Tomorrow, House Democrats will begin oversight. We've already been filing FOIA requests and will sue to get the documents if the administration tries to stonewall Congress. See what we've filed so far: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
We filed a FOIA to find out if USDA senior official Rebeckah Adcock violated the terms of her ethics agreement by meeting with those associated with her former employer: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
The EPA suppressed a report from the CDC on the health effects of perfluorinated compounds. We want to know if the chemical industry influenced this decision: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…

.@SecretaryZinke is leaving the administration one day before the the new Congress to avoid facing scrutiny. But just because he's leaving doesn't mean we're done investigating: americanoversight.org/our-ryan-zinke…
.@Interior recently classified uranium as a “critical mineral." We submitted a FOIA to find out if the the uranium mining industry influenced this decision — and what impact it could have on national monuments: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
From putting a high school friend with no experience in charge of grants to giving a $300 million contract to restore power in Puerto Rico to a tiny company from his hometown, it's clear Zinke favored personal connection over experience: americanoversight.org/our-ryan-zinke…

Now that the House is investigating, Ben Carson could face real accountability for his son's participation in the Baltimore listening tour, retaliation against an employee who objected to his spending, and Armstrong Williams' role at the agency: motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Ben Carson allegedly demoted an employee who objected when he tried to spend $31,000 on a dining set. Emails we obtained show she was frequently asked about exceeding the $5,000 limit on renovations: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
See our investigation into Ben Carson's leadership at HUD and his family's involvement at the agency: americanoversight.org/investigation/…

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Earlier today, 13 days after he went missing, the good folks at @MiddleEastInst put out the below statement. To the best of my knowledge (though they should correct me if I'm wrong), this is their first public statement on the matter. 2/
Remember, this is an organization that bills itself as "providing non-partisan, expert information and analysis on the Middle East." It is also, according to them, "the oldest Washington-based institution dedicated solely to the study of the Middle East." 3/

I wrote this with @NormEisen in 2016. I plan to fix this in the Senate.
Regardless of what happens Tuesday I'll continue to do everything I can to drive from office every President, Vice President and Member of Congress with financial conflicts of interest
wapo.st/2gc7GQX?tid=ss…
And the best way to fix Trump's financial conflicts of interest is to vote for Democrats for the House and Senate. It's time for impeachment proceedings to begin.
The good news is that the vast majority of House and Senate members don't have financial conflicts of interest. See the financial disclosure filings of @amyklobuchar to see how honest politicians manage their personal finances.

Dan's baiting you into a roundabout to get you off-topic. He's disinformed, perhaps a gatekeeper or plant for disinfo. The fraud and financial conflicts of interest regarding the vaccine industry, regulators, CDC/NIH is real and it's broad. Reposting b/c twitter keeps deleting:
I did TON of research-most people entirely unaware of vacc facts:
TESTING
Vacc NOT FDA tested w/ same rigor as other drugs-many fast-tracked.
None of CDC sched vacc combos tested together or w/ other vacc given together to newborn babies/kids! NONE! 1/13
Rampant fraud in CDC vacc programs: collusion w/ big pharma+corruption in captured agencies regulating vacc to cover up safety+efficacy testing interference, failures, DIRECTLY cause neurological harm.
Anti-vax campaign designed to distract/shame you from obtaining info. 2/13
