This may be the grubbiest exercise of the pardon power in history. Let’s hope we never see worse. https://t.co/laQnUi5VAh — PolitiTweet.org

The president clearly has no idea what is actually in the bill, so it’s hard to know how to deal with that. Obviously if we can increase the cash payment, Democrats would be happy to do that and indeed have tried to do so in the past. — PolitiTweet.org

The world is in the clutches of a pandemic disease that touches, directly or indirectly, virtually every human being on the face of the earth. It is costing us in lives, jobs, and immeasurable human pain. It didn’t have to be this way. — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t overlook the nefarious role of fossil fuel industry “dark money,” which pollutes our politics as much as emissions pollute our atmosphere and oceans. https://t.co/l7thQzMYlc — PolitiTweet.org

This represents a simple act of humanity for Americans battling a disease that often moves too quickly for the current system. Thank you to the tireless advocates and allies all over the country who joined our fight to get this done. https://t.co/aRkHfgNjzh — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a breakdown of all my environmental priorities that were signed into law with the omnibus ➡️ https://t.co/LU4jrso3d8 — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @SenatorCarper @SenJohnBarrasso @SenJohnKennedy @brianschatz @SenatorBraun for all your work with me, especially on HFCs. By reducing HFCs - one of the more potent greenhouse gases out there—we can perhaps avoid up to 0.5°C of warming by the end of the century. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

.@brianschatz is right. Democrats have managed to get a number of important climate provisions into this bill and it’s a BIG deal. We need a big, ambitious climate bill to meet the moment, but the climate wins in this bill are an important step forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to see RI again leading the way on climate with a new commitment to cut air pollution and protect public health. States continue to step up. — PolitiTweet.org

“Folks, we’re in a crisis” is exactly the attitude we need. Now let’s perform to that standard. https://t.co/Jyu12SKbEn — PolitiTweet.org

But domestic fossil fuel forces put own interests ahead of national interest and oppose policies that would weaken US antagonists and strengthen US friends. A Biden foreign policy with renewables revolution at the center makes us and friends stronger, enemies and evil weaker. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Many gas/oil nations are not our friends, across the Middle East and elsewhere, so global transition to clean energy advances our national security. Even fringe/maniac forces like ISIS and No Korea seize/need oil and gas. Global renewables revolution hampers their evil. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The more renewable energy in countries served by Russian oil and gas, the less Russia can cause economic and political mischief there. Economists see Russia as highly vulnerable to the “carbon bubble.” When oil prices collapse in bubble, Russia gas station gets wiped out early. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I disagree. The renewables revolution is a strategic danger to Russia, its economy, and its petro-politics. John McCain liked to call Russia “a gas station, with an army, run by gangsters.” No gas, no gas station. https://t.co/kA1NtZDDiX — PolitiTweet.org

Toomey has one vote, like everyone else. This is Mitch’s play, to deny Biden what he let Trump have. Pure power grab. https://t.co/x3YPwDpcbZ — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans can’t see past the trial lawyers to the courtrooms so important to Founders and the injured Americans who go there for justice. https://t.co/F9mlGpdTrN — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @XavierBecerra for speaking with me today. He’s been fighting hard to protect American’s access to health care from special interests trying to rip it away. It was good to talk about how to build back after the COVID crisis & foster innovation in our health care system. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Industry hates these cases because you have to tell the truth and turn over real documents, and face judges and juries it’s illegal to influence. Versus Congress, where big money, fake talking points and political pressure can win, never mind the facts. https://t.co/uR5y1TZ5vl — PolitiTweet.org
