The problems at the Court are real, and don’t go away when the Chief Justice ignores them — many are of the Court’s own making. The Court That Dark Money Built needs to clean up its act, or Congress will have to engage.  https://t.co/b9l7oWSGHM — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not just the stats. Look at the wreckage of violated policies, overturned precedents and unexamined ethics problems. This is not conservative, it’s captured. — PolitiTweet.org

This is particularly true with a Supreme Court majority with a near-perfect pattern of doing what’s wanted by the dark money machine that put them on the Court. Look at the stats. — PolitiTweet.org

Adding honest judges is an important first step toward repairing the damage done by the Trump administration. But the fact remains that dark-money litigants can go judge-shopping for the ones they put in as their operatives and get the results they want. https://t.co/1tDeiOhuko — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s be clear: House Republicans have no more “voice” on climate change than a ventriloquist’s dummy. You guessed it — the fossil fuel industry is their ventriloquist.    https://t.co/ihdZqLg665 — PolitiTweet.org

First, thank you President Zelenskyy for making the call. We’d like to have done more: ENABLERS Act, supported from Jake Sullivan to Mike Pompeo, would have put permanent dent in apparatus of corruption.    https://t.co/ChTmOaGLmg — PolitiTweet.org

Congress got BIG things done this year, but we also had plenty of Rhode Island victories. I know the holidays are busy, so here are a few wins you might have missed — in 60 seconds. Happy New Year! https://t.co/rRTey5c36I — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks for your partnership, Mayor @Jorge_Elorza. Wishing you all the best. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not difficult to understand: pregnant workers should have the right to proper workplace accommodations.    That’s why we passed The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act last week, one of the most significant improvements in worker protections in years. — PolitiTweet.org

George Will actually just wrote that bureaucracies not courts “have powerful incentives to make expansive interpretations that maximize their power” — apparently non-ironic.   https://t.co/7E09vFVwuO — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you also to the many Rhode Island police departments, mental health experts, and health care professionals who provided leadership and advocacy on this issue. https://t.co/QaqxLAjOAX — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pleased President Biden swiftly signed our bipartisan bill into law, and I’m grateful to @JohnCornyn for his partnership. — PolitiTweet.org

Our bipartisan Law Enforcement De-escalation Training Act – now the law of the land – will ensure that police officers have the right training for life-saving crisis intervention and de-escalation, and the resources to connect people in crisis with the help they need. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2022, our bipartisan infrastructure bill kept delivering for RI.    RI roads and bridges are in need of significant upgrades, and we are making those investments and creating good jobs in the process. — PolitiTweet.org

Want to know why we added IRS resources? Billionaire tax avoiders can just bigfoot the existing IRS staff. That isn’t fair to wage earners.     https://t.co/N2K59JgGrj — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to our Appropriator @SenJackReed for his partnership in securing the new funding for the Mt. Hope Bridge, and to @DavidCicilline for all of his continued advocacy for the Bridge. — PolitiTweet.org

This comes on the heels of securing a massive $82.5 million award to extend the life of the Pell Bridge from the INFRA Grant program that I had a hand in creating. https://t.co/4O3cG5Drju — PolitiTweet.org

Great news: @SenJackReed and I secured $10 million in the new funding bill that just passed the Senate to help install a cable dehumidification system on the historic Mt. Hope Bridge, which is getting on in years and facing new challenges from climate change. https://t.co/erbQrOufaB — PolitiTweet.org
