Today, Senate Republicans blocked a domestic terror bill that would have given us a chance to address gun violence in our schools. The NRA barks an order, they comply. — PolitiTweet.org

And here’s the confession of a former gun industry executive, confirming the malign influence exercised by the gun industry through an absolutist NRA. https://t.co/y8K0RPEdnb — PolitiTweet.org

…funded by gun manufacturers, building an empire of dark money influence as a political firewall against responsible action. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
In the wake of horrific massacres our rage & grief are justified. But as time goes by, & emotions pass, the NRA plows on relentlessly… https://t.co/wfm3A85iZn — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a simple reason why we haven’t made progress on preventing mass shootings. https://t.co/mR4YkvsaqJ — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The NRA wants to talk about “reasonable” responses to massacres and murders, but there’s nothing about the NRA’s position that is “reasonable.” It has an absolutist ideology about guns that is driven by economic motivation – to keep gun manufactures making profits. — PolitiTweet.org

In a few minutes, I’ll join @JoyAnnReid to discuss gun safety legislation and the gun industry playbook for blocking action. — PolitiTweet.org

Remember: the NRA has a cynical playbook for moments like this. Don’t fall for it. — PolitiTweet.org

It is intensely frustrating, to the point of sickening, to serve in this body while massacres of children and others take place in venues like grocery stores and elementary schools, and we do nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenBlumenthal: I remember the feeling standing outside the firehouse in Sandy Hook as parents learned that their children would not be… — PolitiTweet.org

Those who stand against progress on common-sense gun protections should take stock. We must do something. — PolitiTweet.org

We are all too familiar with this kind of tragedy in America. Uvalde joins a long list of American communities torn apart by gun violence in our schools. The slaughter of our students happens with grim regularity, and it is met with equally grim inaction here in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Today, we sustained another mass murder of innocent children. My heart breaks for the families of those killed, and for the community of Uvalde. I wish them comfort. — PolitiTweet.org

It makes one wonder why we let corporations have such a dominant role in our politics. Their climate behavior is showing corporations to be unprincipled and untrustworthy, a menace not a friend, in dealing with climate change. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
I was just in Davos, hearing lots of corporate happy talk on climate, and trying to explain the actual political effort from corporate America in Congress. Basically, it’s the disinterested, the opposed, and the rabidly opposed, which sums to huge negative pressure. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Add up the lobbying, the election spending and the trade associations, and you have huge anti-climate pressure in Congress from corporate America — led by the @USChamber, but it’s only one of a hundred negative corporate forces. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Behind climate change inaction in Congress is climate change obstruction by corporate America. https://t.co/dmzAP6npzx — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
A corporate climate pledge means nothing – absolutely nothing – if the company is still giving money to @USChamber. Their anti-climate lobbying has ost us precious years and brings us closer to disaster. https://t.co/KU5QNxNoug — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Rolling Stone and @Jaymichaelson, for digging into what dark money did to our court system. Infuriating. Unpatriotic. Corrupt. https://t.co/rlW8r2IXGr — PolitiTweet.org

Or you could consider DOING SOMETHING ABOUT CLIMATE, for God’s sake! https://t.co/hasGGaO193 — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, we strengthened the enforcement tools the U.S. govt. uses to go after dirty money & hunt down the international criminals who prop up Putin. We’ll keep making it harder for oligarchs to support Russia – nobody is getting off the hook for the invasion of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Met with NATO military & civilian leadership last week to discuss freedom for Ukraine. Every day, the Ukrainian people fight bravely; our support must match their courage. https://t.co/PYfOqmfYX6 — PolitiTweet.org

There are few individuals who’ve made a bigger difference in the lives of Rhode Islanders than @NeilDSteinberg. Under Neil’s energetic and thoughtful leadership, @RIFoundation has stepped up as a force for good every time the state needed it. We are grateful. He’s been a friend. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s some good news - the Biden administration’s Justice40 Initiative is making progress. That means: - Replacing polluting diesel school buses - Creating public transit hubs - Removing barriers to employment in the green workforce — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing going on here. Please believe fossil fuel funded climate deniers. https://t.co/EppcM69YIK — PolitiTweet.org

Long article, but a strong reminder of the disgusting effect dark money has had in our politics.⬆️ — PolitiTweet.org

I always expect American ingenuity and innovation to win the day — but particularly where we start with a 3x carbon intensity advantage! — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
This @TheCLCouncil report shows how a carbon border adjustment levels the playing field & rewards businesses that are doing things right. I’ll introduce my own soon. https://t.co/151mLuBvfN — PolitiTweet.org
