Same games-playing that has a dozen conservative amici show up in Supreme Court without disclosing common funding — pantomime political litigation. Where, oh where, is Rule 11? And will SCOTUS ever care? https://t.co/NiLiDSzm8k — PolitiTweet.org

And, as always, thank you to my wonderful colleagues @JimLangevin @davidcicilline for making this a House priority. — PolitiTweet.org

I am so glad that we can offer a measure of comfort and support to Americans facing this diagnosis. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

YES! The House has passed my bipartisan ALS bill with @SenTomCotton, which means it now heads to the president’s desk to be signed into law. A huge thank you to groups like @iamalsorg @alsassociation @alsa_ri who supported this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I was thrilled to be on, thank you! I’m not one to turn down the opportunity to shine a light on dark money groups like @FedSoc. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We need to develop new low-carbon fuels to power our economy in a sustainable way. That’s why @SenToddYoung and I introduced a bipartisan hydrogen-based energy incentive as a way to drive innovation, reduce emissions, and create green jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

.@USGAO just released a new report on serious problems with the way we fund & manage the national air quality monitoring system, which tracks dangerous air pollution. The consequences hit people of color & low-income Americans hard. We’ve got to fix this. https://t.co/67p2Iwkeok — PolitiTweet.org

I’m very glad that National Guard assistance has been extended through March 2021. The Guard has played a critical role in testing, building field hospitals, surge staffing and deploying PPE equipment. We need their help now more than ever to keep Rhode Islanders safe. — PolitiTweet.org

If this lawsuit is “less about achieving the relief Plaintiffs seek ... and more about ... people’s faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government,” is that not Rule 11 (i.e. sanctions) territory? https://t.co/4jnNqQ1hvH — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Agreed. @RWalensky is a tremendous pick to lead @CDCgov. There’s a theme to Biden’s health team: experience, diligence, and a commitment to the science. What a relief after four long years. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Sorry this takes @JGrybowski from RI, but happy for him. Deepwater was a great accomplishment for him, Grover Fugate formerly of @RI_CRMC and Jenn McCann of @URIGSO. https://t.co/kP1ZyJUGGv — PolitiTweet.org

Every year on the anniversary of #PearlHarbor, I think of the late Rhode Islander Ray Haerry who survived the attack on the @USSArizona. Thank you to all the men and women who served our country in #WWII. We remember. — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to having a qualified and knowledgeable public servant leading HHS during a pandemic. Congratulations, @AGBecerra! — PolitiTweet.org

Long article but agreed we have to hustle, flood the zone and outwork them, beginning with deck-clearing Mother Of All Executive Orders. https://t.co/wblGn6sj5g — PolitiTweet.org

Sad but typical that United States not a part of this. Biden administration can’t come soon enough. https://t.co/eskbbrCmYT — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the sunshine, I woke up today to a darker world knowing that our beloved Ernie Baptista passed away yesterday. My treasurer in every race, a wise advisor, a constant friend, a fun, funny, beyond-intelligent and unique man. I hope they allow cigars in heaven. — PolitiTweet.org

For the first time in a long time, we have a real chance to act on climate. We are the architects of our destiny and I appreciate so much what all of you are doing to move us forward. #EEODayRI — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I am a big fan of Ambassador @KarenPierceUK, British Ambassador to the US & host of the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow. It is not an easy job, but she gives me great hope about climate progress. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

It is my pleasure now to introduce a presentation by @brianschatz, who heads @SenDemsClimate. He is inventive, brings a spirit of fun, and is always willing to do whatever it takes to something done on climate. #EEODayRI — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Proud to present the #EEODayRI Service Award to Jerry Elmer, who recently retired as Senior Attorney in @CLF’s RI office. Jerry dedicated his career to advancing social justice and fighting climate change. RI is a better place for all his exceptional work. — PolitiTweet.org

Bring on @SenSherrodBrown! Sherrod is the ranking member on the Senate Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Committee. One thing this committee has been dealing with is the potential for big economic crashes if we don’t act on climate. #EEODayRI https://t.co/e3vpy4kMt2 — PolitiTweet.org

As the Oceans Campaign Director for @Greenpeaceusa, @JohnHocevar oversees the organization’s work to keep our oceans healthy. I’m proud John has joined us to discuss the importance of tackling ocean plastics. #EEODayRI — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Welcome, @TedDanson! You are all familiar with his face and his voice, but did you know that he is also an ardent environmentalist and ocean conservation activist? I am so glad to have him with us today to answer a few questions. #EEODayRI — PolitiTweet.org
