Good hearing in @SenateAgDems on my bipartisan Growing Climate Solutions Act, which boosts farmers and foresters who implement climate-smart practices. This is a breakthrough for climate action in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell today held on the Floor, back to back, and with no apparent sense of irony, votes on his partisan effort at a racial justice bill and on a judge nominee notorious on racial voter suppression. — PolitiTweet.org

This is how desperate Republicans are to stop the truth about Barr and the DOJ’s misbehavior from coming out. — PolitiTweet.org

Remember that Mukasey is the guy who stopped his own Department’s investigation of the US Attorney scandal when the White House refused to produce documents. Not the most credible witness on subject of yielding to White House pressure. — PolitiTweet.org

.@HouseJudiciary is holding a hearing on political meddling & prosecutorial interference at @TheJusticeDept. 2 whistleblowers & former Deputy AG Donald Ayer are testifying re AG Barr trainwreck. Watch ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

The big interests have other stuff they care about more, and the corporate trade associations are actually opposed (fossil fuel money likely the explanation). — PolitiTweet.org

Which companies fight climate change? From the Floor of the Senate, I can tell you — as to fighting for a serious climate bill in Congress — the answer is: none. https://t.co/ItU6aQE7G3 — PolitiTweet.org

Barr fired the U.S. Attorney for SDNY Geoffrey Berman. Doesn’t seem to be any reason for it. None was stated. Something weird happened at DOJ – let’s look into that. https://t.co/T1JrmdYZXG — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The Scott bill is not salvageable; McConnell cannot be trusted, can’t resist jamming us, and couldn’t care less about the underlying issue; and we had a Judiciary Committee hearing just last week — what about regular order, or a bipartisan starter bill? https://t.co/0lq754ypLS — PolitiTweet.org

Too bad it’s true. & Courts of Appeal aren’t that low. — PolitiTweet.org

Gotta love the language here: “the administration has salted the federal judiciary’s lower courts with unqualified political coatholders & think-tank fanatics freshly emerged from their chrysalises within the Federalist Society terrarium.” https://t.co/zFA5STdTxT — PolitiTweet.org

NJ US Attorney distancing himself from Barr’s SDNY ‘drug deal.’ Trump says ‘not involved.’ Who wants the hot potato? — PolitiTweet.org

Trump official’s claim that wealth share of top 1% has fallen not accurate according to the Fed. The share of wealth for bottom 50% is up from 1.2% in Q4 2016 to 1.5% in Q4 2019; share of wealth for top 1% up from 31.9% in Q4 2016 to 32.9% in Q4 2019. — PolitiTweet.org

Telehealth use is up 11,000% among Medicare beneficiaries & these services are working well for Rhode Island seniors & their doctors. We should carry forward what we are learning from the ongoing pandemic & make these changes permanent. https://t.co/mgFQUOQxNl — PolitiTweet.org

Judicial nominee Cory Wilson called the Affordable Car Act “illegitimate” & “perverse.” He called the NAACP’s concerns about Voter ID laws “poppycock.” He called groups like the ACLU “rent-a-mobs.” I call him unqualified & will be voting no on his nomination. #StopWilson — PolitiTweet.org

Doofus so rattled he says the quiet part out loud; that Republicans let down "the people they had promised - they had pledged - to protect, their voters and their donors." https://t.co/lF4dqKYFAh — PolitiTweet.org

Like Elizabeth, I’d already called for this guy’s resignation. Like her, I’m grossed out by this latest sleazy move. Can’t wait for the truth to come out... — PolitiTweet.org

And don’t you love Barr’s faux umbrage that this might have to do with Trump-related cases! No doubt he is “shocked, shocked” https://t.co/qnZ8LDcc1L — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The plot thickens, as the Trump hand seems to emerge from the Barr glove. I hope the US Attorney doesn’t go quietly; there are some legal questions worth testing about judge-appointed US Attorneys, as well as getting to the bottom of this “drug deal.” — PolitiTweet.org
