Our nation has a 200-year history of successful elections, followed by a peaceful transfer of power. Yesterday, the Senate Intelligence Committee received a briefing on election security from our nation’s top officials.
We all know that the election process will look different this year, in light of COVID-19, and we may not know the results on election night. The Intelligence Community (IC) warned that, as a result, the period immediately before and after the election could be uniquely volatile.
But we should continue to have faith in the state and local officials who are responsible for the conduct of our elections and the IC and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) officials who help to protect them, and make sure that all the votes are counted.
The President of the United States should not be aiding and abetting foreign adversaries who are working to sow doubts about the legitimacy of the American election system.

Let me be clear: what House Republicans are proposing in terms of separating Ukraine and Israel aid – and “offsetting” the latter with cuts to the IRS – is absurd and dangerous. Here’s why:
First of all, cutting money to the IRS is not an “offset” at all – it raises the deficit. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that our original IRS funding would cut the deficit by MORE THAN $100 BILLION! Cutting that funding means the deficit will rise.
Plainly, cutting funding to the IRS keep their tech in the Dark Ages. It means it’s harder for you to get your refund on time. It means it’s easier for tax cheats to get away with fraud.

Folks, I’ve heard a lot of pretty wild misconceptions about the RESTRICT Act. Let’s dispel some myths:
MYTH: This bill allows unlimited surveillance by the U.S. government!
Fact: Totally untrue. This bill doesn’t give the government any power to track what you’re searching! In fact, it is aimed at COUNTERING foreign surveillance from authoritarian nations.
The bill is restricted to tech from just a handful of nations – China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, and Iran – that are controlled by authoritarian regimes.

Hey folks, I just want to follow up on some things we learned about election subversion in the wake of the midterms. A thread:
First of all, a lot of the news is good. Elections were largely peaceful, open, and fair. Many high-profile election deniers lost their races. Most certification processes across the nation appear, for the most part, to be going smoothly.
There are some worrying signs, however. A handful of counties resisted certification of the final vote. And angry crowds protested vote certification processes across the country. The certification of the statewide vote in Michigan, for example, was briefly disrupted.

For the last year, I’ve been working to get our competition bill done, but if partisan actors are intent on slowing it down, I’m ready to separate anything we have bipartisan agreement on – particularly the money and tax incentives for semiconductors and 5G – and get that passed.
This money can’t wait – solving the semiconductor shortage is critical to cutting costs and easing the supply chain. If we wait, we risk losing investments from companies like Intel that are ready to create jobs and boost domestic manufacturing.
And funding ORAN will give us next generation tech that will allow us to expand connectivity and 5G. It could be a game changer for folks across the country, especially in rural areas.

This decision jeopardizes the health and autonomy of millions of American women and turns back the clock on nearly 50 years of settled and reaffirmed law – reflecting a Court that has increasingly issued politicized rulings that undermine the fundamental rights of Americans.(1/4)
This decision will take control over personal health care decisions away from individuals and give it to politicians in state legislatures across the country. (2/4)
I am heartbroken for the generations of women who now have fewer rights than when they were born, many of whom will be forced into life-threatening or prohibitively expensive circumstances to access health care as a result of this radical decision. (3/4)

For too long our men and women in uniform have struggled to receive the care they deserve after being exposed to burn pits and other toxins. The bipartisan agreement on the Honoring Our PACT Act is a significant step. It’s critical that the Senate quickly acts on this bill.
This legislation will expand health care eligibility for generations of veterans and broaden certain disease and cancer presumptions for veterans who were exposed to these toxins during their service.
It’s one thing to promise this care – it’s another to actually provide it. This bill puts forth funding and resources to help the VA make critical claims processing investments that must happen if the VA is going to be able to meet this new demand.
