As a former teacher, I cannot say this strongly enough: school re-openings must be based on science - NOT
@realDonaldTrump
's polling numbers or his ego.
Bill Barr lied about the census, distorted the rollout of the Mueller Report, and now refuses to recuse himself from the Ukraine investigation.
"Ethical standards...mean nothing in this administration" is a gross understatement.
Sickened by the latest revelations regarding Brett Kavanaugh's sexual predation. Those who voted yes on his nomination betrayed the women of this country and we learn more of the depth of that betrayal with every new detail & allegation.
I’ve just been arrested at the Supreme Court protesting the horrendous overturn of Roe v Wade.
This is the time to stand up, speak out, and not shy away when seeking justice and equality.
Trump's July 4 event will feature donated fireworks from an Ohio retailer who lobbied the WH against expanded tariffs on Chinese imports, ABC reports.
The day of the donation, Trump decided to hold off on tariffs on Chinese goods, which include fireworks.
This President is so weak that not only does he need foreign help to run elections, he enlists his entire administration to subvert the Constitution and save his own skin.
Mike Pompeo should know better than to obstruct Congressional oversight. Shame on him.
Armed protest is inherently intimidating; it's meant to provoke fear and threaten those with an opposing view.
Thank you,
@GovWhitmer
for standing strong against those who threaten the safety and health of those you serve.
#MichiganProtest
There is nothing more patriotic than standing up, at great personal risk, to tell the truth about a President's abuse of power.
Lt. Col. Vindman is a patriot and a hero.
#ImpeachmentTrials
This is unreal and an obvious bias.
The person screening Judge Kavanaugh's records worked for him in the White House and didn’t disclose it. This isn’t just a blatant conflict of interest, it’s more corruption from the Trump White House
Thoughts. Prayers.
Mass murder has become routine and so have our responses.
I am sad and I am angry. It is in the Senate's power to pass - or even just vote on - the common sense gun control passed by the House.
DO IT ALREADY!

Once more for the bigots in the back: Puerto Rico is part of the United States, and Puerto Ricans are AMERICANS.
That this happened to Jose should infuriate us all.
When I passed the Debbie Smith Act (funding to DNA test backlogged rape kits) , I had no idea it would become the "most effective anti-rape legislation in America."
It MUST be re-authorized.
OVERJOYED & relieved my colleagues in the House, in a STRONG bipartisan vote, passed the Debbie Smith Act. Ensuring rape kits are tested means justice for survivors & stopping future attacks.
POTUS can insult Congress all he wants. The House is getting things done

22 months of work.
$30M spent
2800+ subpoenas.
500 witnesses.
37 people indicted.
7 convictions/guilty pleas
...and all we get is a 4 page summary?
Give me a break!
Barr must release the FULL Mueller report.
The House has passed 230+ bills and sent them to the Senate. Tell

plan! Call Mitch: 202-224-2541
He asked the Russians. He asked the Ukrainians. He asked the Australians. He asked the Chinese. Who knows how many other nations were on the receiving end of his abuses of power.
A President who can't win re-election without foreign help is no President at all.
#ImpeachmentNow
In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!
Still dumbfounded that my GOP colleagues skipped out on the

It's like they don't even care.

protected a pedophile and rapist who was trafficking children. He granted immunity to Epstein's co-conspirators. And he failed the young girls who relied on the system to protect them.
He needs to resign. Now.

If you didn't want to be associated with "the ugly word, Impeachment," maybe you shouldn't have tried to use America's international clout to investigate a political opponent.
#AbuseOfPower
#ExposeTheTruth
I never in my wildest dreams thought my name would in any way be associated with the ugly word, Impeachment! The calls (Transcripts) were PERFECT, there was NOTHING said that was wrong. No pressure on Ukraine. Great corruption & dishonesty by Schiff on the other side!
Consider this: More Americans have been killed by gun violence since 1968 than all U.S. wars.
I’m introducing legislation to not only allow research on gun violence, but directly fund it. Understanding data is one of our most important tools to save lives.
I first called for impeachmemt back in June. These latest revelations re: POTUS and Ukraine are absolutely outrageous - they take impeachable offenses to a whole new level, and emphasize the urgency for IMMEDIATE action.
WHEN WILL THIS END.
Tell Mitch McConnell: we are FED UP with schools being hunting grounds. Put common-sense gun reform on the Senate floor for a vote, NOW:
#GunControlNow
#SantaClarita

