If “inflation” just means the economy is fabulously strong and surging ahead of supply, there are worse problems to be had. — PolitiTweet.org

I am prepared to bet that @exxonmobil Management has not reported to its own board the scale and scope of its political influence operations to attack climate science and oppose climate legislation. The new board members should find out. — PolitiTweet.org

56 years ago, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act to guarantee every American a voice in our government. Now, that promise is eroding under a relentless dark-money operation to prevent voting. We MUST restore & strengthen the VRA. — PolitiTweet.org

A great, bipartisan measure to protect the Olympics. We passed the Rodchenkov Act to tackle doping and hold corrupt governments accountable, but the GOLD Act goes further and strengthens our ability to prosecute #doping. Kleptocrats, beware. — PolitiTweet.org

I would prefer if they went to ‘net zero’ climate denial, or ‘net zero’ opposition to carbon pricing (which they claim to support), or ‘net zero’ malign political influence. How about an audit of your political influence efforts in the last decade, guys? https://t.co/YNimvYwnTW — PolitiTweet.org

.@Exxonmobil says they support climate action (because they have to say that), but their lobbyist admitted it’s a scam, and they keep spend big bucks on climate disinformation. This is shamefully dishonest behavior. Go @InfluenceMap! https://t.co/T6kUnRiKLO — PolitiTweet.org

What terrible news to have lost Rich Trumka. He was a powerful voice and a committed leader. I am very sorry, and send condolences to so many family, friends and colleagues for whom this is a stunning blow. — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke at @DFADcoalition’s #RecessCanWait rally yesterday to urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass the For the People Act. Thank you to all of the activists for keeping the pressure on. This is a popular bill, have faith. — PolitiTweet.org

For 231 years, the U.S. Coast Guard kept our nation safe. Thank you to the brave men & women who save ships in peril, protect our fisheries, and intercept criminals before they reach our shores. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, @SenMarkKelly, on your maiden speech in the Senate today. I look forward to working with you to strengthen our economy and help those struggling due to the pandemic. Arizonians are lucky to have you fighting for them. — PolitiTweet.org

These inspiring designs for making the Pell Bridge more accessible to Rhode Islanders are worth a look. Amazing work by @RISD graduate students. https://t.co/cirfnVG8Pk — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate recently passed my bipartisan bill to provide inmates with substance use treatment so they can recover from addiction and successfully reintegrate into everyday life. This will reduce recidivism, improve lives, and keep communities safer. — PolitiTweet.org

.@APIenergy said it supports carbon pricing. Then they opposed our methane pricing. What’s the throughline there? Oh, yes, maybe the fossil fuel lobbyist who confessed “support” for carbon pricing was phony — just another dodge by the deniers. — PolitiTweet.org

Hang in there, Todd! We still have reconciliation, where the heavy lifting on climate will get done. An Ocean Stater and a Big Sky guy share common cause on that! https://t.co/mQBMN6AVjj — PolitiTweet.org

There’s an important player in fighting climate change that nobody’s talking about: the insurance industry. Sounds like a stretch? Watch my video to be convinced. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a pungent summary of @JaneMayerNYer’s expose on the dark money attack on the ballot. This is why I war on the dark money covert operation. BTW it’s also behind climate denial, court capture and Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/lEz9jN7NVQ — PolitiTweet.org

Without good faith, executive privilege is a process of “intransigence and delay, ending in stalemate.” So let’s get to work, first on repairing the foundation, and second on solving the impasse dilemma. Watch: https://t.co/rmEfiACUIC — PolitiTweet.org

In my Judiciary Subcommittee hearing today, I’ll outline the three lessons I hope we can agree on when it comes to executive privilege: 1⃣ There is considerable agreement among experts. 2⃣ There is established process. 3⃣ Good faith is required for it to work. — PolitiTweet.org

My heart goes out to the families and friends of Officers Gunther Hashida and Kyle DeFreytag. They risked their lives defending the Capitol against a violent mob on January 6th. They held the line. God bless them. — PolitiTweet.org

Members of both parties are very concerned with federal agencies ignoring legitimate requests from Congress. It’s time to fix our system for resolving disputes between Americans’ elected representatives and the executive branch. — PolitiTweet.org
