For the second time in as many months, a child has died in the custody of border control authorities. Felipe Gómez Alonzo was only 8 years old. We will investigate this tragic death and that of Jakelin Caal Maquin, but the Administration’s cruel border policy needs to end. Now.https://twitter.com/ap/status/1077630553145397251 …

To all who are celebrating today, wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas. Here’s hoping you have a safe and joyous holiday with your friends and loved ones.

I am pleased to announce that our very talented (fill in the blank) will assume the duties of the more talented (fill in the blank) until they are in turned replaced by the still less talented (fill in the blank). He will be great!https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1076881816462737408 …

The President of the United States should not be discussing any criminal case in which he has been implicated with the Acting Attorney General. This is wrong, unethical and eviscerates post-Watergate policy. Whitaker should not need an ethics opinion to know this is inexcusable.https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/1076278393463803904 …

Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall. He said it over and over again. He assured voters they would not be stuck with the bill. He broke that promise. When he met with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, he said he would shut down the government. Sadly, he’s keeping that one.

Old Marines never die, but they do resign after the President ignores their advice, betrays our allies, rewards our enemies, and puts the nation’s security at risk. Turn out the lights when Mattis leaves; we will not see his like again while Trump remains in office.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1075878792168685568 …

Absent an iron-clad commitment to recuse himself from the Russia probe and obstruction of justice issue, this memo should disqualify Barr from consideration. Senators must not blind themselves to Trump’s illicit purpose in choosing the acting Attorney General and his replacement.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1075777685194829824 …

This is patently false and dangerously naive. These hostile nations are delighted by the U.S. withdrawal and betrayal of our regional partners. The rash decision, despite opposition from Mattis and others, means our allies will not trust us and our enemies will not fear us.https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1075726666574544896 …

This ethics opinion must be shared with Congress. Now. DOJ officials must avoid not only actual impropriety but the appearance of impropriety. Given Whitaker’s prejudicial comments about Mueller, the public can have no confidence in him. We will scrutinize his every action.https://twitter.com/lauraajarrett/status/1075764417642577921 …

After the judge acknowledged the seriousness of Flynn’s conduct, he has allowed Trump’s former National Security Advisor to defer sentencing until after he has fully cooperated with the government. It will be important that Flynn also cooperate with our Committee and testify.

The NY AG found unlawful coordination between the Trump Foundation and Trump campaign. SDNY found Individual 1 directed unlawful coordination of hush money payments. We must continue to investigate whether the campaign’s unlawful coordination extended to the Russians.https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1075056691664863232 …

Today, the President’s current lawyer said this of his last lawyer: He lies to fit the situation he’s in; He talked to a dozen reporters and lied and deceived them; He’s changed his story three or four times; He’s a serial liar. What about the guy that hired them both?

We’re going to do our job and follow the facts wherever they lead. At the end of the day, we need to know that the President of the United States is acting in the national interest and not for another purpose. That’s what the American people expect of us and what we must deliver.https://twitter.com/jeffreytoobin/status/1073674160071692291 …

Zinke HAS accomplished much: There’s the Connecticut casino matter And Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument issue And suspect land development project in Zinke's hometown of Whitefish In fact not since Scott Pruitt has anyone done so much...to keep ethics lawyers busy.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1073944491588022272 …

If the Justice Department finds that a president has engaged in a conspiracy to commit illegal acts to help his campaign AND would escape justice by staying in office beyond the statute of limitations, it should allow indictment even if a trial must await the end of the term.https://twitter.com/neal_katyal/status/1072959290548387840 …

House GOP went to extraordinary lengths to prevent a vote to end U.S. support for a war in Yemen that is causing a humanitarian disaster. Why? Because they knew it would pass. Democrats will vote to end U.S. support for the war when we are in the Majority, only weeks from now.
