This year, I’m proud to present the 2022 #EEODayRI Service Award to longtime environmental activist, Greg Gerritt. His advocacy and work on Rhode Island’s economic and environmental policies has moved our state closer and closer to true sustainability. — PolitiTweet.org

Good morning ☀️ I’m getting ready to kick off the 13th annual Energy, Environment and Oceans Leaders Day. We’ve got a great lineup of speakers joining us virtually today, so follow along here ⬇️ #EEODayRI — PolitiTweet.org

Climate disinformation is big business — Brown Univ found 196 “foundations” gave $100K to climate disinformation groups; 58 gave over $500K in 2018. “Foundations” is in quotes because many pass through fossil fuel money, using “foundation” to obscure actual source. https://t.co/S34SZYWrf3 — PolitiTweet.org

The Heritage Foundation thinks that calling for the IRS to look into blatant rules violations by political nonprofits is somehow an attack on it and its allies. Sounds like a confession. — PolitiTweet.org

So at the end of the day, the pathway to safety has become both extremely narrow (11 out of 1200) and “challenging.” And standing across that pathway is the fossil fuel industry’s continuing and persistent campaign of denial and obstruction. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
That leaves only 26 out of 1200 scenarios. Scientists put them into three likelihoods: zero were deemed “reasonable” to attain, 11 were put in the “challenging” category, and the remainder were deemed “speculative” to achieve. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Of those 112, 86 have “high overshoots” into high temperature scenarios before reverting back to 1.5 degrees Celsius, which creates dangerous risks during that overshoot of tipping points, collapses and cascades. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Of those 230, only 112 were still technically possible to achieve. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Of those 1200 outcomes, only 230 get us to safe levels of warming below the generally accepted (but not risk-free) level of 1.5 degrees Celsius. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Scientists reviewed the scenarios for climate outcomes in the future. There were 1200 reviewed. https://t.co/medCGzVNGF — PolitiTweet.org

$260 billion is the estimated total economic losses from natural catastrophes such as floods, hurricanes and wildfires in 2022, according to the Swiss Re Institute. https://t.co/VsIkTiIjzd — PolitiTweet.org

I heard him at lunch, and spoke about carbon border adjustment. We have the stronger clean energy subsidies; they have the stronger EU-CBAM. The opportunity is for them to improve their subsidies, us to move to border adjustment, and planet to win. https://t.co/E11yMZhNn2 — PolitiTweet.org

A Supreme Court justice once said “Procedure is the bone structure of a democratic society.” Procedure is the bone structure of justice. The Supreme Court is the boneless chicken ranch of judicial ethics. https://t.co/8CTXtFC6hf — PolitiTweet.org

I’m heading to the Senate floor to continue unmasking the Scheme to capture and control our Supreme Court — or as I call it, “The Court That Dark Money Built.” Tonight’s focus: the dire need for a binding code of conduct for SCOTUS justices and way more disclosure at the Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Okay, so eleven reports agree we are failing on climate. But up against fossil fuel dark money, the truth holds little sway. We must never forget the corruption this industry has wrought. https://t.co/BXuJgjNp9u — PolitiTweet.org

This is why it should be standard operating procedure for CEOs to demand audited climate political footprint reports for their company: lobbying, political donations, trade association activities and dark money spending. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Great new report out from @CeresNews on the abysmal lack of corporate engagement on climate with leading trade associations. Until these numbers change, climate action in Congress will remain an uphill fight. https://t.co/UZhjsjUgUy https://t.co/ek0mfaZLDx — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight, the Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act, placing the right to marry out of this activist Supreme Court’s reach. We affirm what the American people already understand: every person deserves the freedom to marry the one they love. — PolitiTweet.org

Each year in November, we don’t just set our clocks back, we set our lives back. From increasing family time to reducing seasonal affective disorder, the benefits of making Daylight Saving Time permanent are many. Now that’s a spring forward. https://t.co/EU6SWoAjNY — PolitiTweet.org

These multiple failures of orderly process are peculiar, coming from the highest Court in the land. Procedure is the bone structure of justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Unlike all other federal courts, there is no independence — no formal process of independent review. That absence of independence violates the ancient maxim, nemo judex in sua causa: no one should judge their own cause. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The assertions of fact by the Court’s lawyer emerge from darkness, and overlook important facts like all the contemporaneous evidence that Mr. Schenck in fact knew both the outcome and author in advance and acted at that time on that knowledge. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Unlike all other federal courts, the Supreme Court has no formal process for complaints; it took a Senator’s and a Congressman’s repeated letters to galvanize a response. Unlike all other federal courts, there is no formal process for fact-finding inquiry. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The Court continues to ignore most of the allegations; the Court still hasn’t answered my and @RepHankJohnson’s questions or even acknowledged the extent of this 20-year, $30 million judicial lobbying operation. It doesn’t stop there. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Last week, @RepHankJohnson and I sent another letter to SCOTUS about the growing ethics crisis at Court. Last night, through legal counsel, the Court responded. The letter is an embodiment of the problems at the Court around ethics issues. https://t.co/y23lWxUUY7 — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
DOJ’s “we speak through our pleadings” rule puts DOJ lawyers under sanction for misstatements, giving DOJ credibility advantage. Comey’s grandstanding and Trump’s out-of-court lies flunk that pleadings test, and people know it. https://t.co/U58Nn2UXU7 — PolitiTweet.org
