Every year that goes by without action on climate is another step closer to catastrophe. — PolitiTweet.org

Little by little in the Senate, we've improved COVID precautions, but it took until very recently for Mitch to stop his Republican caucus from meeting in person for lunch. It's a difficult situation & what's driving it is a right-wing narrative that is disassociated from science. — PolitiTweet.org

The fossil fuel industry again rears its ugly head. Quite a letter https://t.co/kzMqd0JfGP — PolitiTweet.org

Darned well better! Paris is ‘your father’s Oldsmobile’ — kind of a clunker when new, obsolete now. Huge upgrade needed in Glasgow 2021. https://t.co/cJ1cUxLFuM — PolitiTweet.org

Ahead of @COP26, I’m sharing the climate action I hope for in the future. Share your climate goals with me below. #COP26Ambition #TogetherForOurPlanet https://t.co/j1km4ANjrb — PolitiTweet.org

#ACA open enrollment period has begun. I was honored to join health care advocate @morethanmySLE to encourage everyone to please, please #GetCovered Rhode Islanders: go to https://t.co/E8dX9t6hwe by January 23rd to sign up or renew your plan. https://t.co/7JaHVnXfbC — PolitiTweet.org

Also Exxon keeps trying to undermine important rules for the 45Q tax credit supporting carbon capture. Something really doesn't add up. https://t.co/MIa045gzHP — PolitiTweet.org

.@exxonmobil told its shareholders carbon capture would be huge; now it tanks its own. Something is not adding up. From @climate. https://t.co/zkpvMqHXQ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Exciting progress at @401TechBridge. This project will be a big deal for Rhode Island’s manufacturers and create new, good paying jobs. I’ve been proud to work with everyone who’s made this project happen. — PolitiTweet.org

The rights of a plaintiff to discovery (documents, depositions, interrogatories, etc.) into an alleged conspiracy could yield some fascinating materials. I can hardly wait. https://t.co/ggVwpb0FaQ — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Same games-playing that has a dozen conservative amici show up in Supreme Court without disclosing common funding — pantomime political litigation. Where, oh where, is Rule 11? And will SCOTUS ever care? https://t.co/NiLiDSzm8k — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

And, as always, thank you to my wonderful colleagues @JimLangevin @davidcicilline for making this a House priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I am so glad that we can offer a measure of comfort and support to Americans facing this diagnosis. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

YES! The House has passed my bipartisan ALS bill with @SenTomCotton, which means it now heads to the president’s desk to be signed into law. A huge thank you to groups like @iamalsorg @alsassociation @alsa_ri who supported this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I was thrilled to be on, thank you! I’m not one to turn down the opportunity to shine a light on dark money groups like @FedSoc. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We need to develop new low-carbon fuels to power our economy in a sustainable way. That’s why @SenToddYoung and I introduced a bipartisan hydrogen-based energy incentive as a way to drive innovation, reduce emissions, and create green jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

.@USGAO just released a new report on serious problems with the way we fund & manage the national air quality monitoring system, which tracks dangerous air pollution. The consequences hit people of color & low-income Americans hard. We’ve got to fix this. https://t.co/67p2Iwkeok — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I’m very glad that National Guard assistance has been extended through March 2021. The Guard has played a critical role in testing, building field hospitals, surge staffing and deploying PPE equipment. We need their help now more than ever to keep Rhode Islanders safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

If this lawsuit is “less about achieving the relief Plaintiffs seek ... and more about ... people’s faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government,” is that not Rule 11 (i.e. sanctions) territory? https://t.co/4jnNqQ1hvH — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Agreed. @RWalensky is a tremendous pick to lead @CDCgov. There’s a theme to Biden’s health team: experience, diligence, and a commitment to the science. What a relief after four long years. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Sorry this takes @JGrybowski from RI, but happy for him. Deepwater was a great accomplishment for him, Grover Fugate formerly of @RI_CRMC and Jenn McCann of @URIGSO. https://t.co/kP1ZyJUGGv — PolitiTweet.org

Every year on the anniversary of #PearlHarbor, I think of the late Rhode Islander Ray Haerry who survived the attack on the @USSArizona. Thank you to all the men and women who served our country in #WWII. We remember. — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to having a qualified and knowledgeable public servant leading HHS during a pandemic. Congratulations, @AGBecerra! — PolitiTweet.org

Long article but agreed we have to hustle, flood the zone and outwork them, beginning with deck-clearing Mother Of All Executive Orders. https://t.co/wblGn6sj5g — PolitiTweet.org

Sad but typical that United States not a part of this. Biden administration can’t come soon enough. https://t.co/eskbbrCmYT — PolitiTweet.org
