I went to the International Criminal Court to help clear obstacles to US support for investigations into Russian atrocities — done in omnibus!! While there I stopped to see this lady. https://t.co/KDJZx4Wf1x — PolitiTweet.org

Support for the families of the Marines lost in the deadly Beirut Bombing, whose casualties included nine Rhode Islanders, was approved today by the Senate by a strong vote of 93-4. When the House passes it, the President will sign it, and it’s law. — PolitiTweet.org

We just passed a government funding bill that included tens of millions of dollars in direct investments I requested for RI’s economy, health care, education, infrastructure, housing, child care, and much more 🔜 https://t.co/ZFo34nmxHB — PolitiTweet.org

@SenJohnKennedy and I are committed to developing bipartisan legislation to deter future abuses of executive privilege. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Presidents from both parties have used aggressive theories of executive power to thwart Congress’s constitutional authority to conduct oversight. We all share a common interest in ensuring our government’s checks and balances remain in place. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This report was a bipartisan effort from start to finish, exploring the relationship between the executive and legislative branches, rather than focusing on one political party or another. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

🚨 JUST RELEASED 🚨 In our brand new report, Overprivileged, @SenJohnKennedy and I take a closer look at congressional oversight, executive privilege and the separation of powers. https://t.co/Q8BMdFazmx — PolitiTweet.org

On the darkest night of the year and in the darkness of war in Ukraine, President @ZelenskyyUa came to Congress and called us to the memory of Saratoga, Bastogne, and FDR to call for continued support. https://t.co/jWuieiyEPs — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I joined a bipartisan group of Senators to honor the families of the 241 Americans – including 9 Rhode Islanders – lost in the 1983 Beirut bombing. Compensation alone cannot pay the debt we owe, but it’s an overdue step in the right direction. https://t.co/NCFXqmf1SO — PolitiTweet.org

Actually I was surprised by how little Republican meltdown there was — the silence from most seemed pretty deafening. https://t.co/mGKTJ1UNdD — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

By the way, this good news was brought to you thanks to $3B set aside for these vehicles in our Inflation Reduction Act. Cleaner vehicles, safer postal workers, lower costs — a big fast win from our legislation (that not one Republican would support). https://t.co/lMKlwYOn48 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Next step should be an ambitious rule to drive a nationwide transition to zero-emission trucks. They will be cleaner, safer and less expensive to run. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Great to see @EPA take action to reduce air pollution from trucks, vans, and other heavy-duty vehicles! https://t.co/7yeLa4plqo — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, insulin costs for seniors will be capped at $35/month starting in the new year. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

And if it seems incredible that anyone would undertake a disinformation effort on this scale, remember that the IMF has calculated the annual subsidy protecting fossil fuel in the U.S. at $660 BILLION. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

When you diagram the fossil-fuel-funded Web of Denial, this is what the foul creature looks like — plumbing for the transmission of lies. https://t.co/YKRywQU57I — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Scientists Bob Brulle and Riley Dunlap chronicle the massive sham effort the fossil fuel industry has propped up to deny climate change and control Republican politicians. https://t.co/0Cu3zRxWqq — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

But to never even give an honest look is, to me, inconsistent with the Department’s core responsibilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

If DOJ had taken an honest look at climate litigation by governments all around the country, and advised after due diligence that federal litigation was not justified, that would be one thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @POTUS! The Postal Service has the biggest vehicle fleet in the federal government. This goes a long way. https://t.co/lyEtwhYNOQ — PolitiTweet.org

With nearly $60 billion in profit, you’d think the shipping container business could clean up its emissions better. https://t.co/kIynOWnnaH — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

When you’re spending $580 million to pack and control the Supreme Court, what’s a few million in payola to White House officials. P.S. Leo is also promoting Clarence Thomas’s book, for which Thomas gets royalties from sales. https://t.co/PyvcRjIWUj — PolitiTweet.org

No surprise that The Court That Dark Money Built is seizing power to do The Things That Dark Money Wants. https://t.co/sHZ8JbydU5 — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to secure funding to help redevelop the Urban League of RI building, and am hopeful this space will play an important role in furthering their mission for years to come. Great to celebrate with you all this morning. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The former president, and a small crew of unprincipled lawyers standing just off stage, came closer than many knew to provoking a dangerous constitutional breakdown of the very guardrails of democracy. — PolitiTweet.org
