Facts matter, especially when it comes to nuclear programs. Under the deal, Iran is subject to extensive inspections and monitoring, and the Intelligence Community assessed they were complying, and not exceeding limits on enrichment— Until you left the deal with no plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Acosta gave Jeffrey Epstein, serial abuser and child sex trafficker, a sweetheart plea deal. Now the full costs of this miscarriage of justice are coming to light—and Trump "feels bad" for Acosta. Yet again we see: In Trump's world, money talks—and women and girls don't matter. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is going to court today to dismantle the entire ACA. Again. Pre-existing conditions, Medicaid expansion, staying on parent’s plans. All. Of. It. We’ll fight in the courts. We’ll push to expand coverage for all Americans. We won't let the GOP roll back all our progress. — PolitiTweet.org

No one: The entire world: Mike Pompeo: How can there be human rights we possess simply by virtue of our humanity? Are we really endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights? Let's form a commission to investigate the real crisis of our times: too many human rights. — PolitiTweet.org

The “special relationship” we have with the British isn’t dependent on whether they say nice things about President Trump. It’s based on values and mutual interest. This is true of our other allies as well. And thank God for that, or we’d have few allies left. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s no surprise Barr doesn’t welcome Mueller’s testimony: Barr misled the public about Mueller’s report, and wants his own deception to stand. The public has a right to hear the truth, from Mueller himself, about Trump’s misconduct and ongoing national security risks. — PolitiTweet.org

Were it not for the dogged investigative journalism of the @miamiherald and others, Jeffrey Epstein might never have faced consequences for decades of abuse. A free press is and always will be integral to holding power and wealth to account. — PolitiTweet.org

This weekend, CA experienced its two strongest earthquakes in 20 years. Let’s make sure we’re prepared for the next one. Every Californian should have an earthquake kit and family plan. And we need to keep funding the ShakeAlert early warning system in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a start: Let’s create rules treating every person humanely. Let’s reinstate aid to Central American countries. Let’s use cheaper, more effective ways to monitor asylum seekers, not detain them. Trolling me won’t change a thing, Senator — but standing up to Trump will. https://t.co/SvCt2aQwN3 — PolitiTweet.org

In Washington, DC, Trump celebrated Swamp Day by: 1.) Making July 4th an ode to himself; 2.) Diverting $2.5 million in Park funds to pay for it; 3) Taking $750,000 in fireworks from a donor; and 4) Postponing tariffs on China the same day, as the donor wanted. Happy 4th! — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 https://t.co/mV1x3E3w5W — PolitiTweet.org

No showers. Standing room only cells. Children taking care of babies. Officers instructing migrants to drink toilet water. Trump has no plan to fix this, and no desire to do so. The cruelty is the point. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

In 2019, this shouldn’t have to be said, but: Immigrants are human beings. And no human being should be forced to drink toilet water — Especially not by an officer of the United States government. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Foreign policy is not a photo-op. It’s not reality TV. It takes hard work, planning, and perseverance. Since Trump first met Kim, North Korea’s nuclear program has grown. Now, he has again aggrandized a ruthless dictator, for nothing in return. He has been played by Kim. Again. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The Trump doctrine: Accept Kremlin denials of election interference over your own intelligence agencies. Repeatedly. Cover up for the Saudis, even when it comes to murder. Cave on China. Bash longstanding allies like Japan. Praise strongmen, not democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

As Robert Mueller said, Russian interference in our democracy should concern every American. But not the President, apparently, who thinks it’s a joke. And if we don’t act to secure 2020 against further inference, Putin will have the last laugh. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

BREAKING: The House just voted to safeguard our elections. The SAFE Act will: 🗳️Replace outdated & vulnerable voting equipment 📝Mandate paper ballot voting & post-election audits 💻Create strict cybersecurity requirements for voting systems 2020 is coming. Let’s be prepared. — PolitiTweet.org

We know the purpose of adding a citizenship question to the Census: to suppress participation in immigrant communities for partisan reasons. Today, five Supreme Court Justices saw through the Trump Administration's pretext. For now, the integrity of the census is preserved. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Whether the President warns Putin against interference in our next election is not a private matter between Trump and Putin. It is a national security imperative and critical to deterring further Russian meddling. That is, without question, the business of the American people. https://t.co/i7OAPyVAVL — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The President says a war with Iran would be over very quickly. And he doesn’t need an exit strategy. The war in Afghanistan has been going on for eighteen years. How about putting an end to that war instead? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Robert Mueller has agreed to testify before Congress pursuant to subpoena. Russia attacked our democracy to help Trump win. Trump welcomed and used that help. As Mueller said, that should concern every American. And now, every American will get to hear directly from Mueller. — PolitiTweet.org

Lauren Geoghegan was my constituent and interned in my office. Our community, and people across the globe, continue to mourn the terrorist attack that took her life. Lauren and Jay are remembered for their courageous and unfailing belief in the goodness of humankind: — PolitiTweet.org

Under Trump, ethics, press freedom, human rights — including the lives of U.S. residents — are up for sale. For the right price, the U.S. will look the other way when nations commit the most egregious human rights abuses. Even the brutal murder of a journalist. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Let’s check Mike Pence’s claims: Cleaner air and water. FALSE. — More polluted air days during Trump's first two years in office than any of the four years before. Lower emissions. FALSE. — U.S. carbon emissions went up 3.4% in 2018. Wrong, Mr. Vice President. And wrong again. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

While the President made the right last-minute decision to call off the strike against Iran, the lead-up to this point over the last two years has been predictable, and disastrous: https://t.co/JGVO7wjcLc — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The Trump Administration argues that the current treatment of detained children is perfectly acceptable. Why don't they spend a week at a facility sleeping on a concrete floor with an aluminum blanket and see if they still find it so consistent with American values? https://t.co/yQKkrykBox — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump Administration by the numbers: - Presidential visits to Trump properties: 126 - Revenue from federal officials and GOP campaigns: $1.6 million - Free publicity for a struggling business: Priceless. - Concern for ethics: Zero. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

According to Trump: 30 minutes before attack was launched, he asked about casualties. 150 deaths. Not proportionate. Not authorized by Congress. Deeply escalatory. How is it possible this could have advanced so far WITHOUT Trump knowing the likelihood of so many casualties? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Today, a group of us met with the President on Iran. We urged him to de-escalate tensions and avoid miscalculation. Iran wants to drive a wedge between the U.S. and our allies. We shouldn’t let them. I also reminded him: there’s no congressional authorization for war with Iran. — PolitiTweet.org
