#ChamberofCarbon responded by corralling those companies into a climate “conversation” that has now been going on for over two years. Every good climate thing goes to climate conversation, where it dies. But not the bad stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s review the bidding on the #ChamberofCarbon climate efforts. It started when InfluenceMap nailed @USChamber as “worst climate obstructor in the U.S.” Some companies griped about being associated with that brand and demanded better climate performance from #ChamberofCarbon. — PolitiTweet.org

It was a pleasure meeting with students from @universityofri’s Service Corps, who came to DC to learn about federal advocacy. https://t.co/DXPxR5hHgN — PolitiTweet.org

Jane Mayer gets it right again about fossil fuel dark-money thuggery. Sickening. There’s a special corner in Hell... https://t.co/V7uXaRQLeI — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, President Zelenskyy will address Congress from Kyiv, where Ukrainians have mustered their strength to defend their homes & lives. It is an honor to hear him speak at this critical moment, and I will keep pushing to secure help for his people. — PolitiTweet.org

Oligarchs & kleptocrats should be terrified of bringing their dirty money anywhere near the United States. Instead, our financial system has become a haven for corruption. We need reforms to enforce transparency & punish those who hide criminal assets.  https://t.co/MrndR6bSgk — PolitiTweet.org

This talented woman was attacked with lies by the dark-money “flying monkeys” of the fossil fuel apparatus. They can’t bully their way out of climate responsibility, but they sure do try. — PolitiTweet.org

The right-wing Supreme Court auditioning continues for the next time a Republican president is in office. Scheme donors expect stand-out candidates who wear their commitment to the cause on their sleeves. Watch closely. https://t.co/eHSreCHn1p — PolitiTweet.org

I’m heading to the Senate Floor to deliver remarks on the Scheme that captured and now controls America’s Supreme Court. Set up a machine like that, and pretty soon you see would-be justices “auditioning” for the bench. Tune in soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Our new bicameral, bipartisan bill allows rewards to those who come forward and disclose secret ownership and facilitate seizures of corrupt oligarch assets. https://t.co/2f1HX8pSkw — PolitiTweet.org

The Sunshine Protection Act just passed the US Senate with unanimous consent. This is a big, sensible step forward. Long live Daylight Saving Time! — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

It’s time for Congress to take up our bipartisan legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent and brighten the coldest months with an extra hour of afternoon sun. https://t.co/Mtow6aHYsz — PolitiTweet.org

On my way to the floor to call for a vote on my Sunshine Protection Act and keep Daylight Saving Time around for good. Live remarks coming soon! — PolitiTweet.org

If the “Big 4” audit firms (E&Y, PwC, KPMG & Deloitte) leave Russia it will impede big Russian firms’ investors’ and counterparties’ reliance on audits under due diligence requirements. — PolitiTweet.org

The gender pay gap isn’t just unfair to working women – it hurts families and our economy, too. Now is the time to level the playing field. This #EqualPayDay, I’m pushing to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to help make sure women earn equal pay for equal work. — PolitiTweet.org

I fought to secure more funding for the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program and I’m glad to see it passed. Incarcerated individuals on the long & noble path to substance use recovery are less likely to reoffend if we ensure access to care once back in their communities. — PolitiTweet.org

I just filed a bill to reclaim the windfall profits that Big Oil is raking in. Here’s how it works: https://t.co/KlzXMMUmgE — PolitiTweet.org

Seizing ostentatious wealth from corrupt oligarchs is not just  “schadenfreude” but a “little bit of justice.” https://t.co/XtYsuCXp3m — PolitiTweet.org

Deleting this tweet because it won’t be happening tonight. But stay tuned – we’re determined to see our bill passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Skyrocketing child care costs are a huge stress on Rhode Island families. That’s why Democrats boosted the 2021 Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit to record levels. Parents – check out how to get thousands back in your pocket this filing season: https://t.co/knnyjXGcka — PolitiTweet.org

Koch Industries has decided to continue its business operations in Russia, while the Koch Foundation runs its dark money operation here in the United States. Does that surprise anybody? — PolitiTweet.org

Fukuyama shares my view: outright Ukrainian victory is possible — and would change the world. Great piece. https://t.co/ZdW7AiVUYz — PolitiTweet.org

Putin’s Ukraine attack is fossil-fuel funded, fossil fuel is his leverage over Europe, and — oh, yes — fossil fuel emissions are destroying habitability of Earth; so fossil fuel lies in overdrive. https://t.co/HzzfLOVv6f — PolitiTweet.org
