Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is an excellent choice to fill Merrick Garland’s seat. I’m glad to see her confirmed. — PolitiTweet.org

Today we pause to remember the 600,000 Americans – including more than 2,700 Rhode Islanders – sadly lost to COVID-19. Even as signs of recovery are all around us, we are keeping the unfathomable number of families grieving loved ones in our hearts. — PolitiTweet.org

When you pull back the curtain on voter suppression, you see a lot of dark money groups desperately clinging to power. The #ForThePeople Act isn’t just about protecting the right to vote – it’s about tackling the rot of dark money in our democracy. No wonder they’re scared. — PolitiTweet.org

Barr says he didn’t know. Rosenstein says he didn’t know. What does Wray say? https://t.co/0OodlNC19Q — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to my friend and EPW Chairman @SenatorCarper for joining @GrowSmartRI’s #GrowSmartAwards this am. We have a big opportunity to invest in infrastructure and climate right now, and we all really appreciated your insight on building back better. — PolitiTweet.org

I spent years pushing the Munich Security Conference to address climate change and kleptocracy. Now the Atlantic Charter has been amended. https://t.co/xlq7a7EEqF — PolitiTweet.org

Our American Rescue Plan made high-quality health insurance more affordable than ever for Rhode Islanders. Glad to join my delegation colleagues last week to get the word out about the savings available now. Call @HealthSourceRI at 1-855-840-4774 to #GetCovered. https://t.co/jNa5ATzlbl — PolitiTweet.org

Porsche is a high-end, high-performance niche, so interesting to see explosive growth and now dominance of electric sales. https://t.co/z6QJ03hbWE — PolitiTweet.org

No more quarreling among enviros and advocates. The issue is not “or” but “and.” We need to come together on an all-hands climate solution in the infrastructure bill, knowing that reconciliation will narrow our path. It’s hard, but there’s no other way. — PolitiTweet.org

@FCDOPeterAbbott We would be happy to have you, no grudges held. :-) — PolitiTweet.org

Adding conspiracy counts to charges against people who were there 1/6 is not the same thing as investigating who was behind the rally and the riot.    https://t.co/yxkyrtxN1f — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch slyly smiling as bipartisanship detour gobbles up precious time; plus we don’t have 10 Republicans (or more, so no ‘swing vote’), another process; plus expect Mitch to spin out Floor process. ‘Bipartisanship theater’ while Americans need results. https://t.co/z8Bv1nRMOi — PolitiTweet.org

The Gaspee Days Parade is back! It was great to participate in this annual Rhode Island tradition and commemorate the burning of the HMS Gaspee in 1772, spurring our nation on toward independence from Britain. https://t.co/Wao7QAwcfq — PolitiTweet.org

Our health insurance system leaves too many behind. We ought to pass a public option for the ACA to provide quality, affordable coverage no matter where you live in this country. I've stood for this for over a decade, and I’m determined to see it through. — PolitiTweet.org

Where was Wray in all this? He stonewalled us on Kavanaugh investigation. He blocked answers to Democrats. He speedlaned info to Republicans. He shifted the focus off domestic terrorism investigations.  And now this.  https://t.co/2qpeENmPie — PolitiTweet.org

If we all keep up the pressure, we can make Corporate America care about climate. That means using their massive influence in Congress and quitting groups like @USChamber that oppose serious climate action. — PolitiTweet.org

If the reconciliation track stays real, it matters less what is bipartisan. If Rs want to share credit & get some of their infrastructure stuff in, no biggie — all good. If this handcuffs reconciliation, however, don’t expect other Democrats to play nice. https://t.co/4KAwUgWiQd — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, Republicans (who defend the rich paying lower tax rates) are more concerned that this information got out than by a tax code that lets the rich pay shockingly low tax rates. Guess whose side they’re on. https://t.co/T4x05sXAXl — PolitiTweet.org

I know of zero people who saw the bipartisan infrastructure excursion as the vehicle for anything serious on climate. Unfortunately, the grip of the fossil fuel political apparatus on the Republican Party is too strong for that. — PolitiTweet.org

I will take these publicity stunts more seriously when they switch on their hugely powerful political apparatus to press for bold climate action in Congress. Sick to death of CEOs saying one thing while their political apparatus does another. Cut the crap. https://t.co/m3eh6LKvU1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We need a big climate bill -- & fast -- to stay in nature’s 1.5 degrees C safe zone. “CES only” crowd needs to prove that gets us under 1.5, & justify cost per avoided ton. CES is important part but not enough on its own, IMO. We need to throw everything we can at the problem. — PolitiTweet.org
