Trump has shown us time and time again, He thinks it’s ok to accept assistance from a foreign power, and given the chance, he'd do it again. I’m introducing legislation to make it crystal clear: Accepting help or “dirt” from a foreign agent is illegal. Period. https://t.co/AveyMKoBp6 — PolitiTweet.org

More than 18 years ago, after 9/11, Congress passed an authorization for use of force. Today, the House passed an amendment by @RepBarbaraLee that would finally sunset it. We have a lot of work left to do, but this is a step towards Congress reclaiming its constitutional role. — PolitiTweet.org

Reducing aid to Central America will create more asylum-seekers and more suffering, by worsening the already-dire conditions in their home countries. But then maybe that’s the point: Cruelty is not a byproduct of the policy. It is the policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says we have "the cleanest air in the world." Not so. In fact, air quality is declining for the first time in years. Just as the Trump Administration rolls back the regulations designed to protect us. Some falsehoods are worse than others. This one could give you cancer. — PolitiTweet.org

The evidence of Iran’s attack on the ships is strong. We should be leading an international effort to protect the seas and reduce the risk of conflict. Instead, Trump policies have left us isolated, and the region unstable. The maximum pressure campaign has failed. Maximally. https://t.co/uJcuvaUM3P — PolitiTweet.org

What is the President hiding in his tax returns? And since when does “shall” mean “unless it displeases Trump”? And, perhaps more importantly: What will be left of DOJ’s independence and reputation for impartial justice after Barr? The answer? Very little. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Kevin McCarthy has a lot of advice for Democrats leading investigations of Trump malfeasance. This, from the guy that said the Benghazi committee was a success if it hurt Clinton’s poll numbers. The hypocrisy takes your breath away. He should stick to sorting Starbursts. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Sorry, Mr. President, wrong again. You eagerly took foreign help in the 2016 election and want it again. When a foreign national offered info relevant to our investigation — not election — we informed the FBI before and after the call. It’s called ethics. You should try it. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

When the Russians offered dirt on Clinton in 2016, the Trump campaign enthusiastically accepted. Today, the President made it clear he would do it all over again, saying everyone does it. No, they don't. Trump does nothing if not project his own lack of ethics onto others. https://t.co/T8uZIBkuIK — PolitiTweet.org

The protesters in the streets of Hong Kong are defending basic democratic rights. Efforts by the authorities to crack down on dissent must be resisted by all freedom-loving people. I stand with the protesters in opposing the extradition law, and the violent crackdown. — PolitiTweet.org

Most Americans have not read Mueller’s report. Some may be astonished to learn that a finding of “no collusion,” much less a finding of “no obstruction,” is nowhere to be seen on any page of his report. Here’s what we do know, and what we are working to find out: https://t.co/kNquinghRO — PolitiTweet.org

On Saturday, Russian authorities detained Ivan Golunov, a prominent Russian journalist. Thankfully, today he was released, no doubt due to a solidarity campaign by civil society supporters across Russia and beyond. Stories like Ivan’s prove why we fight for global press freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Beautiful letters don’t stop missile tests. Declarations of love don’t stop nuclear weapons research. Limiting intelligence gathering only blinds us to the dangers. We want results and security, not flattery of our vain president. Kim is playing Trump — and it’s working. — PolitiTweet.org

Victims of gun violence deserve their day in court. Watch as @SenBlumenthal and I, alongside activists with @MomsDemand, @NewtownAction, @bradybuzz & @GiffordsCourage, introduce legislation to hold the gun industry accountable: https://t.co/qmPp8mH9XF — PolitiTweet.org

Denying climate change won’t make it go away. The job of the intelligence agencies is to tell policymakers the truth, not what they want to hear. And that’s what they did, despite White House efforts to muzzle them. We will get to the bottom of this. — PolitiTweet.org

“No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust ... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, ... of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”* *Constitution does not apply to payments at Trump Hotels, with feckless GOP. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Scientific consensus is clear: climate change is happening. Now. The effects are cross-cutting and severe, with real impacts on our national security. Climate change causes resource scarcity, instability and conflict. Watch live as @HouseIntel explores these critical issues: — PolitiTweet.org

30 years ago, tanks rolled into Tiananmen Square. Troops fired on protesters advocating democratic reforms. Countless lives were lost. Today, the protests and brutal suppression are largely unknown in China due to censorship. But we will keep their memory alive. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Appalled to learn of the deadly attacks on peaceful protesters by Sudanese security forces. Sudan's future hangs in the balance. The Transitional Military Council must immediately transfer governance to civilian rule and avoid civil war. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Robert Mueller has one last service to perform, and that is to answer questions for the Congress and American people. There are any number of questions that we have every right, and the American people have every need, to have answered about his investigation and what he found. https://t.co/HyonnrQLwW — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Horrified and heartbroken. Another community devastated, and families and friends in mourning. But we are not powerless. We have begun to act in the House. But those in the Senate who are blocking action and are part of the problem need to be voted out of office. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

If Barr thinks Mueller could have accused Trump of a crime, then SDNY prosecutors should stop being coy about “Individual 1” and announce whether Trump should be charged with campaign finance fraud. Michael Cohen + David Pecker + recording + reimbursement checks = indictment. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It’s always been clear why the Trump Administration put a citizenship question on the 2020 Census: To decrease political representation for immigrant communities for their own partisan advantage. Now there are receipts. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump and Republicans claimed their tax bill would pay for itself. They were a little off. It has paid for... 5% of itself. The rest? More debt. And for what? A tax cut that made the wealthy even wealthier with stock buybacks, but did little for anyone else. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Mueller has one more service to provide — testimony before Congress and the American people. If he wants the public to better understand the seriousness of the Russian interference, and prevent others from misrepresenting his work, duty calls once more. Mueller should testify. https://t.co/7gsmXokcTy — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Mueller confirmed today that Russia engaged in multiple systematic efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. In a rebuke of Barr, he also made clear that because of DOJ policy it is left to Congress—not the Attorney General—to evaluate the president’s misconduct. And we will. https://t.co/FAYSQxFbHp — PolitiTweet.org

You don’t have to be a stable genius to know that restricting scientists from predicting the effects of climate change won't change the fact that time is running out. Burying your head in the sand is not a plan – it’s an abdication of responsibility. — PolitiTweet.org

On this #MemorialDay, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. To our servicemembers, veterans, and their families and loved ones: thank you. https://t.co/FJcXpUjt2M — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Indeed it is. The signal is this: If I flatter Trump and criticize his opponents, I can launch missiles and advance my nuclear program and he won’t do anything about it. How dangerous when a President can be so easily manipulated. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump is personally intervening to award a contract to build his beloved wall to a GOP donor and Fox News guest. He has gone from promises to drain the swamp to a plan to give construction contracts to donors and sycophants. Can we have the old swamp back? This one smells worse — PolitiTweet.org
