FACT: that’s what they’re SAYING, but what they’re DOING is funding climate denial and obstruction. (Imagine, fossil fuel CEOs not being truthful about climate change . . .) — PolitiTweet.org

Microsoft CEO: "There’s no fossil fuel CEO who sits there and says, ‘You know, I’m just gonna deny climate change,’ if anything, they’re all saying, ‘Let us have, in fact, the regulation, the pricing mechanisms that get us to this future.’" — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, there is money in serving kleptocracy and American Bar Association (lawyers) stands with the servants of kleptocracy. Yuck. — PolitiTweet.org

@PostOpinions Great piece. National security angle explained in my op-ed w Petraeus. This is the unsung security issue of our time. https://t.co/ku5TcgAZsH — PolitiTweet.org

Even Warren Buffett supports my minimum tax for people earning millions. Our tax system is now a racket run by and for the rich, with richest paying lowest rates, and the Republican tax scam made it worse. https://t.co/Al1Kn1na8U — PolitiTweet.org

Gen. Colin Powell: "Republican leaders and members of the Congress, both Senate and the House, are holding back because they're terrified of what will happen to any one of them if they speak out." https://t.co/Y39vMsGADq — PolitiTweet.org

Chief Justice Roberts’s “strong public defense of the court’s integrity has ... camouflag[ed] a subtle, long-game strategy to tilt the court’s jurisprudence decidedly to the right.” Add in dark money & the absence of meaningful ethics/reporting, & it’s a disaster in the making. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the ranting and raving Republicans are standing by: https://t.co/iDPT19hCsZ — PolitiTweet.org

This shows what happens to people when they get near Trump. Even good ones get the contagion. Sad outcome. https://t.co/pEtdsNp5Za — PolitiTweet.org

Key takeaway here: behind packed Court is a secretive enterprise using enormous amounts of dark money to control the judicial branch. Justices failing to police this tells a lot about its success. https://t.co/eoJwqfc0Yn — PolitiTweet.org

In September, Sunday shows stepped up their climate coverage. In particular, @MeetThePress, @FaceTheNation and @CNNSotu went in-depth on extreme weather & environmental rollbacks. https://t.co/CsAS5Su19k — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Unbelievable that press reports this without even a mention of the sordid, Koch-funded climate-denial & political obstruction effort. An A+ grade to the PR firm that orchestrated this; D- to the press for lamely spooning it up. These operatives should not escape accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

As the son, grandson, nephew and cousin of foreign service officers, who served often in dangerous posts, I agree: our diplomats are right to be angry. Pompeo has been a disgrace. He has let them down. He has stained a tradition of honor and loyalty. https://t.co/K6wNbcJ5gL — PolitiTweet.org

Now he’s redoing his secret Ukraine solicitation in plain view, with China, trying to absolve himself. (Gives new meaning to his “I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue” line.) — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Trump got away with obstruction of justice because Mueller ducked, AND because Trump did so much of it in plain view. “How could it be wrong if he’s doing it so publicly?” is a natural reaction Trump exploits. — PolitiTweet.org

Tells you a lot when McConnell is making this announcement before hearings are concluded, before Articles of Impeachment are presented, in a fundraising video. https://t.co/IFSaxQgFgW — PolitiTweet.org

I call it “climate denial lite” to count on the “Innovation Fairy” to magically solve this. Mr. Gates, you might want to clear that up. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Meanwhile, Republicans in the Senate are citing Gates as authority that “innovation” will magically cure climate change, inferring that they don’t need to do any serious legislation (like the carbon price that would actually impel innovation). https://t.co/xzJI9WjGcc — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Bad enough not to have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to Trump, but if the Republicans let themselves get rolled by these creepshow fabrications, it’s really a Spines of Foam moment. https://t.co/EVCUyuHcYl — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

If there is another whistleblower with more & better information, how do you suppose he/she felt about Trump’s attacks on the first whistleblower? & his talk about “spies” & treason? & hints about executions? Witnesses should be encouraged to come forward. https://t.co/8VfeRTpgkh — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I have a theory: some old white men in politics fear irrelevance as death, and will do anything for relevance — taking whatever deal with the devil is necessary. https://t.co/BR4323F8Ni — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

And in all those red states, it’s definitely not climate change... — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Yeah, unless you READ the whistleblower complaint and READ the transcript and see that the match is quite perfect. Transcript can actually be seen as worse! Is POTUS betting on supporters who can’t/won’t read, or just gaslighting obvious facts? This is not normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Watched @novaPBS on climate change amping up wildfires, funded by “David H. Koch Fund for Science.” Meanwhile, back in the Senate, it’s nonstop fighting Koch-funded climate science denial and obstruction. Weird. — PolitiTweet.org
