    Dear Friends, thank you for following my official Twitter page over these years. I have enjoyed using new channels of communication to keep in touch with Vermonters. Now that I am leaving the Senate, this account will no longer be active. Best wishes always. –Patrick and Marcelle

    Alert: The president said a couple minutes ago, "We're building a wall in Colorado. We're building a beautiful wall. A big one that really works."

    Judge Kavanaugh’s stunning decision to pen an op-ed bluntly confirms he has neither the judgment nor the temperament to be on our highest court. He can’t erase blaming credible sexual assault allegations ‘on the Clintons,’ attacks on senators, and vows of revenge with an op-ed.

    Chairman Graham just broke FOUR committee rules in order to advance Pres. Trump’s bill to lock up immigrant children INDEFINITELY. Rules every Republican voted for 6 months ago. Rules I always respected as chairman. They might as well rip them up. So I did it for them.

    Untruthful testimony, under oath and on the record.

    Judge Brett Kavanaugh should be deeply embarrassed at the way he has arrived at the doorstep of the Supreme Court. He won't be. nyti.ms/2Cy3JkW

    I led the Senate investigation into the last time an Attorney General worked with the White House to fire U.S. Attorneys for political reasons. It did not end well for the Attorney General.

    I keep demanding Kavanaugh’s FULL record because it will reveal if he lied to me under oath in 2006—whether he is fit to serve on our highest court. We’ve seen just 6%; only 3% is public. The hiding of his record is a sham & a fraud against the American people. #WhatAreTheyHiding

    We have discovered evidence that Judge Kavanaugh misled the Senate during his 2004 and 2006 hearings. Truthfulness under oath is not an optional qualification for a Supreme Court nominee. Watch as I question him here: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/nomin…

    Exactly one month ago, @senatemajldr said that we would pass a bill to fund the government while we continued debate. What changed? Why are Senate Republicans holding the American people hostage for a senseless border wall? We could re-open the government today if he allowed it.

    .@realDonaldTrump just claimed that re-opening Kavanaugh’s official background investigation isn’t something the FBI does. FALSE. It's exactly what the FBI does. Until now it’s been a standard bipartisan process to have the FBI investigate new information raised about a nominee.

    Wrong, so you should remove this. I’ve already seen the material. I’m interested in SHARING IT WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, and doing so NOW...which Senate Republicans have tried to prevent by keeping it nonpublic with a faulty claim of committee confidentiality.

    Senator Leahy indicates twice now that he hasn't even made an attempt to look at the material on Kavanaugh that he has access to, both committee confidential and otherwise. Says "he's not even sure if he has interest in seeing it." x.com/ShannonBream/s…

    Just to make sure it’s not lost: The President wants to slow down mail delivery, such as prescription drugs for seniors and veterans, in order to make sure people can’t vote in November.
