The Senate could stop these insane tariffs on Mexico tomorrow morning. It won’t. We haven’t had an open amendment process or a real floor debate in ages. We should legislate and act like a coequal branch of government. — PolitiTweet.org

“I oppose tariffs on Mexico but I don’t think we should actually vote to oppose them” is a perfect encapsulation of the Senate under Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

The climate plans from the major presidential candidates are aggressive and ambitious and equal to the scale of the problem. We will (appropriately) argue over the details over the next year but this is a solid foundation that recognizes that there isn’t time for half-measures. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

Today the Trump admin is going to explain their trade policy to Senate Republicans at lunch and I don’t think they are going to be happy. To push back they are going to vote YES on more judges. — PolitiTweet.org

I just saw the clip of the President who appears to be in golf shoes at church. Here’s the thing: The Trump administration is trying to gut the healthcare law in federal court. — PolitiTweet.org

If you act like that you are not actually a friend of the progressive movement. And I don’t think anyone should have to explain it to you. — PolitiTweet.org

Between the raiding of MilCon for the wall, the DPRK missile test, the USS McCain, and what’s happening in multiple locations in the Middle East, the Department of Defense needs to resume its habit of having regular press conferences. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

It’s still unclear what happened. Did the WH advance team give orders directly to the 7th Fleet? I don’t want to play twenty questions with DOD. They just need to explain exactly what happened. One time. The whole story. Publicly. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

Tariffs are taxes. CO2 is not a “molecule of U.S. freedom.” Science and scientists are essential. Climate change costs billions. The citizenship question on the census was added to undercount nonwhite people. Young people will change the world if they show up next year — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

The President is unilaterally imposing the equivalent of a 17 billion dollar sales tax which sounds not very free market-y to me but I guess MAGA is like a wand you wave to make all of your previous principles disappear. — PolitiTweet.org
