Not only does this raise serious concerns about #Whitaker’s current actions as Acting Attorney General, but it also calls into question @TheJusticeDept’s ethics procedures to assess & address potential conflicts of @realDonaldTrump’s nominee to be Attorney General, William Barr.
Acting Attorney General #Whitaker’s decision to ignore the advice of career DOJ ethics officials to recuse himself from oversight of the #MuellerInvestigation indicates that @TheJusticeDept’s internal ethics procedures have failed. https://t.co/fQNhN46ffZ
#Republican credibility check: what if Obama had done exactly this? https://t.co/spt3ZAd0oA
The hits just keep on coming. Another criminal investigation in Trumpland. For some people, honesty is just not a natural state. https://t.co/p47wGSeCSC
The bipartisan #JJDPA legislation passed the House! This bill updates our juvenile justice laws so we can get more kids back on track & out of the system for good.

After 73 5-4 wins for #Republican interests, Roberts and Kavanaugh step back from #74, despite other Republican appointees rarin’ to deliver. https://t.co/DQNqdjBseb
We still remember the hero Lafayette, and the perfidious Benedict Arnold, after 240 years. Why would the Iranians forget this? https://t.co/oZr4VpSv1Y
I only deconstruct my desk for very special people like the late Sen. Claiborne Pell. I was honored to share the floor with @SenJackReed to celebrate what would have been Pell’s 100th birthday. Now if only this desk was as easy to put together as it was to take apart…. QT @SenWhitehouse: https://t.co/IqQtFNhT6O)

I’m deeply saddened by the reports out of Pittsburgh this morning. My heart goes out to the victims of this horrific violence, and I am grateful to the first responders in the scene.
And the findings bolster what we are hearing from economists: that #climatechange puts us on course for an implosion of coastal property values as well as trillions in stranded fossil fuel assets. #IPCCReport
The bill included language based on my Drone Operator Safety bill to make it a criminal offense to interfere with aircraft using a drone or fly a drone near runways.
I'm proud my work on the bipartisan Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act will help make passengers more comfortable, make our skies safer, and possibly lead to cheaper and cleaner air travel. https://t.co/BIAaIsvaRY
Glad that the bill included my provision requiring the FAA & @NASA to review research on technologies fuels, and designs to boost aircraft fuel efficiency.
I worked with @SenBlumenthal & @SenMarkey to include our provision requiring the @FAANews to stablish minimum dimensions for passenger seats on airplanes.
