The #ICERaids reported to begin today aren’t about protecting national security, they’re about politics and power. Consider “Palmer Raids” one hundred years ago, and famous response of one legendary lawyer: Zechariah Chafee. — PolitiTweet.org

Yet another mass corporate failure on climate. Corporations aren’t people, which is why they make amoral and flawed decisions involving the interests of others. https://t.co/3atUki9SA4 — PolitiTweet.org

Whoever forgot to tell @SenAngusKing and me about this was being very shellfish. https://t.co/7IwvJ8NSQh — PolitiTweet.org

True. So pass a carbon fee and get things rolling! You’re one of the world’s ten biggest economies. Get us started. https://t.co/5Fl4WmUlU0 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Reich is right. Ditto on calling Republican judges “conservative.” They are not appointed to be conservative, & they are not conservative in any judicial sense. They are appointed to deliver wins for big Republican donor interests. https://t.co/kw75rQWBZi — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to meet with members of the African Community Leadership Forum. RI is a better place because of the contributions of our immigrant communities. https://t.co/T9i5Jaz0Uh — PolitiTweet.org

Once upon a time, American Nobel Prize winners gathered at the White House (in the greatest assembly of talent “since Thomas Jefferson dined alone”). Now this. https://t.co/7dLE9KPu3O — PolitiTweet.org

Alexander Acosta ultimately had no choice but to resign. His sweetheart prosecution deal for a billionaire serial sex offender had failed even to unearth the full extent of the offenses. Taxpayers deserve better. https://t.co/tIjn9sAdcB — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @LindseyGrahamSC: I saw this in the barber shop. Now that you’re 64 you may want to consider an update. BTW happy birthday. Your friend, Sheldon https://t.co/GKoADyuptx — PolitiTweet.org

How sincere is @Google’s political effort on climate? It supports climate denial group’s gala event, “support of the gala did not necessarily mean it supports climate denial.” With friends like that… https://t.co/D8SqakFP3G — PolitiTweet.org

His work on new ways to pay for health care while improving quality, like Primary Care First and the recently-announced kidney care models, are important steps toward paying for value instead of volume and improving the health of Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats to @AdamCMMi on his nomination to head the US International Development Finance Corp. Adam has been a thoughtful leader of @CMSinnovates and I have enjoyed working with him. — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t wait to see what this group comes up with. Polluter-approved dodges and half-measures? Hiding behind the Innovation Fairy? Or something real? Place your bets . . . https://t.co/Zer10pWpHP — PolitiTweet.org

Another trip into a different dark corner of the Republican smear machine. Creepy beyond belief. Hold your nose. https://t.co/C4b6HAlzYW — PolitiTweet.org

@CleanAirMoms A little rain can’t keep me away. Thank you guys for the hard work and dedication. You’re the best! — PolitiTweet.org

Predicted for years; fossil-fuel funded liars called it a hoax and questioned reliability and integrity of scientists; now wet feet on sunny days pretty well settle the question. Now are they going to believe the scientists? https://t.co/pAN928pIa1 — PolitiTweet.org

.@judicialnetwork policy director and chief counsel Carrie Severino is all over the airwaves touting her new Kavanaugh book as if it were objective reporting. That’s rich, considering she spent millions in anonymous money to prop up his nomination. Reveal your donors! — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: It was an honor to pay tribute to Jim Taricani, a Rhode Island icon and former @NBC10 reporter. He was tough, but always fair. He will be missed. https://t.co/3wq2WAHdOc — PolitiTweet.org

All of this appears to violate the Lobbying Disclosure Act and it prevents the public from knowing which big corporate interests are winning favors in Congress. We can put a stop to this: https://t.co/qlxazqfySb — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

BTW: Isn’t there a governance obligation to understand who is funding an entity on whose board you sit? Duty to inform yourself? — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Backstory: @USChamber spends more on federal lobbying than ANY other lobbying group. But it has failed to disclose which of its member companies fund its lobbying. How do member companies feel about this potential illegality? @CocaCola, @facebook, et al., you paying attention? — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Is the @USChamber, Washington’s biggest lobbyist, shirking its responsibility to disclose on whose behalf it is lobbying? @SenWarren and I want an investigation. #ChamberofCarbon https://t.co/frLJBJJcbB — PolitiTweet.org

Newport’s architectural history is a legacy passed down the generations, and the idea that this is now at risk thanks to fossil fuel industry lies and politics is infuriating! #ClimateCosts https://t.co/vYCWRQuBrR — PolitiTweet.org

Looks like one smelly avenue between @FedSoc and partisan federal judges just got closed off. https://t.co/Z5g2YtT7SX — PolitiTweet.org
