The unvaccinated will feel the worst effects of the Delta variant. Please, reach out to loved ones who haven’t gotten the vaccine. It’s worth it to try, and you might save a life. — PolitiTweet.org

And last: this opinion signals return of DOJ to role of fair ombudsman in “accommodations process” to resolve conflicts over executive privilege. That’s a big deal if true. — PolitiTweet.org

As a judicial gatekeeper, @Fedsoc cares about one thing - the allegiance of Republican-appointed justices to right-wing donors' interests. Money talks, but dark money whispers. — PolitiTweet.org

Re arrogance of OLC: courts presume good faith of Congress as a constitutional matter; OLC said executive branch didn’t have to do the same. Hard to explain why an office supposed to align with court decisions wouldn’t align with those court decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

OLC takes another hit; this one from OLC. Regarding Trump OLC protecting Trump tax returns: “We question whether these objections were well-taken at the time.” And OLC now reverses the determination, based on respect due coordinate branch. https://t.co/10mHR9hkNR — PolitiTweet.org

Carl Levin was a favorite colleague, hyper-bright and principled, and a wonderful ally against the torture program with our friend John McCain. I am sad. Rest In Peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @ChrisCoons for signing on as a cosponsor of the Save Our Future Act. We need solutions on a scale big enough to lead our planet to safety in the race against climate change. The Save Our Future Act meets the moment. — PolitiTweet.org

For the past 56 years, Medicare & Medicaid programs have helped millions access affordable, comprehensive & lifesaving health care. Democrats remain committed to protecting & expanding them, so they can help millions more. PS Rhode Islanders had a lot to do with that! #56Covered — PolitiTweet.org

Our American Rescue Plan, which no Republican would vote for, has worked. Indeed it pushed U.S. poverty rates to an all-time low. That should not be a blip. Billionaires are competing over vanity rocket trips; let’s make these poverty gains permanent. https://t.co/tU1vO2H0WS — PolitiTweet.org

Not to mention the heads of the fossil fuel flunkies on the WSJ’s editorial-side Polluter Page, to see this report from their own WSJ news side! Go, news side!! — PolitiTweet.org

Seriously? Does this guy not understand that people not getting vaccinated and not wearing masks is what will put us in a “perpetual pandemic state”? — PolitiTweet.org

While there are some notable climate elements in the package, significantly more needs to be done.  I am working hard to ensure that the other piece of the infrastructure package moving on the reconciliation track will do heavy lifting in our race against climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

The scheme to capture the Court has the hallmarks of a covert intelligence operation run by a hostile country - dark money funders, anonymous advertising & enormous pay packages for its cronies. But this is a covert operation run against Americans by Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

“Scheme” speech last night was about millions in dark money to @FedSoc while it controlled Supreme Court nominations. How is that good? Regrettably, we now have The Court That Dark Money Built. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy we are proceeding toward reconciliation instructions. Our Budget Dems agreement sets excellent start point. — PolitiTweet.org

As my colleagues and I have argued to DOJ, Trump and his cronies issued immigration decisions that transformed our system into something much less fair. Attorney General Garland is doing the right thing in reversing those decisions. — PolitiTweet.org
