.@CCAInstitute’s #AngelsinAdoption award honors individuals & organizations who’ve made extraordinary contributions to children in need of a home. It was an honor to nominate Joseph & his late husband Daniel for this award. Their family is truly an inspiration. #Angels2019 https://t.co/O3JWha4jCN — PolitiTweet.org

And the big payback is keeping up Justice Roberts’ string of more than 75 5-4 decisions, partisan in makeup, implicating big Republican donor interests, where the big Republican donor interests won every time. Now that’s REAL payback! — PolitiTweet.org

Kavanaugh dodged ethics scrutiny by getting off the DC Circuit and on the Supreme Court, the only nine judges on the federal bench WITHOUT a code of ethics. Which is why he can headline a fundraiser for the group that deposited him on the Court. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
So, the same group that spent millions to get Kavanaugh on the court now welcomes him back to their black-tie dinner as a hero. Right now, that’s where Kavanaugh is, happy to return their favor — payback time! https://t.co/xHsRxGrJwu — PolitiTweet.org

The dark money funding network is elaborate, and clearly designed to hide the string-pullers out to capture the Court and make it their political tool. https://t.co/iK4JUgLJFZ — PolitiTweet.org

This smells, because @FedSoc is funded by big special interests that can end up with cases before the Supreme Court, with new Justice Kavanaugh, who is right now performing before their organization. https://t.co/dVxaFYxhaU — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
This isn’t some hypothesis. The EVP of @FedSoc Leonard Leo boasted on TV about the list he gave Trump of potential Supreme Court nominees. And he ushered Kavanaugh onto, and to the top of, the list. Right now, Kavanaugh is there, paying back. https://t.co/vdpolJLyBT — PolitiTweet.org

.@FedSoc was “insourced” by the Trump White House to choose federal judges and particularly to choose Supreme Court judges. They hand-selected Kavanaugh and helped fund his nasty confirmation battle. — PolitiTweet.org

A private organization, funded by secretive anonymous donors, has an improper role in the selection of federal judges and justices. It’s called the Federalist Society. And Justice Kavanaugh is there tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Students should be safe at school. To Senate Republicans, we can act now protect Americans from gun violence. Let’s do it. — PolitiTweet.org

If you look at what Steven Menashi has said over the years it is quite an astonishing and disturbing window into his mind. I can’t imagine anybody much worse. He should not be confirmed to the federal bench. #StopMenashi https://t.co/pdIY31r3Gv — PolitiTweet.org

@grist Here’s one test: look at who the @USChamber supports with its massive electioneering apparatus in 2020. Will it always be the candidate who’s worse on climate? So far, #ChamberofCarbon has an almost perfect record of supporting the ‘worser’ candidate. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
But @Grist is correct: “It remains to be seen whether this pattern indicates that the Chamber is serious about climate action or is simply engaging in greenwashing.” — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
A positive step, thanks to healthy pressure from #ChamberofCarbon members distressed that the Chamber was outed as one of America’s worst climate obstructors. https://t.co/onERv0pkwN — PolitiTweet.org

White House flack calls the Southern Poverty Law Center an “utterly-discredited, long-debunked far-left smear organization.” It’s the organization that literally puts white supremacist groups out of business. https://t.co/9NvkR8FpwR — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are refusing to reauthorize the formerly bipartisan Violence Against Women Act because the @NRA has come out against it. Disgraceful. This bill deserves a vote. #VAWA — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Fair enough. Republican Senators don’t have to watch the House proceedings. But soon they will take an oath to consider the evidence the House presents & “do impartial justice according to the Constitution & laws.” We should expect them to honor that oath. https://t.co/NBu8RGKYN7 — PolitiTweet.org

@SenDanSullivan @SenatorMenendez The three of us come from coastal states with front row seats to the peril of plastic waste & marine debris flowing into our oceans. Our bill will tackle this problem. Read more: https://t.co/Kr8Unshq3G — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
A great birthday present for @SenDanSullivan – our bipartisan marine debris bill with @SenatorMenendez, Save Our Seas 2.0, was just approved by the Senate Commerce Committee. That’s 3 Committees down. Now to the full Senate to approve! — PolitiTweet.org

It was great meeting with #RI @citizensclimate advocates to discuss forward-thinking solutions to climate change. I’m proud to stand with you on this issue. Thank you for your hard work! https://t.co/tpa6cVaHOI — PolitiTweet.org

With a new $84M federal contract announced today, @TheBrickleGroup continues RI’s tradition of making world-class products for the U.S. Armed Forces. Our long effort to convene the local textile industry & the support of @RItextiles @Polaris_mep @RealJobsRI are bearing fruit. https://t.co/YCc5u3Xgzx — PolitiTweet.org

Net effect? Even today, corporate America supports climate denial and obstruction. @Google has never pushed for any serious climate legislation; and it funds obstruction and denial. And yes, they are “hardly alone” in that. — PolitiTweet.org

"We're hardly alone among companies that contribute to organizations while strongly disagreeing with them on climate policy." YES, YOU CHOWDERHEAD, THAT’S THE PROBLEM!! Sorry to vent, but... aargh. — PolitiTweet.org

#DACA recipients follow the rules and contribute so much to their communities. The Trump administration wants to rip them out of those communities and deport them. It's time for SCOTUS to put an end to that shameful plan. — PolitiTweet.org
