Today @SenDavidPerdue and I introduced a bill to renew and expand the #FarmToSchool program with @SenSherrodBrown & @SenSusanCollins. leahy.senate.gov/press/leahy-an…
Our bipartisan Farm to School Act will increase federal funds that help bring fresh, local foods to schools across the country and will educate students on where their food comes from.
The #FarmToSchool Program has helped make #VT a national leader in pairing local farms and local schools. leahy.senate.gov/press/leahy-an…
Hungry children cannot learn. Our #FarmToSchool Act will expand students’ access to healthy, nutritious, and LOCAL foods. @FarmtoSchool @sustainableag @NFUDC @NEAToday
You are what you eat. My #FarmToSchool Act will result in more healthy VTers by expanding students’ access to fresh, local foods in schools throughout VT. @NOFAVT @VT_FEED

Chairman Graham just broke FOUR committee rules in order to advance Pres. Trump’s bill to lock up immigrant children INDEFINITELY. Rules every Republican voted for 6 months ago. Rules I always respected as chairman.

They might as well rip them up. So I did it for them.
Democrats had many serious, substantive proposals for how to fix the problems that plague our immigration system and border. We filed over 100 amendments. Graham broke every rule and didn’t allow us to offer any. Here’s a couple I wanted to offer—
The Committee should start the immigration reform debate where we left off in 2013. Then, as chairman, I held five markups and 30 hours of debate. We considered 100s of amendments, and accepted almost 50 from Republicans. That’s why we received 68 bipartisan votes on the floor.

Leahy, @SenatorCollins, And @SenatorDurbin Reintroduce Bipartisan Legislation To Combat Illegal Straw Purchasing And Firearms Trafficking

leahy.senate.gov/press/leahy-co…
Gun violence plagues our nation. There’s already been 98 killings in DC this year. The police chief has blamed the spike on easy access to illegal guns. For too long, we have allowed criminals to obtain firearms through unregulated markets and traffickers. We must act.
I just reintroduced my firearms trafficking bill, with Senators Collins and Durbin, to provide critical tools to prosecute straw purchasers and gun traffickers. This bill received 58 votes in 2013. The Senate should pass this bipartisan first step without delay.

This “border zone” has almost nothing to do with our international borders. It encompasses a huge swath of the country, even places like Richmond, VA. Nearly 2/3 of the U.S. population lives in the 4th Amendment-free “border zone.”
Did you know a border patrol agent can pull you over in Harrisburg, PA, for “appearing dirty,” or for no reason at all? The warrantless/suspicionless, and way-too-expansive “border zone” is an affront to our Constitution and must be reined in. theintercept.com/2019/01/07/cbp…
We already know CBP’s interior checkpoints are a waste of finite resources. CBP set up two in VT in recent months. The first netted ZERO arrests. The second resulted in one arrest–for a visa overstay–and only after nearly 900 cars were stopped. vtdigger.org/2019/05/05/bor…

.@ChuckGrassley finally gets memos from 2014 declassified telling him that @CIA had been intercepting and reading confidential communications between the Intel Cmty IG Whistleblowing czar (Dan Meyer) & Congress. judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

I have some thoughts...
@ChuckGrassley @CIA 1) Good for Grassley for pushing for this. I don't always agree with him, but he did good this time.

2) That being said, this clearly took on a low priority at his office. There are so many ways to get this info out there that don't involve politely asking the agency ...
@ChuckGrassley @CIA who did the misconduct to declassify it. He's the head of Senate Judiciary. If he wants it published, it gets published. The fact that it took so long and that he just filed an MDR request like anyone else show that it was less important than it should've been.

(1) Dennis Ketterer, Julie Swetnick, & Democrat insanity. #Loco

As an ex-liberal woman born in 1970, I feel I can offer an informed perspective on the issues raised by Ketterer in his statement.

The issues are relevant to #MeToo #HimToo & everything.

judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…
(2) Ketterer writes as a man who carries immense guilt for having had secret extramarital sexual relations with Swetnick 25 years ago.

His statement is full of comments about it, but it's not the main issue. His status as a 9yo male child sex abuse survivor will be ignored.
(3) Today's Dems are ABSOLUTELY fixated on sexual crimes that are male on female.

To the exclusion of every other type of sex crime.

I know many men who have been sexually abused by a woman, or a man, in adulthood, or childhood. I know many male domestic abuse survivors.

Today I'm releasing a #RussiaReport documenting Vladimir Putin's 20-year attack on democratic institutions in his own country and Europe. To protect against what the Kremlin did to the U.S. in 2016, we need to first understand Putin's pattern. foreign.senate.gov/press/ranking/…
Russia's attack on the U.S., while still being fully investigated, was not limited to email hacks or one election. The scale and scope of this threat is real, it is growing, and if left unchecked, it will happen again in 2018 and 2020. #RussiaReport
This is the 1st U.S. government #RussiaReport to detail exactly how Putin operates, from a toolbox that includes military invasions, cyberattacks, disinformation, supporting fringe political groups, and weaponizing energy, crime & corruption. Summary here: foreign.senate.gov/download/chapt…
