Using burner phones to set up January 6? Smacks of “consciousness of guilt.” https://t.co/2tMlAh70ze — PolitiTweet.org

Thanksgiving is about giving back, and I was happy to lend a hand at Westbay Community Action earlier this week. Many RI families in need will be able to enjoy a hearty holiday meal thanks to @WestbayCmty and @RIFoodBank. https://t.co/MDQ3hMli8h — PolitiTweet.org

This is what a historic economic recovery looks like. While there's much more to do, this is an important sign of progress. https://t.co/8MUNNsH4MB — PolitiTweet.org

Moody’s calls out $22 trillion in loans and investment subject to “carbon transition risk.” When banks and economists warn about “carbon bubble” crash, that’s the scale. Jay Powell & Fed need to wake up. https://t.co/oE9gHn9hjn — PolitiTweet.org

I am glad to see the Jan. 6 Committee investigate the groups who funded and organized the attack on our Capitol. I urged my colleagues in the House to follow the money, and they have. This is progress. https://t.co/Ca1b59L4fy — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the businesses along Main St. in East Greenwich for the hospitality yesterday. Let’s give a strong show of support for RI’s independent shops and restaurants this holiday season and keep those dollars circulating in our community and supporting local jobs. #ShopSmall https://t.co/q8QCfhVH0P — PolitiTweet.org

Homeownership has helped millions of Americans build lasting wealth and better lives for their families. The Build Back Better Act is poised to help first-generation homebuyers afford down payments and reap those same benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Also a good comment on hapless Biden SCOTUS Commission: “too preoccupied with the need for court legitimacy to redress the causes of court illegitimacy.” (Pretty much exactly what my letter said.) https://t.co/w5KqVuuYlu — PolitiTweet.org

Fed should conduct scenario analysis of what happens to heavily fossil-fuel-dependent states when ‘carbon bubble’ bursts. We have global estimates, which show U.S. hit very hard; within U.S., some states could be massacred, and they should be warned. — PolitiTweet.org

Again and again, the Far Right endangers the health & wellbeing of millions of women by attacking their reproductive rights. #AbortionIsEssential, and the Supreme Court knew that in 1973. Overturning Roe would be a disastrous setback for this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank goodness for courts. https://t.co/tjNhFfixgQ — PolitiTweet.org

Go, Dahlia! After addition of “Federalist Society sock puppets” to Court, “only 32 percent … believe the highest court in the land is motivated by the law.” Maybe poll also shows only 68 percent are paying attention. https://t.co/MJMDcut4jf — PolitiTweet.org

.@RIFoodBank is doing incredible work ensuring that tens of thousands of families in need have enough to eat this holiday season and all year long. Glad to lend a hand and drop off food donations from my RI staff. https://t.co/G811KOVFUW — PolitiTweet.org

The Court could’ve stopped Texas’s abortion bounty-hunting scheme from taking effect. Now, with every day the Court lets tick by, the scheme’s devastating consequences continue for women. — PolitiTweet.org

At the State House earlier today for a ceremony honoring women Veterans of Rhode Island. Very glad to see their service & achievements commemorated with a new plaque. https://t.co/eZ7NQ6jcez — PolitiTweet.org

73,000 Rhode Islanders spend at least 1/3 of their income on rent. That puts other necessities out of reach. The Build Back Better Act expands America's supply of affordable housing and gets rental assistance to those who need it. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Did you know Rhode Islanders over 18 can now schedule appointments to get a COVID-19 booster shot? Together, we can keep transmission down and protect the most vulnerable members of our community. https://t.co/63r9nC7GLX — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @NECouncil for hosting a great discussion this morning. There’s a lot for RI businesses to like in our newly passed infrastructure bill. https://t.co/N6L9zuj3Pr — PolitiTweet.org

The Build Back Better plan is a powerful and much-needed investment in the American people. Now, we’re even closer to getting it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

No community should be cut off from quick and affordable internet. The bipartisan infrastructure law is bringing $100 million dollars to RI to make sure everybody gets connected. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The Build Back Better plan is going to tackle childhood poverty in Rhode Island and across the country. That means tax credits for parents and caregivers, building on the program that led to the largest one-year drop in child poverty in U.S. history. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time for this country to get serious about supporting working families and tackling climate change. That’s what Build Back Better does – it’s a plan for shared prosperity on a livable planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Coastal states are in danger, but the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure law means we’ll get more funding to deal with floods, extreme weather, & erosion. I’m always fighting to keep Rhode Islanders safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Disgraceful that SCOTUS greenlighted this behavior as “nonjusticiable” after lower courts found justiciable remedies. https://t.co/PQ9lqLMm1G — PolitiTweet.org

From Rhode Island to Alaska, our oceans are in trouble. My Blue Carbon for Our Planet Act w/ @lisamurkowski would help preserve the tidal marshes, seagrasses, & kelp forests that provide a natural buffer to rising seas and absorb vast amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. — PolitiTweet.org

Rhode Islanders know our roads and bridges need serious repairs. Thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure law, the Ocean State is getting $1.7 billion dollars over 5 years to make it happen – that’s something to celebrate. — PolitiTweet.org

Any parent can tell you that maternal health care is essential both during & after a pregnancy. For that reason, I’m proud to support @SenSherrodBrown’s Healthy MOM Act, which helps mothers access affordable care before their children are born. — PolitiTweet.org
