In the McGahn subpoena case, DOJ OLC opinions take another judicial hit as judge calls out a “string of OLC opinions that... are manifestly inconsistent with the constitutional jurisprudence of the Supreme Court and the D.C. Circuit...” — PolitiTweet.org

The parasite wasp and the ladybug: a fine insect allegory of how the fossil fuel industry infiltrated and took over the @USChamber, turning it into a #ChamberofCarbon. https://t.co/rAX01mZRxU — PolitiTweet.org

First, you give your big special interests unprecedented power to bully and cajole Congress, then you move decisions to the place they bully and cajole. Sweet deal for those that funded Kavanaugh's rise to the Court. https://t.co/6XMA7OLx37 — PolitiTweet.org

Wall Street was happy to indulge this behavior (and still does) as long as it kept making them money, so no heroes there. — PolitiTweet.org

Aiding and abetting were groups like the @USChamber and NAM, political ‘hit men’ who took fossil fuel money to become America’s worst climate obstructors. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s be crystal clear that it’s the fossil fuel industry to blame, obstructing all these solutions from behind its complex web of climate denial groups. https://t.co/Jipg5SfE8Y — PolitiTweet.org

When you understand the dirty trick behind @EPA’s “‘transparency’ ploy,” it’s even more sickening: industry trying to use privacy of our medical records to suppress studies showing dangers of their products. And EPA’s industry toadies gobble it up. https://t.co/Iqhp0Fc1a7 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to all these environmental organizations for this letter and press release urging the @USChamber (AKA #ChamberofCarbon) to move to real, positive climate action and shed its long, shameful legacy of denial and obstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuel front groups infest DC; trade associations @USChamber and NAM are two worst climate obstructors; Mitch McConnell sits on a geyser of fossil fuel money; and they picket Nancy Pelosi, the one who actually has passed major climate legislation? https://t.co/IKoasCA6Fj — PolitiTweet.org

Boom, again, goes the “juror” analogy: jurors don’t meet alone with the defendant’s lawyers to map out the trial. https://t.co/B7wZwYn3sZ — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @RIKidsCount for the amazing work you do to improve the health of children across our state. Rhode Island ranks among the top in the nation for number of insured children. That’s something to be proud of. https://t.co/m9RzKFslAE — PolitiTweet.org

On International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, I am calling on my Republican colleagues to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, a previously bipartisan piece of legislation that helped prevent domestic abuse & secure justice for survivors for years. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RIPIN_RI has done so much to assist Rhode Islanders with special health care needs. It was great to celebrate the opening of their new offices in Warwick this morning. I am truly grateful for their work. https://t.co/W2O1Ep4kFK — PolitiTweet.org

The Federalist No. 65 (Alexander Hamilton): “In [impeachment]... there will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt.” — PolitiTweet.org

Trump obviously super happy to be hearing from my colleague Mitt Romney! https://t.co/lnA1E8L8KM — PolitiTweet.org

There’s usually some rhetorical trick in right-wing talking points; here it’s the false premise that soliciting or extorting a bribe (in this case a fake investigation) is a “policy.” No it’s not. It’s a crime. https://t.co/cHyCtT1aeQ — PolitiTweet.org

Industry solution: find judges who won’t enforce the law! This is why Republicans are busily packing courts with deregulatory industry stooges. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Good news. When captured agencies abandon their public responsibilities to do whatever creepy-crawly things industry wants, courts enforce the Administrative Procedures Act requiring honest permitting & rulemaking. (Industry: “Curses, foiled again!”) https://t.co/jBletClGw7 — PolitiTweet.org

Corporations aren’t helping: “Last year banks increased their already staggering lending to the fossil fuel industry; if that continues there’s no chance of turning this round in time.” — PolitiTweet.org

.@billmckibben is a sentinel we need to hear on climate crisis: “If we don’t solve it soon, we will never solve it, because we will pass a series of irrevocable tipping points.” https://t.co/DKnzgYmMZ1 — PolitiTweet.org

The fossil two-step: “we think this should be solved in Congress, where we stop any Congressional solution.” — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Of course it would be National Association of Manufacturers, one of the worst climate obstructors in America, arguing to let the fossil fuel industry off the hook for harm it has caused (while NAM also opposes any major, meaningful climate legislation). https://t.co/dFyNs1Xpjy — PolitiTweet.org

Here are some things the Court can do to save itself: 1. Stop 5-4 partisan decisions 2. Stop fact finding 3. Require amici & law groups to disclose funders 4. Adopt an ethics code & disclose gifts & travel 5. Stop attending fundraisers for political groups https://t.co/gXIomGbOcj — PolitiTweet.org
