Corporations are raising prices simply because they can. I’m fighting back – to keep Americans’ money in their pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans are fed up with secret donors influencing our elections. Democrats are fighting to pass the DISCLOSE Act to get dark money out of politics – so Americans can feel confident that Congress works for them. — PolitiTweet.org

This proves the point that there’s no “energy independence” when the energy is oil. No way. https://t.co/6O192jwBfl — PolitiTweet.org

I am thrilled @RIDOTNews won its largest federal grant ever from the INFRA program I created, and that the funding will support major upgrades to Rte. 146, like the elimination of the dangerous Sayles Hill bottleneck. Driving Rte. 146 will soon be more pleasant and efficient. https://t.co/SRFCn73j3p — PolitiTweet.org

Still no explanation of how Exxon arrived at that projection. https://t.co/6scrj94TtT — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Someone needs to tell Exxon, who told shareholders there would be zero electric heavy duty trucks and buses in the world by 2040. (Seemed fishy, since RI had already ordered three electric buses, and China had thousands in use.) — PolitiTweet.org

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program has let down too many borrowers, including Peace Corps volunteers who deferred their payments while serving abroad. @SenJeffMerkley and I introduced a bill to fix that & support our nation’s public servants. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We must pass the DISCLOSE Act to shine the light of transparency on dark-money power. Congress should work for the American people - not special interests. https://t.co/3J5hhobTVs — PolitiTweet.org

American companies are finding smart ways to reduce their carbon emissions. In fact, our manufacturers are 40% more carbon-efficient than the global average. Let’s reward them for that innovation through a carbon border adjustment. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s break the cycle of market concentration & regulatory capture by big corporations. Americans are sick of their greed. — PolitiTweet.org

The fossil fuel industry lies for a living, deliberately and purposefully, and they lie to steal from you your future for their present profits, and they lie to hide from you their culpability for the evil they have wrought. — PolitiTweet.org

Well, corporate analyst Deloitte says it’s a present value $43 trillion gain to address climate, and a $178 trillion loss if we fail to — a $220+ trillion dollar difference! https://t.co/Kc5hcS1fVh — PolitiTweet.org

Remember fossil fuel’s lie that climate action has big costs? “Yes, we should do something about climate but not wreck the economy”? — PolitiTweet.org

All the fossil fuel lies in the world can’t change the fact that there CANNOT be “energy independence” with a commodity whose price is set by OPEC and international speculators, and a domestic industry that has hooked itself to that international price. https://t.co/opEQ8LmD06 — PolitiTweet.org

This week, I visited Beautiful Beginnings Child Care Center in Providence to meet with staff and understand the challenges they face as care providers. This is important work that strengthens communities and prepares children for success, so we need to be investing in it. https://t.co/AieK7vizZg — PolitiTweet.org

#PrideMonth represents decades of advocacy, activism, and hard-won progress. Americans deserve to be themselves and live the lives they choose, and I will fight to defend that freedom by passing the Equality Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Excess profits could be $100 billion dollars, a bit of which will be plowed back into dark-money political spending for Republicans, rewarding them for their role in helping Big Oil gouge consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

They can do it in UK, under a conservative government; but today’s Republican Party is the political tool of the fossil fuel industry, so we meet “conservative” (read: fossil-fuel-funded) opposition. https://t.co/H7zoShvLy5 — PolitiTweet.org

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program has landed many Americans in a bureaucratic nightmare with no relief in sight. @SenJeffMerkley and I just introduced a bill to build on the Biden administration’s fixes & help more people work for the public good. — PolitiTweet.org

When wealthy donors call the shots, it’s no surprise that Republicans plan to raise taxes for millions of hard-working Americans while protecting corporate interests. — PolitiTweet.org

.@EPA Brownfields funding from our bipartisan infrastructure law will put vacant, polluted lots back to productive use and breathe new life into neighborhoods in Woonsocket and across the state. https://t.co/WGtpFx2sqp — PolitiTweet.org

The one through-line for Mitch is the political money. It’s always about the political money, and the NRA is the conduit for masses of political money — $100 million in dark money alone. https://t.co/CwJFgB67gI — PolitiTweet.org

But the fossil fuel propaganda machine charged forward anyway. — PolitiTweet.org
