The El Paso attack by a white supremacist is only the most recent in a growing trend of domestic terror, fueled by racism and hate. It’s time for the law to catch up. We should create a narrowly-tailored domestic terrorism law that protects civil liberties. Here's my bill: — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Administration’s management of the federal government is rife with incompetence, paranoia and politicization. The damage at the State Department will be felt for decades, but more importantly, so will the damage to America’s security and standing in the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Not content to provoke division at home, Trump now enlists our allies to do so abroad. Denying Reps. Omar and Tlaib entry to Israel and the West Bank is short-sighted and wrong. Israel does itself no favors by allowing itself to be used in Trump’s poisonous electioneering. — PolitiTweet.org

This video is a testament to the rapid advancement of deepfake technology. But beneath the humor, the nearly-imperceptible shifts between faces reveal an undeniable fact: It’s now harder than ever to discern fact from fiction. And that poses a serious threat to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Immigration raids in Mississippi result in even more children separated from their families. Right on the heels of the El Paso shooting which targeted immigrants. And now, a new rule to cut legal immigration. Trump thinks racial politics is good politics. Let’s prove him wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

My heart breaks for California Highway Patrol Officer Andre Moye and his loved ones. A routine traffic stop ended in tragedy after an extended shootout. We thank our CHP officers who risk their lives every day to provide us with the highest level of safety, service and security. — PolitiTweet.org

The bald eagle is the proud symbol of our nation. Should it become extinct, it will be a tragic symbol of our selfishness and greed. The Endangered Species Act helped rescue the eagle from its plight, but now that law is being weakened. For Trump’s donors and allies. For money. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump brings conspiracy theories from the darkest corners of the internet to the Oval Office. Lies about Obama's birth, JFK’s death, or now, that the Clintons are responsible for murder... Trump has lied over 12,000 times. He’s the most dishonest president in our history. — PolitiTweet.org

As police violence in Hong Kong increases, so does the danger of an even more deadly crackdown on protestors. Congress stands with protestors seeking freedom, even if our president is silent. To Chinese authorities: The world is watching. Human rights must be respected. — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump's “official statements” vs. his honest thoughts: He “officially” calls for unity, but blames the media via tweet. He “officially” expresses sympathy for El Paso victims, but implicitly blames and links the shootings to immigration. Trump is fooling no one. https://t.co/DlzsX7Pj5Q — PolitiTweet.org

A contagion of cowardice inflicts the GOP in Congress. Many express their private misgivings about the President's racist and incendiary words. But when it comes to gun violence and the rise of white supremacist ideology— Private misgivings aren't good enough. We need action. https://t.co/lz0ccsJ8fv — PolitiTweet.org

Barr demonstrates once again that the Department of Justice has become Trump’s personal law firm. Trump's interests are DOJ’s interests. Trump's flawed legal arguments are now DOJ’s flawed arguments. And the public’s interest? Or justice itself? Irrelevant. At least to Barr. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I recently met with @fred_guttenberg, who lost his daughter Jaime in Parkland, to discuss two bills to address the gun violence epidemic: ✅Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act ✅Jaime's Law Since we met, there have been 3 mass shootings. We must act. Now. https://t.co/wmVPRnhncV — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It's not the fault of the press, immigration, or video games. The rise of white supremacist terror has other causes. If Trump wants to end this bloodshed, he must begin by looking inward. Words have power, and this President’s words are inciting horror. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The ugly truth is this: White supremacist terrorism is a real and present danger. When the President and other leaders use racist or dehumanizing language to describe immigrants and Muslims as invaders, angry and isolated men with guns are listening. And acting. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

A second mass shooting in 12 hours. Add Dayton to the terrible list. We don’t need to live like this. We don’t need to let our fellow Americans die like this. The House passed gun violence reforms that will help end this epidemic. What more will it take for the Senate to act? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Shopping malls. Festivals. Movie theaters. Schools. Places of worship. Night clubs. The list is far too long. Our heart breaks for El Paso. For every community torn apart by gun violence. For the children lost. And their parents. The House has taken action. Senate, do your job. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

There are plenty of good reasons to reexamine defense contracts. Personal animosity is not one of them. And when tied to First Amendment issues, it’s all the more dangerous. Crony capitalism meets Trump censorship. Mattis wouldn’t stand for it. Neither should Esper. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It began with Trump’s vilification of Muslims and immigrants. Then he defended “fine people” at a Nazi rally. Then he encouraged chants of “send them back.” He demonized communities of color. Now, he celebrates a crime against a Member of Congress. Where does it end? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Yes, Mr. President. Mueller said it. We all believe it. Your intelligence agencies believe it. Experts believe it. The guy you just got off the phone with, Putin, believes it. He’s doing it. And if you won’t do something about it, at least get out of the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We need bold action on climate change. Now. That means everyone needs to get on board to combat global warming. Everyone, including the @USChamber and @ShopFloorNAM, must stand up and support a clean energy economy. #ChamberOfCarbon — PolitiTweet.org

“Mitch McConnell is a man who knows less about Russian influence than Donald Trump, and I know nothing.” - Donald Trump But Trump knew exactly how to use Russia’s help. And by blocking election security bills, McConnell knows just what he’s doing: Inviting more meddling. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The White House may have blocked Dr. Schoonover from submitting his testimony on climate change when I invited him to @HouseIntel, But Trump's dangerous climate denialism won't change the facts: Climate change poses a serious danger to national security that we can’t ignore. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Nothing says “America first” like outsourcing nonproliferation policy to the Gulf. Nothing says “drain the swamp” like Trump’s business partner doing the outsourcing. All the more reason why we need to fully investigate Trump’s financial entanglements with Saudi Arabia and UAE. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Gilroy, CA is the latest American community struck by the tragic epidemic of gun violence. We must honor the victims by finally taking action to enact commonsense gun safety reforms. Assault-style rifles have no place on our streets. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I want to thank Dan Coats for serving as Director of National Intelligence with such distinction. He has been a great advocate for men and women of the Intelligence Community, and a good leader. Most important, he has had the independence and strength to speak truth to power. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Mueller's testimony was chilling: The Russians never stopped their election interference. They're doing it as we speak. Voting begins in just 8 months. There is a real danger under this President that accepting foreign help will become the new normal. That must never happen. https://t.co/27ONb0WCiJ — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Robert Mueller was clear: Russia interfered in our election to help Trump. Trump's campaign welcomed and used this illicit help. They never reported it to the FBI. Instead, they lied about it to investigators. And used those lies to obstruct justice. https://t.co/EVfYRrfn8p — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands took to the streets today in Moscow to demand democracy. Putin responded with arrests and violence. It’s a reminder that there’s nothing authoritarians fear more than the people. The United States must always stand with those seeking freedom. — PolitiTweet.org
