The Court should take up the challenge and limit the power of super PACs to corrupt American democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

I filed a brief with @SenatorLeahy @SenatorTomUdall @SenBlumenthal @maziehirono @ChrisVanHollen in support of a petition for Supreme Court review of the major campaign finance case Lieu v. Federal Election Commission (FEC). https://t.co/99K0wJsOiB — PolitiTweet.org

A tsunami of special interest money is drowning out Americans’ voices & corrupting democracy. At the center of the tidal wave are Super PACs through which corporations & billionaires run money to push political agendas. Wonder why bills die in McConnell’s Senate? That’s why. — PolitiTweet.org

RI leading the way with the federally funded expansion of a new partnership between mental health clinicians and South County police departments. Great work! We need more of this. https://t.co/BbLXJIv15J — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve come a long way (there’s a CARA 2.0 now), but the work continues. — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to believe it’s the 4th anniversary of the passage of my Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act. When @senrobportman and I introduced this bill years ago, it was the first major piece of federal legislation on addiction in 40 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Rhode Island families and small businesses continue to do their part to prevent the spread of covid. Now it’s time to ensure that Americans receive the benefits they need during an unprecedented public health and economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Glad to see the House take a stand in the fight against money laundering, international crime, & global corruption. America has long stood as an exceptional country, but we have to earn that honor by living our values. Closing our shell company loophole is a major step forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump doesn’t have the legal authority to do this, but that’s not the point. Trump and his anti-immigrant minions are out to deprive some of our most vulnerable communities of essential services by excluding them from the Census. https://t.co/zGAqw3uI7j — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Why can’t we get anything done on climate in the Senate? Because there are powerful forces at work to block climate action and no counter pressure from trade associations like @AmeriBev, even though many of their member companies claim to care about climate change. #TradeUp — PolitiTweet.org

Great news: next tranche of COVID hospital $$ gave $71 million to R.I. overall. https://t.co/4UVJ3XcI00 — PolitiTweet.org

Give me a break. I’d like to think this was the Onion or some spoof. Corporate America is AWOL on climate change where it counts — in Congress — and cauliflowered low-methane paper bottles are not a substitute. https://t.co/38zXKIUcwr — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Yes, what in the hell are you doing? If this were really about the covid crisis you’d probably have something by now. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Back in DC, no bipartisan discussions yet on COVID-4, because Mitch won’t come to the negotiating table; going with a one-party bill that makes no sense. Trump and Republicans just not serious yet — out to placate donors not fight pandemic or prepare schools. — PolitiTweet.org

We must move forward on the problem of ocean plastic pollution for the sake of our coastal communities and blue economies, for the sake of human health and for the sake of a healthy, beautiful and clean ocean. https://t.co/Z61S49vkND — PolitiTweet.org

Unidentified officers, no name badges, scooping people off street into unmarked vans without explanation — these are tools used by authoritarian regimes. That’s why I support the Law Enforcement Identification Act. Let’s get it passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Federal funding has made it possible for @thundermisthc patients to safely and conveniently access care from home. We need to make sure support for telehealth services continues to be available even after this pandemic ends. https://t.co/cZQm5vcd9B — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

As a reminder, you can find important RI-based resources and information about COVD-19 on my website. These are very tough times and I want all Rhode Islanders to know that my office is always here to help. https://t.co/NmadgOR5Jd — PolitiTweet.org

BlackRock “did not back a climate change resolution at JPMorgan, the US bank, which would have passed with the asset manager's support.” Together, BlackRock and JPMorgan own huge stakes in climate miscreant Marathon Petroleum. Marathon not on list of 53. Hullo? — PolitiTweet.org

It’s pay-to-play payback now for big corporations negligent about health in a pandemic, and for liability insurers. — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell insists not on solving problems, but on tribute for his big donors. — PolitiTweet.org

This is disturbing: an American hero who fought against terrorism and torture for the FBI may now be in the crosshairs of the same thugs who killed Jamal Khashoggi. Watch ⬇️ https://t.co/sK3niTIMqa — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell sat on the House relief bill for two months while the virus ravaged the country & millions struggled to pay their bills. RI'ers are counting on the Senate to deliver on the scale this moment requires & the Senate needs to get its act together quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is the Fed continuing to prop up enormously risky fossil fuel investment? — PolitiTweet.org

Right, cut covid funding as deaths & new cases reach new records. You can’t help wondering if Republicans have completely taken leave of their senses. https://t.co/yNVCaEUxKB — PolitiTweet.org

Last covid bill, Republicans stuffed in $100 billion in personal tax giveaways for individuals making over a million dollars a year. — PolitiTweet.org
