As Russia continues to escalate this crisis, I am leading a U.S. Congressional Delegation to Munich to stand with our allies that have helped ensure peace in Europe since WWII. I hope to find common ground on climate issues & work to reign in international corruption.
Gerrymandering at its worst because Supreme Court at its worst said political gerrymandering cases were “non-justiciable” despite lower court cases finding “justiciability.” https://t.co/guxihiwahI
Easy to spot: significant unexplained difference between statewide vote and delegation make-up (i.e. 50/50 and 13-5). Plus trial discovery showed redistricting mischief in plain view.
Easy to repair: approve maps, with benefit of doubt to those drawn by bipartisan commissions. But big R donors told them to back off, via front-group “amicus” briefs, and they obliged. #CapturedCourt

It’s no surprise that drug traffickers exploit countries with a weak rule of law. That’s why @SenGrassley and I urged President Biden to include the @ONDCP in an interagency review to help craft a government-wide strategy for fighting corruption.

The vast majority of Americans think the government has no right to restrict a woman’s reproductive freedoms. Conservative dark money groups couldn't sway enough voters, so they used the Supreme Court to impose their ideology, instead. Here's how it works. https://t.co/HxicadbhHl
