So many immigrant workers are on the front lines of the pandemic, but thousands still lack a path to citizenship. Today, Rhode Island's Rose Tilus testified about her role as a nurse & the urgent need to support immigrants seeking permanent legal status. #ImmigrantsAreEssential — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve added lots of jobs, but there’s a long way to go. An important part of that comeback: help workers with childcare & getting kids back to school. That will make a big, big difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Score another one for Rule of Law. Right-wing spins and fancies tend to crash in courtrooms under oath and cross-exam. https://t.co/xSIiQGb5Od — PolitiTweet.org

Having spent his political life rewriting the ground rules of American politics for partisan benefit, Mitch McConnell now says, ‘The Democratic Party wants to rewrite the ground rules of American politics for partisan benefit.’” Oh, please. — PolitiTweet.org

Former IRS Commissioner in hearing suggests $7.5 TRILLION in taxes owed not paid over decade. Same hearing—IRS witness estimates US citizens shelter $2 TRILLION in offshore accounts. That’s not low-income folks, folks. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Typical taxpayers don’t hide money abroad, so the wealthy who cheat are worsening income & wealth inequality. One study estimates that the 1% of taxpayers hide 20% of their income. How did this happen? Republicans slashed the IRS budget, with enforcement hit especially hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @SenJackReed in recommending current Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Cunha to be RI’s next U.S. Attorney. Mr. Cunha has an outstanding track record, and we are confident he would serve Rhode Islanders with distinction. — PolitiTweet.org

Tune in to the @SenateFinance Subcommittee hearing I’m leading on our country’s widening tax gap. We can close this gap between taxes owed & taxes paid & create a fairer tax system by cracking down on offshore tax evasion by the wealthy & corporations. https://t.co/C2lnervvtz — PolitiTweet.org

As GOP tries to starve people back to work at poverty wages, remember how worker wages have fallen behind. https://t.co/kBnhwtGIEb — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty exciting: Today, a Senate committee takes up the #ForThePeople Act, which includes my DISCLOSE Act to banish dark money from our politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Two of those decisions required false fact finding to get where the 5 wanted to go. We just did a hearing on this problem of partisan 5-4 false factfinding. (Hint: appellate courts aren’t supposed to do any fact finding.) https://t.co/6ocSMfXmXz — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The Supreme Court made new voting restrictions possible with a 5-4 partisan decision. & they let unlimited dark money flow into politics. & they okayed partisan gerrymandering. By 5-4 partisan decisions. All their partisan political decisions helped Republican political mischief. — PolitiTweet.org

Great. Will they ask ‘why’? Who was behind all the science denial? How were they paid? What was the motive? Was it a common scheme? https://t.co/A0wI6d9WyJ — PolitiTweet.org

Oh, now they care. This “Biden conversion,” after happily blowing off even measuring their methane leakage under Trump, is hard to take seriously. Shame on them. https://t.co/iVsUSMawPZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to join @RIKidsCount’s annual Factbook launch. This past year has been tough but more help is on the way to RI kids in the form of a newly expanded Child Tax Credit, child care assistance, and a bigger EITC, among lots of other support in the American Rescue Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Lupus is an unpredictable and potentially devastating disease that affects an estimated 1.5 million Americans, including thousands of Rhode Islanders. Together, we can raise awareness, support research, and take steps toward a real cure. #WorldLupusDay — PolitiTweet.org

History: For decades, workers have been doing more work for the same pay. Let’s fix that problem. https://t.co/bmZ4lG9VkC https://t.co/rBU2h07pNR — PolitiTweet.org

Krugman: “When the economy improves hiring gets a bit harder; sometimes you have to attract workers by offering higher wages. And employers experience that as a labor shortage … Employers competing for workers by raising wages isn’t a problem, it’s what we want to see.” — PolitiTweet.org

America is in a clash of civilizations with kleptocrats & kingpins set on exploiting our rule of law & economy. I was proud to pass legislation to stop our foes from using US shell companies to hide their ill-gotten gains, and @malinowski and I want that law implemented swiftly. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s emissions pledge came right on time. Now, Congress needs to pass legislation in line with that pledge. If we fail: “unstoppable” sea level rise. https://t.co/wUvVaHZjfY — PolitiTweet.org
