Where do they get off saying "the chief justice has tried to distance himself and the court from partisan politics"? At least 73 partisan 5-4 decisions on his watch benefiting key Republican donor interests? He just doesn’t want to get called out. https://t.co/jIumyXQCNC — PolitiTweet.org

Trying to have a productive discussion with the Russians and the Chinese on cybersecurity is a little bit like trying to bring a couple of burglars into a productive discussion on home security. https://t.co/gYzLan0Idk — PolitiTweet.org

These much-needed bridge improvements will make driving between Providence and the East Bay faster and safer, and prepare another major state artery for the twenty-first century economy. https://t.co/HcvvutJQnT — PolitiTweet.org

@USChamber But there is an insurrection within the Chamber. The insurgents should set a deadline by which they will change the Chamber or exit the Chamber. Chamber would like to slow-walk with soothing syrup but no real change. https://t.co/5wVpSDesLK — PolitiTweet.org

.@USChamber has been a top climate obstructor. I believe fossil fuel secret money is the reason. https://t.co/yZe2dt0O1J — PolitiTweet.org

.@IgnatiusPost is thoughtful and well-regarded on both sides of the aisle and delivers a scathing review of Pompeo putting his people under the bus and carrying political water for Trump at the expense of the truth. https://t.co/spntv0eOZn — PolitiTweet.org

Authorities try to stifle publication of political criticism of chief executive written anonymously, by going after the publisher — John Peter Zenger, 1734. (If Barr’s goons wait until November 17 to file their action they can hit the 285th anniversary.) https://t.co/gcBfnzTtxr — PolitiTweet.org

That is one mighty “refreshed” recollection! Sounds like his lawyers read up on perjury/false statements and gave him some good advice. https://t.co/4VuyJtGucL — PolitiTweet.org

My new budget reform bill with @SenatorEnzi might not sound glamorous, but it’s a bipartisan and important step towards fixing our broken budget process. https://t.co/fZHu4ivLqr — PolitiTweet.org

How can “analysis” pieces omit the main protagonist? A multi-hundred-million-dollar, fossil-fuel-funded campaign used front groups to disseminate climate denial & false doubt. Omitting that is like leaving Darth Vader & the Death Star out of Star Wars. https://t.co/BjlVWW2uhs — PolitiTweet.org

His language apes White House lies & spin; something career people are used to seeing in banana republics, not from their Secretary of State. — PolitiTweet.org

Pompeo failed to stand up for his people — a thing his people notice. Then he lied about being asked to, & has now been exposed for that lie by his own adviser. https://t.co/0RLWncHFxI — PolitiTweet.org

The 2009 @realDonaldTrump called the effects of climate change “catastrophic” and “irreversible.” Now this. Fossil fuel money is a powerful thing. https://t.co/dSkdURCYmD — PolitiTweet.org

“Fossil fuel interests have spent—and continue to spend—hundreds of millions of dollars deliberately misleading the public and stifling policy through disinformation and lobbying.” — PolitiTweet.org

“As a growing number of scholars, policymakers and activists have observed, the fossil fuel industry’s stranglehold on politics is a fundamental bottleneck to serious climate action.” — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. Great piece in @sciam calling out fossil fuel industry obstruction, science denial and lies. https://t.co/NMcaYqnFQQ — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

@maddow Agreed. No one has described @exxonmobil's climate denial master plan better than @SteveCollNY: "Strategists created layers of disguise, subtlety, and subterfuge -- corporate-funded 'grassroots' programs and purpose-built think tanks, as fingerprint-free as possible." — PolitiTweet.org

Nancy Pelosi spoke at LBJ dinner & offered this good advice: On effectiveness —“Have your vision; know your subject; have a plan to get things done.” On politics—“This is tough; you have to be able to take a punch & you have to be able to throw one. For [a good purpose].” https://t.co/yfnudZ2rRE — PolitiTweet.org

Remember “The Big Short,” the book and movie about the guy who predicted the mortgage collapse? Well, he’s back, and his new bet is on the coastal real estate values crash... https://t.co/XhONFHhyRf — PolitiTweet.org

Coastal property. “In the past, that’s where everybody wanted to be— everybody wants to be on the water. But now you look at that & say, woah, wait a minute, if seas are going to rise 3ft in the next 20 years, those assets may not actually be worth as much.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Fossil fuel. “There will be a day when the world can be 100% reliant on alternative energy. If you’re in an old school energy business and we hit that moment where we switch, guess what? The value of those old school investments isn’t going to be worth much.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I’ve been warning about a carbon asset bubble crashing fossil fuel stocks, and sea level rise risks crashing coastal property values. Well, here’s Marisa Drew, of @CreditSuisse, on the “go to zero” scenarios: https://t.co/pWcD9GF6ve — PolitiTweet.org

Trump wanted us to believe his tax policies would put America first. Now, while hard-working Americans pay their taxes (at a higher rate than billionaires), Trump makes it easier for big corporations to dodge taxes by setting up bogus residences overseas. https://t.co/WVCixNO4of — PolitiTweet.org
