@NRA @FedSoc No number of lives lost will ever sway the gun lobby and their judicial enablers. If left up to them, this grim routine will continue in perpetuity. — PolitiTweet.org

@NRA @FedSoc Meanwhile, Americans are being murdered every day with firearms in classrooms or movie theaters or churches or city streets. — PolitiTweet.org

After putting Kavanaugh on the Court to “break the tie,” the @NRA, @FedSoc & other partisan dark money groups are confident that the Court’s Republican-appointed majority will rule in their favor. — PolitiTweet.org

After another tragic decade of gun violence in America, the Supreme Court will consider its first major challenge to gun safety laws since 2010. My colleagues & I filed a brief detailing how special interests have all but rigged the case. https://t.co/EFLjGlOmLB — PolitiTweet.org

Re @exxonmobil: Just curious how much Exxon paid @USChamber and @ShopFloorNAM to become two worst climate obstructors in America? #ChamberofCarbon — PolitiTweet.org

“Junk insurance” is right. Thanks to the Trump administration, companies can use “short-term” health insurance plans to pocket your premiums and provide fewer benefits. These plans work for insurance companies, not patients. https://t.co/B2mjX2ODxh — PolitiTweet.org

My congratulations and deep appreciation to Congdon Street Baptist Church--a pillar of the community in Providence for 200 years. https://t.co/xjClwlZQPa — PolitiTweet.org

Well said on Trump’s reverse ‘drain the swamp.’ When greed clashes with knowledge, run off the experts and bring in the corporate toadies! https://t.co/6MyTdmfI2x — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t have private developers carve up our public oceans in private meetings with private financers, and then expect everyone else to dance to their tune. RI and Deepwater showed how to do it: work together first, and you end up with a good design and a smooth process. — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of pieces in place: all-payer claims database; CurrentCare electronic health network; top-in-U.S. Accountable Care Organizations (Coastal, for one); powerful work on advanced care (MOLST, for instance); great community health centers. — PolitiTweet.org

Remember: “systemic risk to the financial system and the economy” is a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad thing when you translate it out of banker-speak. This is not a drill. #ClimateRisks — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
For the record, @USChamber (aka #ChamberofCarbon) & NAM are two industry associations “undermining” worse than anyone in America, per @InfluenceMap. I repeat: the WORST. Could you investors be a little bit more than just “interested”? #ClimateRisks — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans struggle to respond to climate change b/c fossil fuel industry has them by the choke-chain. Republicans struggle to respond to drug prices b/c Pharma has them by the choke-chain. Make political funding disclosure the law of the land and a lot of this will clear up. — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder what liability (E&O) insurance #ChamberofCarbon provides directors, who are not informed about where #ChamberofCarbon gets its money and why it is top climate obstructor. Ditto NAM board, guys — you’re not off the hook. #ExxonPays — PolitiTweet.org

As this article on climate liability points out, “directors must act with reasonable care to review all available information to make the best informed decisions.” — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @SenSchumer. They’re going to want “tepid” gun laws to placate the @NRA, and “tepid” election interference laws to placate big-money donors, just like they want “tepid” drug price protections to placate Pharma lobby. We can’t let that happen. https://t.co/DSEWgMq2ta — PolitiTweet.org

Why do I fight so hard on climate change? See these two great articles in @RIMonthly. Sea level rise puts Rhode Island coasts in peril. https://t.co/IOss9DRH6j https://t.co/Y0NEht1XqL — PolitiTweet.org

Insurers have been thinking about climate mostly in terms of how it will affect claims; there hasn't been sufficient focus on how it will affect their reserves. When reserves fall and claims rise, is when insurers fail. This is serious. #ClimateRisks https://t.co/CPmEt5gnXd — PolitiTweet.org

And an open question: how much does Exxon pay U.S. Chamber (#ChamberofCarbon) and NAM to be the two WORST CLIMATE OBSTRUCTORS IN AMERICA? #ExxonKnew #ExxonLies #ExxonPays https://t.co/mtPQxvaAeo — PolitiTweet.org

Reason: “There’s got to be an escalation. You cannot have the same conversation for 15 years with no results.” Hats off to @LGIM for being serious about holding polluters to account. Other institutional investors would do well to take note. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Warning shot! @LGIM (about $1.3 trillion), one of Exxon’s top 20 shareholders, dumped about $300 million worth of Exxon shares and pledged to vote remaining shares against Exxon Chairman/CEO Darren Woods. #ExxonKnew #ExxonLies https://t.co/zqxZbjuemT — PolitiTweet.org
