I would also like to thank the journalists who put their lives at risk to provide information. Thank you, brothers and sisters, for this service that allows us to be close to the tragedy of that population and enables us to assess the cruelty of a war. #Ukraine#Peace

I am devastated to share news that my dear friend and cofounder of the @NEWSHOUR Jim Lehrer died today at home. Sending love to his Kate and their family. https://t.co/ZxNsCcaZBj
The press has had the right to walk, unfettered, through those doors and others to witness public sessions of the Senate since the 18th century. Tomorrow, there will be a police officer and a magnetometer in our way for the 1st time ever.
This is a bad idea
A reminder: Press access to the Senate chamber is crucial because the televised images of the trial are controlled by Senate authorities. No photography is allowed. Therefore, witnessing the trial unfettered in its entirety is a foundational right of the news media.
More ridiculous press restrictions on Capitol Hill today.
Reporters are being blocked from accessing the Senate chamber during the impeachment managers’ walk-through this morning. TV cameras aren’t allowed to shoot any video outside the Senate chamber as the managers enter/exit.
What is particularly galling to me as a member of the committee is that the Sergeant at Arms @SenateSAA refused to meet with us or identify concerns that led to some genuinely head-scratching and insulting decisions such as a magnetometer to enforce an existing ban on electronics
The Standing Committee of Correspondents vigorously objects to restrictions being considered on press access during the upcoming Senate trial of President Trump.
I represent more troops than any other member of this body. I buried one of them earlier today at Arlington.
If our servicemembers have the courage to fight and die in these wars, Congress ought to have the courage to vote for or against them.
I��m voting for this resolution.
