Then-Senator Marco Rubio described Russia’s interference as a deliberate campaign of “active measures taken by the government of Vladimir Putin to influence and to potentially manipulate American public opinion.” Their goal was to sow “chaos and division in our politics, sowing…
We lost a remarkable man and leader. Bill touched a lot of lives, and I think made us all better.
HAPPENING NOW: An estimated 1,500 people are gathered at @sacredheartuniv’s Martire Family Arena to remember First Selectman Bill Gerber, who died of a brain tumor Mourners include @GovNedLamont, @LGSusanB, @SenBlumenthal, @ChrisMurphyCT, and @SeanScanlonCT
Leading to the breathless release of information from ODNI that the Japanese did not, in fact, bomb Pearl Harbor.

Because it is a big lie, Jim. And everyone knows it.
We told you about the Russia hoax for years. @TulsiGabbard confirmed it. Why is the media silent?
This is a lie. And if he's confused, the President should ask @SecRubio, who helped lead the bipartisan Senate investigation that unanimously concluded that there was no evidence of politicization in the intelligence community's behavior around the 2016 election.
Trump declares that Obama is guilty of treason: Barack Hussain Obama, have you heard of him? He is guilty. It’s not a question. This was treason.
I actually hope that DOJ takes this to court. They won’t, because they know that the howls of laughter from that court will be heard in four time zones. Watch for DOJ action. Not gonna happen. And when it doesn’t, I hope all the MAGA very online people ask why.
Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it. We…
No one alleges that the Russians did technical hacks of voting technology. But ALL of the investigations, including the senate bipartisan investigation found that the Russians sought to influence the 2016 election in Trump’s favor.
For months preceding the 2016 election, the Intelligence Community shared a consensus view: Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections. But weeks after President Trump’s historic 2016 victory defeating Hillary Clinton, everything changed.
This is utter nonsense. Completely. Odd that then CIA Director Pompeo didn’t say any of this. Or that none of the six DNIs in Trump’s first term said any of it. Once again, @DNIGabbard is trashing her own people in an attempt to regain Trump’s favor or to distract from the…
🧵 Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President @realDonaldTrump, subverting the…
It is sadly not surprising that DNI Gabbard, who promised to depoliticize the intelligence community, is once again weaponizing her position to amplify the president’s election conspiracy theories. It is appalling to hear DNI Gabbard accuse her own IC workforce of committing a…
It seems DNI Gabbard is unaware that the years-long Russia investigation carried out by the Senate Intelligence Committee reaffirmed that ‘the Russian government directed extensive activity against U.S. election infrastructure’ ahead of the 2016 election, and that it ‘used social…
The US used to support and promote democracy abroad. Now the Trump administration is doing all it can to support authoritarians everywhere. In this case, supporting a leader who tried a coup in Brazil. Birds of a feather….
.@POTUS made clear that his administration will hold accountable foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States. Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes's political witch hunt against Jair Bolsonaro created a…
