Our democracy is not for sale. We must stop the flood of dark money from drowning out the voices of everyday citizens. That's why I just introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and restore power to the American people. https://t.co/YNYzb35uSf — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell says it’s “case closed,” even though Mueller found substantial evidence Trump broke the law. That’s like saying the Watergate hearings should never have taken place. Or that crime doesn’t matter when committed by a president of your party. It matters. — PolitiTweet.org

One year ago, Trump introduced a cruel and inhumane family separation policy. Today, far too many families remain separated. And the children may bear the trauma of separation for decades to come. Trump’s policy will be remembered as a tragic stain on our nation’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

Executive privilege can’t be used to hide illegal conduct. The President and his lawyers know that. This is a desperate attempt to rewrite the rules, continue stonewalling Congress, and try to hide the President’s unethical conduct from the American people. It won’t work. — PolitiTweet.org

Great news: U Wa Lone and U Kyaw Soe Oo have been released after over a year in prison for their reporting on Myanmar’s genocide against the Rohingya. Until every journalist is freed, and none fears retribution for reporting the truth, we must fight to protect press freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Add Treasury to the list of Trump Administration agencies ignoring the law to defy Congressional oversight. And make no mistake: Republican silence makes them complicit in this lawlessness. It also means that future presidents can engage in corrupt conduct without constraint. — PolitiTweet.org

Gold Star families are now paying thousands more in taxes each year thanks to Trump's tax cut for corporations and the wealthy. Just joined @RepElaineLuria on legislation to fix this grave injustice against American families who have made the ultimate sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Mueller decided it wasn’t fair to say if Trump would've been indicted for obstruction if not for DOJ policy prohibiting it. Speaking as a former prosecutor, the case is clear: there's more than enough evidence for charges. Hundreds of prosecutors agree. https://t.co/nlQD4hgCfY — PolitiTweet.org

Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing a peaceful and joyous Ramadan to Muslim communities in Southern California and across the world. May this holy month of prayer and fasting bring meaning and fulfillment to all who observe. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Today, Trump announced he is opposed to Mueller testifying before Congress. Before the American people. He also opposes letting McGahn appear. Barr’s testimony alone — designed to protect Trump — isn’t going to cut it. They will testify. The American people deserve the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

First, Trump got the GOP Congress to vote to repeal the ACA. They failed. Repeatedly. Now, Trump has asked the court to dismantle the entire ACA, threatening the health of millions. We will fight in Congress, the courts, anywhere we need to protect your health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Bolton called out Russia for propping up Maduro’s regime and said it would cost the Kremlin. Pompeo doubled down. Now, Trump has cut their legs out from under them, saying Putin “is not looking at all to get involved in Venezuela.” Tell that to the Venezuelan people. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

As the leader of the free world, the United States has a duty to speak out on behalf of journalists who risk their lives to report the news. The truth must not, and cannot, be silenced by a censor, a prison cell or a bullet. @RepSteveChabot and I on #WorldPressFreedomDay: — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Barr misled the country about an investigation implicating the President. Then he lied to Congress. Then he did something worse: He effectively said that the President of the United States is above the law. That makes him the second most dangerous man in America. He must go. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The 2020 campaign is already in full swing and Trump just told Putin, the man behind the most serious cyber attack on our democracy ever, that he believes it was all a hoax. Once again, he betrays our national security and for what? Nothing more than his own vanity and delusion. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Ever wonder what happened to the “counter report” Rudy Giuliani said he would issue after Mueller’s own report came out? Apparently, it was only four pages long. And Barr released it for him. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

This Yom HaShoah, as we mourn the recent attack on a California synagogue and the 11 worshipers murdered in Pittsburgh last fall, we remember the millions of Jews and others murdered in the Holocaust. We ignore the lessons of the Holocaust at great peril. Never Again. — PolitiTweet.org

After watching Attorney General Barr’s tortuous explanations for a long list of misrepresentations, it’s clear: Barr views himself as Trump’s lawyer, not America’s lawyer He was hired with an agenda to protect Trump And Barr, like his boss, is grossly unfit for the office — PolitiTweet.org

I am shocked & saddened by the passing of my former colleague, Ellen Tauscher. Ellen was a consummate public servant for California and as a nuclear arms negotiator in the Obama Administration. Her thoughtfulness, wisdom & compassion for the less fortunate will be sorely missed. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Attorney General Barr should resign. He misled the American people with his inaccurate summary of Mueller’s report. Then he misled the Congress when he denied knowledge of Mueller’s concerns. How can he be trusted to impartially administer justice? Short answer: He can’t. https://t.co/aJpxHj1mc6 — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Barr’s answer to @RepCharlieCrist, denying knowledge of Mueller’s concerns over his summary, was deliberately false and misleading. If he were an ordinary citizen, it might be considered perjury. As our top law enforcement official, it’s even worse. He must step down. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Now it is confirmed Mueller objected to the “context, nature, and substance” of Barr’s misleading summary of the report. And the false public narrative it allowed the White House to create. No one can place any reliance on what Barr says. We need to hear from Mueller himself. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The frivolous lawsuit filed by Trump to block necessary oversight isn’t designed to succeed, only to put off meaningful oversight as long as possible. Following the money is necessary to ensure U.S. policy is driven by the national interest, not Trump financial interests. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Powerful words from Rabbi Goldstein, who survived the shooting at his synagogue in Poway, CA. May we all be inspired by his resilience to combat the rising tide of hatred and violence that has turned too many houses of worship into sites of tragedy. https://t.co/TbfL8heHeX — PolitiTweet.org

828 days. 10,111 misleading or false claims. Including 45 falsehoods in 45 minutes on Sean Hannity. Donald Trump may be the most deceitful president in U.S. history. It is hard to know for sure. But this much is clear: his attack on truth is corrosive to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I was inspired to run for office by leaders like Richard Lugar whose work on nuclear nonproliferation made the world a safer place. It was an honor to work with him for years, on press freedom and other issues. One of the last true statesmen, his decency will be sorely missed. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Another despicable and violent act of anti-Semitism — this time at a synagogue in Poway, California at the end of Passover. We must act to end the scourge of gun violence and come together against the disturbing rise of violent hatred across the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

By removing the signature of the United States from the Arms Trade Treaty, Trump joins the ranks of Russia, North Korea & Syria and again retreats from US leadership on an issue of national security and human rights - this time to placate the greed and self-interest of the @NRA. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Two years after Charlottesville, Trump still stands by his comment that there were “very fine people on both sides” of the Nazi & white supremacist rally. By doubling down, Trump demonstrates again how those unable to condemn hate & the violence it inspires are not fit to lead. — PolitiTweet.org
