Some images and videos showing damage caused by Friday's tornadoes. Thank you to the emergency responders and volunteers who are working hard to help these communities. https://t.co/PnmfFcInKW — PolitiTweet.org

Dark money groups have empowered the far-right to reshape our judiciary in secret. Is it any surprise that the same orgs. fund climate obstruction & fight for polluter interests? We need to clean up this mess. — PolitiTweet.org

Safer roads can cut down on accidents and save lives. In Rhode Island, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is going to fund much-needed improvements to the roads & bridges we depend on. https://t.co/KfSk6s3Ad4 — PolitiTweet.org

Could not agree more, President @MarcParlange. RI's ocean economy is our strength. https://t.co/ntbl0aynhe — PolitiTweet.org

My heart goes out to the communities affected by last night’s tornados. This extreme weather system caused a shocking amount of destruction, and I am thinking of those who lost their loved ones and their homes. — PolitiTweet.org

When we pass Build Back Better we will cap the out of pocket cost of insulin so the gouging stops. https://t.co/1LsJdhJqDE — PolitiTweet.org

So Bravo Judge Gertner and Prof Tribe. You raise the issues the hapless commission ducked. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

In August 2019 I wrote an amicus brief that the Court was “not well.” Tribe slammed me. Two years later, it’s now his headline. Shows how the captured Court has crashed. https://t.co/BvdavHqUHO — PolitiTweet.org

In a time of record profits, it’s fair to question the big corporations that are padding their profits while raising prices. https://t.co/sptdElTtN4 — PolitiTweet.org

Good luck to the amazing Saildrone Explorers setting off from Newport to map the North Atlantic and study carbon dioxide absorbed by oceans. @universityofri scientists again leading the way. https://t.co/MzUBdazhGl — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of unequivocally rejecting this unconstitutional scheme, the Republican justices leave an open invitation for other states to try their hand by passing sneakier laws. And remember, the Dobbs torpedo is still on course to sink Roe. — PolitiTweet.org

The Texas abortion bounty hunting scheme has remained firmly in place for three months, and remains in effect today. Justice Sotomayor is right – the captured Court has betrayed both the citizens of Texas and our constitutional system of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to take part in President Biden’s Summit for Democracy with the Hudson Institute. Tune in soon for my conversation about illicit finance & kleptocracy with @NateSibley. — PolitiTweet.org

This disruption follows years and years and years of wage suppression as other economic indicators soared. I hope it’s another signal that wages and salaries will continue to rise — something long overdue — as we move away from “one percent” economy. https://t.co/tIqBUb5h0T — PolitiTweet.org

It costs over $10,000 to keep ONE toddler in child care in Rhode Island. It doesn't have to be this way. In RI, the Build Back Better Act will help the families of over 50,000 children afford child care. — PolitiTweet.org

Delivering my 10th floor speech on the Scheme to capture the Supreme Court. This one covers the Scheme’s ties to climate obstruction. https://t.co/LY8oPrM826 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Headed to the Senate floor to reveal the dark money organizations bankrolling both climate denial and far-right court capture. Grim stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

EV sales are roaring. Clean, quiet, low maintenance and high performance — easy to see why. https://t.co/ry9jL2Cieo — PolitiTweet.org

A8: @POTUS You can’t be a "city on a hill" if you allow dark-money schemers to fund anonymous attacks on voting rights. To uphold our commitment to the rule of law & global democracy, America must hold corrupt actors accountable and ensure citizens are well informed. #FTVtownhall — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A7: Political corruption undermines democracy and weakens voters’ confidence. Strong ethics rules can prevent under-the-table deals and expose conflicts of interest, forcing politicians to stay accountable to the people who elected them. #FTVtownhall — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A6: We have to hold tech companies to a higher standard. Disinformation is an incredibly toxic force in our politics, and platforms enable it by heedlessly pursuing engagement while ignoring signs of intentional deception. #FTVtownhall — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A5: Voters keep representatives accountable, and we need real accountability when it comes to tackling climate change & ending the pandemic. Public pressure means a lot more in a democracy than it does in an authoritarian regime, so these issues are very much linked. #FTVtownhall — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A4: We must protect the bedrock of our democracy by strengthening voting rights and ridding our politics of dark money. So we must pass the Freedom to Vote Act – which includes my DISCLOSE Act to clean up dark money – and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. #FTVtownhall — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A3: We can’t let partisan special interests hijack our democracy. The Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act – one of our best lines of defense. Now it’s on Congress to strengthen voter protections and safeguard our democracy. #FTVtownhall — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A2: When power flows from the people, the people need to have a say in how it’s used. That’s why free & fair elections are the foundation of a healthy democracy – and why we must protect them. #FTVtownhall — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Meanwhile, dark money has proved to be a toxic force in our democracy. My DISCLOSE Act, which is included in the Freedom To Vote Act, would put an end to massive anonymous spending in elections and uphold the independence of our courts. #FTVtownhall https://t.co/QJnqqtH6X9 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A1: As a U.S. Senator, I’m focused on defending our democracy and ending the scourge of dark money in American politics. With voter suppression & partisan gerrymandering on the rise, I'm determined to see the Freedom to Vote Act become law. #FTVtownhall — PolitiTweet.org

After years of growth in GDP, in CEO pay and in stock prices, growth at last comes to wages, which have lagged far behind in our “one percent” economy. https://t.co/An3JBrFC0g — PolitiTweet.org
