If you believe @realDonaldTrump didn’t know, you then must believe his staff thinks he’s such a child that he’d melt down over seeing the USS John McCain. That’s not a better story. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

What a low and disgraceful act. Since when does the United States Navy hide the name of one of its heroes on a US Navy ship? We need to know who did this. https://t.co/2mc9az82y3 — PolitiTweet.org

Thad Cochran was a decent and devoted public servant. I am proud to have served with him and will always remember his kindness towards me when I was a new Senator. My condolences to the Cochran family and the people of Mississippi. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Undeniable evidence that @realDonaldTrump’s citizenship question is motivated by @GOP’s quest for power – and to deny Americans their voice in our democracy. Watch closely. This is a test of the Roberts Five’s integrity. https://t.co/fbdsP3dQie — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing is shifting. The standard has always been the same: partisan judges who will reliably rule for the big donors who fund his operation, and who also fund the selection of the judges. Something is rotten . . . https://t.co/5EQwy0DqTG — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Worse, those interests secretly also fund groups that pick our judges so judges will protect the dark-money influence machine that picked them. It is a scandal, and it corrodes the American ideal. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Underlying problem for U.S. is political system polluted with toxic levels of special-interest dark money. When you let big interests secretly buy influence, you get what we see: a government captive to secret special-interest influence. — PolitiTweet.org

They see it in glaciers, oceans, fisheries, weather, animal life. No denying. — PolitiTweet.org

Five Senators, five days, six places: Canada, Greenland, Norway, Faroe Islands, Scotland, Iceland. Common theme? No U.S. #ChamberofCarbon-type industry-funded denial/obstruction groups, so everywhere clarity and progress on climate. https://t.co/W1Bym9ydP0 — PolitiTweet.org

I believe there are many questions that it would be appropriate for Mr. Mueller to answer. He does not get to ride off into the sunset just yet. — PolitiTweet.org

.@ShopFloorNAM and @USChamber are ranked the worst climate influences on Congress. Don’t let them off the hook — all part of the disinformation scheme. #ChamberofCarbon — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t trust the Big Oil CEOs. This is the toxic nonsense the fossil fuel industry still funds. Paid liars, paid by industry. This is what we’re up against. Sickening. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Losing trust of sources, or other intelligence services, is the issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Set aside the partisan nonsense. In many countries, sources risk their lives to share information with us or other intelligence services. They trust our procedures. When we change them, particularly for politics, it sends a tremor through the system. https://t.co/vke4ZOMueB — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

"From the mouths of babes . . ." @GretaThunberg is correct. And in our country the reason is torrents of fossil fuel money funneled secretly through corporate political hit groups like #ChamberofCarbon and @ShopFloorNAM — the two worst, per @InfluenceMap. — PolitiTweet.org

Louisiana is the leading edge of the coastal property values crash that @UCSUSA, @FreddieMac and others warned us about. Double insurance cost, and value falls. https://t.co/v21SIC1W7E — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

ProJo had to go to Kentucky to find fossil fuel front group to publish. Actually, due to conservation and efficiency, RI bills are often lower than producer states, and the check you write is based on your bill not the rate. Typical fossil fuel nonsense. https://t.co/aHtMrU2JJq — PolitiTweet.org

What’s at stake if Leonard Leo’s dark money machine continues to control our courts: worker safety protections, the minimum wage, equal rights for women, Social Security, access to education, collective bargaining rights, the list goes on. Not to mention corrupted courts. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

And the solution is painless; it’s actually good for the economy, our health, and our natural bounty. Crooked Oil wants to stop it for selfish reasons, but it’s actually a Big Win for America. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Now is the time. As Nobel Prize-winning economist @JosephEStiglitz wrote, "the more time that passes, the more expensive it becomes to address climate change." #ClimateCosts https://t.co/x4siRuw4QG — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We should not tolerate the fossil fuel industry’s efforts to lead us down the road to an unnecessary financial crisis. We’re creating a risk for generations to come — kids and grandkids won’t thank us for this mess. #ClimateCosts — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Climate change is a key force weighing on the health of our economy. Fossil fuel political blockade exposes us to major economic risks. #ClimateCosts https://t.co/fv9wycrfgC — PolitiTweet.org
