The idea here is that the Sacklers can become billionaires by killing hundreds of thousands of people and have the court approve a "settlement" that allows them to remain billionaires. Still might happen, but it's now in doubt — PolitiTweet.org

The Sacklers' plan to shield their vast personal wealth from civil lawsuits hits a snag https://t.co/uMdI5C3Ul0 — PolitiTweet.org

This was a policy choice. We could have had climate action, universal pre-K, guaranteed paid leave, an expanded child tax credit and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act Thanks to Manchin, Sinema and the Senate GOP we have an Ambassador to Luxembourg — PolitiTweet.org

Tucker says everyone should stop talking about COVID and I hope he takes his own advice and never mentions it again on his show because the world would be a better place without him spreading lethal misinformation about the pandemic — PolitiTweet.org

She is "helping our Nation's children fulfill their own unique American Dream" by donating a "portion" of the proceeds to "assist children aging out of the foster care system" What portion will be devoted to this? Melania doesn't say How will that money be spent? Again, no info — PolitiTweet.org

The laws and regulations BANNING discussion of the 1619 Project in schools is a brazen attack on free speech and academic freedom. The perpetrators are the self-appointed champions of free speech and academic freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonDeSantisFL @Moms4Liberty DeSantis' W.O.K.E. act also bans private corporations from conducting any training that the State of Florida decides is "Critical Race Theory" So much for First Amendment! The government can now decide what can and cannot be discussed in a private business, DeSantis says — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @RonDeSantisFL introduced a bill to ban Critical Race Theory in schools and invoked MLK Jr Also appearing at the press conference was a speaker from @Moms4Liberty — A GROUP THAT IS LITERALLY TRYING TO STOP 2ND GRADERS FROM LEARNING ABOUT MLK JR https://t.co/7j51LDwxmg — PolitiTweet.org

@ThePlumLineGS @ryanlcooper @Atrios What evidence is there that reforming the filibuster to pass voting reform is a real possibility? — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin originally focused on a number, 1.5T. Then he basically got his number (1.75T) and got the clean energy standard scrapped but it’s not enough. If you wanted to kill BBB completely, this is how you would do it. — PolitiTweet.org

5. The entire structure of Amazon is optimized to increase profits and limit accountability at the expense of worker safety and well-being. That's why its drivers are "independent small business owners." https://t.co/3Oi6RP2lsr — PolitiTweet.org

4. Amazon workers have been required to work through deadly floods in New York and record heat in the Pacific Northwest. A 2020 study "found Amazon warehouse workers are injured at higher rates than those at rival companies." https://t.co/3Oi6RP2lsr — PolitiTweet.org

3. The sequence of events illustrates a larger problem with Amazon's business culture, which subordinates worker safety to ruthless efficiency. The top priority is profit and wealth creation for investors — even when it puts workers in harm's way. https://t.co/3Oi6RP2lsr — PolitiTweet.org

@amazon 2. The six Amazon workers would have probably never been able to afford a space flight. But they were people with families that loved them and dreams for the future. One victim was a single mom with a one-year-old son. https://t.co/3Oi6RP2lsr — PolitiTweet.org

Can someone explain to me why we are protecting the identity of this “lawmaker”? Do you have the right to try to overthrow democracy anonymously? The American public has a right to know who said this. — PolitiTweet.org
