Using lies and corruption the way they deliberately do in a massive political covert operation, it could be called much worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to Norwegian asset manager @storebrand_no for dumping Exxon and Chevron over their campaign of climate denial and political obstruction, calling it “unacceptable.” https://t.co/eg9hXv4jKH — PolitiTweet.org

.@johnpodesta is right, but the problem is that if Republicans stopped denying climate change their fossil fuel money would dry up, and it’s probably the majority of the party’s funding and a huge majority of its secret funding. https://t.co/FsJk82Zfvr — PolitiTweet.org

The @USDA is refusing to take simple steps to help parents get the meals that millions of their kids rely on. That’s plain wrong. We need to ensure that no child goes hungry. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only a former FBI agent, our former FBI agent; Mike worked in R.I. when I was US Attorney, returned from dangerous tours undercover in right-wing militias. Good man. https://t.co/X0sgsY0joW — PolitiTweet.org

In Rhode Island, we owe a lot to our police and community leaders, who over years together of work, caring and cooperation have put us in such a good place for the tasks ahead. https://t.co/PW3uAUslsb — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration continues to attack the independence of our immigration courts. First Trump packed the courts with far-right judges; now he’s overhauling rules to speed up deportations without meaningful review. — PolitiTweet.org

For Congress to properly allocate funding and resources to fight COVID-19, we have to listen to the people on the frontlines. I spoke with Rhode Island’s Dr. @meganranney about what she’s been seeing, the continuing need for #PPE, and what we’ve learned about this disease. https://t.co/1WlAFbxpnw — PolitiTweet.org

Well, well, well — looks like The Fossil Fuel Tool is breaking away from its handlers, and they are ANGRY!!! https://t.co/gkGOY30aOq — PolitiTweet.org

While Mitch keeps the Senate closed down, covid and economic troubles continue. It’s time he lifted his freeze on the Senate. Bring us back to D.C. to pass another coronavirus relief bill. Americans can’t afford to wait. #FundtheFrontLines — PolitiTweet.org

.@billmckibben: “In many ways, the most interesting reading begins on Page 199, where Sheldon Whitehouse, of Rhode Island, and others collate all the known data about the political-influence-buying of the fossil-fuel industry.” https://t.co/4j98oyik4e — PolitiTweet.org

NO: fossil fuel dark money still stops our progress in Congress, using the Republican Party and trade groups like Chamber of Commerce. — PolitiTweet.org

YES: “huge majorities of Americans believ[e] that climate change is real and a threat, and passion about the issue is at an all-time high”! https://t.co/mRMDFspQh8 — PolitiTweet.org

Good read from @RIMonthly on how quahoggers are preparing for the future of a great RI industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Another way to up the salience would be to talk about the climate denial scheme funded by the fossil fuel industry. Everybody likes a good detective story. And there’s a true villain in the piece. https://t.co/zYahjnpLbe — PolitiTweet.org

"Perhaps the most important issue in the future is therefore our ability to efficiently take action on climate change.” Amen. (I must confess: I’m very partial to one author.) — PolitiTweet.org

My heart goes out to Jacob Blake and his family. We have a long way to go in addressing racial injustice in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a responsibility to protect the future of our children & grandchildren. We owe it to them to stop ignoring this crisis and to pass meaningful climate legislation. @SenDemsClimate's #CaseForClimateAction shows how to meet this challenge. Read it here: — PolitiTweet.org

The House already passed a bill to #SaveThePostOffice from Trump administration sabotage. I'm with @APWUNational Local #387 at the Corliss St. Post Office & we're calling on Ldr McConnell to bring up the bill for a vote in the Senate & restore the mail service that RI'ers rely on https://t.co/Y9761JIUBI — PolitiTweet.org
