.@realDonaldTrump’s proposed changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, are estimated to leave 3 million Americans without enough money to buy food and jeopardize access to school meals for 535,000 children. https://t.co/dJkMdRq0lh — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to celebrate 150th anniversary of @NUWCNewport with current & former staff who helped pioneer new technologies to support the Navy’s operations over the years. NUWC is a huge asset to RI, as undersea innovation is set to become even more important over the next 150 years. https://t.co/3zmnzGsZ6Z — PolitiTweet.org

Whaddaya know? Once you get out of U.S., even coal mining companies know climate change is serious and invest in serious action. Hello, #ChamberofCarbon (a top U.S. climate obstructor). https://t.co/XI07cP5Kp4 — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone from industry groups like @ShopFloorNAM and @AmChemistry to environmental groups like the @nature_org came together in support of this bill. I appreciate their good work. It’s the kind of cooperation we’ll need to combat the environmental challenges we face. — PolitiTweet.org

My legislation with @Sen_JoeManchin, @SenCapito, @SenBooker, @SenatorBraun, @RepCasten, & @RepMcKinley would unlock solutions to make American industrial companies more competitive internationally while reducing their carbon footprint. https://t.co/SBZFAjllQ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, the two worst climate obstructors in America are capitalist tools @USChamber and @ShopFloorNAM and corporate America is unwilling or unable to rein them. — PolitiTweet.org

A good sign when a contributor for @Forbes Magazine, the self-described "capitalist tool," comes out strong for addressing climate change. https://t.co/LIAXggGXBR — PolitiTweet.org

If @CocaCola is leaving trade associations for advocating against Coke’s policy, why not stop direct and indirect support of top climate obstructor @USChamber. https://t.co/xsYpd1QX4y — PolitiTweet.org

Public nuisance law is state law; carbon emissions have become a grave public nuisance; and a recent state appellate court nuisance decision in California shows the way. https://t.co/sBd7z5hDZn — PolitiTweet.org

Look for the strings to their fossil fuel puppet masters. https://t.co/tmoXfWO3sZ — PolitiTweet.org

After decades of disinterest, will any part of corporate America show up in Congress to push for climate action? So far, even green companies have been almost no help. If we’ve got 18 months, it had better happen fast. — PolitiTweet.org

After decades of obstruction, earning them the title of worst climate influencers, will powerful @USChamber and @ShopFloorNAM change their ways? https://t.co/mtPQxvaAeo — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Liberian Independence Day! Rhode Island has a vibrant Liberian community that has contributed so much to our state. I remain committed to passing @SenJackReed's bill to create a path to citizenship for these families. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud that my bipartisan STOIC Act with @HawleyMO has been signed into law so we can help members of law enforcement deal with what they must bear to keep people safe. https://t.co/dwv4LYiAO9 — PolitiTweet.org

Joined @ebcne this morning to discuss the ways that the climate crisis is putting New England’s economy at risk. I’m working every day in the Senate to build support for large-scale solutions that would lower emissions & prevent the worst effects of climate change in RI. — PolitiTweet.org

Really remarkable hearing in the Special Committee on the Climate Crisis. Spoke to Republicans who want to #ActOnClimate & are working to decrease the partisanship paralyzing us. Thanks @brianschatz for making this committee a reality. Learn more here: https://t.co/SFPutT78Lp — PolitiTweet.org

My opinion: automakers negotiated a secret deal with California because negotiations with EPA & DOT had a third party in the room calling the shots, the oil industry, led by Marathon Oil. At servile EPA & DOT, the oil guys ran over the auto guys, so the auto guys went elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Grain baron @Cargill made similar climate crisis prediction as @USDA: “U.S. production of corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton could decline ... 14 percent by midcentury ... 42 percent by late century ... without adaptation and investments in resilience.” — PolitiTweet.org
