The Trump Administration’s decision to withdraw from the INF Treaty demonstrates their continuing retreat from United States global moral leadership. https://t.co/TyxZGoJF4P
The withdrawal of America from the world continues unabated.
Ending the INF Treaty is a gift to Russia - allows them to speed ahead with medium range nuclear weapons without the watchful eye of the U.S.. We get no benefit and loads of additional risk.
John Bolton is a nuclear arms agreement hitman. Among his kills:
Agreed Framework with DPRK
ABM Treaty
JCPOA with Iran
INF Treaty
We – and the world – are less safe for it
Colin Powell to @jaketapper in December: "There are a lot of people now saying... The Soviets have been cheating on the INF Treaty, so let's get out... You do that and guess what? The Soviets aren't cheating anymore, because there is no treaty to cheat. It doesn't make any sense"
@CREWcrew@Pooz1969 Time is now to end this free for all Administration, it's grab all you can b4 ship sinks, we are being ripped off in plain sight and Congress just looks the other way. Truth is in the facts and follow the 💰 right to the top, millions $ being made monthly, only prison will end it
A House Democrat is demanding answers about an alleged business deal that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin had with an associate of a Russian oligarch whose companies recently received US sanctions relief. https://t.co/HvLCGhK2Dj
Rep. Jackie Speier explains in a nutshell why Steve Mnuchin should have recused himself from involvement in the sanctions (and lifting of sanctions) on Oleg Deripaska.
Series of conversations with Trump administration officials over last few weeks have underscored how many people working there sometimes forget these are government jobs, not private company or campaign.
In a country that prizes the very ideals of equality, liberty, and opportunity, it is inexcusable that women continue to be paid less than men. Today House Democrats will reintroduce the Paycheck Fairness Act because we demand equal pay for equal work.

Trump interviewed Heidi Cruz for the job of World Bank president but
Treasury’s David Malpass remains the clear frontrunner for the job, sources told me, @amayeda and @SalehaMohsin.

Scoop: Trump interviewed Heidi Cruz for a job this week.
Cruz, wife of Ted Cruz, met in Oval with Trump about the World Bank post.
Trump is picking someone else, though.
Cruz formerly worked for the National Security Council, Treasury Department, Goldman Sachs.
Just finished 3 days of meetings in DC. Possibly the most surprising was my meeting with @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell's office. I have always said it is easy to talk to those you agree with, but must speak with those who you do not agree with. My concerns were heard.
The American people delivered control of the House to Democrats. What does that mean? No more stupid hearings about Hillary's emails
Instead, next Wed @HouseJudiciary will hold a hearing on gun violence. Next Thursday we will pass HR8 on background checks.