ABSOLUTELY revoke their tax-exempt status. They're also costing us common-sense gun reform, 40,000 lives a year, & a quarter of a trillion dollars in negative economic impact. No way should taxpayers be shouldering that.
Two years ago today, Heather Heyer was murdered by a white supremecist in Charlottesville.
In her honor and for so many others, we will keep fighting against the forces of hate.
#HeatherHeyer
"As soon as I said you should have a new election ... all of a sudden they announced a winner ... did they do something for the opponent?" -- Trump thinks the fact that Carolyn Maloney was declared the winner of her Democratic primary is a conspiracy against him
We now have multiple victims coming forward to share their stories about
#Kavanaugh
A culture of assault and predatory behavior appears to be taking shape.
Judge Kavanaugh should be removed from consideration.
My e-mail of this morning directed to Mr. Davis, Chief Counsel for Nominations for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. The American people deserve to know the truth and evidence regarding the allegations. There must be no effort made to avoid it.
NY-12 has some of the finest medical schools and hospitals in the country; I'd like to invite these lawmakers to visit any one of them for a lesson in basic reproductive biology.
Because they clearly need it.
Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history.
Let me be clear: In all my years as a public servant and member of congress, I have never seen anything as blatantly treasonous as Donald Trump’s performance this morning... he reached a new low for himself. What will McConnell and Ryan say?
LOL thanks!
This coat means a lot to me.
I'll be wearing it until the House passes our bill to

Bill Barr is a contemptuous liar who has already shown he has no respect for Congress or the Constitution.
He shouldn't be in office, let alone anywhere near the

It is inconceivable to me that
@SenateMajLdr
is saying his colleagues think it's OK to ask foreign governments for assistance in winning our elections.
You swore an oath. Keep it.
In the 36 months that Trump has now been in office - the US economy has added 6.940.000 jobs.
Not bad!
But in the last 36 months of the Obama administration - the US economy added 8,053,000 jobs.
Much better.

The White House wants to shut down a special FBI unit that investigates people within the US accused of committing war crimes, human rights violations, & brings to justice those who commit atrocities against Americans overseas.
Congress must reject this.
Trump's betrayal of the Kurds is a blood-soaked smear on our country's very soul.
May the world somehow forgive us for his decision to abandon our Kurdish allies to Turkey's attacks.

We need masks. We need protective equipment. We need testing kits. We need ventilators. And we need a lot of them. Fast.
In short, we need a national mobilization of industry to produce supplies to fight

. Immediately.
The Trump administration has just urged the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that firing an employee simply because they are gay is perfectly legal. The request comes in the form of a 34-page amicus brief, which was not required, but voluntary.
The President has blocked Congress in our Constitutional duty of oversight over & over again. Now he's blocking the whistleblower who knows he violated his oath.
My colleagues & I take OUR oaths seriously. & we will do what we must to defend this country.

Following reports that Trump kept highly classified information at Mar-a-Lago, Adam Schiff & I are calling on Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines for an immediate review and assessment of damage.
No one is above law.
Risk death, or lose your right to vote.
That's the choice SCOTUS has given the people of Wisconsin.
Those who ruled in favor of the Wisconsin GOP will have American blood on their hands.

If you can't do the research, don't write the bill. Women's lives are at stake when legislators take this kind of misogynistic, ignorant approach to their jobs.
Across the country, women’s rights are under attack.

Disgraceful.

The lack of transparency in Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings is a disservice to the American people! When Justice Kagan was nominated by President Obama, 99% of her records were released & put into a online database. Let’s hold
