Plastics industry is cool with using less than 2% recycled plastic in single-use disposables, and cool with less than 10% of plastics “recycling” actually being recycled, but when you try to fix it, they run a full page ad to make things up about the bill. Did they even read it? https://t.co/IN9s03O2ST — PolitiTweet.org

By contrast, the Sunday TV ‘political gossip columns’ have a terrible track record on climate. When late night comedy TV is more substantive on climate than Sunday political TV, there’s a problem. https://t.co/KsjVJBs0LW — PolitiTweet.org

CEOs of 26 leading U.S. companies applaud carbon pollution pricing we are working on in Finance, and urge that “Congress must pass effective climate legislation now.” Nothing is more effective than making polluters pay a fee for carbon emissions. https://t.co/hutTSWFzkb — PolitiTweet.org

Moody’s says @ExxonMobil scored poorly both on investment in low carbon technologies and exposure to stranded assets — another data point belying Exxon claims. — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see this done. It was a long, quiet fight to get that HFCs measure passed, including some opposition from our own side. But we’re there and that’s what matters. Next, methane and carbon. https://t.co/GuWwxJR644 — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, Federalist Society is the group that vets and boosts Republican judicial nominees. They picked all Trump’s SCOTUS nominees and rammed them onto the Court for the donors — who likely also funded Jan 6. — PolitiTweet.org

Leading up to Jan. 6, John Eastman presented Pence a bogus legal argument for overturning the election. Then he told the rioters Pence could do it. Eastman had been a Federalist Society practice group chair for 15 years. — PolitiTweet.org

The solution is to blow up the filibuster at least for debt limit votes, just as Mitch blew it up to pack the Supreme Court for his big donors. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s one thing for Republicans to say it’s on the Senate majority to raise the debt limit. It’s another thing to add “and we’ll filibuster you if you try.” — PolitiTweet.org

…which is why right wing extremists use the captured Supreme Court to do the dirty work. Dark money spent on judicial influence ops = $400 million. https://t.co/2Jk2410d64 — PolitiTweet.org

“One would have to be deliberately dense not to recognize that right-wing justices' 'judicial philosophy' inevitably and intentionally leads to right-wing policy outcomes, exactly as the groups who pushed for their nomination and confirmation intended.” https://t.co/ktXyJRhUrM — PolitiTweet.org

A carbon polluter fee is the simplest, most effective way to lead our planet and economy to safety in the race against climate change. Grateful to @ChrisCoons and @CoryBooker for signing onto the Save Our Future Act, which would charge the biggest polluters for their emissions. — PolitiTweet.org

Oil & gas industry fought regulation, pretending to prefer “market solutions,” until methane fee got real, and now claims to prefer regulation. Right. I am working to see they get both. — PolitiTweet.org

This National Estuaries Week, I am glad to lead my Senate colleagues in highlighting the importance of our nation’s estuaries. I’m going to keep fighting to protect the Narragansett Bay estuary, which is an important part of life in RI. https://t.co/M8POfiNs1p — PolitiTweet.org

Attacks on voting rights, women’s health care, our courts—it’s the same dark money behind it all. It’s a covert operation to rig our government in favor of big right-wing donors. Here’s how it works. https://t.co/dLQAhpdqYi — PolitiTweet.org

Climate alarms are blaring, but there's still time to meet nature’s test of 1.5 degrees C of warming. Congress must pass legislation to make polluters pay and reduce emissions by at least half by 2030. It’s the only path to safety. #CodeRedCongress — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Cruz has shut down the government before. He’s promised to filibuster a debt limit hike. That means 60 Senate votes. So no, we can’t do this on our own. https://t.co/9ecQvT0Hj3 — PolitiTweet.org

The “tainted process” is dark money driven, as is the Roberts 80-0 record of partisan 5-4 decisions advancing big Republican donor interests. Eighty is a LOT of decisions. 80-0 is a partisan rout. This is The Court That Dark Money Built. https://t.co/eWX3iBSbCA — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech’s climate lobbying/political effort is an embarrassment. TechNet barely lifts a finger, and some big tech companies support climate denial groups! The sad truth is ALL trade associations suck on climate, and the bigger they are the worse they are. https://t.co/gNxqDjI7Ki — PolitiTweet.org
