This is good news from @united. Too many offsets have been phony. If enough companies follow suit, it helps create a market for carbon capture. But individual good deeds will never match a proper price on carbon that lifts all boats. https://t.co/1FH5JtyX4c. — PolitiTweet.org

Washington isn’t broken. It’s blocked at the slammed-shut door of the Senate Majority Leader. https://t.co/isJv6ag4dn — PolitiTweet.org

That didn’t take long. Shows how wacko it was. https://t.co/7rozSQcgdv — PolitiTweet.org

If your task is a right-wing takeover of the Supreme Court of the most powerful country in the world, there are huge stakes in terms of what can be gained through that control. That's part of why dark money groups & anonymous donors dedicate enormous effort to this scheme. — PolitiTweet.org

.@amprog report tracks my Petraeus piece; recommends “central registry of the beneficial ownership of US-registered businesses.” That’s our bill! Check. https://t.co/98O1OR3gz9 — PolitiTweet.org

Also included in the NDAA? Important bipartisan climate legislation that increases funding for the program @SenJackReed @SenDanSullivan and I created to research and deploy direct air capture and blue carbon technologies. https://t.co/xtSVzergvm — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I’m thrilled to see provisions included in the must-pass NDAA that clamp down on use of American shell corporations to hide the assets of criminals and foreign enemies. This has been a long struggle through a lot of disinformation. — PolitiTweet.org

I was glad to speak to @JanetYellen this morning about the importance of addressing the systemic economic risks posed by climate change. Ms. Yellen holds a wealth of experience and an admirable record of public service. I look forward to her leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

18 attorneys general signing such a fanciful, even ludicrous, lawsuit is a dark measure of how degraded the Republican Party has become. Will it ever turn back? — PolitiTweet.org

Talk v. Action: “@Citi CEO Michael Corbat wrote in August that if banks’ clients didn’t adequately reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, ‘then we must have the courage to walk away.’ However, the bank was the world’s second-biggest lender to fossil fuels in 2019.” @business — PolitiTweet.org

Out of the top ten biggest money managers, @LGIM, @Amundi_ENG, and @Allianz were the most supportive of climate resolutions. Thank you for stepping up on this important issue. — PolitiTweet.org

After splashy letter, not much action from @blackrock. Tenth of ten — DFL. Nothing from these guys in Congress either. https://t.co/HAhvTur4oc — PolitiTweet.org

Every year that goes by without action on climate is another step closer to catastrophe. — PolitiTweet.org

Little by little in the Senate, we've improved COVID precautions, but it took until very recently for Mitch to stop his Republican caucus from meeting in person for lunch. It's a difficult situation & what's driving it is a right-wing narrative that is disassociated from science. — PolitiTweet.org

The fossil fuel industry again rears its ugly head. Quite a letter https://t.co/kzMqd0JfGP — PolitiTweet.org

Darned well better! Paris is ‘your father’s Oldsmobile’ — kind of a clunker when new, obsolete now. Huge upgrade needed in Glasgow 2021. https://t.co/cJ1cUxLFuM — PolitiTweet.org

Also Exxon keeps trying to undermine important rules for the 45Q tax credit supporting carbon capture. Something really doesn't add up. https://t.co/MIa045gzHP — PolitiTweet.org

Exciting progress at @401TechBridge. This project will be a big deal for Rhode Island’s manufacturers and create new, good paying jobs. I’ve been proud to work with everyone who’s made this project happen. — PolitiTweet.org

The rights of a plaintiff to discovery (documents, depositions, interrogatories, etc.) into an alleged conspiracy could yield some fascinating materials. I can hardly wait. https://t.co/ggVwpb0FaQ — PolitiTweet.org
