.@MarkWarner on today's Facebook news: “Today’s disclosure is further evidence that the Kremlin continues to exploit platforms like Facebook to sow division and spread disinformation, and I am glad that Facebook is taking some steps to pinpoint and address this activity."
And here's @SenatorBurr to reporters just now: "I'm not sure that this will be the last thing [unintelligible]." He says he was briefed on it.

(If someone got the last part of that quote, let me know!)
.@RepAdamSchiff: "Today's announcement...demonstrates what we've long feared: that malicious foreign actors bearing the hallmarks of previously-identified Russian influence campaigns continue to abuse and weaponize social media platforms to influence the U.S. electorate."
And here’s @RonWyden: “Vladimir Putin is apparently determined to hijack Americans’ outrage against Donald Trump and his administration for his own purposes: weakening America and ensuring that his corrupt dictatorship can act with impunity around the world…"
Longer statement from @SenatorBurr doesn’t explicitly tie the influence campaign to the Kremlin but says: "The Russians want a weak America."
