Oceans are warming, acidifying, losing oxygen, and rising upon our shores. Measurements are clear. But Republicans follow fossil fuel front groups who fund them like #ChamberofCarbon. https://t.co/gzPU9sprCK — PolitiTweet.org

Why did @realDonaldTrump decide to pardon U.S. service members implicated in serious war crimes? I joined @SenatorLeahy to try & get some answers. https://t.co/gDODZNNtXi — PolitiTweet.org

I’m taking part in New York Climate Week with my colleagues on the @SenDemsClimate Committee. Seeing the energy and dedication of the young climate activists assembled gives me hope. We’re continuing to battle forward. #ActOnClimate https://t.co/kS9eX0mE3d — PolitiTweet.org

“So they've just turned around and said, 'We know climate change is happening, we want to take action on it. Oh, but not this action,' any time action comes up.” Yup. — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelEMann was just an ordinary climate scientist, until the fossil fuel hoodlums tried to ruin his life. Over & over, he has fought back, hard. Here’s another win. As they say, it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. Way to go! — PolitiTweet.org

This ought to be transparent, but donors pay to pick the judges, campaign for them, and instruct them through “amicus” briefs, all in secret. What could possibly go wrong with secret million-dollar donors picking judges? Go get ‘em, Al! — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

@FedSoc grooms candidates and funnels money to judicial campaigns, and selects Trump judges. So-called “nonprofits” like BH Fund get secret money; (@FedSoc’s Leonard Leo raised over $250 million) to install donor-friendly judges. — PolitiTweet.org

Divulging grand jury information is a serious offense that no judge will take lightly. It can put witnesses at risk, compromise important evidence, and threaten the integrity of entire investigations and prosecutions. #WhatAreTheyHiding #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/v690orTiIO — PolitiTweet.org

. This must drive Mattis nuts — he asks added funds for urgent military requirements; Congress agrees and funds DOD; Trump tries “bait and switch” to divert $$ to Big Dumb Wall. Terrible position for Mattis, likely not in on “bait and switch” scheme. https://t.co/pcHSUnvisk — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a piece on why "we will continue to lose ground (literally, as we lose shorelines and islands to sea-level rise)" if we don't act. @CarbonWrangler & I agree: it's time for a "climate counterstrike" & carbon capture & utilization is a good start. https://t.co/BbFX0P3lD2 — PolitiTweet.org
