“So they've just turned around and said, 'We know climate change is happening, we want to take action on it. Oh, but not this action,' any time action comes up." Yup. — PolitiTweet.org

"[M]ost Americans know that climate change is happening, and [Big Oil] would look self-serving and out of touch if they tried to deny climate change.” — PolitiTweet.org

Glad that @NASAA_Arts chose the Creative Capital for this year’s Leadership Institute. Hope you enjoyed your time in Providence! #nasaaRI — PolitiTweet.org

While scrupulously leaving their special interest dark-money channels wide open for foreign influence . . . . This is bogus. https://t.co/lJvdqrmALP — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Warren Town Manager Kate Michaud & her team on securing for the town this Main St. waterfront property, which holds significant promise for economic development. The federal delegation stands ready to help turn this lot into a signature gateway to the town. https://t.co/YhfM1SXFbW — PolitiTweet.org

It was a solemn honor to welcome the Vietnam War Memorial Moving Wall to RI. The Wall is open to the public at Touro Park in Newport through September 23. https://t.co/PDaYhUpvJM — PolitiTweet.org

Good editorial by @projo. We need to keep working toward an efficient, smart health care system that puts patients’ health first. https://t.co/9dHJ2sxBqY — PolitiTweet.org

West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin: "We’re living in a world of just crude politics, corruption in plain sight, out-and-out lying, and a staggeringly, breathtakingly dumb person in the Oval Office" https://t.co/TmN99oNprE — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry’s fingerprints are all over the Trump administration’s plan to roll those standards back. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

It’s bizarre that the DOJ is choosing to investigate a case in which the White House has gotten itself enraged because 4 auto companies are working with California to negotiate fuel standards. https://t.co/bfVJqVleR2 — PolitiTweet.org

Together with his cheerful collegiality, these skills propelled him into House Leadership, which assures that RI concerns have a voice at the highest levels in the House. That’s a big asset in our delegation for our State. — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW, as an inhabitant of this ecosystem, I see @davidcicilline as having exceptional skills as a lawyer, advocate and debater. https://t.co/gjpdmlZq3f — PolitiTweet.org

@RepDonBeyer @LFFriedman Well done, Congressman. Hard to believe Wheeler never read a wish list that (1) belonged to his lobbying client, (2) he was photographed with and (3) has been the subject of broad media coverage since. Oh and which he has carried out virtually to the letter. — PolitiTweet.org

.@senatemajldr, your own party supports this - both in Congress and in red state communities along the coast. So what’s the hold up? https://t.co/MAnEaZDyoz — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, the opposition has nothing to do with true conservatism, but everything to do with political muscle of the fossil fuel industry, and indolence of rest of corporate America. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Very conservative @HudsonInstitute scholar makes case for a price on carbon emissions. There’s lots I disagree with in this op-ed, but it’s a start. https://t.co/a28HoQj6om — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t wait for discovery in litigation by Ca. AG as to how & where this scheme was cooked up! — PolitiTweet.org

For nearly 5 decades RI, California, other states used the #CleanAirAct to protect residents from tailpipe pollution. Trump’s effort to undo California auto standards is a threat to states’ rights & the health of millions. — PolitiTweet.org

Gee, I wonder who could be behind this troll campaign? https://t.co/v6CEHtXyx5 — PolitiTweet.org

86% of Americans support red flag laws. 89% support expanding federal background checks. We don’t listen to the popular will because of the anti-Democratic menace the @NRA has become. In a functional democracy, we would respond to this bloodshed. #EndGunViolence https://t.co/4Adum2Wqt0 — PolitiTweet.org

"We don't know exactly what happened here: did the FBI know about this and not investigate it? That's a serious issue. Were the questions to then-Judge Kavanaugh sufficient to have triggered an explanation to this and did he not answer truthfully? That's a serious issue." — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

On Kavanaugh: "[T]he important thing is to figure out what in the process went wrong and how do you fix that process." That begins with investigating the FBI’s sham investigation, which was directed not by FBI procedures but White House politics. https://t.co/oMbjmbjf1e — PolitiTweet.org

@billmckibben @USChamber But still, net-zero effort in Congress (and trust me, banks know how to get their way in Congress when they want to). — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

@billmckibben @USChamber Banks and insurers are finally beginning to take this somewhat seriously as economic threats from climate crisis begin to loom over their own bottom lines. https://t.co/FdR6HVEyKy — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

@billmckibben More generally, America’s corporate community has done squat on climate in Congress. Many both do nothing AND support leading climate obstructors like @USChamber. So corporate two-facedness on climate is nothing new — it’s their baseline. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

@billmckibben McKibben’s piece aligns with this climate speech I gave about the two-faced role of American bankers talking a good game on climate while funding polluters. https://t.co/5S7Jg9rKz9 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This is an excellent piece by climate stalwart and personal hero @billmckibben. https://t.co/c5Tqu9RnHR — PolitiTweet.org
