It will be interesting to see if @blackrock’s proxy voting improves, and if companies like @MarathonPetroCo notice anything different from this major shareholder. Let’s hope! — PolitiTweet.org

It was an honor to help @ametsoc mark the beginning of its second century as one of America’s leading scientific associations. Real science cannot fail. And it will not fail, if we fight back against the science-denial apparatus. #AMS100 #AMS2020 — PolitiTweet.org

The Affordable Care Act established protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Since taking office, Trump has done everything in his power to undermine these protections. Just because you tweet it, doesn’t make it true. https://t.co/6h0vwArZde — PolitiTweet.org

@USChamber The test is whether the @USChamber will support policies that hold warming to 1.5 degree Celsius, consistent with what the science tells us we need to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

1⃣ This is good; @USChamber has been Public Enemy #1 on climate 2⃣ If Chamber only supports legislation Republicans (fossil fuel industry) supports, this means nothing 3⃣ After Chamber's long record of lies & secret fossil fuel funding, no benefit of the doubt to these rascals — PolitiTweet.org

I made the @WSJopinion page again! How glorious to be so under the skin of the ed page Polluter Posse that they’re making stuff up about me! Keep flacking for the crooked polluters, boy-os; let’s see how that turns out for you. https://t.co/cZ1OnR42jj — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not easy to compete with oil & gas companies receiving billions in subsidies, but it’s great to see @nptbiodiesel continue to expand with support from a newly renewed federal tax credit that we advocated for. https://t.co/khA6uWFl4f — PolitiTweet.org

If @blackrock @jpmorgan @StateStreet @Vanguard_Group care as much about climate as they claim, they should urge @MarathonPetroCo to knock off its anti-climate lobbying campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Yesterday’s vote is an important step toward removing the plastic pollution that washes up on beaches & in fishing nets from Rhode Island to Alaska, & winds its way into the human food chain. I’m pleased that the Senate approved our bill unanimously. https://t.co/XXD4tbZrBU — PolitiTweet.org

An interesting take from retired, respected colleagues who remember a Senate before Mitch ruined it. https://t.co/mQ65DorlT3 — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t allow McConnell to swear a false oath. A nation governed by the rule of law cannot let a senator flout it. https://t.co/JAazhlDV5R — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Here is the oath we will swear: "I solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald J. Trump, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God." — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The real test for the @USChamber will be whether it puts its back into passing a real, comprehensive climate bill. Until then, expect the pressure on you to rise in 2020. #ChamberOfCarbon https://t.co/lGN11rLPPQ — PolitiTweet.org

We didn’t need more proof that the fossil fuel industry has hardwired the Trump administration to deliver on its interests, but we got it anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

Now, she’s proposing to neuter the environmental law that ensures the government’s most consequential decisions account for the effects of climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

In her confirmation hearing, Chairman Neumayr agreed that climate change is real, that it’s a major issue for coastal states like Rhode Island, and that some of our most important financial institutions are warning about the dire threats it poses. https://t.co/gHsUF5FLFg — PolitiTweet.org

@Unilever To the point of foreign corporations typically doing better than U.S. ones, here’s another example — likely because the U.S. corporations know they control U.S. politics. https://t.co/I3OKHJkArp — PolitiTweet.org

"From my perspective every indication of this evidence is once that closet door gets blown open, the skeletons are going to come tumbling out." — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

"The reality is that as much as we know about fossil fuel interests’ denial and delay, we’ve really found those skeletons in the closet just by looking through a tiny keyhole – everything we know is based on just a few hundred documents scrounged from various sources." — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

.@GeoffreySupran is right: obtaining fossil fuel corporate documents is “one of the most important actions Congress could take to address the climate crisis.” The House must act. https://t.co/TZFbCYcLhy — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I’m with the Speaker on this one. It’s her call, and she should make her decision on her terms and her schedule. It has already succeeded at drawing attention to Mitch’s rigged, no-witness, no-documents, phony “trial.” I trust Ms. Pelosi. https://t.co/UnELLPuWiF — PolitiTweet.org
