60 years of @URIGSO! We’re lucky to have world-class pioneers of ocean science here in RI. — PolitiTweet.org

PS: This was the case in which an unprecedented armada of 50 dark-money-funded front groups came to the Court at the certiorari stage to urge the Justices selected and campaigned for by dark money groups to take the case. It’s not even subtle. This is their big payback. — PolitiTweet.org

The Court That Dark Money Built just built dark money a home in our Constitution. A dark, dark day for democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t know of one Democratic Senator who supported “defunding the police.” Meanwhile, every Senate Republican opposed the Rescue Plan $$ that actually funded local, county and state police (and first responders) hit by the pandemic. https://t.co/2XxI4u8mko — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not just the pollution. It’s the fraud they committed, and the corruption they abetted, and the lasting damage of the “lost decade” they acquired with dark money. https://t.co/QNn0XJ3sS6 — PolitiTweet.org

This confirms what we in the arena have known: the @USChamber has been Public Enemy #1 on climate denial for a long time. With much to atone for, secrecy and dissembling remain their go-to schemes. https://t.co/RGnHNEOV4C — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @POTUS for flagging to me that he signs the methane CRA today — a good step, with more to come on methane. — PolitiTweet.org

The Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack shows why we should consider a regulated process for companies to respond when targeted. Many thanks to @SteveDaines for working on this exploratory bill with me. https://t.co/PM2ZdTQ0Wa — PolitiTweet.org

This weather isn’t a freak event. It’s climate change in action and it will get much, much worse if we don’t act. Michael is the guy fossil fuel flunkies tormented for the “hockey stick.” But the truth will come out, and they were lying. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve made incredible progress in the fight against COVID-19, but we still have a long way to go. Thankfully, vaccines are free, safe, and easy to find. Sign up at: https://t.co/e6YPSfNK2H — PolitiTweet.org

Without a price on carbon, it’s an uphill climb against $600B+ fossil fuel subsidy. https://t.co/AUjLY0l3zt — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A price on carbon will speed that up, as will verified offsets. https://t.co/GFgzYtD4PZ — PolitiTweet.org

Waterfire is a RI classic; it got clobbered by covid; Rescue Plan $$ will help it back on its feet. https://t.co/XFGsfBhAjz — PolitiTweet.org

55 of the biggest corporations in our country paid no federal income taxes last year. We ought to make sure giant companies pay their share, and invest in things that actually help people like education, infrastructure, and clean energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Won’t discovery be illuminating! How well do you suppose those schemers covered their tracks to hide the motive to suppress minority voting? Emails, texts, depositions (under oath) and other documents can tell quite a tale. — PolitiTweet.org

Michigan flooding, Northwest heat, Southwest drought — not normal. Time to wake up? — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting. Can we boom? https://t.co/d7qrttnT2b — PolitiTweet.org

Starting July 15, eligible parents will begin receiving automatic monthly payments of $250 for children 6 to 17 and $300 for children under 6 from the Child Tax Credit passed in the American Rescue Plan. Learn more here and help share the news ⬇️ https://t.co/f9fq3NZU01 — PolitiTweet.org

Good news out of @DEAHQ, which just issued a final rule allowing providers to operate mobile methadone clinics to better reach underserved areas. Next, we need to pass my CARA 3.0 bill with @senrobportman to further expand access to this important treatment. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Holding the electoral count open with objections bought time for rioters to disrupt the count and the peaceful transition of power. What did Republican House and Senate objectors know, and when did they know it? https://t.co/buP7DOcfnx — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

So when I liken right-wing dark money political schemes to covert intelligence operations, maybe not so far-fetched...  https://t.co/CZtiH8UOfp — PolitiTweet.org

(PS. This makes about two dozen hostile editorials out of them, mostly on my work around the Court. Something’s up with that.) — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

What if it turns out that a Justice got 50 “comped” vacations with partisan guests, and disclosed none of it? Shouldn’t we know, in examining disclosure rules? https://t.co/fSWmyVzpuH — PolitiTweet.org

92-8 my agricultural carbon bill passed the Senate this week! Many thanks to rest of our First Four, Sens. Stabenow, Braun and Graham. Excellent climate building block.  https://t.co/vti8xE1wsq — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I believe there is a firewall in the Senate to assure a real climate bill is achieved in reconciliation. Many of us believe a carbon price is essential to success, supported by multiple other measures; silver buckshot that steers us toward climate safety. https://t.co/GswKdnoAd8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

It is painfully clear that the Voting Rights Act was built for times like these. As attacks on our democracy grow, the Department of Justice has an opportunity to defend America’s founding principles and show the world that our laws still have teeth. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @MartinHeinrich: Today, the House acted to #CutMethane and took a huge step toward slowing the #ClimateCrisis. Now, onto the President’s… — PolitiTweet.org

.@davidcicilline’s bipartisan fight against Big Tech’s strangling monopolies has lured dark money groups out of the shadows. Thankfully, he’s got our DISCLOSE Act to tackle dark money schemes. https://t.co/r4nmc68PDi — PolitiTweet.org

As we come toward a critical moment to address climate change, remember “carbon pricing—now widely accepted as the most important policy tool to achieve the drastic cuts to emissions we need.” https://t.co/7Er3SGhctf — PolitiTweet.org
