Sen. Schiff says a suspicious substance was mailed to his office
U.S. Capitol Police and the Sergeant at Arms confirmed they intercepted at least one envelope with a suspicious substance mailed to my California offices, fitting a disturbing pattern of lawmakers being targeted across party and geography.
This attempt to intimidate elected officials and our staff will not succeed. We instead condemn these threats as antithetical to the values of our nation, recommit to our work and thank the law enforcement and postal officials who are helping keep our teams safe.

John Hendren retweeted
"It’s an outrageous misuse of antitrust law. Antitrust is meant to protect consumers. Well, news consumers are undoubtedly more harmed by Trump’s war on the press than by this show of solidarity by news outlets in defense of the First Amendment. As for the government’s demand for copies of the networks’ communications, the outlets should tell the Justice Department to kick rocks."
–Clayton Weimers, executive director, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) North America, responding to the new DOJ probe of the major networks

Sen. Susan Collins, in a tight race for reelection, distances herself from Trump on his Russian diesel deal
I oppose President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on the purchase of diesel from Russia. I was a cosponsor of the Russian sanctions law, which the President recently signed but is now not following.
