While people around the world battle demand surges and supply-chain issues, multinational corporations are jacking up prices, boosting CEO pay, and making life hard for consumers. That’s just wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

This is really about Raskin, and it’s driven by fossil fuel polluters, for whom too many colleagues are mere minions. https://t.co/oSwuB41I1D — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not in the Constitution, by the way. Corporate political power was slowly and steadily invented and grown by Republicans on the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Open question why corporate forces should have controlling clout in Congress; so long as they do, they should have some modicum of public responsibility; climate effort proves that they don’t. We should reconsider letting them have that clout when it’s used for evil. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This overlooks another fact: corporate politics/lobbying remains net OPPOSED to climate legislation. No safe pathway on climate without a serious bill; no net corporate support (near-zero individual corporate support) for serious bill; do the math. https://t.co/F6Ta8m7rON — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pushing Treasury to swiftly & decisively end kleptocrats and criminals’ access to rule-of-law financial systems. Strong anti-money laundering measures protect our national security. https://t.co/BaNnpmeRau — PolitiTweet.org

Corrupt leaders who rob their own people shouldn’t be able to protect their loot using our laws and financial system. I’m fighting for more transparency and stronger penalties to make sure they can’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Driest since Charlemagne. Yet fossil fuel still obstructs, as do some politicians from the area (not the era).     https://t.co/JMR8f02zgz — PolitiTweet.org

Out-of-state dark money organizations have spent the last year pushing voter suppression laws through state legislatures. Voters deserve to see the players behind this campaign, and my DISCLOSE Act would pull back the curtain. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Amicus briefs have become a Trojan Horse for special interests seeking to influence the Supreme Court, and big Republican donors keep on winning. My AMICUS Act would close this loophole and enforce real financial disclosures. https://t.co/nO5F3J8S2c — PolitiTweet.org

Corporations that advertise sustainability should make sure their plans measure up. Too many belong to trade associations ignoring or fighting climate legislation. It’s time to commit. — PolitiTweet.org

But worst of all is that those companies spend zero political capital on climate effort in Congress: fossil fuel is up to its usual misdeeds; the rest of corporate America is still below net-zero on effort. — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of carbon offsets are bogus. There’s not enough integrity. https://t.co/wW1C9pMz2t — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to $22 million over five years from the bipartisan infrastructure law, it’s about to get a lot more convenient to drive an electric car around Rhode Island. — PolitiTweet.org

We must protect our democracy by restoring our Supreme Court to the impartial arbiter of constitutional outcomes it once was before right-wing capture. — PolitiTweet.org

I can bear sad witness to our “listless Democratic party” in face of “power grabs...to enshrine corporate prerogative as a first-order principle of constitutional rule.” https://t.co/B1vltI56pL — PolitiTweet.org

Hunting for hand-blown glass orbs has become a tradition on Block Island – it’s a great excuse to enjoy its beautiful coastal trail network. Here’s an interesting piece about the Rhode Islanders who make it all happen.   https://t.co/oYivRJHzpT — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to a prompt & respectful confirmation process for President Biden’s Supreme Court pick. The dark money organizations that captured the Court will attempt to disrupt the confirmation, but we’re prepared to push back very hard against that false pressure. — PolitiTweet.org

Less happy news: a friend is waiting for a medical procedure because hospitals are clogged with people who didn’t get vaccinated. Please get vaccinated and spare our hospitals. — PolitiTweet.org

The “truth telltale” of when you can start trusting Big Oil is when they come clean on their secret funding through the last decade of climate obstruction. Confession is good for the soul. https://t.co/WTIjCIZj1b — PolitiTweet.org

In U.S. it’s 68-16 for fossil fuel accountability. But fossil fuel dark money assures the public isn’t heard. https://t.co/jH88pn8QVn — PolitiTweet.org
