Trump and his campaign’s illicit contacts with a hostile foreign power, and later efforts to obstruct justice, were not ok. Not by a long shot. When Mueller’s report is finally released, Americans should pay attention to the evidence in the report, not just its conclusions. — PolitiTweet.org

The casual suggestion by the nation’s top law enforcement officer of “spying” may please Donald Trump, who rails against a “deep state coup,” but it strikes another destructive blow to our democratic institutions. The hardworking men and women at the DOJ and FBI deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, the FCC rolled back #netneutrality, allowing internet providers to slow down or speed up content, benefitting large corporations at the expense of individuals and small businesses. Just voted for the #SaveTheNet Act to make sure the internet is open equally to all. — PolitiTweet.org

In two years, post-Watergate rules have been obliterated. After Trump, a president under investigation can: Fire the FBI Director leading the probe, Fire the Attorney General not protecting him, and appoint one who will. It’s the most profound attack on rule of law in decades. https://t.co/cgPbCfcWWq — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Bill Barr asked what we have to worry about if the ACA is struck down. How about: - Loss of coverage for 20 million Americans - Gutted protections for preexisting conditions - Fewer benefits and higher costs Yes, Mr. Barr, we do think that's outrageous. You should too. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Today we learned: Barr still won’t commit to giving Congress the full unredacted Mueller report, Barr won’t request court approval to give us grand jury material, and Barr won’t even say if the White House has seen, or been briefed on, the report. Trump got his Roy Cohn. — PolitiTweet.org

A quick update on our national security leadership: Defense Secretary: Vacant. DHS Secretary: Vacant. UN Ambassador: Vacant. FEMA Director: Vacant. Secret Service Director: Vacant. ICE Director: Vacant. DHS Deputy: Vacant. President: Present, but unaccounted for. — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Nielsen’s policies were cruel and unconscionable. A generation from now, we will still recoil at how America separated children from their parents and put them in cages. But make no mistake, a change in personnel is pointless — the problem comes from the very top. — PolitiTweet.org

When a President lacks character, strong oversight is essential. House Republicans seem to think as long as you ca… https://t.co/w5xlsTq6fo — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the House voted to end U.S. support for the war in Yemen. We cannot continue to support a war that has caused untold suffering for Yemenis. A diplomatic solution is the only resolution to this humanitarian disaster, and I hope the vote today is a step towards peace. — PolitiTweet.org

The Attorney General’s repeated justifications for withholding grand jury material — instead of seeking court approval to release it — simply don’t add up. We fought to ensure Mueller could finish his work. And we will fight to ensure Mueller’s report is not buried. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

After two years in which the GOP refused to provide any check on the executive, Congress is now performing badly needed oversight. We will do whatever is necessary to protect the public from conflicts of interest. The law is clear. IRS must comply with @RepRichardNeal’s letter. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump said Mueller’s report should be released. House voted 420-0 to release it. But now Trump and his congressional allies are changing their tune. They don’t want the public to see the full report, only parts of it. That’s not going to fly. Barr must release the full report. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

If the President does not understand that NATO is the most successful security alliance in history, Congress does, and we won't abandon our democratic allies or our treaty commitments. Proud to escort NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg into the House chamber today. — PolitiTweet.org

The House voted 420-0 to release the full Mueller report to the public. The American people overwhelmingly support the same. What are you afraid of, Mr. President? — PolitiTweet.org

Doing what the Constitution requires and counting every person is not “meaningless” and it is surely not a “waste.” Including a citizenship question will only suppress participation and, inevitably, result in inaccurate data. But, of course, that’s exactly why you want to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans continue to underestimate @AOC at their own peril. Watch her cut them off at the knees when the GOP claimed the environment is an elitist issue. There is nothing elitist about wanting clean air, clean water and a livable planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Barr auditioned for the job with a memo saying a president cannot obstruct justice. Last weekend, Barr did the job he was hired to do, and attempted to exonerate the President on obstruction. The American people must see the full Mueller Report, not a biased summary. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Bad: Trump is unaware of new sanctions on North Korea when they are issued by his own administration. Worse: Trump undos sanctions via Twitter because he “loves” Kim. Are you kidding me?: Administration concocts and spreads a false story to cover up all of the above. — PolitiTweet.org

If you thought Trump was done trying to cancel coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, think again. DOJ just asked a court to strike down the entire ACA, which would cost 30 million Americans their insurance — meaning fewer benefits and higher costs for almost everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Horrified by the most recent rocket attack on Israel by Hamas from Gaza which struck a home near Tel Aviv and injured seven, including young children. Hamas’s acts of terror against Israel cannot go unanswered, and we stand with our Israeli allies in condemning these attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Mueller did not find sufficient evidence to establish conspiracy, notwithstanding Russian offers to help Trump’s campaign, their acceptance, and a litany of concealed interactions with Russia. I trust Mueller’s prosecutorial judgement, but the country must see the evidence. — PolitiTweet.org
