The other science for the fossil fuel goons to fear is the science examining their big crooked climate denial scheme. Run, can’t hide! https://t.co/dekKHIuoYs — PolitiTweet.org

@PostOpinions Republican national security official joins Gen. Petraeus in our concern that shell corporations degrade national security. How? By facilitating enemies: criminals; autocrats & kleptocrats; dark $$$/Paradise Papers networks & by degrading our reputation. https://t.co/ev4EtBVSPi — PolitiTweet.org

Climate denial is alive & well & funded by @exxonmobil. @USChamber is tied for worst climate obstructor. A true rogues gallery. Lies and money are the tools. #ChamberofCarbon https://t.co/Sgcaa2nh8w — PolitiTweet.org

United States Senator John Chafee — governor, environmentalist, war hero, first to host a climate hearing — died twenty years ago today. Take a pause to honor a deeply honorable man. — PolitiTweet.org

You can always count on the fossil fuel toadies at @WSJopinion. For years, they've smeared slimy climate denial across their page. Nobody loves a polluter like they do! https://t.co/EQ415Zw7cT — PolitiTweet.org

These brave scientists have spent their careers fighting against the mischief & deception @exxonmobil sows. Now, they’re working to make sure the public understands Exxon’s dirty tactics. An important read. https://t.co/fiAjCXFGYl — PolitiTweet.org

Plus Taylor is a West Point graduate who fought in Vietnam and was previously appointed ambassador to Ukraine by George W. Bush. Shows how vile WH lying has become — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Reminder: actually not normal for WH press secretaries to deploy this sort of frantic, thuggish falsehood against American citizen, federal career official (and — yes — Trump appointee). Should be ashamed, but sociopathic Trump WH has no shame. Not normal; don’t ‘get over it.’ — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Ambassador Taylor “was tapped in June… by Secretary... Pompeo to come out of retirement to lead the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine,” but now that Taylor is a first-hand witness to quid pro quo, WH Pres Sec says he’s a “radical unelected bureaucrat[ ] waging war on the Constitution.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

My friend @LindseyGrahamSC knows better. Prosecutors usually prepare our cases through secret grand juries; trial is where you confront witnesses; trial of impeachment is in the Senate; Senate impeachment rules allow Lindsey to ask even for witnesses Trump lawyers don’t call. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

@exxonmobil I’d suggest NY AG take a look back at the “climate risk report” that @exxonmobil released to shareholders. A carbon capture boom while electric vehicles & renewables flop? Evidence, please? https://t.co/43dEbGZfTd — PolitiTweet.org

Pompeo: Giuliani role “completely appropriate.” Something else everybody in the State Department knows is false. No wonder Pompeo is despised. https://t.co/2UuZ56unJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

@TechNetUpdates Check out @CocaCola and @PepsiCo’s American Beverage Association if you want to see another industry trade group doing nothing. (Notice in this how energized they can be when they care about something — ‘09-‘10 was Obamacare and sugary beverage tax being considered.) https://t.co/eJGWHzndjo — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

One example: @TechNetUpdates is the Silicon Valley trade association that lobbies for tech giants like Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft and Salesforce. Until recently it didn’t even mention climate change in lobbying materials. https://t.co/H7rCnSXBGk — PolitiTweet.org

High court must avoid partisan behavior if it’s going to avoid partisan perceptions. Under Roberts, 73 partisan 5-4 decisions rewarding Republican donor interests. Don’t ask us to play the fool. https://t.co/LAKSwSRfI2 — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller Report: Trump never testified; federal court reveals Don Jr. & McGahn never testified; & DOJ policy Mueller relied on not to indict Trump for obstruction has since been blown up in another federal court— pretty dainty tip-toeing for a "witch hunt." https://t.co/2l5AAXBUBb — PolitiTweet.org
