The men & women who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6th showed bravery in the face of grave danger. Their heroism saved lives and bought precious time for others rushing to safety. They deserve to be heard, and we all should listen. — PolitiTweet.org

This week’s Scheme speech discusses the dark-money gatekeeper, the Federalist Society, and how the group and its long-time leader, Leonard Leo, built the power necessary to deliver a complete overhaul of the Supreme Court in less than four years. https://t.co/PugljRVBWl — PolitiTweet.org

Good move, @Fidelity! Make it real — there’s lots of green washing out there. (Hint: if they are paying trade associations that don’t support serious climate legislation, it’s not real.) https://t.co/DjWgsOHkYf https://t.co/UNhL4NHvhg — PolitiTweet.org

On climate, remember that this is not just the worst year in the last ten to twenty years, it’s also likely the best year in the next ten or twenty years. The worst is yet to come. https://t.co/cFoZ8gI1r4 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m heartened to see so many people expressing support for my persistence & digging to get answers from the FBI about the fake “tip line” they ran for the Kavanaugh investigation. I also want to debunk some of the falsehoods I’ve heard since the news broke. Here’s the real story: https://t.co/FlBtlBNaIc — PolitiTweet.org

I’m really sorry. My condolences to the Enzi family. https://t.co/LJgX1mTZ7F — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @mayorbobdasilva @GreggAmore1 for joining on a tour of the new East Providence High School. Almost ready for the school year. https://t.co/1y8qT1tMzy — PolitiTweet.org

Here is another overview of our work to expose the FBI’s fake Kavanaugh “tip line” that ran, instead of through FBI tip line procedure, straight to Trump White House. https://t.co/uBswyrXnTt — PolitiTweet.org

Housing costs are on the rise in RI, putting a real squeeze on renters and first-time homebuyers. I joined @1_neighborhood this morning to cut the ribbon on new homes in Olneyville to help meet the demand for more affordable housing. — PolitiTweet.org

The disability community fought hard to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act 31 years ago, and their persistent advocacy has made our country a more equitable and accessible place. There's a lot to celebrate, and much more to do. #ADA31 — PolitiTweet.org

Put more simply: right-wing billionaires are funding a massive covert psy-ops warfare operation within (and against) their own country. https://t.co/9UlyboLdWz — PolitiTweet.org

If there’s such a thing as a ‘fisheries regulation Cinderella story,’ this is it! https://t.co/sY1pHQlZ6E — PolitiTweet.org

Seems like the real eco-saboteurs here are the fossil fuel industry, whose climate denial and obstruction the Republican Party parrots while reveling in polluter dark money. https://t.co/QCcpWTmNLW — PolitiTweet.org

For Rhode Islanders struggling to make rent, help is available. Rent Relief RI can provide up 12 months of aid for qualifying individuals. It's an excellent program that makes a real difference in people's lives. https://t.co/rRZgoF8YQP — PolitiTweet.org

This year, my bipartisan Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act will fight state-sponsored doping and help keep the Olympics clean. @TeamUSA has overcome incredible barriers to prepare for the Olympics, and they (like all athletes) deserve a fair shot at gold. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Gives the lie to their nominal support for a carbon pollution fee, too. What’s the diff between pricing CO2 emissions and pricing methane leakage? Why one and not the other? Truth is, they want none of it, just to pollute for free. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

.@APIenergy opposes my methane fee… so we need to pass it. Perfect example of oil/gas trade association working (as always) to block climate legislation. Where do you stand @Shell @bp_plc, others?  PS-API doesn’t really support regulating methane either! https://t.co/0VIKhyC0ic https://t.co/yFWuVcr26O — PolitiTweet.org

If withdrawing from Afghanistan is the right thing to do, there are right ways and wrong ways to do it. https://t.co/l0j0nR7aWZ — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a video I filmed during the Trump administration (sigh) explaining why it’s so important to have a strong firewall between DOJ and the White House. https://t.co/VzOiWWW3nk — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This used to be considered a niche issue. Now we’ve seen why it’s so important. https://t.co/MnhoVwET7R — PolitiTweet.org

RT @Slate: It is hard to be horrified by the explicit confirmation from the FBI that this was indeed a sham investigation. https://t.co/02D… — PolitiTweet.org

I can’t add much to this: https://t.co/7yjLmzBIj0 — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks five years since my bipartisan Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act was signed into law. We’re now onto CARA 3.0, and I’ll keep fighting to get Americans the treatment options and support they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The very bare minimum that a person who comes forward is owed, is sincere and thorough investigation. Dr. Blasey Ford was denied that. As today’s letter shows, the investigation continues. Everyone deserves real answers, not cover-ups. https://t.co/Jx20vpjGAF — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Victims don’t always get redress, but their serious allegations deserve serious investigation, not a “tip line” garbage chute to a White House Counsel desperate to cover up the facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

No wonder so many witnesses were so frustrated when they tried to bring evidence forward. I’ve heard tales that even FBI agents not in on the scam sent info to the “tip line.” That must feel like a burn. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I charged that the “tip line” was really a tip dump, with all the tips going straight into the dumpster without investigation. In fact it was a tip dump where all the tips went straight to White House Counsel without investigation. Same difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

So when Wray said they followed procedures, he meant the “procedure” of doing whatever Trump White House Counsel told them to do. That’s misleading as hell. — PolitiTweet.org
