If fossil fuel companies come to COP, they should come clean, with an audited report of their climate political footprint: campaign donations, trade associations, lobbying, dark money.   https://t.co/VeTtJj50jF — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve never seen an investigation whose results were released along with some third party vouching for the investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Before we even get to the circumstances, can we just pause on how weird it is that an investigation had a third party assigned to vouch for it? https://t.co/wJJAukgkJo — PolitiTweet.org

Local authorities took swift action to hold the officers involved accountable, and I urge peaceful protest as the federal civil rights and state and local investigations continue. — PolitiTweet.org

The video showing the violence that led to the death of Tyre Nichols is agonizing to watch, and our nation grieves tonight for the Nichols family. — PolitiTweet.org

Investment in renewables and EVs keeps climbing, but to be safe we need to stop investment in fossil fuel. https://t.co/10l0raUn9g — PolitiTweet.org

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we renew our pledge to #NeverForget the 6 million Jews and millions of other innocent victims murdered during the Holocaust. As Elie Wiesel said, “Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is a matter of national security. With her climate expertise, @BrownUniversity’s own @CoralsNCaves will give our planet a voice on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. Congratulations, Kim, and thank you for your work. https://t.co/zAHHnzWdKm — PolitiTweet.org

A similar bill actually passed by conservatives in UK! But Republicans always put their fossil fuel patrons first. — PolitiTweet.org

This bounty for management and shareholders came out of consumers’ pockets, thanks to price-gouging by the international oil cartel. If my excess profits clawback law had passed, some of this money would be in your pocket instead. https://t.co/tERYHpxFsb — PolitiTweet.org

“Now, more than 40 years after those studies began, there should be consequences, whether civil or criminal. The House must empower a committee to investigate this deceit and the harm it caused.” — PolitiTweet.org

Exxon climate deceit called out by Texas newspaper! The day of reckoning nears. https://t.co/dDcvkNuf2U — PolitiTweet.org

@SenJackReed @SenateBudget Thank you, Chairman Reed. :-) — PolitiTweet.org

I very much look forward to taking the helm. We are ready to hit the ground running to make the budget process and the entirety of the federal government work better for hardworking Rhode Islanders, grow the middle class, and lead the planet to safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We’ve got a planet seriously in trouble because of the unbridled mischief of the fossil fuel industry, we’ve got runaway economic inequality, and we’ve got a health care system that too often does not work for patients. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Chief among these is climate change, as economic experts warn of serious financial risks and as climate-related disaster spending continues to soar. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Together with the members of the Committee, we will examine a range of subjects that have enormous consequences for American families, the economy, and the federal budget. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pleased to announce that I will step into the role of Chairman of the U.S. Senate Budget Committee for the 118th Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Despite all this harm and danger, the tentacles of the fossil fuel industry reach so far into the Republican Party that Republicans not only do nothing, but block Democratic efforts to solve the climate problem. https://t.co/15QFgvKjCh — PolitiTweet.org

If the EU matches us on clean energy supports, and we match them on pollution tariffs, and if the rest of the G7 joins in, a path to climate safety that the world doesn’t have now will open up. https://t.co/kTmeayckmx — PolitiTweet.org

Your health shouldn’t be determined by the price tag of lifesaving drugs. Thankfully for folks on Medicare, the cost of insulin is now capped at $35/month. https://t.co/IJsFvmDiIV — PolitiTweet.org

A Rhode Island moment: Vietnam POW and Rhode Islander Porter Halyburton will be interviewed on national television on the show CBS SATURDAY MORNING on Jan 28, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Paris Peace Accords. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Good overview of the preposterous MAGA vendetta against my friend Adam Schiff. https://t.co/3muIF9mkat — PolitiTweet.org

I was pleased to secure $800,000 in funding for @MentoringRI last year, and even happier to meet with members of their team in DC to hear how they’re putting that funding to work expanding mentorship to more Rhode Islanders. I look forward to our continued partnership. https://t.co/n4v5olbdBW — PolitiTweet.org

Logjam breaks! Administration sending over 30 tanks to Ukraine, and Germany now authorizing transfer of Leopards. Great news. https://t.co/5NzGwNdeVU — PolitiTweet.org

This open enrollment season, a record-breaking 16.3M Americans signed up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Plus, 80% of enrollees were able to find plans for less than $10/month. Democrats will continue working to lower costs and improve access to care. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @RepCicilline: Remember how Senate and @HouseDemocrats capped insulin costs last year? Well, @HHSGov just reported that this law could… — PolitiTweet.org

Somebody explain how the MAGA House crew throws Adam Schiff off a committee over “integrity” and then stands by this serial liar and cheat. https://t.co/YiRZVNSsRt — PolitiTweet.org

There is an epidemic of fakery and greenwashing in corporate America about climate, so this litigation comes as no surprise. An honest courtroom straightens a lot of things out. https://t.co/UTInEurDJT — PolitiTweet.org
