Today, we remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg on what would have been her 88th birthday. She dedicated her life to equality and justice, opening up opportunities for millions of women. How fitting for it to fall in #WomensHistoryMonth — PolitiTweet.org

The Economist weighs in: “American democracy looks tired. ...The Economist Intelligence Unit, our sister company, puts America 25th in its rankings [of democracies], ... One cog at the heart of this creaking engine is the filibuster.” — PolitiTweet.org

Whoa! Not long ago the Polluter Page was calling climate change a “hoax.” Now it’s publishing letters supporting a carbon emissions charge. Things are changing, though still no serious political effort in Congress by corporate America. https://t.co/yE3kMIm2F5 — PolitiTweet.org

Great that this flood of one-off cases against attackers is going forward. But don’t forget inciters, organizers, funders, aiders and abettors, who may not have been in the mob. https://t.co/Yyq7mP0vrr — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight we “spring forward,” which is great. Let’s not “fall back” in November and bring darkness at 4 pm on ourselves — make it permanent! — PolitiTweet.org

The IRS has just released information on the $1,400 stimulus checks included in the American Rescue Plan. For information on timing, eligibility and how to get it, you can go to their website here: https://t.co/wAyPYVFkSj — PolitiTweet.org

As “Biden Bucks” pour into RI, govt leaders must be sensible and transparent, confer w legislature, city/town councils. Let’s get it right and make sure every dollar is maximized to help Rhode Islanders get back on their feet. — PolitiTweet.org

We were able to restore ~$28M in annual federal funding for RI hospitals, undoing a Trump rule change. That’s more $ for RI salaries and more $ pumping into the local economy. It couldn’t come at a better time for our hospitals, which are doing heroic work https://t.co/MHuTYFHGcg — PolitiTweet.org

The #AmericanRescuePlan will make a real difference in people’s lives. By expanding a few key tax credits for working families, we’re going to lift up Rhode Islanders and get an entire generation of kids off to a strong, stable start. https://t.co/FAPfBWSIKI — PolitiTweet.org

The northern star coral is part animal, part vegetable, & part mineral – but did you know it’s also a Rhode Islander? This sea creature can teach us a lot about our oceans, and @SharpKoty is on a mission to recognize it as RI’s state coral. https://t.co/4rBsrRtRDp — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to everyone who commented with questions. Many of the concerns mirror my own regarding transparency and the spread of misinformation. We deserve answers from Facebook and I intend to get them -- through briefings, hearings, oversight efforts, however necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

My bill with @RepLloydDoggett @SenatorDurbin will roll back incentives for big multinationals to ship jobs abroad, and start helping American workers and domestic companies compete on a level playing field. — PolitiTweet.org

Help is on the way! My office did some estimating of how much $ cities/towns get if county and schools money flows through per capita.  Just estimates, but the bottom line is: it’s a lot. #AmericanRescuePlan https://t.co/9uvpUqpMv8 — PolitiTweet.org

Hard-working American families don’t get offshore tax shelters to avoid paying taxes. Big corporations and the ultra-rich shouldn’t get them either. #StopTaxHavenAbuse — PolitiTweet.org

Resetting our clocks twice a year worked for Americans a century ago, but it’s time for a change. Instead of regularly disrupting our lives, we can make Daylight Savings Time permanent and give families more sunlight to enjoy after work and school. — PolitiTweet.org

I disagree with McConnell on many things, but the sooner we get the razor wire down and the armed troops back to their military duties, the better. This is the people’s building. The security pros need to solve this. https://t.co/ccKDQRh5XF — PolitiTweet.org

The #AmericanRescuePlan will help RI crush COVID-19 and reopen schools. RI is estimated to receive $1.2 billion for the state’s response and somewhere around $850 million for cities and towns, including funding for K-12 education. — PolitiTweet.org
