Fascinating oceans work by @Enric_Sala confirming that a healthy planet matters for human health, even undersea. We need to stop destroying Mother Earth. https://t.co/7MIWNYo6yW — PolitiTweet.org

.@APIenergy is a national trade association representing the oil & gas industry, but many of their battles are fought locally. They have quietly blocked important climate legislation in statehouses across America without having to take responsibility. It’s time to #TradeUp — PolitiTweet.org

Rent is due today. Tens of thousands of RI renters and homeowners pushed to the brink of crisis can't wait for Congress to start doing its job. We need Ldr. McConnell to reconvene the Senate and call a vote on the HEROES Act, which includes $200B for emergency housing relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Nailed it, @MichaelEMann. Well done. The liars still lie; the funders still fund; the dark corrupting money still corrupts; the creepy front groups still creep; the denial and obstruction apparatus still denies and obstructs. https://t.co/o6FzVOnzfl — PolitiTweet.org

There’s no better time to sign up to work the polls on Election Day than National Poll Worker Recruitment Day. We need to ensure fair and accessible elections while allowing more vulnerable poll workers to stay home. Sign up today at https://t.co/YBA9H7TTml — PolitiTweet.org

What’s not heard in the Trumpster “herd immunity” talk is that the disease culls the herd to get there; for older people particularly, culling the herd is not good news to be heard. https://t.co/e68BI4IyBR — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting article, with nuggets like “the supermajors paid out $16.9 billion more in dividends than they generated from their core business operations.” https://t.co/rfKEliYd8X — PolitiTweet.org

Barr’s gonna hate this. Some rocks are gonna be turned over. & BTW the entire new DC Circuit panel came in against the two judges who drove the earlier cover-up decision, reversing 2-1 to 8-2. Yes, Trumpy Neomi Rao, Koch stooge, was one of the 2. https://t.co/GPBKpVbf0w — PolitiTweet.org

Using lies and corruption the way they deliberately do in a massive political covert operation, it could be called much worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to Norwegian asset manager @storebrand_no for dumping Exxon and Chevron over their campaign of climate denial and political obstruction, calling it “unacceptable.” https://t.co/eg9hXv4jKH — PolitiTweet.org

.@johnpodesta is right, but the problem is that if Republicans stopped denying climate change their fossil fuel money would dry up, and it’s probably the majority of the party’s funding and a huge majority of its secret funding. https://t.co/FsJk82Zfvr — PolitiTweet.org

The @USDA is refusing to take simple steps to help parents get the meals that millions of their kids rely on. That’s plain wrong. We need to ensure that no child goes hungry. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only a former FBI agent, our former FBI agent; Mike worked in R.I. when I was US Attorney, returned from dangerous tours undercover in right-wing militias. Good man. https://t.co/X0sgsY0joW — PolitiTweet.org

In Rhode Island, we owe a lot to our police and community leaders, who over years together of work, caring and cooperation have put us in such a good place for the tasks ahead. https://t.co/PW3uAUslsb — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration continues to attack the independence of our immigration courts. First Trump packed the courts with far-right judges; now he’s overhauling rules to speed up deportations without meaningful review. — PolitiTweet.org

For Congress to properly allocate funding and resources to fight COVID-19, we have to listen to the people on the frontlines. I spoke with Rhode Island’s Dr. @meganranney about what she’s been seeing, the continuing need for #PPE, and what we’ve learned about this disease. https://t.co/1WlAFbxpnw — PolitiTweet.org

While Mitch keeps the Senate closed down, covid and economic troubles continue. It’s time he lifted his freeze on the Senate. Bring us back to D.C. to pass another coronavirus relief bill. Americans can’t afford to wait. #FundtheFrontLines — PolitiTweet.org

NO: fossil fuel dark money still stops our progress in Congress, using the Republican Party and trade groups like Chamber of Commerce. — PolitiTweet.org
