On this day in 1919, the Senate approved the 19th amendment, establishing a woman’s right to vote and strengthening our democracy. Today, we must continue the fight to preserve our democracy against those who seek to bring it down. — PolitiTweet.org

Funny that Polluter Page gets in this huff to suppress critical race theory, but eagerly spreads fossil fuel lies about climate change “hoax” (yes, even before Trump, that’s what Polluter Page called it). https://t.co/ZdwN7cRc71 — PolitiTweet.org

When is DOJ going to give climate fraud cases an honest look? They did with tobacco, and won! https://t.co/iiA7gQYIvY — PolitiTweet.org

There have been too many lives lost, too many suffering families, & too many children who don’t feel safe. On Gun Violence Prevention & Awareness Day, I stand with millions of Americans calling for sensible gun control to end this crisis before it claims more lives. #WearOrange — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe next tell execs to immediately review their climate lobbying? Maybe they can explain why all corporate trade associations are silent or worse on serious climate legislation as we spin towards catastrophe? https://t.co/JVNLH9Fv1g — PolitiTweet.org

Somebody has to start this, or “free rider” countries could cheat and cause climate mayhem. Pity it’s not the United States. We’ll lead from behind on this one, I guess. https://t.co/tC3GhFz57t — PolitiTweet.org

Hoo-boy. Just discovered BOEM scheduled California Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force meeting (offshore wind) on same day June Pacific Fishery Management Council begins. Fishery Council not even on their calendar at Dept. of INTERIOR? — PolitiTweet.org

Best case: shrunk infrastructure bill w no serious climate stuff; Rs get bipartisan cred. Worst case: delay for nothing. Either way: climate to the curb. https://t.co/G4CzlY8v51 — PolitiTweet.org

On #LouGehrigDay, we recognize the ALS patients and their families who fight bravely against this relentless disease. It was an honor to help them secure quicker access to Social Security benefits for ALS patients, and now we push to expand funding for research. Onward to a cure! — PolitiTweet.org

Berman decision and defense reliance on disinformation conspiracy will make it harder for DOJ to round up a few Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and sweep the rest of the planners, organizers, instigators and funders under the rug. https://t.co/Xi00Ul0O75 — PolitiTweet.org

Real bipartisanship is doing big stuff Americans of both parties like. Mitch bipartisanship is the La Brea Tar Pit for those big ideas. — PolitiTweet.org

During #PrideMonth, we celebrate hard-won progress, and recognize how far we must go toward full equality. Next up, pass the #EqualityAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Time is tick, tick, ticking past. Every day spent on hopeless bipartisanship is a day not spent on climate. We can survive bumpy roads; a ruined planet is for eons. https://t.co/ccyWsZDpmT — PolitiTweet.org

For a century, the Tulsa Massacre went ignored by almost all but those who experienced it. We must remember the lives and livelihoods lost in that horror, and continue to strive toward racial justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, on BlackRock: “If (CEO) Larry Fink called on every company to adopt a Paris-compliant climate-transition plan & report it against these targets every year, or said ‘we are going to vote against your board,’ every company would do it overnight.” — PolitiTweet.org

By contrast, in the U.S. Senate, Mitch McConnell just says no, and his Republican ‘Mitchinery’ obediently pivots, and that’s that — zero effort required to obstruct. — PolitiTweet.org

This #MemorialDay, we honor the women and men who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. Let us all give thanks and remember the values their service reflected—values of decency, duty, and patriotism. — PolitiTweet.org

Those controlling the Republican Party are a mix of nutty conspiracy theory and creepy billionaire mischief — the economic welfare of Americans is not either’s priority. — PolitiTweet.org

In return, Breyer should “think long and hard” about: -pattern of 80 5-4 decisions for R donor interests  -false factfinding of Shelby and Citizens -why Court won’t do real amicus or gifts disclosure -dark money turnstile/ad barrages behind last 3 members https://t.co/KaHraKcjk7 — PolitiTweet.org

Actually this was less “partisan divide” than Night of the Wackos, who made their own Republican colleagues as hopping mad as any Democrat was.    https://t.co/7ICU2BHt0G — PolitiTweet.org
