I’ve worked on 3 impeachments in my life:
-Nixon resigned in disgrace
-Clinton apologized to the nation & repented
-Trump says his behavior was “perfect,” keeps trying to cheat our elections, & says he has a right to abuse his power

That’s why we must #DefendOurDemocracy

Executive privilege cannot be used to prevent a witness who is willing to testify from appearing, and certainly not one who no longer works in government. It’s not a gag order. And witnesses testify on national security all the time.

Bolton has a right to testify if he wants to. twitter.com/kylegriffin1/s…..

Democracy in #HongKong is under threat by the Chinese government.

Today, the House of Representatives stands w/ #HongKongers by reaffirming U.S. commitment to their rights & suspending crowd control equipment sales to the police who are brutally targeting peaceful protesters. https://t.co/vNw7SlJsWn

Last month, @HouseDemocrats voted in support of democracy in #HongKong. Today, the legislation passed both chambers of Congress.

The rights of #HongKongers are being violently repressed. This cannot be ignored. Anyone who cares about human rights should #StandWithHongKong twitter.com/RepZoeLofgren/…..

It is with honor & determination that I accept this responsibility to fulfill my oath of office to hold the president accountable as an impeachment manager alongside @RepAdamSchiff, @RepSylviaGarcia, @RepValDemings, @RepJeffries, @RepJerryNadler &
@RepJasonCrow. (1/3)

The House passed @RepKenBuck’s and my bipartisan bill to make our visa system fairer for skilled immigrants legally working in the US. #HR1044 has 200+ Dem and 100+ GOP cosponsors. If @POTUS is serious about merit-based legal immigration, he should help usher this bill into law. https://t.co/exFT9W9BhZ

Simply acknowledging #HumanRightsDay today isn’t enough.

China is undermining freedoms for #HongKongers + others. Saudi Arabia killed a US journalist w/impunity. Our Border Patrol has let children die in custody.

Rights are under threat around the globe. We cannot be silent. https://t.co/NBNGMpxri3

Though I haven't posted since Wednesday's horrific riot, I have been organizing an investigation to hold the perpetrators accountable & I have signed on to a privileged resolution for impeachment. Trump incited this & he's a threat to the security of our country.

Per-country visa caps hurt the American economy—preventing U.S. employers from staying competitive—& hurt families.

I've introduced the bipartisan EAGLE Act w/@RepJohnCurtis to move toward a better system.

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks @tim_cook for urging the Senate to pass our bipartisan bill. twitter.com/tim_cook/statu…..

It’s well-past time to restore our democracy.

@HouseDemocrats are passing #HR1 – the most ambitious anti-corruption & clean elections reforms in a generation.

We are fighting tirelessly to return power back to the American people!

Thursday’s hearing was only the beginning of the @January6thCmte presenting our findings to the American people.

This morning, we will uncover the Big Lie perpetuated by the former President w/ new details & testimony.

📺 Tune in: 10am ET/7am PT 📺

I plan to swiftly & thoughtfully work with my colleagues to resolve outstanding issues & get a measure across the finish line that can pass both Houses of Congress.

America’s elections are at the very core of our democracy. We must do all we can to ensure they truly represent the will of the people. Proud to know we’ve taken important steps in protecting our national security with passing the #SAFEAct last week. https://t.co/IhZO9NKFn0

This week, as we honor the U.S. Capitol Police officers who made tremendous sacrifices on January 6, 2021, let’s remember that they did not *just* protect Members of Congress & the Vice President, but they also protected our democracy.

Yesterday the Senate passed an amended version of the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act.

While I recognize the sincerity of all Members struggling to find solutions, unfortunately the provisions sent to the House by the Senate most likely make matters worse, not better.

It's official 👇

@HouseJudiciary is starting an investigation into the Trump Admin’s "Remain in Mexico" policy, which threatens the health & safety of legitimate asylum seekers, including women, children, & families.

I urge my colleagues to vote to refer Mark Meadows to the DOJ for contempt of Congress.

No one is above the law.

Trump’s campaign shared internal polling data with a Russian operative & the Russians then used Facebook’s geographic targeting features to hit Americans in specific locations with political ads.

⤴️ This info sharing should be illegal.

It would be with my #SHIELDACT. https://t.co/za1oOSpxh4

You're more likely to die in a space travel incident than be killed by a refugee terrorist in America: ind.pn/2jk0lLt..

ICYMI: @HouseJudiciary passed the EAGLE Act.

This bill will help make our broken immigration system fairer & benefit the U.S. economy. https://t.co/7JuPvS68WQ

There is no basis in law for the President’s claim that his aides don’t have to testify before Congress. @HouseJudiciary will hear Mr. McGahn’s testimony, even if we need a court order to enforce our subpoena. https://t.co/iUatzbdJgy

Mueller will #FollowTheFacts - but that's not enough. To #ProtectOurDemocracy we need indpt commission to give Americans the truth.

On the anniversary of Jan. 6, I'm thinking about the oath I swore to “defend the Constitution of the U.S. against all enemies, foreign & domestic.”

Every Member of Congress should affirm that oath today by committing to uphold the truth & prevent future coup attempts. https://t.co/vW4zxuxOCz

Tonight I voted to refer Steve Bannon to the DOJ for prosecution for contempt of Congress for defying the @January6thCmte’s lawful subpoena.

The American people deserve the truth, not obstruction. https://t.co/9R4NSmDkTT
