We’ll see if they put anything like the effort into this that they put into blocking these same measures for a decade. Talk is cheap. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they did this, but let’s see how many oil-and-gas Senators sign on. https://t.co/icXOnDuOGT — PolitiTweet.org

#NationalMedalofHonorDay is a time to recognize those who have earned the highest military honor our country can bestow. Since the Civil War, 35 of RI’s bravest Soldiers, Sailors & Marines have distinguished themselves through skill and bravery against unbelievable odds. — PolitiTweet.org

Rs tried scissors play: filibuster in committee; cut off meeting w Floor objection. @SenatorDurbin called the roll in last minute and foiled the scheme. After the wreckage of committee rules Rs left, their complaining lacks all credibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Republican filibuster just now against Gupta in Judiciary; preview of filibustering voting rights on Floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Wonderful news! Rhode Island’s Act on Climate bill will ensure that our state has a plan to reduce carbon emissions. Bravo to its sponsors in House and Senate! — PolitiTweet.org

When there’s money to be made, principles and promises are optional. They actually do know better, which makes it worse. https://t.co/banzAalnCu — PolitiTweet.org

The American public is united when it comes to getting dark money out of politics. Whether you’re a Bernie supporter or a Tea Party Republican, you hate the idea that there is big dark money controlling Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Women are paid less for the same work. That’s especially devastating during a public health crisis. The best way to celebrate #EqualPayDay is to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and make the wage gap a thing of the past. — PolitiTweet.org

Even with more than 300K shots in arms, we’re seeing new cases rise in Bristol, East Greenwich, Glocester, Hopkinton, Jamestown, Johnston, Middletown, Newport, North Smithfield, Pawtucket, Smithfield, Tiverton, Warren, West Warwick, Westerly & Woonsocket. https://t.co/n1szh6LUHT — PolitiTweet.org

A billion dollars goes a long way, especially when it’s collected from anonymous donors and laundered through front groups. My DISCLOSE Act will uproot these corrupt networks and help restore faith in our democracy. #ForThePeople https://t.co/DTYB7FDBPV — PolitiTweet.org

European oil cos pull ahead “investing far more in renewable energy, battery storage, electric-vehicle charging points, carbon-capture technology and other decarbonization efforts.” US ones invest in politicians and climate lies, like that will make this go away. — PolitiTweet.org

The CARES Act is an enormous bill providing billions in funding. @RepKatiePorter and I want to make sure that there is proper oversight to ensure the money is used as intended. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only is pretty much every company failing to align capital investments with climate commitments, they pretty much all fail to align their lobbying effort with their climate commitments. https://t.co/ou3ldMy3Z7 — PolitiTweet.org

Look at climate change! There’s no real dispute about the science. We all know what needs to be done. But one big special interest group, the fossil fuel industry, has captured an entire political party. — PolitiTweet.org

This adds to the stalls and coverups over at DOJ that I asked AG Garland about. This won’t be the end of it, I bet. “Don’t look back” is wrong. https://t.co/dHuDHjRH3z — PolitiTweet.org

Discussing this without looking at who funds @RepublicanAGs is like discussing the glove without looking at the hand within it. https://t.co/oQhjaKkfNZ — PolitiTweet.org

My DISCLOSE Act is pretty simple. If you’re spending more than 10,000 dollars in a federal election, you have to disclose your identity to the public. Like I said, pretty simple. Takes less than 280 characters to explain. #ForThePeople — PolitiTweet.org

This groundbreaking legislation survived relentless attacks, and we finally have a chance to build on it with the American Rescue Plan. Happy birthday, ACA! — PolitiTweet.org

11 years ago, we passed the Affordable Care Act to insure millions of Americans, protect individuals with pre-existing conditions, and make preventative care more accessible. — PolitiTweet.org

I second @SenBlumenthal. Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. https://t.co/jkhSVg4Vjn — PolitiTweet.org

We learned of another shooting in America last night. My heart goes out to the victims in Colorado and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

What are the new-age robber barons doing with all their money? We know that some of them set-up fake foundations and fund fake think tanks and go to work in politics hiding behind dark money. — PolitiTweet.org

Clean water supports our cities, sustains our farms, and is vital for healthy ecosystems. As we celebrate #WorldWaterDay, let’s remember that climate change threatens all of this, and that 2.2 billion people around the world lack access to safe drinking water. — PolitiTweet.org

How “reliable” coal failed in Texas. https://t.co/S9wDaxNYRJ — PolitiTweet.org

This is what you get from a party that has become little more than the political wing of the fossil fuel industry. Behind Republican dark money is fossil fuel; the hand in the glove. https://t.co/0j6ROUAb0a — PolitiTweet.org

A shadowy group is fighting DOJ appointees Vanita Gupta and Kristen Clarke. If I were a right-wing special interest, I wouldn’t want two smart, experienced lawyers wielding Justice Department power to defend voting rights either. But for the rest of us, it’s great. — PolitiTweet.org

With a robust community board, well-rooted and well-balanced in RI, and a determined focus on delivery system reform (along the lines of improvements made by Coastal Medical and Integra), this could be a bright new day for RI health care. https://t.co/dvLNIbSqef — PolitiTweet.org
