Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham says, “I think [Trump] feared [Putin]. I think he was afraid of him. I think that the man intimidated him.” https://t.co/SJUYRud697 — PolitiTweet.org

“For decades, the American people have been told energy independence…would insulate us from the vagaries of global markets and geopolitics. This is and always has been a myth.” — Cullen Hendrix, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate must wake up to the urgent threat of climate change. Indolence in the face of known danger is a particularly stupid form of cowardice. https://t.co/VXwqdGihSj — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot allow the fossil fuel industry to collect a massive payout by taking advantage of an international crisis. I propose sending Big Oil’s big windfall back to the hardworking people who paid for it at the gas pump. — PolitiTweet.org

We have no other planet standing by. It’s time to take self-rescue seriously, by every available means, and fast. https://t.co/9ray4rkNss — PolitiTweet.org

I wish I was done with my climate speeches. I wish I’d never had to deliver a single one. In a few minutes, I’ll be back on the Senate floor to give another. — PolitiTweet.org

Watch any ad for a fossil fuel company and you’ll spot one of these deceptive tactics. If @BCWGlobal, @Ogilvy, and @EdelmanPR are serious about climate action, they’ll #StopPolluterPR. https://t.co/MHbDX5Rmny — PolitiTweet.org

PR firms that work with polluters are holding us back at a critical moment and legitimizing the fossil fuel industry’s empty promises. We need bold climate action, not deception & delay. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Firms like @EdelmanPR make big climate pledges while raking in millions from fossil fuel clients. Instead of outright denial, PR firms greenwash these polluters by broadcasting their pitiful investments in clean energy. 2/3 #StopPolluterPR — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Fossil fuel companies have to maintain an illusion of sustainability. They pay lawyers, think tanks, and front groups to bury the truth – but it falls to the PR industry to hide the whole mess and give polluters the cover they need. 1/3 #StopPolluterPR https://t.co/IhjuTtgxY6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Some of America’s biggest PR firms are helping the fossil fuel industry get away with destroying our planet. Honest companies don’t spread disinformation, so it’s time for @BCWGlobal, @Ogilvy, and @EdelmanPR to stand up and #StopPolluterPR. — PolitiTweet.org

Ukrainians blow up Russian armored convoys. Russians blow up Ukrainian children’s hospitals. Keep alive in your hearts the prospect that Ukrainians actually win this thing. https://t.co/BtgwRqGW8Q — PolitiTweet.org

Feel like government isn’t listening to you? Billionaire political spending up 70x from around $17 million in 2008 cycle to around $1.2 billion for 2020 cycle. Think they wanted tax fairness? Climate action? Drug price reform? Pass DISCLOSE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s budget agreement renews the Violence Against Women Act and secures needed funding for #VAWA programs. This long-overdue reauthorization will strengthen a critical lifeline for victims of domestic abuse and secure justice for survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Rampant gerrymandering endangers democracy. Power taken from voters doesn’t just go away; it goes to special interests, and the results are predictably rotten. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

SCOTUS did NOT strip state courts of power to review rigged maps; BUT at least 4 conservatives launched a wacky theory to make courts subservient to legislatures as to gerrymandering. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Dark money uses sophisticated mapping to weaponize gerrymandering for special interests. SCOTUS decisions opened the door for gerrymandering, worsening partisanship and dysfunction. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Partisan gerrymandering, corrosive and undemocratic, is fueled by dark money groups with big-donor agendas too unpopular to win a fair fight. It’s that simple. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Americans hate politicians picking their voters by gerrymandering. SCOTUS just decided a big case on this issue, and it’s good news/bad news. — PolitiTweet.org

Why are Republicans urging Biden to ban Russian oil and gas, then slamming him for price hikes that causes? — PolitiTweet.org
