Soon, the Court will release a decision in West Virginia v. EPA. This is a chance for the Court to advance a fringe right-wing theory and dismantle the core of modern government that protects you, your family, your community, and the environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Overturning Roe is just one goal for the Supreme Court’s Republican justices. For decades, far-right donors have wanted to gut the EPA and weaken the federal government’s regulatory powers. THREAD -> — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of fun at the 250th anniversary Gaspee Days in Pawtuxet. Long before some tea was pushed off the docks up in Boston, Rhode Islanders blew up a British ship. Happy celebrating, RI! https://t.co/WE61ngM5Dl — PolitiTweet.org

Affordable child care changes lives, strengthens families, bolsters our workforce, and builds brighter futures. Better pay is key. I was glad to bring to DC the lessons I heard last week from RI’s Beautiful Beginnings Child Care Center. https://t.co/3QebXbnZyv — PolitiTweet.org

Microplastics are everywhere.   It’s time Congress stepped up.  This is a plague.  https://t.co/0Cx0muIzII — PolitiTweet.org

As we pursue a cleaner future, we can’t risk losing jobs to countries with bogus climate policies. I’ve introduced a carbon border adjustment that’ll hold foreign polluters to the same standards as American producers.  That's a win for both our economy and our environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Successful investigations often "follow the money." But when the money flows through anonymizing channels, investigators hit impenetrable dead ends. It doesn't have to be this way. Our political system doesn't need to aid and abet the destruction of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

If we want to fulfill America’s promise to our children, we need to use every tool at our disposal to ease the student debt crisis. Here are some policies I’m pushing for: https://t.co/91MgcubJwj — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately the fossil fuel industry puts its own profits ahead of national security concerns, preferring to pollute whatever the cost to everyone else. https://t.co/R1Ogmd1u6D — PolitiTweet.org

A glance at this chart shows how the U.S. produces the same goods with less CO2. That’s why I’m pushing for a carbon border adjustment to encourage clean production – at home and abroad. https://t.co/phXGjSpJqa — PolitiTweet.org

Your utility bill could be funding shady anti-climate lobbying. My colleagues and I are trying to put a stop to that. https://t.co/mRs6AmOwAJ — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil chose to crush consumers and rake in huge profits. Now the White House joins me in saying we need to stand up to corporate greed and send money back to working Americans. https://t.co/qjBmplaoLH — PolitiTweet.org

We must look beyond the individuals who stormed the Capitol to the planners and funders who stoked the violence. Tonight, the House’s Jan. 6th Committee will shine a light on one of the darkest days in American history - and those who organized it. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans pay into Social Security on the sacred promise of protection if disability strikes & a dignified retirement in their golden years. Our Social Security Expansion Act delivers for seniors by expanding benefits to cover rising costs & ensuring long-term solvency. — PolitiTweet.org

It is notable how desperate the fossil fuel industry is to get these climate cases into federal courts, where they can be appealed to justices the industry paid to get appointed. https://t.co/IDWDtbc6k8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sotomayor calls out how “a restless and newly constituted Court sees fit to refashion“ rules and standards of law — in this case even the touchstone rule that on appeal from summary judgment the facts must be read in the light most favorable to the losing party. — PolitiTweet.org

Our bipartisan small business bankruptcy act is going to help working families regain their financial footing after a difficult few years. I’m glad that it will soon be the law of the land. — PolitiTweet.org

My DISCLOSE Act would require groups that spend money in elections to disclose donors who gave $10,000 or more during an election cycle. Pass this law and the American people might find out who funded the Jan. 6 insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org

The NRA has flooded American politics with dark money to defend their twisted ideology. That’s why the gun violence epidemic remains unaddressed. — PolitiTweet.org

Our oceans have made life on land possible for billions of years. Now, as temperatures rise, they’re absorbing over 90% of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gasses. If we want a livable planet, we must protect & preserve our oceans. #WorldOceansDay — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil chooses to keep prices high & gouge working Americans. I want to send those windfall profits back where they belong: your pocket. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I met with a group of advocates from @Everytown who are calling on Congress to take action on gun violence. I am committed to taking on the NRA, bringing about real reforms, and making sure Americans feel safe going about their daily lives. https://t.co/572pmRuKYB — PolitiTweet.org
