NEWS: For more than a year my @SenateFinance staff has been investigating the NRA’s relationship with foreign agent Maria Butina and Russian government official Alexander Torshin and their role in the Kremlin’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election.

Here’s what they found.
The NRA lied about the December 2015 Moscow trip not being an official trip.
NRA leaders were told the trip was needed to prove Torshin’s American connections to the Kremlin, and that building relationships with Russians was “NRA business.”

I went across the border into Juarez, Mexico to tour a shelter housing asylum seekers being forced to stay in Mexico instead of the U.S. while they wait to hear if they've been granted asylum. They are fleeing persecution and violence, seeking a better life for their families.
While across the border, I met a young woman who was seeking refuge in the U.S., who was more than 8 months pregnant.
There were concerns she had serious medical complications that were life-threatening to her & her unborn baby. She tried to get across the border but was denied until it became clear to law enforcement that I was accompanying her. She was taken to a hospital to get care.

Last week, my colleagues and I were briefed on the state of election security in America. Afterward, my Republican colleagues claimed there was no need for new federal election security legislation.
Fast forward to this past weekend's @AP headline: “Old software makes new electoral systems ripe for hacking.” The majority of 10,000 election jurisdictions nationwide use systems that could be ripe for exploitation by hackers.
These reports further solidify that 2020 is going to make what happened in 2016 look like small potatoes with regard to election interference. I've been sounding the alarm on this issue and demanding that Congress implement mandatory cybersecurity standards for federal elections.

Thread: Something rotten is going on with this lobbyist -Michael Esposito.

He was involved with SCL group, the Clinton Campaign, AND Donald Trump

What is this?

#TrumpRussia
2: From OpenSecrets, Esposito was lobbying for SCL group in 2003 and then again in 2009.
3: I had some questions because the company is only listed as Strategic Communications - but the inclusion of Global Policy Partners proves it is SCL group.

THREAD: The new tax law is a raw deal for the middle class. 83% of the benefits go to the 1%, and it blows a $1.5 trillion hole in the deficit. But don't just take my word for it, here's 42 examples of how the #TaxScam hurts working families as well as a vision for #ABetterDeal:
A plurality—42%–think the tax cuts favor the wealthy most of all. Only 29.6% say they favor the working and middle class. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tax…
