At the same time, big corporations feeling they have to do something is significant. It's a signal of where the public has moved. Corps. don’t do this kind of thing without lots of market analysis so this must sell well. The public is clearly with us, as even Luntz polling shows. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a good overview. @AOC is correct that companies can’t be trusted: many are still funding the more powerful opposition (@USChamber, @ShopFloorNAM, @NFIB, @FarmBureau) trying to stamp out these tendrils of progress. #ClimateCosts https://t.co/k82lGLAEuo — PolitiTweet.org

Typical polluter-friendly nonsense from @WSJ. Notice what is not mentioned. Right: any cost of harm from climate disruptions. They just can’t help it. https://t.co/EOS5ViiZqe — PolitiTweet.org

It was a privilege to join Captain Matthew August's family & the many friends whose lives he touched to dedicate the Saunderstown post office in his honor. Our country & our community are forever grateful for Captain August's service & the sacrifice he made for his nation. https://t.co/41TazN2S7q — PolitiTweet.org

.@exxonmobil, on the other hand, assumes zero EV truck/bus fleet by 2040 (we already know that’s wrong; E-buses drive in #RI and all over China), & lowest passenger EV adoption rate I’ve ever seen, to placate shareholders into believing it can extract all known claimed reserves. https://t.co/GFL3ZTPKVo — PolitiTweet.org

There is a lot that I would disagree with this GOP congressman about, but clearly his law school taught him well. This is incisive. https://t.co/UM0aUW84uy — PolitiTweet.org

When a Texas Republican Senator acknowledges that the days of ignoring climate change are over, that’s another step forward. https://t.co/CXIfNUHWEl — PolitiTweet.org

Here we go. Unlike Arctic, Antarctica is a continent. Melting sea ice diminishes buttress keeping land ice in place, so land ice flow to ocean increases, and sea levels rise. Coastal states need to wake their Senators up. Where are Senate Rs on climate legislation? No place. — PolitiTweet.org

I will always fight to protect Medicare, Social Security, and other programs that our #RhodeIsland seniors rely on. That’s why I’m so proud of my 100% voting record on legislation that supports older Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, Steve, on this #PoliceWeek recognition of your son Conor’s commitment and bravery at Las Vegas massacre. Remember also Trooper Bastajian’s courage at Boston Marathon bombing. RISP proud! https://t.co/ROWBg1hntj — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @davidcicilline on the #EqualityAct’s passage in the House. Proud to be a cosponsor in the Senate. No one should be discriminated against because of their sex, gender, or sexual orientation. Mitch, we want a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

He’ll serve out his stooge term, get taken care of by the fossil fuel industry, retire to golf courses & corporate boards — & yes, never lose a moment’s sleep over his well-compensated time as climate stooge. Unless one night he gets visited by the Ghost of Climates Past. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 65th anniversary of #BrownvBoard, the landmark Supreme Court decision that struck down school segregation. We can never forget just how much #CourtsMatter. — PolitiTweet.org

My bipartisan bill with @SenBlumenthal & @LindseyGrahamSC to improve election security just passed in Judiciary Committee. Protecting the instruments of our democracy & safeguarding Americans’ faith in elections are bipartisan goals. https://t.co/dNK0cp1N6H — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Stevens: three top stinker Supreme Court decisions in his time are Heller (guns), Bush v. Gore (Court Republicans pick Republican President) & #CitizensUnited (unlimited money in politics; instantly, unlimited dark money). — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe they should send Pruitt’s tab to #ChamberofCarbon to pay, since Pruitt served their fossil-fuel donors so faithfully. Or @ShopFloorNAM , the other top climate-obstruction shop in DC. Tag it “For Services Rendered." https://t.co/pY4hRIvHpN — PolitiTweet.org

But most of corporate America takes no interest in climate action in Congress, and many support trade groups like @USChamber and @ShopFloorNAM that are relentlessly opposed (likely thanks to secret fossil fuel funding). #ChamberofCarbon — PolitiTweet.org

It is good that these companies are getting involved, joining Danone, Mars, Nestle, Unilever and a few others. https://t.co/zPa5nTp23c — PolitiTweet.org

Check out @InfluenceMap's list of the worst lobbying groups on climate. Bottom-of-the-list worst on climate, virtual tie: @USChamber & @ShopFloorNAM. Companies that support this have some explaining to do! #ChamberofCarbon https://t.co/ZYMuqt2aFQ — PolitiTweet.org

George W. Bush's National Economic Council director says China plays @realDonaldTrump as "a 10-out-of-10 narcissist," says Trump has no long-term plans or ability to think ahead, says Trump has long-term decision-making ability of an "empty chair." Reassured? — PolitiTweet.org

I am voting NO on Ninth Circuit nominee Kenneth Lee, another ideological extremist with integrity problems being handed a lifetime judicial appointment (ring any bells?). Our courts’ legitimacy is at stake. #CourtsMatter #UnfittoJudge — PolitiTweet.org

I met with the famous Juliana, of the Juliana case in Oregon, which is young people suing to protect their right to a safe and stable future & a safe and stable climate. This is really important stuff. Thanks @youthvgov! https://t.co/fZaA2flnMq — PolitiTweet.org
