Congratulations on a historic career, @SenFeinstein. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are threatening the economic well-being of the United States by holding the “debt ceiling” hostage, so why won’t they show us what it is that they want? What are they hiding? And why are they hiding it? — PolitiTweet.org

That’s a lot of alignment in the State of the Union with my RI priorities, and I look forward to working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to keep up the fight for the Ocean State in Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

The temporary expansion of the Child Tax Credit in 2021 actually worked — it lifted Rhode Island families out of poverty and cut child poverty nearly in half. Let’s make it permanent and give every kid a fair start. — PolitiTweet.org

As Chairman of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control, I am committed to working with the president to curb illicit drug abuse and trafficking, including fentanyl. — PolitiTweet.org

I remain steadfast in my support for Ukraine. On my bipartisan visit to Ukraine last month, we renewed our vow to stand with them until they are victorious in their fight against Putin’s barbaric illegal invasion. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to make college more affordable. Through initiatives like increasing the maximum federal Pell Grant, we must heed the president’s call to make sure everyone has access to the education and training they need to pursue their American Dream. — PolitiTweet.org

The president’s proposal to ensure billionaires pay their fair share incorporates the principle of my Buffett Rule bill. In fact, he used my argument: billionaires shouldn’t pay lower tax rates than teachers and firefighters. — PolitiTweet.org

Replacing lead pipes is so important. I helped secure federal funding to replace toxic lead pipes across Rhode Island. There’s no reason why any child should grow up drinking toxic water from the tap. — PolitiTweet.org

The Inflation Reduction Act was the most ambitious legislation in our history to reduce emissions and address climate change. We need to build on that momentum to tackle the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Protecting Social Security and Medicare remain among my highest priorities. Rather than putting them on the chopping block, we need to improve and expand them. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, @POTUS delivered an optimistic, forward-looking State of the Union address. From protecting Social Security to protecting our planet, here are a few of the shared priorities the president highlighted: — PolitiTweet.org

It’s worse. Corporate political influence is deployed against meaningful climate action by trade associations that at best are deafeningly silent and at worst are flat-out enemies.    https://t.co/Lrq1U2DFEe — PolitiTweet.org

Our bill would increase Social Security benefits across the board and make sure benefits continue to rise in step with the actual inflation seniors face, all while protecting the promise of Social Security for future generations. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Some Republicans want to put Social Security on the chopping block, but I am fiercely determined to protect and expand the program for the millions of seniors who rely on it. Today, @SenSanders and I are reintroducing the Social Security Expansion Act. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m starting to like this guy Jack Smith. He seems to be driving this investigation forward without much public fuss or rancor, but with real energy. https://t.co/odctNXFEcb — PolitiTweet.org

This is a refiling, but don’t scoff — Durbin is determined on Dreamers and Graham has been a good partner in now three rounds of immigration negotiations. https://t.co/u5G637ITCR — PolitiTweet.org

Glad you didn’t buy the Republican nonsense (spun for the benefit of their big corporate and billionaire tax-dodging donors) that this new funding was going to be used to harass regular taxpayers. What a crock that was! It will actually help regular taxpayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, RIPTA will receive $55.9 million to improve transit across the state. Investing in public transportation helps lower emissions and boost the economy. https://t.co/J5gxPotRdy — PolitiTweet.org

My methane fee, as amended in the IRA, is now law. EPA’s methane regulation is now launched into Administrative Procedure Act process. So where is the multi-jurisdictional enforcement effort? This stuff is dangerous! https://t.co/tk5Wi9FLTY — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, Colonel Perez! I look forward to working with you. You have big shoes to fill, but your life story and your long experience in the department, in the community and with community policing specifically, all prepares you well. https://t.co/dXjO2Dqoel — PolitiTweet.org
