Furthermore, the fossil fuel industry should not be allowed to take advantage of a crisis by hiking prices and collecting a massive windfall. Switching to renewables over the longer term will lower costs, insulate consumers from price spikes, & protect our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

This is Putin’s gas price increase. There can be no "energy independence" as long as we power our economy with commodities whose value is determined by global events beyond our control. — PolitiTweet.org

With huge dollars like this flowing around, it’s important to treat fishermen fairly. They were there first, but the little guy often gets overrun in the big-money scramble. https://t.co/umIkWcqk45 — PolitiTweet.org

A new @AmRevMuseum exhibit helps tell the important story of the First RI Regiment, the nation’s first integrated military unit. @davidcicilline and I have a bill to finally recognize the First RI Regiment’s contributions with a Congressional Gold Medal. https://t.co/ENOaNuJTVd — PolitiTweet.org

Rhode Islanders need a @USPS that can reliably deliver medications, checks, mail ballots, & correspondence on time. This bipartisan legislation will finally solve some of the agency’s longstanding financial issues & better support our hardworking letter carriers. — PolitiTweet.org

Keep alive in your heart the possibility that Ukraine could actually win: columns stalled, defense fierce, casualties high, morale low, deserters surrendering, food and fuel snafu, population uncowed. — PolitiTweet.org

They’ve been lying: “fossil fuel interests have been successful in misleading Americans…in a decades-long campaign to question climate science and delay action, enlisting conservative think tanks and public relations firms”. https://t.co/gQW9Tzwk2N — PolitiTweet.org

Out-of-state acquisition is a predictable and deeply unfortunate consequence of the in-state merger failing. We need a plan to keep RI hospitals owned and controlled in Rhode Island. https://t.co/Jv2igMTUZF — PolitiTweet.org

I just met with Judge Jackson, who will soon appear before the Judiciary Committee as a Supreme Court nominee. She brings deep experience and expertise to the table, and I look forward to the confirmation process. https://t.co/OZYu5Wmr1u — PolitiTweet.org

Cartels have their own dark financial networks, and @ONDCP has to go after them in their national drug control strategy. That means clear goals, real metrics, and serious prioritization. — PolitiTweet.org

Dark money poisons democracy by allowing special interests, corporations, and foreign governments to operate anonymous influence campaigns. In the United States, we must pass my DISCLOSE Act and slam the floodgates shut. — PolitiTweet.org

The United States has to stand up to kleptocrats & oligarchs, which means keeping their ill-gotten gains out of our financial system. Tomorrow, I’ll join @ACEurasia to discuss what Congress can do to enforce transparency & crack down on money laundering. https://t.co/WFg0GD5ZwY — PolitiTweet.org

Today we’re launching a new federally funded @RIPTA_RI pilot program that will make riding the bus free if you get on in @CentralFalls_RI. It’s good for working families, the economy, and our environment. Congrats @MariaForCF and all who helped make this happen. https://t.co/4BMlj3CSqj — PolitiTweet.org

Germany gets that renewable energy is a “no-brainer for any government with any form of foresight.” Fossil fuel obstruction campaign still hampers U.S. https://t.co/K7gKD5frYb — PolitiTweet.org

To the 16k+ Rhode Islanders who signed @AARPRI’s petition in support of allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, thank you for making your voice heard. I am with you – we have to get this done for our seniors this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Will can be a pretty abject fossil-fuel flunky, but he’s got a way with words: “Trump, the suppurating wound on American life, and…those who share his curdled venom.” https://t.co/xoNlvjLrzt — PolitiTweet.org

Per Zelenskyy: American (and international) companies should close up their stores in Russia, stop sending their goods to Russian stores, and cease all maintenance and support of equipment located in Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

For every dollar of drugs sold, a dollar of revenue is hidden. Yet only a fraction of government resources are used to address money laundering & the dark economy of the drug trade. Now, the Senate Narcotics Caucus is focused on attacking the financing schemes run by cartels. — PolitiTweet.org

Important update for Rhode Islanders: the American Rescue Plan expanded the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit for 2021. That means you could get up to $4,000 for one qualifying dependent, or $8,000 for two. Learn more here: https://t.co/jHDqHx2fig https://t.co/3ShviVMitO — PolitiTweet.org
