At #CAPIdeas, when asked about combatting Russian interference, @RepSpanberger says simply: “do I think we’re doing enough about it? No.” 
The United States is not the only country facing Russian interference. The difference, @AmbassadorRice says at #CAPIdeas, is that European leaders are taking the problem seriously while the American president tries to sweep it under the rug.
“The president likes to say he never invested in Russia, but Russia invested in him!” -@johnpodesta at #CAPideas
Here at #CAPIdeas, @RepAdamSchiff says to @AriMelber that “this administration is engaged in a wholesale cover up.”
More Schiff at #CAPIdeas: “I hate to call Bill Barr the Attorney General, I think he serves as the personal attorney for the president”
@AriMelber asks about deepfakes and disinformation campaigns. @RepAdamSchiff says if this is deployed by Russia - or anyone else - the current landscape of media polarization and rejection of truth means it would be harder to combat.
At #CAPIdeas this morning, discussed some of our ideas for a tax bill that would have actually put more money back in the pockets of American workers and fixed some of the broken incentives in our economic system.
First, the Patriot Corporation Act: this bill would cut taxes for corporations that commit to staying in the US, to hiring in the US, and to providing good wages and fair benefits for workers. brown.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
Then there's the Corporate Freeloader Fee: if you pay your workers what their work is worth, you get a tax cut. But if you choose to pay people so low that they are forced onto government assistance, you have to reimburse taxpayers. brown.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
