For a guy who likes to do a lot of talking, he doesn’t seem to want to talk much under oath.   #ThankGodForCourts https://t.co/176KiIDQ1O — PolitiTweet.org

The Blob was worse than doom-and-gloomy about the prospects of Ukrainian victory, it presumed that they did not exist at all, on a par with Martian intervention. — PolitiTweet.org

The problem of the national security “Blob” is not what they don’t know, it’s what they do know that just ain’t so. https://t.co/uFiyzfVvOI — PolitiTweet.org

During the pandemic, @USDA's school meal flexibilities helped 30 million children get the nutrition they needed. It's time to extend those flexibilities, and I've joined @SenStabenow's Support Kids Not Red Tape Act to make sure RI kids stay healthy & cared for. — PolitiTweet.org

.@CommerceGov is considering ramped-up solar tariffs that would cost 70K American jobs & cut solar deployment by 16 gigawatts annually, which is 2/3s of what we installed last year. We can’t delay our renewable transition, and their probe could be the start of a big setback. — PolitiTweet.org

Good to meet Amy and Angel, two hyacinth macaws, at @RWPZoo’s 150th birthday celebration. I also checked in on Sheldon the armadillo while I was there and have been assured he is doing well. https://t.co/Da3hYS8Gex — PolitiTweet.org

I hope the FTC takes a careful look at the Microsoft-Activision deal. We need to guarantee accountability for tech employees – and employees everywhere – who’ve sustained serious abuse at the hands of their employers. — PolitiTweet.org

I wish Bob DiMuccio well on his retirement, after 17 years as one of RI’s most engaged and community-minded CEOs. He sets the standard. — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t rely on Chinese imports to power America’s clean energy revolution. With strong environmental safeguards in place, the Defense Production Act can be a useful tool for getting more American-made renewables on the market. https://t.co/KqukRALH6o — PolitiTweet.org

While I agree with most of this, I think the article gets the motivation wrong. It’s not Thomas’s views on abortion. To Mitch, that’s just another issue. It’s Thomas’s views on dark money. That’s Mitch’s life support system and the source of his power.  https://t.co/YHHUQt7IQv — PolitiTweet.org

The Republican majority on the Supreme Court has delivered over 80 5-4 partisan wins for big corporate & partisan donors. The American people see those decisions and understand that the Court is rigged – that it’s now The Court That Dark Money Built. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Well before the Trump presidency, powerful right-wing donor interests began spending massive sums of money to install justices on the Supreme Court - justices whom they expected to rule reliably in their favor. https://t.co/Tq2rXcFqRX — PolitiTweet.org

New report from @LungAssociation estimates that wide-spread transition to zero-emission vehicles in Rhode Island could prevent 6,500 asthma attacks and have a public health benefit of $3.8 billion. Another good reason to make the switch. — PolitiTweet.org

There were persistent efforts in the Judiciary Committee to rewrite Judge Jackson’s own history, but she dispensed with those attempts very effectively. There were other attempts to rewrite history that I’d like to correct here today. https://t.co/7xV21xpRbL — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Republicans tried to rewrite history during Judge Jackson’s hearing, and I’m headed to the Senate floor to set the record straight. Tune in soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, I met students from North Kingstown High School who traveled to DC to learn about our democracy firsthand. I’m glad to see young Rhode Islanders engaging in civic life! https://t.co/s7g4CqZm4o — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Generations of Rhode Islanders have used Pell Grants to unlock opportunities in higher education. In his budget, @POTUS renewed the noble vision of the late Senator Pell by including a plan to double the grant’s maximum award, and I’ll fight to see this through in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

It could also reveal if members of Congress were in on the plot, and objected to ballots intending to extend the process out purposefully to allow time for the assault on the Capitol to disrupt the ballot count. I hope that’s not true, but it needs to be settled. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Okay, this is really important. Investigative tools can now be brought to bear to secure evidence of intent of funders and organizers, and distinguish between protected speech and an illegal plot.   https://t.co/CX2r5gTHSD — PolitiTweet.org

America watched Judge Jackson carry herself with strength and composure. She is a remarkably qualified nominee, and it showed. — PolitiTweet.org

Dark-money Kochs just can’t resist, it seems. No one loves autocracy more than a wannabe autocrat. https://t.co/CcWdkdIkAZ — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil is doing great – they’re bragging about their profits to investors, while American families face higher & higher gas prices. @RoKhanna and I introduced the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax to send half of those gains back to consumers. Let's fix this. https://t.co/2k4GmaJDrs — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Hedge funds & private equity firms shouldn’t be able to help oligarchs dodge sanctions. @SenWarren and I are calling on @USTreasury and the SEC to close this dangerous loophole and keep illicit cash out of our financial system. https://t.co/PvmR2shh47 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

My colleagues and I propose sending Big Oil’s massive windfall profits to the hardworking people who paid for them at the gas pump. https://t.co/7OQ4soHMXY — PolitiTweet.org

Rhode Island's @meganranney is right - health care workers are burned out, and our entire system is under strain. It's time to invest in our health care workforce, get serious about public health, and support the people who perform this important work. https://t.co/HcWKZdObbn — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The Court’s 6-3 Republican majority regularly hands big wins to right-wing donor interests, and the fossil fuel industry is probably the biggest donor interest of all. I'll keep fighting to expose the dark-money networks that corrupt our courts and block action on climate. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Thank you @POTUS and congratulations to @SenBooker for his leadership and determination in seeing this long-overdue bill over the finish line. We must continue to confront hate and bigotry in all its forms. — PolitiTweet.org
