When the @washingtonpost outed Leo and Trump polling tanked, Leo jumped ship to “Honest Elections Project” to move from court capture (which needs a Republican president) to voter suppression (to make good use of those judges). — PolitiTweet.org

Down the hall (literally) was the Judicial Crisis Network, which took anonymous $15-17 million donations to fund campaign ads for the Supreme Court nominees the FedSoc-hosted operation selected. — PolitiTweet.org

Leonard Leo operated the dark-money court capture operation from his @FedSoc perch. It was a $250 million dark-money operation. — PolitiTweet.org

Unsatisfactory briefing on this. We’ve had ransomware attacks for a decade. We’ve had critical infrastructure targeted for a decade. We’ve spent billions on cybersecurity agencies. How did a cyberattack of ransomware on critical infrastructure get through? https://t.co/Y4Jf0FnvT3 — PolitiTweet.org

Once lies are okay, there are no standards left, and it’s hard to pick and choose among lies you will accept. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeff left out the first Republican Big Lie of climate denial, done at the behest of huge fossil fuel donors, but his point is still a good one: https://t.co/gb9ZB56WEy — PolitiTweet.org

Think it’s a coincidence that Republican legislatures across the country are passing laws to block voting? Look at dark-money funded @ALEC_states and so-called “@StatePolicy.” And now @Heritage_Action gets caught with its hand in the latest dark-money scam. Unbelievable. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
We know @Heritage_Action as a dark-money climate denial operation. We see Heritage in the dark-money Court capture operation, filing anonymously funded briefs. Now they turn up in voter suppression, the latest dark-money operation to attack and degrade our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Why the Republican fuss over Kirsten Clarke for DOJ Civil Rights? It’s simple: she will bring decades of experience defending voting rights to DOJ after Republican donors sunk huge sums into voter suppression. She’s a pro, they know it, and they’re scared. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden knows better than to be taking tools off the table to solve climate emergency. Climate emergency needs to be met, period. And we can do it while helping economic justice, environmental justice, and justice for our energy vets. — PolitiTweet.org

A good Brett Kavanaugh overview in Atlantic. Read it and weep. https://t.co/z8rc1ol0Ji — PolitiTweet.org

As this EPA report comes out, I see lots more about bipartisanship in the infrastructure bill than climate in the infrastructure bill. And nothing is scheduled in Budget to launch reconciliation. Nature’s not waiting, why are we? https://t.co/cCpBXracag — PolitiTweet.org

I feel honor-bound to attack the anti-democratic, corrupting, dark-money machine that props up the Republican Party, but where I can get good things done, I try hard to do that — so ranked here among the top 10 most bipartisan Democratic senators. https://t.co/HZhVyZzp3q — PolitiTweet.org

Most Americans pay what they owe, meaning they cover for tax cheats through higher taxes, fewer public services, or a larger federal debt. — PolitiTweet.org

It would be shameful to fail at this as we withdraw. But we’ve failed in other withdrawals. Let’s do it right this time. https://t.co/zJ6jTAUlcl — PolitiTweet.org

As Chair of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control, I believe it’s our responsibility to explore the dark economy servicing the narcotics market, and the “clash of civilizations” that forms its backdrop. I outline the work ahead here⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve added lots of jobs, but there’s a long way to go. An important part of that comeback: help workers with childcare & getting kids back to school. That will make a big, big difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Having spent his political life rewriting the ground rules of American politics for partisan benefit, Mitch McConnell now says, ‘The Democratic Party wants to rewrite the ground rules of American politics for partisan benefit.’” Oh, please. — PolitiTweet.org

Former IRS Commissioner in hearing suggests $7.5 TRILLION in taxes owed not paid over decade. Same hearing—IRS witness estimates US citizens shelter $2 TRILLION in offshore accounts. That’s not low-income folks, folks. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Typical taxpayers don’t hide money abroad, so the wealthy who cheat are worsening income & wealth inequality. One study estimates that the 1% of taxpayers hide 20% of their income. How did this happen? Republicans slashed the IRS budget, with enforcement hit especially hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @SenJackReed in recommending current Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Cunha to be RI’s next U.S. Attorney. Mr. Cunha has an outstanding track record, and we are confident he would serve Rhode Islanders with distinction. — PolitiTweet.org

Tune in to the @SenateFinance Subcommittee hearing I’m leading on our country’s widening tax gap. We can close this gap between taxes owed & taxes paid & create a fairer tax system by cracking down on offshore tax evasion by the wealthy & corporations. https://t.co/C2lnervvtz — PolitiTweet.org
