Someday, our grandchildren will ask what we did in the face of a President who so blatantly abused his office and endangered our national security, who so clearly believed he was above the law.
For far too many of my colleagues, their answer — shamefully — will be:
Nothing.
When Olivia Newton-John's iconic black leather jacket from the movie "Grease" sold for $243,200 last month, she probably thought it was gone for good. But the buyer, who described himself as her number one fan, had other ideas. https://t.co/gqpRx3N7t7

Our work #ForThePeople continues.
There are more than 275 bipartisan, House-passed bills sitting on @SenateMajLdr McConnell’s desk waiting for a vote in the Senate.
And in the coming days, the House will pass legislation to protect voting rights and lower drug costs.
The do-everything House has passed 275 bipartisan bills this year. So if Americans want:
✓Lower prescription drug costs
✓Background checks
✓Voting rights
✓Fair pay
✓Equality
✓Climate action
and more, ask Mitch McConnell when the do-nothing Senate is going to act.
‘The committee, still investigating the impeachment scandal, in this letter, is warning Vice President Pence explicitly tonight: By the way, remember you can’t declare something to be classified just to keep it from being exposed as a crime.
🤔William Barr’s daughter in law has a job at FinCEN, and his son in law at the WH. Victoria Toensing and DiGenova’s son, Brady, is working at the DOJ... Trump’s kids & son in law and Giulianis son are working at the White House... Their parents are corrupt...WTF is going on⁉️
“U.S. churches are costing tax payers $71 billion a year.”
Most of these big churches are nothin’ but right-wing superPACs. The IRS needs to tax them like any other business and take some of the load off hard-workin’ taxpayers. https://t.co/owXez6r9G6
Trump says we’re meeting with the Taliban and discussing a ceasefire.
The only problem? Nobody knows what he’s talking about because it’s not happening.

"Trump is a businessman. We can just pay him money and the problems will be solved," said a politically connected person in Beijing. "As long as we have money, we can buy him. That's the reason why we prefer him to Democrats." https://t.co/psi3d4ukWm
Laura Cooper just testified Ukraine may have learned as early as July 25 — the same date as Trump’s call with Zelensky — that there might be a problem with the military aid Ukraine was counting on.
That’s new.
"FBI counterintelligence officials were particularly concerned about the claims — detailed in the whistleblower’s complaint — that the president’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani and two of his associates may have been manipulated by Russian interests."

@VaNaturalGas I think it’s really shitty that my gas that heats my house and provides hot water to my family has to wait until Weds to have our gas turned on! This monopoly with the the power and gas companies! My family has not had hot water to shower in a week! #HappyMOMOday
Sen. Tim Kaine: "We won on the maps that the Republicans drew back in 2011. On their maps, we did something that we haven’t done for a quarter century."

Wtf! How does the FBI Director not know if Giuliani, who is closely tied to pro Putin mafia for decades, have security clearance? This is extremely disturbing and dangerous considering some of @RudyGiuliani mafia associates have been arrested recently
