The WSJ editorial page is up again today with its usual nonsense. As the Polluter Page fixates against my dark money fight, consider how much dark money is polluters’. Here’s the Polluter Page record of flacking for big polluters. It’s a pattern! https://t.co/fA6prqsMYz — PolitiTweet.org

Having a Supreme Court that favors one political party and its big donors does lasting harm to our judiciary, and to our democracy. My @JudiciaryDems hearing today began the difficult work of addressing the Court's ills. https://t.co/JbghpXOzIn — PolitiTweet.org

This first hearing will provide an overview of various avenues of dark money influence; we will dig in to each separately in hearings to come. — PolitiTweet.org

I had the privilege to work with Merrick Garland when we were both with the Department of Justice during the Clinton Administration. I now have the privilege to vote to confirm him as the new Attorney General. #ConfirmGarland — PolitiTweet.org

Great news. I’m a big fan of @AndrewSteerWRI. He won’t forget oceans! https://t.co/Pvhk2tTPtj — PolitiTweet.org

In the board's never-ending quest to protect dark money, they’re deliberately misinforming people. My bill would make sure big donors are disclosed, not member lists. But I suppose the truth isn’t the point for these folks. https://t.co/2GPHG2doQa — PolitiTweet.org

Pandemic-related isolation and stress have presented new challenges for many Rhode Islanders. I was pleased to help deliver additional resources to bolster mental health and substance use treatment in Rhode Island as demand for those services remains high. — PolitiTweet.org

As the new chairman of @JudiciaryDems’ Subcommittee on the Courts, I’ll sound the alarm about the dark money circling our judiciary. My first hearing tomorrow will look at what’s wrong with the Supreme Court. Watch it right here on my page at 3:00 pm. — PolitiTweet.org

This is exciting news, which I’ve worked long and hard for — now it’s on the industry, moving into public space others have used for generations, to not be greedy and show respect. You’ll still make a bundle. https://t.co/eFVxR73AJu — PolitiTweet.org

Top takes of Gupta hearing: newfound delicacy of Republican colleagues about tweets, and gaslighting Obama/Holder DOJ nonstop as “political” while overlooking Trump political rot at DOJ. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook is lifting its ban on political ads, but I want to know how they plan to prevent bad actors from using ads to secretly spread misinformation. What are some questions you want Facebook to answer about political ads on their platform? Comment below ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to siting offshore wind projects, all ocean users need to be respected and considered. There are lessons to be learned from the success of the Block Island Wind project. RI’s Ocean SAMP should be the go-to model. https://t.co/yOqauPJ0Xw — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s brutal immigration legacy lives on in the hundreds of judges Trump tapped to carry out his anti-immigrant agenda. These judges are hard at work deporting asylum-seekers. I asked @USGAO to investigate how they were hired. https://t.co/Z7gpI76uaa — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan to ensure Rhode Islanders get the comprehensive help they need during the pandemic. Here’s what it does: https://t.co/fEZZwQsoA1 — PolitiTweet.org

Peterson Foundation estimates RI ranks fourth for total federal COVID-19 funding per capita to date, at $8,726 per person. When Jim and David get the bill passed this week and Joe Biden signs it, let’s spend it wisely and launch RI into a great summer and future. — PolitiTweet.org

The last administration dealt a deliberate financial blow to hospitals in RI, creating sizable Medicare payment disadvantages against hospitals just over state lines. We were able to fix this injustice, restoring tens of millions of $ to local hospitals. https://t.co/39dUFNEzmw — PolitiTweet.org

Around the world, women deserve to be respected, empowered, and recognized for their achievements. Today, we honor the women leading us to a brighter and more inclusive future. #InternationalWomensDay — PolitiTweet.org

The American Rescue Plan will save lives, sustain businesses, and lift our country out of this crisis. Acting now speeds up the pace of recovery and gets more people back on their feet. — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 1965, John Lewis and fellow Civil Rights heroes withstood bitter violence on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. To honor that memory, we rededicate ourselves to the fight against voter suppression, and pledge to restore and expand the Voting Rights Act. — PolitiTweet.org

I wish @GovDanMcKee the very best as he steps into office at this important time in RI’s history. https://t.co/ePKUeIdXaV — PolitiTweet.org

We passed the American Rescue Plan with strong bipartisan support — at least once you get out of the partisan gravitational pull of Graveyard Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/N0c3jDtVQM — PolitiTweet.org

The coronavirus wreaked havoc on our communities, but the American Rescue Plan will get us through. There’s light at the end of the tunnel for our state. It’s official: help is on the way! — PolitiTweet.org

Help is on the way to Rhode Island. The need right now is enormous, and the American Rescue Plan meets the moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I am proud to stand with Democrats in the House and Senate in support of the American Rescue Plan. It is a far-reaching and long-overdue bill large enough to meet this historic moment and set families, small businesses, and our country on the road to recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

.@ericswalwell sues over insurrection. Not so much fun for “the former guy,” as a real defendant in a real courtroom with a real judge and jury — and discovery and depositions, to boot! Witnesses, at last. — PolitiTweet.org

Telling tale: high costs close coal plant; company tries wind farm substitute; wind proposal denied access to transmission, moves elsewhere; now they’ve got no coal and no wind. Time to wake up. https://t.co/96hWcawwsz — PolitiTweet.org
