Those who lack courage in this moment—those who are unwilling to do what they know in their conscience to be right—will be remembered as complicit.

Thank you @MittRomney for rising to this moment, for choosing to vote your conscience, and for doing what you know in your heart to be right.

President Trump’s misdeeds pose a moral challenge to every single member of Congress: How much corruption should we stomach? How much of our integrity should we sacrifice? Will we look the other way, as the president ignores the Constitution?

History's record will be very clear. The American people can see through the lies, inconsistencies, and doublespeak. To my Republican colleagues: Think about how painful it will be to explain that you knew what President Trump did was wrong, yet you did nothing.

I will vote to convict President Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

It's becoming clear that Senate Republicans will vote to acquit President Trump. And in doing so, they'll be excusing proven criminality for political expediency. That's an abject failure of congressional oversight and a betrayal of constitutional duty.

Buried among President Trump's falsehoods and exaggerations about the economy and his trade deal were deeply appalling statements intended to demonize immigrants and women seeking abortions. He spreads hate just to prop himself up. #SOTU

President Trump has had almost a full term to bring this country together and deliver real progress for the American people. Instead, he has divided the country across every line imaginable. #SOTU2020

Women like Hacheler are at the forefront of an important fight for workers to get the pay and protections they deserve. I am proud have her join me for tonight's #SOTU.https://twitter.com/32bjseiu/status/1224801431414362112 …

Though her tireless work on behalf of Michigan families, @gretchenwhitmer has embodied the best of our party and the best of our American values. She's one to watch, and I'm so thrilled that the country will get to know her as she delivers the response to tonight's #SOTU.

McConnell and Senate Republicans have been running a sham trial in the Senate from the beginning. It's clear that they're moving closer to acquittal, shielding the president from accountability for abuse of power. We must do everything we can to vote them all out in November.

During #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate the countless ways Black Americans have shaped—and will continue to shape—our nation. And in celebrating these accomplishments, we also recognize the remaining work we must do to tackle institutional racism and injustice.

Senate Republicans have been conducting a sham trial from the beginning. Their latest vote to block witnesses and relevant documents has only solidified that fact.

A trial without witnesses and evidence isn’t a fair trial.

Let’s hear from John Bolton. Let’s hear from Mick Mulvaney. Let’s see new documents from the State Department, the Defense Department, and OMB. We need relevant witnesses and evidence. My colleagues and I pledged to seek impartial justice. We should fulfill that promise.
