For every dollar of drugs sold, a dollar of revenue is hidden. Yet only a fraction of government resources are used to address money laundering & the dark economy of the drug trade. Now, the Senate Narcotics Caucus is focused on attacking the financing schemes run by cartels. — PolitiTweet.org

Prices are low — fossil fuel industry: “we need to pump more because prices are low.” Prices are high — fossil fuel industry: “we need to pump more because prices are high.” — PolitiTweet.org

Important update for Rhode Islanders: the American Rescue Plan expanded the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit for 2021. That means you could get up to $4,000 for one qualifying dependent, or $8,000 for two. Learn more here: https://t.co/jHDqHx2fig https://t.co/3ShviVMitO — PolitiTweet.org

Scientists (and Congress) have recognized carbon emissions as harmful pollutants for decades. If the Supreme Court makes up false facts to give fossil fuel a big win in WV v. EPA, here’s a timeline everybody should see from @BostonGlobe: https://t.co/xWJ7z0A4UW — PolitiTweet.org

Plus does he want to? When your crew is in the house shoveling the loot out the windows do you really want a ruckus on the front lawn? 6/3 before; 6/3 after. https://t.co/a2v9C6dwPw — PolitiTweet.org

By keeping secret, dark-money influence paths open for their fossil fuel funders, Republicans open the same paths to secret foreign influence. Some priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Stunning to be on with Zelenskyy in the midst of all this. God bless him and his people. https://t.co/FLYvyzyzlD — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden is right - fighting the opioid epidemic requires bipartisan cooperation. I introduced CARA 3.0 with @SenRobPortman to boost existing programs, expand prevention & treatment efforts, and make recovery possible for more Americans. It's time to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s drug cartels are hulking multi-national conglomerates, run on a massive dark economy. To weaken kleptocrats and criminals, we have to dismantle their financial networks and stay ahead of their tactics. https://t.co/moE8mHcbbM — PolitiTweet.org

Wonderful takedown of right-wing dark money hypocrisy by Dana Milbank. Laugh or cry? https://t.co/eX6JGsndMB — PolitiTweet.org

Oops! Fact checker blows up dark-money “fictitious” group Judicial Crisis Network complaining about dark money. Like Putin, the “fictitious name” group accuses others of doing what it is actually doing, as a propaganda strategy. Busted!! https://t.co/xhPqNffFAh — PolitiTweet.org

Polluter front groups (w pliant polluter-funded AGs) in Supreme Court asked justices they put on the Court to tear down regs limiting pollution, without an actual regulation to complain about. Some would say no “case or controversy,” but money talks — and dark money whispers. — PolitiTweet.org

The bipartisan Postal Service Reform Act will put USPS on solid financial footing and better support the hardworking letter carriers who deliver six days a week, no matter what. We look forward to passing it next week in the Senate. https://t.co/dy80bxwRzu — PolitiTweet.org

The numbers are in - US economy added 678,000 jobs in February. That’s good news for our country and a testament to our resilience. We have more to do, so this is a sign to keep pushing. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin chose this senseless war. Now, the Biden administration is standing up an international task force to put Russian oligarchs in a vice grip by seizing assets and imposing punishing costs.    There must be accountability and justice for the people of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Prosecutors should never confuse “not angering anyone” with “doing their jobs”; particularly where strategic faux outrage is used to deter them from doing their jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

We need an immediate windfall profits tax. Exxon et al will profit by billions off Ukraine’s misfortune and Putin’s cruelty, and plow that money back into climate denial and political dark money, extending their vicious cycle of profit and corruption. https://t.co/Srtyg4Q4XK — PolitiTweet.org

A good start. Needs hooks to Treasury/FinCen, State/sanctions, DOD/DNI (intel and seizure), and NSC. https://t.co/PEJQsfnGt2 — PolitiTweet.org
