In honor of Veterans Day, here's the story of Navy veteran J.R. Starr, who contacted my office for help with the Department of Veterans Affairs. I am committed to ensuring that our local veterans can access their VA medical benefits and get the support they deserve. https://t.co/6WcHKAiHhR — PolitiTweet.org

First, Republicans objected to private depositions, even though almost fifty of their members could attend. Now, they don’t want public hearings. The only consistency— They don’t want the American people to learn the truth about the President’s serious misconduct. — PolitiTweet.org

We just released testimony of Lt. Col. Vindman and Dr. Fiona Hill, two patriotic public servants. This is first-hand testimony on how the levers of government were abused to help the president politically, at the cost of our national security. Read: https://t.co/B2Ann0FN0T — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s why George Kent matters: He and his colleagues recognized the impropriety of Trump’s Ukraine pressure campaign to undertake politically-motivated investigations. He corroborates testimony from numerous other officials, and he documented it. Read: https://t.co/KcE7JEuBdm — PolitiTweet.org

Ambassador Taylor's testimony reveals how, through a shadow foreign policy channel, Trump withheld military assistance and a White House meeting from Ukraine until Ukrainian officials agreed to announce investigations to help Trump politically. READ: https://t.co/zCrAznro4U — PolitiTweet.org

Next week, the House Intelligence Committee will hold its first open hearings as part of the impeachment inquiry. On Wednesday, November 13, 2019, we will hear from William Taylor and George Kent. On Friday, November 15, 2019, we will hear from Marie Yovanovitch. More to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Our Founders understood that someday, a president might come to power who would abuse the office for personal gain and endanger our national security. They understood that Congress would need to consider a remedy like impeachment. Tragically, that day has come. — PolitiTweet.org

Testimony from Sondland and Volker demonstrates: ➡️Trump used a White House meeting and military aid to pressure Ukraine to publicly announce political investigations. ➡️The pressure campaign came at the expense of our national security. ➡️And it got more insidious over time. https://t.co/NMZt2XRHDk — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Transcripts from Ambassadors Sondland and Volker show the progression of Trump's efforts to press Ukraine into the service of his own personal political goals, in what Sondland described as a continuum of insidiousness. Read the transcripts: https://t.co/HqqUNl25H2 — PolitiTweet.org

For over a year, I resisted calls for an impeachment inquiry, knowing it is a remedy with serious consequences for the country. But the evidence we've uncovered of the president's abuse of power has made that inquiry a necessity. We will do our duty. https://t.co/ThTCiXOliY — PolitiTweet.org

Trump just officially began the process of pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement. With the effects of climate change apparent all around us — and getting worse — history will remember this as one of the most destructive actions of this dangerously destructive president. — PolitiTweet.org

The White House excuses keep changing. First it was: the House hasn’t held a vote. Then, a claim of immunity never upheld by a court. Now they want their lawyers to participate, which is against the rules Republicans wrote. It doesn’t add up—except as evidence of obstruction. https://t.co/Td5eDbMZOt — PolitiTweet.org

Amb. Yovanovitch is a dedicated American diplomat who was forced from her position after a vicious smear campaign orchestrated by the president’s allies. Today, we’re releasing her transcript, and that of another committed public servant, Amb. McKinley. https://t.co/1y8beUdeLr — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The president continues to target public servants, including those who have served their country in combat, with baseless attacks. Efforts to intimidate or threaten witnesses will further build the case for obstruction, itself an impeachable offense. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Soon, the American people will see new evidence of the President's abuse of power. Every Member of Congress will have to answer: is soliciting foreign interference in our elections acceptable? The answer must be no. Americans decide American elections. https://t.co/zgzKFqz16l — PolitiTweet.org

✔️Nearly 50 House Republicans can attend every deposition and interview. ✔️Republicans have had equal time to ask questions. ✔️Today’s resolution uses the same rules as the Nixon and Clinton impeachments The process attacks have failed, because facts still matter. https://t.co/sDQ8veCgiY — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The President’s misconduct makes today’s impeachment resolution necessary. To honor our oath to the Constitution. To honor the rule of law. To hold this President accountable. And show that nobody is above the law. Not even the President of the United States. https://t.co/AYH2Gmo7Gt — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump has urged Republicans to focus on the substance in the impeachment inquiry, not the process. I can confirm our focus will continue to be on the President’s own words and misconduct. Glad we all agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The House just voted to recognize the Armenian Genocide – a vote I fought for 19 years to make possible, that tens of thousands of my Armenian American constituents have waited decades to see. We will not be party to genocide denial. We will not be silent. We will never forget. https://t.co/R8Ex2lqYEb — PolitiTweet.org

RT @KimKardashian: Today, the House of Representatives is voting on H.RES. 296 which would recognize the #ArmenianGenocide. This is persona… — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President, I’m grateful to our armed forces and intelligence professionals who did such a brilliant job of eliminating this brutal terrorist from the battlefield, and focused on the continuing fight against ISIS. I would encourage you to do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

This week, we're voting to establish the format for open hearings that will be conducted as part of the impeachment inquiry. The American people will hear firsthand about the President's misconduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Nearly 50 Republicans can participate in the depositions. They have seen the call record and heard Mulvaney’s admission of the President’s abuse of power. They heard testimony from Bill Taylor and others. Republicans can spuriously attack the process. While we expose the truth. https://t.co/iSXB4cvZ0I — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I understand why Trump doesn’t want more witnesses testifying. But I can’t understand why my GOP colleagues are enabling his obstruction. Where is their duty to this institution? Where is their duty to the Constitution? Where is their respect for the rule of law? https://t.co/mXuLQxJ6mK — PolitiTweet.org

The death of ISIS leader al-Baghdadi is great news. A bloodthirsty killer has been brought to justice. Our profound thanks to the brave service members and intel officers involved. This is not the end of ISIS and the struggle will go on. But with one less murderous thug. https://t.co/gJf00rWGjX — PolitiTweet.org

The White House’s stonewall continues to crumble. A judge just confirmed the House has a right to Mueller grand jury materials. No one is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

This has been years in the making, thanks to the tireless advocacy of those who insisted the US must never be a party to genocide denial. I hope all Members join me next week in voting to recognize the Armenian Genocide. We will never forget, and we will never be silent. — PolitiTweet.org

Ever since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013, far too many Americans—especially people of color, students and low income voters—have had their voting rights under attack. The right to vote is foundational to all other rights. We’re fighting to protect it. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Today, Laura Cooper did her lawful duty and answered questions from both parties. She did so notwithstanding efforts by the President to stop her, and when those failed, efforts by his GOP allies in Congress to do the same. We will not be deterred from revealing the truth. — PolitiTweet.org
