Sister Ann is smiling from above to see her beloved Nonviolence Institute getting this recognition and support. https://t.co/8v0jd7k8no — PolitiTweet.org

I’m happy to have it official that Janet Coit is coming to Commerce. She will be great on oceans, where LOTS of work needs to be done to protect them. And a friendly, cheerful RI face! — PolitiTweet.org

I hoped my Republican colleagues would let us pursue the truth, and not allow a bullying former president and his toxic lie about a stolen election to stand in the way of a thorough investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply disappointed Mitch McConnell & so many other Republicans voted to block this bipartisan measure. The American people deserve a full accounting of the events of January 6, from the attack on our brave Capitol Police officers to the forces that organized the violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Last night’s fandango shows (a) Mitch has lost control of his caucus (indeed left the Floor entirely), and (b) Rs will be just as horrible in regular order (after getting more amendments in one bill than we got in a year under McConnell) as in vote-a-rama. — PolitiTweet.org

Dangle the bait; lure us to forgo the alternative; then slow walk us; then never get to 60. Oh, and no climate btw. https://t.co/5JcbnHb0G4 — PolitiTweet.org

People want “together days” when everyone’s in, but have gotten used to the flexibility of working from home. We’re figuring it out as we go, but that’s where we’ll start. — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW, after over a year of remote work, my staff are now vaccinated and will soon start splitting their time between the office and working from home. https://t.co/2FQMRGwBM4 — PolitiTweet.org

I joined colleagues and climate leaders @brianschatz @RepCasten in introducing a bill to ensure that large financial institutions are conducting risk tests so they are ready for the numerous climate-related threats looming. We can’t afford to ignore the warnings. — PolitiTweet.org

Check out my interview with @ACAMS_ml_com about my new role chairing the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control and how we can work to shrink the massive dark economy used by narcotics traffickers, international criminals, terrorists, and oligarchs. — PolitiTweet.org

I helped craft the federal highway bill that advanced to the Senate Floor. It would direct more than $1.5 billion to Rhode Island to upgrade our roads, bridges, and highways, and support good jobs in the process. — PolitiTweet.org

Climate activity stalled in infrastructure. Little effort w corporate America. Now this. I’ve got a sinking feeling. https://t.co/87JSJtB1ij — PolitiTweet.org

Rigging elections by keeping ‘some people’ from voting is now a Republican priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Fossil fuel tentacles into the Republican Party run deep. One could say the Party is now de facto the political wing of the fossil fuel industry — hence the total failure of bipartisanship for over a decade on any significant climate legislation. https://t.co/U6G7Kguh72 — PolitiTweet.org

And the Little Engine That Could, did!!! Bravo. https://t.co/stviscotTh — PolitiTweet.org

Go, Little Engine! Ask them for full disclosure on their direct and indirect political influence operations supporting climate denial and obstruction. https://t.co/2JV3kLheKF — PolitiTweet.org

“The Little Engine That Could”? Imagine if Exxon had to disclose its anti-climate political influence operations. Shareholders should know how their money is spent. https://t.co/bP6XaqWwYe — PolitiTweet.org

Another good ruling for climate from a German court. https://t.co/njYSlv25lE — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Republican judges, cleared through a fossil-fuel-funded judicial nominations turnstile, constantly protect fossil fuel industry (hence constant efforts by polluters to “remove” to federal court). Nice to see other judiciaries not so compromised. https://t.co/bxrY3g3Iv0 — PolitiTweet.org

So are we prepared for the foreseeable aftermath? https://t.co/wPjXUoU3VC — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Crony capitalism, political influence and corporate welfare produce taxpayer bailouts like this. So much for fierce independence and standing on your own two feet. https://t.co/i5qy7MfUmL — PolitiTweet.org

I can’t wait for the discovery and depositions in this lawsuit! https://t.co/gAOcCCMlyP — PolitiTweet.org

I am very sorry to hear that my friend John Warner passed away. A Republican who worked on climate; the Greatest Generation; principle before party; a true gentleman — we don’t see that any more. Your bright memory casts a harsh light on where we are today. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be on with @maddow in a few minutes, tune in! — PolitiTweet.org

Tune in now for the first of my speeches tracing the decades-long special-interest scheme to capture the Supreme Court. Today, I look at where this all began. https://t.co/yY5Ool9v0m — PolitiTweet.org

It’s mostly the lying, and the paying other groups to lie for them, that is so reprehensible. https://t.co/eqrvbS2jMj — PolitiTweet.org

Kristen Clarke is eminently qualified to run the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. She knows civil rights law inside and out. She’s run one of the nation’s leading civil rights organizations. She’s a superb, well-trained, experienced lawyer. — PolitiTweet.org

Bravo to one of our leading climate scientists, Ben Santer, for taking a stand. The evidence is clear, the consequences of climate inaction dire. https://t.co/gPuq4BTKdk — PolitiTweet.org
