Plastic waste can linger in our environment for thousands of years, choking wildlife and leeching toxins into vital food supplies. I’m fighting for a plastic polluter fee to boost recycling and hold the plastics industry accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Even after decades of remediation, lead hazards continue to lurk in many older homes in RI. I’m glad I could help secure federal funding to help kids grow up healthy by catching and treating lead poisoning sooner. — PolitiTweet.org

We did this. Republicans objected. But the results are in. https://t.co/qq7P9VUf3B — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell just 2 years ago: “America can’t default. That would be a disaster.” Now he’s flirting with that disaster because he thinks it’ll notch him a political win. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a “Who you gonna believe, me or your own lying eyes?” moment — and we have seen what they have done. Elbow deep in cookie jar. — PolitiTweet.org

What about the slippery, dark-money-fueled new appointments, and the perfect record in partisan decisions of 80 wins for big Republican donor interests? https://t.co/g9nFw0IT8t — PolitiTweet.org

I stand with my colleagues as #CongressGoesPurple in honor of National Recovery Month. The pandemic posed new challenges for those battling substance use and mental health problems. We’ve made progress to help, but there’s still much more to do. https://t.co/J9GS65MzJ1 — PolitiTweet.org

RI’s Elizabeth Beisel swam for a great cause this weekend, and I’m glad to hear she completed her 13 mile journey quickly and safely. What an impressive achievement! Congratulations, @ebeisel34. https://t.co/p9wqzpPaDM — PolitiTweet.org

This happened to these kids because Republicans in Congress became toadies for fossil fuel money. Simple as that. The industry lied, and corrupted Congress, so it could make more money, while ruining the planet. Evil upon evil. https://t.co/3yBKYZdCUv — PolitiTweet.org

First generation & low income Rhode Islanders use CCRI’s TRIO programs to succeed in college and beyond, unlocking new doors for themselves & their families. I’m glad I could help secure a $7.4 million grant to keep these gateways to progress strong. https://t.co/UP12D3MNfi — PolitiTweet.org

“The consequences of climate change are already catastrophic, and only getting worse…Yet Republicans remain in denial” because “the GOP…is afraid to take on…oil and gas interests.”https://t.co/Ga5jSVl593 — PolitiTweet.org

Kick out the bottom of the food chain and lots of stuff collapses. Up one step is the pteropod, a core species suffering massive levels of “severe shell damage” from oceans acidified by fossil fuel emissions. https://t.co/PTDRFdRR1e — PolitiTweet.org

The wacky Arizona “audit” is in and “found Biden defeated former President Donald Trump in Maricopa County by about 45,000 votes, a slight increase of Biden’s margin from the official count.”😂 https://t.co/enhfV1235K — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, utilities retreat from the admin's Clean Energy Performance Program. Talk is cheap. — PolitiTweet.org

Especially bad in the oil & gas and electric utility sectors. O&G companies that claim to support pollution pricing are trying to kill a methane price and back out of carbon pricing. https://t.co/XPgXNObxqN — PolitiTweet.org

RT @brianschatz: Don’t call it an audit. My goodness how hard is it to use accurate language about a coup attempt. — PolitiTweet.org

Reproductive choices are personal decisions, and the government has no right to interfere. After the Supreme Court refused to protect women in Texas, I’m glad to see the House pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Here is the sad but simple truth: if you don’t change an industry’s economics, it won’t change its behavior. And if it doesn’t change, there will be more waste plastic than living fish in the ocean by 2050. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Plastics industry is cool with using less than 2% recycled plastic in single-use disposables, and cool with less than 10% of plastics “recycling” actually being recycled, but when you try to fix it, they run a full page ad to make things up about the bill. Did they even read it? https://t.co/IN9s03O2ST — PolitiTweet.org

By contrast, the Sunday TV ‘political gossip columns’ have a terrible track record on climate. When late night comedy TV is more substantive on climate than Sunday political TV, there’s a problem. https://t.co/KsjVJBs0LW — PolitiTweet.org

CEOs of 26 leading U.S. companies applaud carbon pollution pricing we are working on in Finance, and urge that “Congress must pass effective climate legislation now.” Nothing is more effective than making polluters pay a fee for carbon emissions. https://t.co/hutTSWFzkb — PolitiTweet.org

Moody’s says @ExxonMobil scored poorly both on investment in low carbon technologies and exposure to stranded assets — another data point belying Exxon claims. — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see this done. It was a long, quiet fight to get that HFCs measure passed, including some opposition from our own side. But we’re there and that’s what matters. Next, methane and carbon. https://t.co/GuWwxJR644 — PolitiTweet.org
