Yuck. Scott Pruitt 2.0. You paid for it, taxpayers. https://t.co/UX1ccomoZJ — PolitiTweet.org

We will never forget the Rhode Islanders we lost on 9/11 and all those who lost loved ones on that terrible day. I am eternally grateful to the first responders who risked their lives to save others. You represent the best of humanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

What the president said about our veterans was shocking, but the silence from his party is heartbreaking. The men and women who gave their lives for this country deserve to be defended. https://t.co/aomdk5zVg1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Republicans have slapped together a woefully inadequate bill, which is one-sixth the size of the aid package House Democrats passed in May. Republicans’ main priority continues to be letting corporations off the hook for negligently putting their employees in harm’s way. — PolitiTweet.org

The list of environmental laws that @NSSGA has lobbied against goes on and on. There is no rollback too egregious, no public health risk too great. It’s all about the profits. #TradeUp — PolitiTweet.org

The rule requiring a court role is a check on prosecutorial abuse, which could include wrongly dropping cases for wrongful purposes. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Seems the donors packing our courts didn’t teach Trump judges about contempt of court, which Judiciary-- not Executive -- enforces to protect its integrity. Or that Flynn has a pretty thin liberty interest when he plead guilty twice to the underlying offenses & is not in custody. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

If you want to read the Flynn case decision, here it is. Strong smackdown of the dissenters; no invective, just calm but firm correction. https://t.co/vAJHMYKeNZ — PolitiTweet.org

Plus financial sector’s own political side ignores all this in Congress, busily fighting instead for more deregulation and tax breaks. To finance people: guys, maybe talk to yourselves? — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Agreeing: most every developed country central bank, several Fed reports, about a thousand leading economists, Freddie Mac, major private banks and investment managers. Fossil fuel industry keeps Republicans on political choke chain, so all gets ignored. — PolitiTweet.org

Economic crisis warning, that “world wracked by frequent and devastating shocks from climate change cannot sustain the fundamental conditions supporting our financial system.” Warnings could not be clearer. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Thanks to @CFTCBehnam and @Blitterman for this excellent and much needed report. It starts by calling on Congress to price carbon. I couldn’t agree more. https://t.co/gXEthxlTIQ — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Lifespan and CNE on this step forward.  There are still ways to get this wrong, but there’s real opportunity here to seize. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We know that big right-wing donors have spent hundreds of millions on a dark money campaign to capture our courts. The president’s Supreme Court list is an effort to harness the political power of that operation to his own electoral benefit. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Proud to join @SenDuckworth and my Democratic colleagues in honoring America’s veterans and those who died in service. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

He knew. He dawdled and denied. Now we are all paying the price. #TrumpKnew — PolitiTweet.org

No limit to the oil-and-gaslighting. For the truth, follow the money. https://t.co/EJUF2M0U0U — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Yuh, clearly Trump was acting in his official capacity as President of the United States when he denied having molested a woman years before he was President. How low will Barr go? https://t.co/sLRKnQtihI — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Look at @USChamber and @APIenergy for where Big Oil really stands — as Chamber CEO said, we’re there to provide cover for our members. Anybody who believes what Big Oil says, I’ve got some land in Florida to sell you. https://t.co/U8IAIMGYdE — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Big donors stay with Trump because he gives them the deregulation, the secret political clout, and the tainted judges that they want. It’s all about the money and power. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Republicans acquiesced to Trump because their operation had already rotted through. Big greedy donor interests called all the real shots, and gave the money to spin phony narratives. It was all a lie. Read my full case: https://t.co/7oLnsogEA7 — PolitiTweet.org

I wish Bob Litterman and Kathryn Murdoch every success in their new roles. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Having worked with Ted from @TheCLCouncil’s outset, his death came as stunning news. Ted died following his passion, and his passion for a climate solution will ultimately be honored with success. https://t.co/HQLVppZp37 — PolitiTweet.org

Important message in @projo from leaders of RI’s Black and Jewish communities. https://t.co/323nNrYNOt — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Too many Rhode Islanders are battling opioid addiction because of Purdue Pharma’s greed & the DOJ’s failure to act. We need to know why. My @guardian op-ed with @SenatorHassan ⬇️ https://t.co/VFvvU3XUnv — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Seems like predication for interviews and document reviews to look at management’s intent — but then, big GOP donor + Barr = fat chance. https://t.co/rhu2fNfy3Y — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This was old-fashioned, corrupt, political muscle at work, with Pence its henchman. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Calling Pence a “skeptic” misframes the story. There was no analysis, there was obedience to a Koch-funded political juggernaut whose priority was protecting the Koch fossil fuel empire. https://t.co/cdT6srTAT0 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #LaborDay! This year, we owe a special thank you to the frontline heroes keeping our country safe and running. I hope everyone celebrates safely. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Well done, Admiral. Wish my colleagues had a spine. — PolitiTweet.org
