Negotiations to end America’s longest war are not a reality show, and an ill-prepared summit — as with North Korea — was not the answer. Let the diplomats do their work. Any peace deal must meaningfully ensure Afghanistan is never again a platform for terrorists who threaten us. — PolitiTweet.org

At community colleges across America, millions of students struggle with food insecurity, and are forced to make difficult decisions like missing class or dropping out to work more. I introduced the #Food4ThoughtAct to help ensure that hunger is not a barrier to student success: https://t.co/FyykH29Qah — PolitiTweet.org

If you believe the DOD just randomly decided to start spending nights at a luxury golf course in Scotland, well, Donald Trump has a rapidly depreciating asset to sell you. Taxpayers aren’t responsible for bailing out Trump’s failing businesses. The corruption is in plain sight. — PolitiTweet.org

It's not enough for the Trump Admin to roll back Obama-era regulations on car emissions. Now, they seek to punish automakers who worked with California to keep our air clean for everyone. Once again, Barr shows that his Justice Dept. works for President Trump, not the people. — PolitiTweet.org

After the El Paso shooting, Walmart has decided it will stop selling military-grade ammunition. Business decisions can have an enormous impact on public safety, and executives have a responsibility to keep our communities safe. Your activism works. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump promised Mexico would pay for his wall. He didn't say military families would pay. Or the cadets at West Point. Or that we'd pay in military readiness. No, he promised taxpayers would never pay the bill for his xenophobic vanity project. Promises made. Promises broken. — PolitiTweet.org

The shooter tried to buy a gun from a registered dealer, but failed the background check. So he bought the gun in a private sale, no background check required. Then he shot 30 people, killing 7. Could there be a more compelling case for why we need universal background checks? — PolitiTweet.org

The right to collectively bargain. A livable wage. Equal pay for equal work. On #LaborDay, we thank those who fought to improve worker's rights and recognize the progress we must still achieve. Today and every day, we commit to building an economy that works for everyone. https://t.co/XRhZ0q77HP — PolitiTweet.org

As we continue to monitor devastating reports from Santa Cruz Island, where more than thirty are still unaccounted for in a fatal boat fire, our thoughts are with the victims and their families, as well as the first responders working tirelessly to find and rescue those on board. — PolitiTweet.org

To all those in Dorian’s path: we're with you, we're praying for your safety, and we stand ready to help in your recovery. As Hurricane Dorian nears Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, my thoughts are with everyone who is bracing for this dangerous storm. — PolitiTweet.org

The FEC was already struggling to police the flood of money in our elections. Effectively shutting it down in the midst of the 2020 elections is the worst form of malpractice. This will only benefit those who use money to corrupt our politics, both foreign and domestic. — PolitiTweet.org

Each time we think we've seen the depths of Trump's cruelty towards migrants, he hits a new low. Deporting people who are receiving lifesaving medical treatment is appalling. This rule is a death sentence for seriously ill migrants — and our values. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Methane poses such a threat to our atmosphere that even major oil companies are calling on Trump to tighten regulations — not dismantle them. Yet Trump ignores scientists, expert advisers — even big corporations. His goal is simple: undo everything Obama did, no matter the cost. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump is withholding vital military aid to Ukraine, while his personal lawyer seeks help from the Ukraine government to investigate his political opponent. It doesn’t take a stable genius to see the magnitude of this conflict. Or how destructive it is to our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump allegedly encouraged federal officials to break the law by promising pardons. But there are limits to the pardon power. This invitation to lawlessness exceeds them. They‘ll be held accountable, if not by this Justice Department, then by the next one. And by history. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We’re experiencing more natural disasters than ever before. Climate change is only making them more deadly. Now, President Trump is taking critical money from FEMA to further his cruel anti-immigration agenda. This is contrary to our values and interests, and endangers us all. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump makes official visits to his own properties and rents rooms to foreign governments. Now, he even proposes a global summit at his Florida resort. And suggests that a “neutral” search identified it as the best venue. There is no limit to his greed — or mendacity. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump has been busy stoking economic instability and division While House Democrats have been busy passing bills to: ☑️Lower health care costs ☑️Raise wages ☑️Secure our elections ☑️Prevent gun violence ☑️Combat climate change Mitch McConnell? He’s been busy doing ... nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

The situation in Kashmir remains deeply concerning, with thousands of civilians still detained without charges and with no access to the outside world. Fundamental human rights like free speech and access to information must be protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Yet again, Trump’s campaign wants foreign help to win an election. Giuliani is Trump’s personal lawyer, acting on his behalf, in his campaign’s interest. Their goal now is the same as 2016: Get dirt on a political opponent. But this time, they can't plead ignorance of the law. — PolitiTweet.org

As long as we are claiming constitutional powers we don't have, I hereby order the President to stop tweeting. — PolitiTweet.org

Russia was kicked out of the G8 because they invaded and annexed part of Ukraine. Then Russia attacked US elections. They used chemical weapons in the UK. Now Trump wants to let them back in. Why reward their behavior? Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one: 💲 https://t.co/71rRyoB5fP — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Admin is intent on making cruelty to immigrants their legacy. They’re now seeking to detain families, including young children, indefinitely in inhumane conditions. The courts should block it. And people of decency and conscience should denounce it. — PolitiTweet.org

Pathetic. https://t.co/pYNJRlRTPN — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President, you clearly know very little about people of my faith. We believe politicizing religious belief like this is dangerous and wrong. We value vigorous debate about difficult issues, not ignorance and bigotry. We value basic human decency. An American value. Try it. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Administration is making it harder and more costly for countless women to receive care by going after Planned Parenthood. Their new rule will reduce access to birth control, cancer screenings, and reproductive choice. Only the latest front in the war on health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Social media platforms and the U.S. government must continue to identify and combat state-backed information operations online, whether they’re aimed at disrupting our elections or undermining peaceful protesters who seek freedom and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Twitter and Facebook announced they found and removed a large network of Chinese government-backed accounts spreading disinformation about the protests in Hong Kong. This is just one example of how authoritarian regimes use social media to manipulate people, at home and abroad. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

As Trump has alienated so many of our key allies, and brought low our standing in the world, Congress must stand up. Was proud to join Nancy Pelosi at the Munich Security Conference and champion human rights. Showing leadership when the president won’t. That’s @SpeakerPelosi. — PolitiTweet.org
