield immeasurable influence, Who has squandered it all so thoroughly? Always the victim, never the leader our country deserves. https://t.co/8HHaC6Ervq — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a disturbing echo in Trump’s coronavirus response. From eschewing pandemic preparedness and oversight to demanding praise, Trump acts in his personal political interest, not the national interest. Because a man with no moral compass will never find his way. https://t.co/Z6M4p8ZS5Z — PolitiTweet.org

More than 100 years ago, the Ottoman Turks murdered 1.5 million Armenian men, women and children. Each year, we commemorate their memory on April 24. And this year will be the first since the Congress officially recognized the Armenian Genocide. We will never again be silenced. https://t.co/2wgYAwRyJp — PolitiTweet.org

A week ago I asked whether it was responsible to carry Trump’s nightly stream of consciousness on live TV. Today, he suggested drinking or injecting disinfectants or “sunlight” to kill the virus. So I will ask again: What value is there to this spectacle? — PolitiTweet.org

Hospitals across the country and around the world need more ventilators. So the team at @NASAJPL designed a simpler, easy to make ventilator. It’s already been tested in New York City, and soon may be mass produced. Their ingenuity will help save lives. — PolitiTweet.org
