Great article from @washingtonpost on how my bipartisan anti-doping legislation with @SenatorWicker & the help of @HelsinkiComm will put an end to state-sponsored doping schemes like the one deployed by the Russian government in the 2014 Winter Olympics. https://t.co/O9dDre29xz — PolitiTweet.org

Study shows the boards of top banks swarm with fossil fuel conflicts of interest. No wonder we see so little climate effort in Congress by Wall Street. https://t.co/sfm35mdW0v — PolitiTweet.org

And btw, the Biden tax plan contains key parts of @RepLloydDoggett’s and my No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act. Glad to have the support! — PolitiTweet.org

I’m excited to see the Biden Made in America tax plan. @POTUS is right: we need tax reform that’s fair; that closes loopholes for sending profits overseas; and that ends the needless race to the bottom against other countries. — PolitiTweet.org

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we raise our voices to honor the millions lost and pledge never to forget. As Elie Wiesel said, “Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." #HolocaustRemembranceDay #YomHaShoah — PolitiTweet.org

Americans more than doubled productivity over the last 40 years, helping big business reap huge profits. But raises for workers don't reflect that. Had worker earnings grown as quickly as the productivity of their work, median-income Americans would earn TWICE what they do today. — PolitiTweet.org

The problem with the naked Emperor was not the child who asked why he was wearing no clothes. Yes, it was inconvenient for many when the naked Emperor was called out for his nudity. But it was true; and pretending otherwise is a convenience we cannot afford. — PolitiTweet.org

It is the pep rallies at the Federalist Society, the dark money, the soliciting of cases, the blind eye to the right-wing machinery producing those cases, the disregard for conservative principles when they would block the victories, and on and on... — PolitiTweet.org

The problem, Justice Breyer, is not those who refer to justices by the president or party that appointed them, it is the trail of 80 5-4 partisan decisions by Republican Justices giving victories to big Republican donor interests. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re a fossil fuel company funding Republicans and denying climate change, by all means; if you criticize a Georgia state law suppressing voters, you get this. https://t.co/AiXle5kVMM — PolitiTweet.org

Said: “Corporations will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order.” Not said: ‘We only want right-wing billionaires to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order.’ — PolitiTweet.org

Why we all need to keep an eye on upcoming Supreme Court case @AFPfoundation v. Rodriguez — it’s important that Americans understand what’s at stake. Here’s a little explainer video about what you need to know and why you need to care. https://t.co/hNiIxNXQoW — PolitiTweet.org

The right wing dark-money machine has a recurring strategy of accusing others of what it itself is doing — a rhetoric creating false equivalency. Here they go again. — PolitiTweet.org

This may be the most absurd statement of the year, coming from the chief agent of the corporate right wing’s dark-money covert operation. https://t.co/VthhScI9Lf — PolitiTweet.org
