As an American, I'm horrified @realDonaldTrump continues to defend swamp monster @EPAScottPruitt. As a Dem, I'm also horrified. But part of me is jumping for joy. Keeping such an awesomely corrupt, arrogant & paranoid Cabinet official is another unforced error that helps Dem wave https://t.co/nwh5n59ztc
A Republican with subpoena power untethered to Trump because he isn’t seeking re-election and eager to define himself beyond Benghazi is not an especially pleasant development for the WH. https://t.co/f9rlI2jWuw
My Latest—> Trump wastes troops on imaginary border wars while abandoning our winning fight against ISIS. The bizarre Trump Doctrine. https://t.co/igmtX8FLmN
Today, I joined 64 of my colleagues calling for the resignation or firing of Scott Pruitt. His unethical behavior, wasteful use of taxpayer money, and efforts to undermine the EPA’s mission to protect our environment and public health demand a response: he must go. #BootPruitt
Another Pruitt problem: Scott Pruitt got a sweetheart mortgage from a banker friend, then later hired him at EPA when he was banned from the banking industry.

One person died tonight at Trump Tower in a fire on the 50th floor. I would expect the fact that the upper floors do not have sprinklers is going to be the subject of some scrutiny in the coming days.

Melania married a whore. She married for money in the grandest of traditions. She’ll have earned what’s left of the Trump “fortune” in relatively few years. https://t.co/1Jq3FRvzEA
Videos from this latest chemical weapons attack by Assad against civilians in Syria distinctly bring to mind the types of effects we saw in the 2013 Ghouta attack, which involved neurotoxins.
Again it is all the small Pruitt scandals that are cited; but remember the big scandal — the man is fundamentally corrupt and is running our national environmental agency for the benefit of the polluting fossil fuel industry.

Here’s the thing about @realDonaldTrump’s #tariffs, they don’t hurt him. His family Still benefits. It hurts you. We should do all we can to punish China for cheating. He’s just the wrong person to do it. And this is the wrong way. https://t.co/iK9GoHbapc
Trump isn't just indifferent to ethics; he's hostile to ethics. That's created an "anything goes" culture that allows Pruitt to fleece taxpayers, flout personnel rules and exploit conflicts of interest. My conversation with @maddow https://t.co/EQN4Z3V3ZU
