Peterson Foundation estimates RI ranks fourth for total federal COVID-19 funding per capita to date, at $8,726 per person. When Jim and David get the bill passed this week and Joe Biden signs it, let’s spend it wisely and launch RI into a great summer and future. — PolitiTweet.org

The last administration dealt a deliberate financial blow to hospitals in RI, creating sizable Medicare payment disadvantages against hospitals just over state lines. We were able to fix this injustice, restoring tens of millions of $ to local hospitals. https://t.co/39dUFNEzmw — PolitiTweet.org

Around the world, women deserve to be respected, empowered, and recognized for their achievements. Today, we honor the women leading us to a brighter and more inclusive future. #InternationalWomensDay — PolitiTweet.org

The American Rescue Plan will save lives, sustain businesses, and lift our country out of this crisis. Acting now speeds up the pace of recovery and gets more people back on their feet. — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 1965, John Lewis and fellow Civil Rights heroes withstood bitter violence on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. To honor that memory, we rededicate ourselves to the fight against voter suppression, and pledge to restore and expand the Voting Rights Act. — PolitiTweet.org

I wish @GovDanMcKee the very best as he steps into office at this important time in RI’s history. https://t.co/ePKUeIdXaV — PolitiTweet.org

We passed the American Rescue Plan with strong bipartisan support — at least once you get out of the partisan gravitational pull of Graveyard Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/N0c3jDtVQM — PolitiTweet.org

The coronavirus wreaked havoc on our communities, but the American Rescue Plan will get us through. There’s light at the end of the tunnel for our state. It’s official: help is on the way! — PolitiTweet.org

Help is on the way to Rhode Island. The need right now is enormous, and the American Rescue Plan meets the moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I am proud to stand with Democrats in the House and Senate in support of the American Rescue Plan. It is a far-reaching and long-overdue bill large enough to meet this historic moment and set families, small businesses, and our country on the road to recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

.@ericswalwell sues over insurrection. Not so much fun for “the former guy,” as a real defendant in a real courtroom with a real judge and jury — and discovery and depositions, to boot! Witnesses, at last. — PolitiTweet.org

Telling tale: high costs close coal plant; company tries wind farm substitute; wind proposal denied access to transmission, moves elsewhere; now they’ve got no coal and no wind. Time to wake up. https://t.co/96hWcawwsz — PolitiTweet.org

Need I remind everyone that big companies/trade groups sometimes tell the public one thing, and Congress another?And that Congress is quite expert at sensing what is serious and what is posture? TBD how real the carbon pricing talk is. — PolitiTweet.org

Is there still a center for the press, a wall left to defend? Have Trump fanatics damaged our Republic beyond this repair? It’s worth a try. https://t.co/GRERYGVO1D — PolitiTweet.org

Good news. There've only been about fifty economic crash warnings from major financial companies, mortgage issuers, insurance industry, central banks, Feds, Nobel Prize economists, etc. Nice to see SEC awakening from fossil-fuel-induced slumber. https://t.co/2koTwvkGbY — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, the House passed HR.1, a comprehensive package of pro-democracy reforms. It includes my campaign finance reform bill cracking down on secret spending in federal elections. On to the Senate! #DISCLOSEAct — PolitiTweet.org

Glad the Senate has taken action to further increase the number of people who can get disability benefits immediately after an ALS diagnosis. This step builds on my ALS Disability Insurance Act, which became law late last year. — PolitiTweet.org

If @APIenergy were to put half the effort into this that they put into their decade of dark-money climate denial and obstruction, we may have a chance. Pricing carbon is the most powerful climate action we have available. https://t.co/dN0qaECYy8 — PolitiTweet.org

Time to come together and get this done. Despite broad popularity, including among Republicans, “Graveyard Mitch” is “fighting this in every way that we can.” He can’t tolerate Democratic victories or bipartisanship, so we are where we are. https://t.co/YbH7bTcxMh — PolitiTweet.org

As a coastal state’s Senator, whose state’s very map will have to be redrawn due to fossil-fuel-driven sea level rise, I applaud the Holy Father’s attention to our next “Great Flood.” Thank you, Pope Francis. https://t.co/e5x44c2mxp — PolitiTweet.org

This is good news. Plenty of companies tell shareholders/customers one thing, then say something totally different to Congress. Shine the light. https://t.co/lR51cXTZgj — PolitiTweet.org

Our veterans deserve good jobs, quality health care, and secure housing. We can get them the support they need during the pandemic with the American Rescue Plan, which provides $15 billion to programs supporting veterans and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

It helps having competent leadership. — PolitiTweet.org
