At this critical time, Katherine and I were inspired to join thousands for the Women’s March in D.C. as we united to call for equal rights, justice, and opportunity—and for the Senate to conduct a fair trial. Stopped in front of the Trump Hotel to call for witnesses. https://t.co/TkBxpZ6xbv
A President who turns to Fox talk show hosts over the Comptroller General of the U.S. for his legal opinions and gets it both substantively and literally backwards—they broke the law and it’s GAO, not GOA. QT @realDonaldTrump: “The GOA got it exactly backwards. Here’s what they said. The law does not permit the President to substitute his o… https://t.co/KqAkBoKTc6)
This is fundamentally untrue. Trump’s Justice Department is currently pushing the courts to strike down ALL protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions. It’s been a malign plot from the start and we will fight back. https://t.co/POmlwPlqNw QT @realDonaldTrump: I stand stronger than anyone in protecting your Healthcare with Pre-Existing Conditions. I am honored to have termi… https://t.co/w63r7auD1W)
If true, this is a flagrant violation of our obligation as a host country for the United Nations. Maybe President Trump wants the @UN HQ to move to Moscow? https://t.co/sPEdl5zQXd
To my Republican colleagues: How do you want to be remembered by history? As senators who fulfilled their constitutional duty to conduct a fair trial? Or as public servants who put partisanship before public trust and sought to bury relevant evidence? https://t.co/FEVyQa1TZo
Patriots like Marie Yovanovitch, Laura Cooper, George Kent, and David Hale exemplify the integrity and excellence of our nation’s 2.1M federal workers. Our civil service system is a national treasure, and it’s up to us to defend it from political attacks. https://t.co/Aj6qjj0eaK

The NDAA is being finalized now and it must include the DETER Act. We know Russia is interfering with our 2020 elections, and the Senate unanimously voted to include key elements of our bill in the NDAA. I'm heading to the floor to urge action. https://t.co/IvIn1ZK8WP

My bill with @SenatorJohnKennday is straightforward: It requires Chinese companies registered in the U.S. to play by the same rules as every other company. It's one of many noncontroversial and bipartisan bills just sitting in the Senate Banking Committee. Let’s vote. https://t.co/NgIp3Eop9N
Today I was privileged to speak at the #VeteransDay event hosted by the Baltimore City Veterans Commission. As we honor those who served our country in uniform, we must match our words with deeds. Leave no soldier behind on the battlefield and no veteran behind here at home. https://t.co/jSMAe4I2Tt
Obvious question: If Trump team’s had nothing to fear or hide, why did they try to bury this information? Obvious answer: They knew this was evidence of wrongdoing and abuse of power. So they added another possible impeachment count—coverup. https://t.co/ebVN9aWsOI
From the start, the Syrian Kurds have been with us in the fight against ISIS. But because of Trump’s decision, they're now being slaughtered while ISIS terrorists escape. Congress must act. Tune in as @LindseyGrahamSC and I discuss our sanctions bill: https://t.co/6uYMBEmRtd

We can all agree that a Highway to Nowhere makes no sense. I helped secure a provision in this year's infrastructure bill to remove abandoned infrastructure dividing communities in places like Baltimore and replace it with things like pubic parks that bring people together.

Congressional Republicans want to make climate change a partisan battle. But when I’m in the state, people of all political stripes see the impacts of this crisis. This #EarthDay, I’m asking that you talk to your friends about why we can't wait to act. https://t.co/wi0nwujGHw

How can @RussVought45 say rebuilding our infrastructure is a priority for President Trump, when the reality is that their budget cuts @USDOT by at least $50 billion and the Highway Trust Fund by $146 billion? https://t.co/FA9WjtTwIV
Bringing the C&O Canal Headquarters to Williamsport is a win-win for the park and the Williamsport community. This agreement is the product of years of discussions between local, state, and federal partners, and I’m pleased we could work together to make this proposal a reality.

It has been a nearly year since @BrianSchatz and I sat down to discuss the Equifax breach—yet not much has changed. @SenateDems have introduced multiple bills to hold credit reporting agencies accountable but the GOP has refused to take action.
