This is why the Federalist Society was the turnstile for Supreme Court nominees.   This is why anonymous donors wrote checks as big as $17 million to the Judicial Crisis Network for ad campaigns for right-wing nominees. — PolitiTweet.org

This is why they eliminated the filibuster for Gorsuch.   This is why they pressured the FBI to tank the Kavanaugh investigation.   This is why they broke the “Garland rule” to stuff Barrett on the Court mid-election.   This is why $580 million was spent to capture the Court. — PolitiTweet.org

No one should be surprised at what the leak of Alito’s opinion taking away abortion rights revealed. There is a plan, and this is just one part of it.   This is why Mitch McConnell refused to let the Senate consider Judge Merrick Garland. — PolitiTweet.org

We shouldn’t turn a blind eye to oil companies overcharging American consumers. It’s time to pass my windfall profits clawback and fix this broken system. https://t.co/6lXT87oXZ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Another day has gone by, and I still haven’t heard from any of my Republican colleagues. Voters on both sides of the aisle want to get dark money out of politics, but that bipartisanship doesn’t seem to extend to Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenJackReed and I secured $5M in federal funds to realize Warwick leaders’ vision for a new plaza to serve as the cultural and economic centerpiece of the city. With an ice skating rink and event space, it will be a destination city center. Congrats Mayor Picozzi and team. https://t.co/5Q2YpPoKIB — PolitiTweet.org

The past two years have been very difficult for families with young children, and child care workers stepped up. On Provider Appreciation Day, I’d like to thank America’s child care workers for all the important work that you do. #ThankYouChildCare — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting. Like Ruth Marcus, he surmises the Supreme Court leak came from the conservative right, not the liberal left. If so, some of my outspoken Senate colleagues have a lot of standing down to do. https://t.co/ik97ahFmTu — PolitiTweet.org

It’s simple - American consumers shouldn’t be bankrolling excessive profit margins that pad the pockets of CEOs and shareholders. Let’s rein in corporate profiteering and deliver relief for consumers. https://t.co/r7ZZt83Pl8 — PolitiTweet.org

Swarms of tax-exempt groups have been allowed to flood American politics with dark money, and our democracy is suffering for it. Even worse, the IRS has barely attempted oversight or enforcement. I’ll be chairing a hearing on this issue in a few minutes– tune in soon. — PolitiTweet.org
