“Climate change has become a defining feature in companies’ long-term prospects,” beckoning “𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲,” and “compelling investors to reassess core assumptions about modern finance.” — PolitiTweet.org

Glad you asked! Larry Fink’s letter is a good start, but concrete actions have to follow. Using @blackrock’s immense influence in favor of climate-related shareholder resolutions & climate action in Congress would be a good place to start. — PolitiTweet.org

Is it significant that Mitch McConnell described the oath we will take and omitted its central phrase “impartial justice,” having publicly pledged not to be impartial? — PolitiTweet.org

My concern with Mr. Brasher is that his views are so extreme and so intolerant that he will not be able to leave them in the robing room. There is a really dangerous mess of political influence surrounding our judicial nomination process. #StopBrasher https://t.co/k5MPTlMqGW — PolitiTweet.org

That oath can only be upheld if the Senate allows the witnesses and evidence necessary to get to the truth about the acts charged in the impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Today is a solemn day, as the Senate prepares to carry out the serious duty that the Founding Fathers charged us with. Every senator has just sworn an oath to ‘do impartial justice.’ https://t.co/FGnj2LfYxI — PolitiTweet.org

.@Microsoft’s president called on Tuesday to announce carbon reduction pledges beyond what any company has yet announced. They expand the aperture of possibility. I’ll let you read for yourselves — but it’s impressive. https://t.co/AOcmD1MAE8 — PolitiTweet.org

Non-partisan GAO just confirmed that Trump Office of Management and Budget broke the law holding back the Ukraine funding. Recent email disclosures show Trump directly ordered this. Republicans still “hear no evil, see no evil.” https://t.co/wJ57EV9xAi — PolitiTweet.org

With the "exhibiting" in the Senate of the Articles of Impeachment, President Trump is now impeached beyond doubt, and as Speaker Pelosi has said, "impeached forever." — PolitiTweet.org

According to @NOAAClimate & @NASAClimate (agencies that do real science), 2019 was the second-hottest year, wrapping up what is now the #hottestdecade on record. This trend is going to continue until Congress wakes up and takes action. https://t.co/bKdMx4snjA — PolitiTweet.org

Becky Partington did a beautiful job and I loved working with her, so it is very happy news that such a respected, progressive legal star as Miriam will be taking over. Great news! https://t.co/8JmZJzuOnq — PolitiTweet.org

If Trump and the GOP succeed in overturning the Affordable Care Act, millions of Americans will lose coverage and access to live-saving prescription drugs. This is a fight for basic human rights. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

The most devastating wildfires anyone can remember are ripping across Australia. Those fires have destroyed thousands of homes; killed an estimated 1 BILLION animals; and made a day of breathing air in Sydney the equivalent of smoking 37 cigarettes. https://t.co/0p4bnheDXD — PolitiTweet.org

Here, the reason the House prosecutors don’t have all of the evidence is because the defendant President obstructed them — what a lawyer would call “unclean hands.” — PolitiTweet.org

This is ridiculous. Even in a criminal trial, prosecutors can continue to investigate after an indictment, and use that added evidence at trial. — PolitiTweet.org

.@senatemajldr: “If the existing case is strong, there's no need for the judge and the jury to reopen the investigation. If the existing case is weak, House Democrats should not have impeached in the first place.” — PolitiTweet.org

Part of the fossil fuel industry’s trickery is to point only to costs of compliance with the Clean Air Act. Dr. Warburton’s graphics show how dishonest it is to ignore the benefits — they’re HUGE! https://t.co/7ZsLrpIfOk https://t.co/rEh1T2p1vp — PolitiTweet.org

No surprise here. Tip of the iceberg, is my guess. Time to dig into the @MarathonPetroCo/DOJ Antitrust nexus — I wonder if Marathon major shareholders will make inquiries? https://t.co/LQsDi3xn0d — PolitiTweet.org

@RevYearwood @billmckibben Backing up @RevYearwood and @BillMcKibben, this is valuable pressure. @BlackRock just stepped up a notch. Too many financers are two-faced on climate. https://t.co/wkxV7FWVgu — PolitiTweet.org

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurers could charge women more for health plans or simply deny them critical services like maternity care. Thanks to the ACA, millions of women now have coverage at affordable prices. Let’s not go backwards. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org
