Personal appreciation to @JimInhofe for coming to the Floor to say kind words after my final speech in my long climate series. That we disagree so completely on the issue makes his personal touch all the more appreciated. A good Senate moment. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot continue to pay women less than men. The #PaycheckFairness Act will strengthen equal pay protections and combat discriminatory practices to help close the gender pay gap. What’s not to like about that? — PolitiTweet.org

If they overlook the dark money problem they might as well throw in the towel now. https://t.co/YbR58fsgyw — PolitiTweet.org

An important point from my last TTWU speech - I’m confident that evidence will reveal that the Trump administration was corrupt on climate issues. Thank goodness we can put this dark period of our history behind us. https://t.co/zr8F9nAxcS — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @POTUS for your nice call on climate. I appreciate scope and breadth of what you’ve already done. Onward! — PolitiTweet.org

We've seen the effects of isolation and stress trigger a heartbreaking surge in overdose deaths in RI during this pandemic. Find out what you can do to help prevent an overdose. — PolitiTweet.org

.@GM committing to exclusively sell zero-emissions vehicles by 2035 and to be carbon neutral by 2040 is a big deal. This is good news for our climate and a smart financial move for the company. Win-win. — PolitiTweet.org

I sincerely hope this helps, but billionaires cooking up global plans in Davos, instead of supporting climate action in the U.S. Congress, has a slightly creepy tinge to it. https://t.co/Ptbuz0nfqR — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @POTUS is taking action to strengthen Medicaid and boost access to care through the Affordable Care Act. Americans deserve quality affordable health care, especially during a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Whitehouse, at least on Time to Wake Up, out. https://t.co/Q30urfF0xm — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Well, at last it’s time to say farewell, to my battered #TimeToWakeUp poster, and to a run of more than 270 climate speeches. The conditions are at last in place for a real solution. Now, it’s time to get to work. https://t.co/BO31I0JxUo — PolitiTweet.org

The January 6 attack was the frightening result of a long campaign to deny Americans the facts they need as citizens. To understand what took place that day, we must investigate and follow the money. My piece in @GlobeOpinion: https://t.co/BXWSPa8I8B — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Today’s #TimeToWakeUp speech will be a little (a lot) different. Check back here around 4:00 pm to find out why. — PolitiTweet.org

Secretive corporate groups (heavy with polluters) have run a covert influence operation using dark money, including influence over last three SCOTUS appointments, and now want SCOTUS to protect their dark money. What could possibly go wrong? https://t.co/g0wt96Aqbw — PolitiTweet.org

Watching Republicans coalesce around Trump now is like watching that Terminator cyborg coalesce after being blasted to smithereens by Arnold. — PolitiTweet.org

This is deadly serious for coastal states, and I am sick to death of Republican colleagues acting as if this isn’t real and urgent. https://t.co/1b7C8MfQNq — PolitiTweet.org

.@GovRaimondo did a great job in Commerce today and got a good bipartisan reception. That will help with smooth swift confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org

Just voted to confirm Secretary of State @ABlinken, a dedicated public servant who knows that American values & interests are best protected when we work with allies around the world. Excited to see State prioritize global climate action, oceans & the fight against kleptocracy! — PolitiTweet.org

It was an honor to join my distinguished senior senator, @SenJackReed, to introduce @GovRaimondo. It will be an enormous win for an Ocean State governor to oversee @NOAA’s work & I’m confident she will carry out @CommerceGov’s mission of promoting a fair & healthy economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Officer Goodman’s quick thinking and brave actions very likely saved lives during the insurrection at the Capitol. On behalf of a grateful nation, it is an honor to recommend Officer Goodman for a Congressional Gold Medal. — PolitiTweet.org

American workers and manufacturers are fighting to stay afloat during the pandemic. Thank you, @POTUS, for acting quickly to help. I hope my Republican colleagues work with us to do more. — PolitiTweet.org

“The Senate is split 50-50, but the 50 Democrats represent more than 41 million more Americans than the 50 Republicans. This is not a good system.” Someone noticed! — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @POTUS. And thank you to all those who serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Department of That Was Then, This Is Now: “Even though the Senate has at various times made purely political decisions in its consideration of Supreme Court nominees, certainly it could not be successfully argued that this is an acceptable practice.” -Mitch McConnell — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This is an excellent piece to which I would only add accountability for the political forces that have covertly tied government up in knots against the will of the public. Dark money has too much control, and has got to go. https://t.co/ilJAerBknq — PolitiTweet.org
