Federal Court this week underscored need for the bipartisan Leahy-Daines bill to protect Americans’ #privacy at the border. @SteveDaines sevendaysvt.com/OffMessage/arc…
Our bipartisan bill requires the govt to have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to search or seize Americans’ electronic devices at the border. @SteveDaines leahy.senate.gov/press/leahy-an…
Just because an American drives to Canada for the day shouldn’t mean the government gets to search through their photos, emails, and browsing history. @SteveDaines

It's still **CODE RED** for Americans' health care. Pres. Trump's zeal to strip critical protections from millions of Americans through the courts--WITH ABSOLUTELY NO BACKUP PLAN IN PLACE--is among his most harmful, reckless, and shameful policy priorities.
The #ACA is the law of the land and it needs to stay that way. The fight must go on. This Republican lawsuit, fully supported by the Trump Adm., also imperils all those who depend on Medicaid expansion for #opioid treatment.
More than 135 million Americans with #PreExistingConditions remain at risk of losing vital protections, and millions could be uninsured. Hardworking Americans’ premiums and prescription drug prices could rise even higher than they are now. We must not go backward.

The $1.4 trillion bipartisan, bicameral funding agreement announced today rejects the devastating and shortsighted cuts proposed by President Trump and makes historic investments in the American people and working families. #Appropriations appropriations.senate.gov/news/minority/…
The agreement supports children and families by making an historic investment in Child Care and Development Block grants ($5.8 billion), meaning as many as 44,000 more children will be served by the program. #Appropriations
It supports child nutrition programs that provide over 31 million children with lunch during each school day, and ensures that 6 million women, infants, and children receive the nutritional support they need through the #WIC program. #Appropriations

I just finished asking IG Horowitz about his investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, which found the investigation was lawfully authorized and not impacted by bias, but also uncovered numerous issues related to the #FISA surveillance of Carter Page.
The #FISA abuses the IG found are serious and should be addressed. But remember that Carter Page’s section in the Mueller report was only 7 pages, out of 448 pages. Errors found by the IG didn't play a role in the Mueller report info or 37 indictments/convictions.
For years I’ve tried to convince more Republican senators to support #FISA reforms. I stand ready to make it more adversarial, to better protect First Amendment activity, and to require disclosure of exculpatory info. I hope more Rs now will join me.

I'm feeling vindictive so I'm going to dump some of my 'Fuck Bernie' bookmark folder here tonight. I'll get through however many posts Twitter lets me do at one time.

Here’s a THREAD about why I wrote 5,500 words for @sevendaysvt about @BernieSanders’ evolving position on gun rights — and what I found: sevendaysvt.com/vermont/sticki…
@sevendaysvt @BernieSanders After the March mass shooting in New Zealand, @Bernie Sanders tweeted that it’d “been 2,293 days since Sandy Hook” and that it was “past time that we take on the NRA and pass gun safety legislation.”
I noted, quoting a March 2013 column I’d written, that 85 days after Sandy Hook, @BernieSanders told me he wasn’t sure he’d vote for an assault weapons ban.

Four years ago today, @BernieSanders announced that he'd seek the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2016 election: sevendaysvt.com/OffMessage/arc…
@BernieSanders Which also means that, as of today, it's now been four years since @BernieSanders granted an interview to @sevendaysvt, the largest newspaper in his home state.

Maybe this is normal elsewhere, but not in Vermont.

Every governor I've covered — from Jim Douglas to @GovPeterShumlin to @GovPhilScott — has held weekly press conferences.

Our other members of Congress, @SenatorLeahy & @PeterWelch, agree to most interview requests.

Why did @berniesanders evade filing his final FEC disclosures? What was he hiding in his campaign finances that he didn't want to disclose?

Then he got approval for his 2nd extension.

Mr. Financial Transparency and Crooked Jane closed on their third home which they paid for in cash on August 2. 2016, two days after the final FEC filing deadline which he avoided filing by dropping out of the campaign.

“Manafort may have gotten off easy with four years, but Ellis threw the book at Jefferson.  In 2009 Ellis sentenced Jefferson to 13 years, the longest sentence of any Congressman to that date.” forbes.com/sites/charlest…
T. S. Ellis III #Ellis #Manafort #Mueller #TrumpRussia
Manafort, seated in a wheelchair and clad in a green prison jumpsuit during the hearing, spoke of the hardship he has faced as a prime figure in the high-profile Mueller investigation. “He has lived an otherwise blameless life.”

@tomwatson #QuestionsForBernie Will you be accepting any PAC, SuperPAC, or corporate money? Will you continue to accept money from the NRA and/or Defense Industry, as you did the last time?
@tomwatson #QuestionsforBernie If you are mathematically eliminated from being the nominee, will you campaign for the nominee and support the party? Will you remain a Democrat if you do not win the primary?
@tomwatson #QuestionsForBernie Will you refrain from attacking the other candidates by calling them “unqualified,” “corrupt,” or otherwise attacking them? Will you run a respectful campaign?
