For years now the executive branch, through its Office of Legal Counsel, has been pushing more and more aggressive legal theories to thwart congressional oversight. Today at 2pm my subcommittee will hear from OLC about this logjam and discuss how we can fix it. — PolitiTweet.org

Or, if you live in Rhode Island, you can go to CRMC “StormTools” program and drill right down to street address. RI did this because FEMA maps were so unreliable — great work! https://t.co/zWDHNzEIR3 — PolitiTweet.org

Starting today, millions of Americans will be able to buy hearing aids over the counter. This move will slash costs and make it easier to get hearing aids – we’ve delivered another win for affordable health care. https://t.co/UICJRCIbx3 — PolitiTweet.org

“Methodologically flexible but ideologically rigid” is another way of saying the Court will adapt its analysis to get to the result it wants. Whatever that is, it’s not being a court. https://t.co/iHQTQlgHWD — PolitiTweet.org

These are terror attacks and the state that sponsors the terror should be accountable under the law. https://t.co/Pkp0vqiGip — PolitiTweet.org

Just one episode in fossil fuel’s sprawling covert effort to corrupt science and government. Goal? Pollute for free!! And it worked. :-( https://t.co/k4yMXnf124 — PolitiTweet.org

Right. And then there’s the problem that they pollute, corrupt and lie at industrial scale. https://t.co/Av2gqYv4tz — PolitiTweet.org

It does seem SCOTUS is isolated on ethics issues from rest of federal bench, who are under a judicial Code of Ethics that Supreme Court justices are not — except as they themselves see fit (“judex in sua causa,” as they say). Where’s Nemo? — PolitiTweet.org

Supreme Court also wouldn’t do anything about using “personal hospitality” exemption for hospitality received from people with no personal relationship (e.g. owners of resorts) — but Judicial Conference did. They are examining the issue now. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite repeated requests, Supreme Court wouldn’t do anything about dark-money amicus briefs — but Judicial Conference did. They are examining the issue now. — PolitiTweet.org

David Cicilline gets a nice cross-party shout-out from Congresswoman Cheney. https://t.co/v5eQp9iZIy — PolitiTweet.org

A lawyer for groups like U.S. Chamber of Commerce (aka #ChamberofCarbon) says that forcing disclosure of major contributors could cause amicus briefs from those groups to be viewed more skeptically. That’s kind of the point. https://t.co/QquEpRroY8 — PolitiTweet.org

4. Fixing Section 230 can restore principles of liability that have stood the test of centuries and can be trusted by us today. — PolitiTweet.org

3. Real disclosure of disinformation funders, letting small competitors grow under some protection, and requiring algorithmic transparency — all are viable remedies for those problems. — PolitiTweet.org

2. Repealing 230 without replacing it creates subordinate problems: how to deal with disinformation campaigns; how to protect emerging competitors; how to improve systems transparency. — PolitiTweet.org

1. We should repeal Sec. 230, as it does more harm than good, and replace it with a more targeted solution. — PolitiTweet.org

That’s a powerful mechanism to counter Big Oil’s destructive greed in the face of global crises. Let’s get it passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Our bill is designed to fight profiteering & guarantee relief for Americans at the pump. When large oil companies start raking in excessive profits, the bill would claw back those ill-gotten gains and return them to consumers in the form of a quarterly rebate. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
OPEC’s production cut is a gift to Russia and to Big Oil. @RepKhanna and I have a plan to protect American consumers from ploys like this one and the profiteering that will follow, and it’s called the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax. — PolitiTweet.org

If we continue to build transmission at our current rate, we will lose up to 80% of the expected emissions reductions from the IRA. So count me in for smart permitting reform to speed the deployment of transmission and other low-carbon projects, particularly for offshore wind! — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Currently, we’re expanding transmission capacity by only about 1% per year. According to analysis from @Princeton, we need to more than double that rate at in order to realize the full emissions reducing potential of the IRA. https://t.co/ylSHvporAV — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Manchin’s permitting proposal, while flawed, did contain important provisions to help speed up the approval process for interstate transmission lines. https://t.co/QghntvxIcZ — PolitiTweet.org
