Trump just fired the Inspector General overseeing the relief package. And threatened another who reported PPE shortages. Inspectors General are charged with doing independent oversight and exposing corruption. Their job is to uncover the truth. Exactly why Trump fears them. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's conduct at his coronavirus “briefings”—spreading misinformation, contradicting medical experts, and attacking reporters—demonstrates both a lack of leadership and why we need real oversight. His decisions now are a matter of life and death. Accountability matters. https://t.co/xWEndr0Jdt — PolitiTweet.org

A powerful message from Inspector Gen. Atkinson after his retaliatory firing: “The American people deserve an honest and effective government. They are counting on you to use authorized channels to bravely speak up... “Please do not allow recent events to silence your voices.” https://t.co/J6lCRHDSeJ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump just admitted firing Inspector General Atkinson as retribution. “He’s a total disgrace.” Actually, he abided by the law and the complaint was spot on. Someone who follows the law and their conscience is no disgrace. A president that fires him, he’s the disgrace. — PolitiTweet.org

In the midst of a global pandemic, with thousands of Americans dying, what is Trump doing? Retaliating against perceived enemies. Putting cronies in charge of oversight. And gutting the independence of the intelligence community. All to hide the truth. He will not succeed. https://t.co/vJLRwH1Jnt — PolitiTweet.org

After being caught trying to cheat in the next election, Trump opposes vote by mail over concerns about “cheating.” Nonsense. He prefers making voting dangerous for millions of Americans if it helps his re-election. Every American must be able to cast a secure ballot by mail. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump’s dead of night decision to fire ICIG Michael Atkinson is another blatant attempt to gut the independence of the Intelligence Community and retaliate against those who dare to expose presidential wrongdoing. It puts our country and national security at even greater risk. https://t.co/Pnm7chdIkl — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It's not too early to conclude a bipartisan after-action review of this crisis will be necessary. To assess what went wrong, what went right, and protect us in the future. The American people deserve no less. I'm circulating a bill to accomplish this: https://t.co/mJddc3ilva https://t.co/I7WI7tV6u1 — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

First, Trump says he alone will do the oversight on billions in relief money. Then, he says he’ll ignore the transparency provisions required by Congress. Now, he says any oversight is a “witch hunt.” But here’s the truth: Real oversight is vital, because incompetence kills. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We're in the eye of the storm now, but we will get through this. And when we do, we'll need to review our Coronavirus response in a nonpartisan fashion to ensure we're better prepared for the next pandemic. I'm working on a bill to establish a 9/11-style commission to do so: https://t.co/2CvokGyX8Y — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We lost precious weeks in responding to the coronavirus pandemic. But it's not too late for us to make the right decisions to slow the spread. A nationwide stay-at-home order. Increasing testing capacity. Investing in vaccine research and development. What we do now matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, we looked at what went wrong to learn from our mistakes. Once we've recovered, we need a nonpartisan commission to review our response and how we can better prepare for the next pandemic. I’m working on a bill to do that. https://t.co/uqO3BwVldN — PolitiTweet.org

A free press is the backbone of our democracy. Local journalism is essential to keeping us informed and holding power to account. But local papers are being stretched by the coronavirus crisis. If you can, this is a great time to subscribe and support your local papers. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

This is how democracies die: When they cede too much power, give in to the decrees of an autocratic ruler, punish dissent, and forget the past horrors of dictatorship. Democratic freedoms must be safeguarded, especially in times of crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

New crisis, same narcissism. The President considers himself the state and finds its interests and his own indistinguishable. But America is so much more than any one person. She is strong, generous and resilient. Everything he is not. That is why we will overcome. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Many Americans are wondering how the $2 trillion funding package will provide real relief. How will it help us weather the impacts of this crisis? How will it help American families like mine? Workers? Small businesses? Here's how this bill can help: https://t.co/KKyP2sblNr — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Whether it’s military aid or ventilators, a foreign ally or an American governor, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: You cannot count on Donald Trump to do what’s right for this country. You can count on him to do what’s right for Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

As usual with “this” president, Donald Trump defects responsibility for his own failures and incompetence. Stop talking about invoking the Defense Production Act — and just do it. How many Americans must struggle to breathe before you act? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We cannot see what course this virus will take. As John F. Kennedy once said, many months of sacrifice and self-discipline lie ahead. But we will rise to meet the challenge. Our healthcare workers already are. To help them and all American families, I voted YES. https://t.co/Xpmv5y6lJ9 — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

This $2 trillion relief package will help American workers, families, and small businesses weather the impacts of this crisis. There's more to do, and we must keep working to protect those who need it most. These are difficult times, but we will get through them. Together. https://t.co/0B3Bx4g5pV — PolitiTweet.org

It can be difficult to discern good coronavirus information from misinformation. To make matters worse, Trump’s briefings are now like rallies, more self-promotion than insight. To help, here’s a valuable summary of where we are and what we know: https://t.co/wvGWpTXrpt — PolitiTweet.org
