A few weeks ago, the Senate debated Vanita Gupta’s nomination for Associate Attorney General. Republicans set their hair on fire trying to take her down. Now we’re back on the floor, with Republican hair aflame again, this time over Justice Department nominee Kristen Clarke. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we remember George Floyd. His tragic death one year ago sparked a global movement against racial injustice. We are working in Judiciary to bring lasting change. #BlackLivesMatter — PolitiTweet.org

A party that listens to the American people should want free & fair elections. When voting rights are under attack, ask yourself what politician (or party) doesn’t want that. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration split families, even when parents said they’d return to their home countries with their children. That cruelty is a dark blot on our history. https://t.co/x6NAQwUbD0 — PolitiTweet.org

To the National Guard: Thank you, very much — well done, farewell, and I pray we never need you back to guard the United States Capitol from American insurrectionists. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m starting a new series of Senate floor speeches (with a brand new chart) exposing the scheme by right-wing donor interests to capture the U.S. Supreme Court and achieve through the Court’s power what they cannot through other branches of government. First one is tomorrow! — PolitiTweet.org

We had momentum coming off Rescue Plan, with bipartisan support out in America. Now we seem bogged in the quagmire of congressional ‘bipartisanship,’ which likely ends up strategically withheld by Mitch after much strategic delay. If so, that’s not new — we’ve seen that movie. — PolitiTweet.org

The undecided matters are so many that it seems challenging to get this done by August recess, and implausible that reconciliation would also get done by then. So it implies slippage of the August deadline. If so, that’s new. — PolitiTweet.org

It also seems to kick climate to the curb, with only specific climate-related investments mentioned, not the overall urgency to get on a 1.5 degrees trajectory. This suggests a separate climate bill must come later. If so, that’s new. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Until now, it seemed pretty clear that the infrastructure negotiations were about what would be bipartisan, with no cap on what else we might do via reconciliation. This seems to change that and offer a cap on infrastructure investment. If so, that’s new. — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody elected them anything; their former President nearly wrecked the country; they don’t wish us well; and they likely won’t deliver — can we move on? https://t.co/JWb8mj6EHM — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to finally see a resolution that would require an independent audit of such reporting! — PolitiTweet.org

.@ExxonMobil has consistently jerked investor groups around, and investor groups have too often been satisfied with “proxy theater,” accomplishing nothing. That big shareholder breakthrough years ago produced a baloney climate report no one challenged. https://t.co/KSbmnm1Xyv — PolitiTweet.org

Ice calves off. Buttress effect is lost. Land-based ice accelerates seaward. Sea level rises. Coastal states lose shoreline. https://t.co/dEFe5mZDfF — PolitiTweet.org

So grateful to receive @alsa_ri’s ALS Champion Award. It’s been an honor to work with the ALS community to once and for all end the 5 month waiting period for ALS patients to receive disability benefits. https://t.co/rtO8eLYuyS — PolitiTweet.org

I was glad to vote for the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act just signed into law by @POTUS. So many people worked hard to get us to today and its paid off. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we advanced judicial nominees who reflect American society and the full diversity of the legal community, not a narrow selection of overwhelmingly white men hand-picked by big Republican donors. That felt good. — PolitiTweet.org

After a rough start, it’s good to see the offshore wind industry treat others on the ocean with respect. I appreciate Orsted trying to improve things. A little consideration and humility will in the end produce better results faster for the industry. https://t.co/rPjW4T2maS — PolitiTweet.org

I send heartfelt condolences to his wife, Cynthia, and their son, @rep_solomon, of whom Mayor Solomon was exceptionally proud. — PolitiTweet.org

I am very sad to hear that former Mayor Joe Solomon passed away. Joe dedicated much of his life to serving the people of Warwick, moving up through the ranks on the Council and eventually into the Mayor’s Office. Joe had a warm smile and was always quick to offer a kind word. — PolitiTweet.org

In addition to what Bill says, the industry disgraced itself during Trump administration by walking back on methane leakage and reporting. Shameful behavior. https://t.co/Z3xdyESB2w — PolitiTweet.org

20 CEOs could reduce single-use plastics by half, if they cared to clean up after their plastic waste stream. But they don’t. https://t.co/eXtpOTJhm7 — PolitiTweet.org
