A free press and the right for anyone to voice dissent ensures that world leaders remain accountable and every individual may speak truth to power. As a country built on the foundation of freedom of speech, we can't be silent when this fundamental right is under attack elsewhere.

This is good but not enough. We need immediate & binding sanctions on the Saudis. I am heartsick about the death of that journalist & even more heartsick about the US response. Trump is shaming our country.

Thank you Ed! If the principles in the Decl. of Independence, the U.S. Constitution & the Gettysburg Address guided our foreign policy, Saudi Arabia would not have murdered Jamal Khashoggi. All free and open societies should end trade with brutal Orwellian nightmare nations.pic.twitter.com/3TVebEvoKs

Please push this hard with bipartisan support. The president does not understand the significance of what happened this week. He has a Gambino/Gotti way of thinking. Not-in-the-family-not-one-of-us-then-I-wash-my-hands-of-it mentality.

Thank you, Sir. But you realize part of Pompeo's worth to 45 is that he's pro-imprisonment for reporters.

Thank you. Not certain Pompeo is pro Free Speech in his puppet position, however. I am certain the majority of Americans are.

We must set the example. With Trump trying to suppress the media here do you think this will be successful worldwide? Do you think they won't see the hypocrisy? Shouldn't we start at home too?

This is not fair. The kingdom has been wrongfully accused of the tragic disappearance of
#Khashoggi w/no substantial evidence to proclaim its guilt!!! & yet u r promoting its complicity based on misguided & malicious allegations from KSA's foe to settle political scores!pic.twitter.com/wv6BcbfdyN - 1 more reply

Says 'my' Senator that wants Assange in a US dungeon. You have to be a little less obvious in your contradictions to stay in power.

No no, I’m sure
@SenMarkey was loud and vociferous in his condemnation of the previous administration when it prosecuted journalists and whistleblowers at a pace far exceeding any president in history. Why be consistent when you can just be a tribalist blowhard?
