We have “white smoke over the Vatican” in the Budget Committee. On to the caucus, and to reconciliation, and to success. — PolitiTweet.org

This week’s Scheme speech discusses two decisions just delivered by the Court – Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. FEC and Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee – that reflect the patterns and purposes of the Court-capture effort. https://t.co/LgkaE3zYkW — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenSchumer: We ran the numbers again. We did a deep dive. We used a computer. We used a calculator. We got out the flip phone. We count… — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see this and bravo @thetowndock! The easier it is to get vaccinated, the safer we all are. https://t.co/8p0E80cKPz — PolitiTweet.org

And then FBI told me they couldn’t meet the criminal burden of proof — but tobacco was a civil fraud case. If you just read the tobacco complaint it’s obvious. DOJ/FBI never gave it an honest look. Why not? — PolitiTweet.org

No one spoke to any experts who study climate denial. No one asked for a single fossil fuel document. No one spoke to Eubanks, who won the tobacco case. No DOJ lawyer was assigned to the case. — PolitiTweet.org

AG Lynch said she’d look into a tobacco-style fraud case on climate denial. DOJ had won that case. Then, it appears… https://t.co/JcxF8ZwpxF — PolitiTweet.org

The Restaurant Revitalization Fund has been a lifeline for many of the beloved restaurants that help make RI such a great place to live. More $ is needed for RRF. https://t.co/jVtLzAILTO — PolitiTweet.org

The Court That Dark Money Built just handed Republican donors a massive win by hollowing out the Voting Rights Act. Now, big-money interests can rig our democracy with even less accountability to the public. Let’s pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to repair SCOTUS’s damage. — PolitiTweet.org

The boom will also stress regulators, leaving analytic gaps for lawsuits to exploit. Best to play fair from the start. — PolitiTweet.org

A lot depends on whether the offshore wind industry tries to roll over fishermen & other ocean stakeholders, creating resentment, resistance & litigation. https://t.co/DE1ONHtDrN — PolitiTweet.org

Look for the dirty hands of the fossil fuel industry behind Republican efforts to obstruct this review. It’s for our own safety, but they don’t care. Don’t be swayed, Janet — don’t be swayed. https://t.co/2Eh4XeQ4W6 — PolitiTweet.org

How many warnings do we need? https://t.co/SZmjFvcpqh — PolitiTweet.org

.@RBrulle and @redunlap1 are heroes for their work studying, identifying and reporting on the climate denial operation in its many guises. The biggest covert op in US history — we let the bastards get away with it. https://t.co/vQACt1rWtM — PolitiTweet.org

Another court joins the surge. Australia joins Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Nepal, Columbia, and more. https://t.co/mMSMjCEdGx — PolitiTweet.org

And these are some of the ways we can reclaim the Court, for the people not the covert special interests that stocked it.   https://t.co/F2XN43WsqV — PolitiTweet.org

Our reward? The Court That Dark Money Built just created a constitutional right to dark money, perpetuating the system that rigged the Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We lost because we slept through it, because we ignored the dark money operation that did it, and because those out to capture the Court cared more.  https://t.co/ICpozefeuI — PolitiTweet.org

Exactly: “Taking on this argument means treating tax reform as far more than a ‘pay for.’ It’s good policy in and of itself.” https://t.co/iQzyBrWJKU — PolitiTweet.org

Well done to President Biden for taking a hard line with Putin on Russian ransomware attacks. Now we’ve got to pass my legislation to strengthen U.S. defenses. We’ve known about this threat for a long while; it’s past time we took action. — PolitiTweet.org

I read this today: “Think this summer is hot? Consider it the coolest of the rest of the 21st century.” — PolitiTweet.org

House investigators should get Exxon to come clean about its “shadow group” funding and its role in U.S. Chamber of Commerce becoming a “worst climate obstructor” (tied w NAM). Follow the money. Chamber should come clean about fossil fuel funding too. https://t.co/Weu7GUrtCZ — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Mr. President, for your attention to those who helped our troops and diplomats in Afghanistan. Right to do. https://t.co/Jh8aawOf4l — PolitiTweet.org

Even George Will falls for the canard that dark money political operations are “speech” and not corruption via political covert ops (think climate denial). https://t.co/S7DlER6tR8 — PolitiTweet.org

90% of excess climate change heat is in oceans. So is 30% of CO2. Listen to the marine scientists. Pass my Blue Carbon bill. https://t.co/6k6GIFvD0g — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The facts are the facts: Exxon knew; Exxon lied; Exxon paid front groups to do its dirty work; Exxon corrupted our politics; Exxon has never come clean; and Exxon is probably still at it. The rest is just . . . malarkey. https://t.co/2QiTUsc7mT — PolitiTweet.org

This #PlasticsFree July, we pledge to fight the plastic waste poisoning our oceans. My bipartisan Save Our Seas bills made progress when they were signed into law, but we’ve got a lot more work to do to leave behind healthier oceans. — PolitiTweet.org

The fossil fuel industry is the culprit. https://t.co/z2OzdRUC7F — PolitiTweet.org
