We bid goodbye to John Lewis one year ago today. He was a special person, a giant of our time, and a true and kindly hero. I miss him. https://t.co/J9Yq91DEtZ — PolitiTweet.org

This is not theory. Look at DOJ failing to pursue successful tobacco model against climate disinformation scheme. They went nuts and DOJ stood down. — PolitiTweet.org

Once it’s known prosecutors will avoid political controversy, powerful villains will wield political controversy to dodge proper accountability. https://t.co/oD0p6k9EPk — PolitiTweet.org

New report from @NOAA showing record-setting high-tide flooding. This isn’t a fluke; it’s a taste of what’s to come. The time to fund resiliency projects and prepare our coasts is right now. — PolitiTweet.org

#DACA recognizes Dreamers as the Americans they are. But another Republican-appointed judge is trying to tear it down and send Dreamers to countries they don't call home. Enough. It’s time for Congress to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Wonderful being able to tell disabilities advocates meeting w Sec Becerra that real support is coming. This week’s Budget agreement contemplates hundreds of billions. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Great to show @HHSGov @SecBecerra around Rhode Island today! He said he was here to recognize our success in the health care space and lift up Rhody as a model for other states. Thanks for visiting, Secretary! https://t.co/A6IuHAH7gK — PolitiTweet.org

With @RIDOTNews to kick off Pell Bridge ramp construction. The new ramps will make for smoother, faster entry to Newport and free up land for economic development. My hope is that this project will be just the first step in upgrading the iconic bridge. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not just their tax breaks for the rich, it’s hobbling the IRS so corporate donors can cheat and not get caught. Time to clean up the tax swamp. https://t.co/V1aRQegrph — PolitiTweet.org

The voter suppression fixation of Republicans in all these state legislative bodies is plainly a coordinated activity, and equally plainly it has the dark money apparatus behind it. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

There are few things that enrage the American public more than crooked dark money political spending. But if you’ve used dark money groups to capture the Supreme Court, they’ll defend your corrupt & unpopular scheme. https://t.co/ltYhNZ3jgj — PolitiTweet.org

I was very proud to recommend Judge Thompson to Pres. Obama to serve on the 1st Circuit. During her tenure, she has been an exemplary jurist and a strong voice for fairness and justice. I wish her all the best as she transitions to senior status. — PolitiTweet.org

Starting today, parents in Rhode Island and across the country will begin to receive monthly direct deposits of up to $300 per child thanks to the #ChildTaxCredit enhancement included in the American Rescue Plan. Find out more here: https://t.co/f9fq3NIiBr — PolitiTweet.org

And unless there’s a secret Methane Leakers Caucus I don’t know about, putting lots of people to work fixing methane leaks and protecting our air ought to be politically welcome across the board. Except by the leakers, of course. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Here is the solution. Charge the leakers for the methane they leak. Experts who looked at our methane fee predict massive reduction in this dangerous greenhouse gas once the industry has to pay. This instantly becomes a top climate intervention. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Here are the facts. The gas industry leaks methane like crazy, and has ducked even fair reporting of its leakage. Satellites can now pick up the leakage so we know how bad it is. Leaking methane is free to them so they don’t care. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A price on methane emissions, a carbon border adjustment fee, and robust investments in clean energy have been included in the $3.5 trillion plan. More to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

What’s in the new infrastructure budget framework everyone’s talking about? There’s a lot to be worked out, but one thing is clear: climate wasn’t forgotten. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

It’s a shame we are lagging not leading, but new budget deal has all the room we need to catch up and more. Onward to reconciliation. https://t.co/myWfoicmk4 — PolitiTweet.org

A big Happy Birthday to @davidcicilline, a principled warrior with whom I’m very proud to serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Today’s Republican party has settled on voter suppression as its path to power. Across the country, Republican legislatures have swiveled in unison to restrict voting, as if on command. And guess what? Dark money groups have been caught taking credit for this. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

My CARA bill broke the logjam on major opioids legislation. Now we need to pass bipartisan CARA 3.0. It will save more lives. https://t.co/4QfcGmTSn8 — PolitiTweet.org

Always a pleasure working with @SenWarren to crack down on tax scams used by the ultra-wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Thank you, @MarkWarner, for recognizing how hard I've been pushing to get climate provisions included in the reconciliation process. I am proud of what this Committee accomplished last night. Onward! https://t.co/hZjuhhqb4r — PolitiTweet.org

ATTN parents: Be on the lookout for the expanded Child Tax Credit direct deposit in your account as soon as tomorrow. These payments will be monthly. More info on who qualifies/what to expect: https://t.co/IahhoAlWli — PolitiTweet.org

Old school Senate stuff watching committee bring Warner and Bernie together to unity. It was emotional, there were tears, and it was kind and respectful. Felt good. — PolitiTweet.org

Quoting someone I like: “This is a big effing deal.” :-) $4.1 trillion including the bipartisan measure. — PolitiTweet.org
