Now let’s close loopholes that reward sending jobs and profits overseas.  We’ve got to help President Biden do our part in delivering on this new international agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t keep letting big corporations avoid paying a fair share in taxes. This deal represents an important step toward fairness and accountability across our international tax systems. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday’s Supreme Court decisions make it clear. It’s up to Congress to protect the voting rights of millions of Americans. Let’s do our job. https://t.co/CVz3BbGURz — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to Utility Workers and environmental justice groups for working with us on my bill on clean energy transition. https://t.co/x4uTsrhNty — PolitiTweet.org

Kind of rich that Judicial Crisis Network, central to dark-money scheme to pack and capture the Court, complains about “pressure” on the Court when we call out their scheme. https://t.co/NpDbTVFVan https://t.co/TVfoEIN2M2 — PolitiTweet.org

They all knew. The Chamber knew. Exxon knew. They did the research, and then they lied about it, and corrupted America’s response. Remind me — why did we let corporations in our politics? — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Ask the Chamber, and ask all its members, how much fossil fuel money did your organization take to became the worst climate obstructor in America? Fair question. They won’t say. https://t.co/aoCIYBmMM1 — PolitiTweet.org

We need to update and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Pass it on. — PolitiTweet.org

More on the liars and their lies — systematic, material, knowing lies. https://t.co/7qkp6jxevf — PolitiTweet.org

Exxon got caught red-handed in the gap between its public posture & its politics in Congress. The problem is not the leak, it’s that gap; plus Exxon’s refusal to come clean, disclose its decades of climate denial and obstruction, & prove that it’s over. https://t.co/l80ppyefSL — PolitiTweet.org

60 years of @URIGSO! We’re lucky to have world-class pioneers of ocean science here in RI. — PolitiTweet.org

PS: This was the case in which an unprecedented armada of 50 dark-money-funded front groups came to the Court at the certiorari stage to urge the Justices selected and campaigned for by dark money groups to take the case. It’s not even subtle. This is their big payback. — PolitiTweet.org

The Court That Dark Money Built just built dark money a home in our Constitution. A dark, dark day for democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t know of one Democratic Senator who supported “defunding the police.” Meanwhile, every Senate Republican opposed the Rescue Plan $$ that actually funded local, county and state police (and first responders) hit by the pandemic. https://t.co/2XxI4u8mko — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not just the pollution. It’s the fraud they committed, and the corruption they abetted, and the lasting damage of the “lost decade” they acquired with dark money. https://t.co/QNn0XJ3sS6 — PolitiTweet.org

This confirms what we in the arena have known: the @USChamber has been Public Enemy #1 on climate denial for a long time. With much to atone for, secrecy and dissembling remain their go-to schemes. https://t.co/RGnHNEOV4C — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @POTUS for flagging to me that he signs the methane CRA today — a good step, with more to come on methane. — PolitiTweet.org

The Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack shows why we should consider a regulated process for companies to respond when targeted. Many thanks to @SteveDaines for working on this exploratory bill with me. https://t.co/PM2ZdTQ0Wa — PolitiTweet.org

This weather isn’t a freak event. It’s climate change in action and it will get much, much worse if we don’t act. Michael is the guy fossil fuel flunkies tormented for the “hockey stick.” But the truth will come out, and they were lying. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve made incredible progress in the fight against COVID-19, but we still have a long way to go. Thankfully, vaccines are free, safe, and easy to find. Sign up at: https://t.co/e6YPSfNK2H — PolitiTweet.org

Without a price on carbon, it’s an uphill climb against $600B+ fossil fuel subsidy. https://t.co/AUjLY0l3zt — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A price on carbon will speed that up, as will verified offsets. https://t.co/GFgzYtD4PZ — PolitiTweet.org

Waterfire is a RI classic; it got clobbered by covid; Rescue Plan $$ will help it back on its feet. https://t.co/XFGsfBhAjz — PolitiTweet.org

55 of the biggest corporations in our country paid no federal income taxes last year. We ought to make sure giant companies pay their share, and invest in things that actually help people like education, infrastructure, and clean energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Won’t discovery be illuminating! How well do you suppose those schemers covered their tracks to hide the motive to suppress minority voting? Emails, texts, depositions (under oath) and other documents can tell quite a tale. — PolitiTweet.org

Michigan flooding, Northwest heat, Southwest drought — not normal. Time to wake up? — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting. Can we boom? https://t.co/d7qrttnT2b — PolitiTweet.org

Good news out of @DEAHQ, which just issued a final rule allowing providers to operate mobile methadone clinics to better reach underserved areas. Next, we need to pass my CARA 3.0 bill with @senrobportman to further expand access to this important treatment. — PolitiTweet.org
