An Emmy, an Oscar, a Tony, and now a Grammy. @ViolaDavis continues to make the smallest city in the smallest state proud. — PolitiTweet.org

Great piece from Ruth Marcus on the insanity which NRA money and Trump judges have created in our gun laws. https://t.co/pJuaYcxs3Y — PolitiTweet.org

Huge amounts of student debt are holding down borrowers. SCOTUS should reject politically motivated challenges to @POTUS’s loan forgiveness plan and free up tens of thousands of Rhode Islanders to buy homes, start families, and invest in their own children’s education. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil should use some of their immense profits to fund climate finance in developing countries. It’s a responsibility that lies squarely on the fossil fuel industry’s doorstep — and one the industry continues to duck. — PolitiTweet.org

Temperatures are forecasted to drop to extreme lows this weekend in RI. If you’re in need of temporary shelter, warming centers will be open across the state. https://t.co/wi07sGqfNs — PolitiTweet.org

This makes it all the more important that COP require corporate attendees to disclose their full climate political footprint. COPs swarm with corporate interests that want the COP to fail. They should not be allowed to attend without full disclosure. https://t.co/HmxtCRwae0 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s confounding that the Supreme Court has no structure for filing or investigating ethics complaints. The Supreme Court needs stronger ethics and recusal rules, procedures for enforcing those rules, and more transparency. https://t.co/bZdKPukr8S — PolitiTweet.org

This booming Democrat economy is not only creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, it is raising working wages. Now, on to a fairer tax system, so corporate and billionaire freeloaders don’t enjoy favored status! https://t.co/pSCuuYH0XU — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

One way we could fix the latter would be for @Shell to file an audited statement of its climate political footprint — campaign contributions, trade associations, lobbying, dark money spending — bet you lunch it would show intense political hostility to climate progress. — PolitiTweet.org

Corporations greenwash their investments, and they also greenwash their political activities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Bravo, @Global_Witness and take note, @SECGov. Greenwashing is an awful and all-too-common corporate practice, but it’s even worse when it misleads investors. https://t.co/T0CSCRvjwY — PolitiTweet.org

Take dark money out of politics — the dark money on which Republicans depend like a deep-sea diver on his air hose — and they don’t pull this kind of anti-democratic gotta-do-it-in-secrecy trickery. They could trust the open American democratic process. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We know that’s true because they won’t tell the American public what they want. But when they do, their plan will be obscured with gimmicks and jargon because it'll be so horrible they probably can’t get their own party to support the creepy billionaire anti-government agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

They are going the anti-democracy route of taking something valuable hostage in order to get in a back room and cut a secret deal for their billionaire and corporate funders. That just sucks. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

So why the hostage-taking now? Because the American public hates what they’re selling. They are serving an anti-government donor elite whose creepy plans to harm regular Americans won’t survive daylight in our constitutional process of democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

First, Republicans don’t take debt seriously. They massively raised our debt to give huge tax breaks to their big corporate and billionaire donors. — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP doesn’t like democracy because they can't win through democracy. So instead, they threaten to take hostage America's economic security. We really can't let that happen. https://t.co/Ay5zeaVuhM — PolitiTweet.org

How could there be a deal when the guy threatening to blow up the economy can’t specify what he wants? Or get his party to agree on it? https://t.co/E5smisrJtU — PolitiTweet.org
