We need to stop the kind of price gouging we’ve seen from Big Oil and other corporate bad actors during this global health crisis, and help Americans afford groceries and transportation. I’m glad to join @SenWarren in offering the Price Gouging Prevention Act of 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @rikidscount for creating an amazing resource to help get kids off to a stronger start. I’m working hard in Washington to invest in RI kids by improving child care, education, and support for families. — PolitiTweet.org

Let's take a look at some of the key trends we observed in this year's #RIFactbook. 💡🧵 https://t.co/IAppjn8rxq

Big Republican donor interests built their supermajority to deliver wins like this one – wins that help special interests skirt our democratic process to achieve what they want. The Court’s reputation cannot withstand much more of this. — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Kagan has it right in her dissent: greenlighting the payment schemes at issue in this case "bring[s] this country’s political system into further disrepute." — PolitiTweet.org

Republican donors’ biggest booster, Mitch McConnell, gave away the game in his brief in this case - he called for gutting our campaign finance laws altogether. He made clear he wants an America where corporations & the wealthiest few wield near-total control over our politics. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The Supreme Court’s ruling in FEC v. Cruz is another victory for right-wing donors in their assault on our campaign finance system, and another step toward unlimited special-interest spending in our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

I’d love to see how much of that money goes to front groups to buy political obstruction of climate legislation, but they keep it secret for a reason. https://t.co/VxB0BUaT2o — PolitiTweet.org

Annihilating Roe means women with the least will suffer the most. That’s flat wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Even BoJo is looking at clawback of Big Oil’s grotesque price-gouging and excess profits! Time to stand up for consumers. https://t.co/06TQ6OWSSO — PolitiTweet.org

“Tremendously bad” isn’t justices picked in Federalist Society back room, isn’t dark money campaigns to confirm them, isn’t right-wing front group amicus flotillas, isn’t 80-0 partisan win rate for Republican donor interests. Nope, it’s a leaked draft. https://t.co/fZshMCV6ba — PolitiTweet.org

One weekend, two horrific shootings in America. We must act to rid ourselves of gun violence, and we must reckon with the unbridled hate that too often drives it. — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, my colleagues and I published a report detailing the Republican takeover of our judiciary. The consequences for reproductive rights are dire. https://t.co/lt4YRDGPht — PolitiTweet.org

A political party violated every norm to achieve their majority on the Supreme Court, overturn Roe, and impose their ideology on millions who don’t agree with them. How are Americans supposed to have any faith in this system? — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty good thumbnail summary of “how it works” over at The Court That Dark Money Built (it’s actually even worse): https://t.co/ucUHqUNRxj — PolitiTweet.org

Plastics recycling is a joke because plastics industry takes no interest. They treat it as the public’s problem, don’t invest, and take no responsibility. “Privatize the profit, socialize the harm” is too often industry’s motto. https://t.co/mzgBqkbsa6 — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t tolerate a system that lets dark money groups operate without oversight – not when they spend 100s of millions per election cycle without disclosing their donors. Citizens are denied the basic right to know what is going on around them in their democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Roe is just one target for the far-right organizations that captured the Supreme Court - our democracy is also in peril. Remember, this is the same crew that unleashed dark money with Citizens United and gutted the Voting Rights Act to permit widespread restrictions. — PolitiTweet.org

Brutal. The price of fossil fuel isn’t just at the pump. https://t.co/KevAz0WY0G — PolitiTweet.org

Chosen in a Federalist Society back room; powered through confirmation on waves of dark money; listening to flotillas of phony front groups; and delivering constantly for right-wing special interests — what could people possibly find wrong with that? https://t.co/xSgkA4CuNA — PolitiTweet.org
