Bruce’s knowledge and leadership skills over the past eight years have helped further elevate @URIGSO as a leader in its field. His work to secure the new Regional Class Research Vessel was a first-rate accomplishment. — PolitiTweet.org

We need every Rhode Islander to fill out the Census. The results will determine how much federal funding goes into RI’s schools, health care system, and infrastructure for years to come. If you haven’t yet, please take just a few minutes to #GetCounted. https://t.co/stOsfZi6dV — PolitiTweet.org

Well deserved prize! Bravo, guys. Keep it up. https://t.co/L85dCQhTkZ — PolitiTweet.org

Of course it’s about outcomes — the last few decisions notwithstanding, we’re over 80 5-4 partisan decisions by the Roberts Five giving wins to big Republican donor interests. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The overlooked piece here is all the dark money behind Mr. Leo and Ms. Severino. Nor is it noted that they say it’s not about outcomes but the whole story is about outcomes. https://t.co/fGGIbmJ5IK — PolitiTweet.org

When do you suppose Texas delegation in Senate will start giving a red hot damn about this? (Hint: Fixing it requires crossing the fossil fuel industry.) https://t.co/Dx01VGs6Tm — PolitiTweet.org

This is good news. Mitch’s corporate negligence amnesty scheme had little to do with covid and much to do with donor maintenance. Stupid fight for Republicans to wreck the economy over. https://t.co/h5sQIuABVV — PolitiTweet.org

.@APIenergy, a trade association representing big oil & gas companies, has the slogan “We’re on it.” That’s a lie unless they mean on blocking all climate action in Congress. That unfortunately they are on, to the tune of millions in lobbying dollars. #TradeUp — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell has squandered two and a half months. Now, with millions of Americans pushed to the financial brink, Republicans have hastily slapped together another corporate welfare proposal that falls far short. https://t.co/FsVypRxUi7 — PolitiTweet.org

While The Federalist Society is trending, I’ll remind everyone that this is a group funded by dark money that has captured our judicial nomination process on behalf of their rich donors. Sorry, too late to get off the Trump train now. https://t.co/IMTNhLn9Mi — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans: lead, follow, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY! — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Republicans won’t lead (9 weeks of delay); they won’t follow (Pelosi set good example with HEROES Act); and they won’t get out of the way, creating this Trump/McConnell fiasco. https://t.co/UfXkHU5gsK — PolitiTweet.org

I’d add “don’t-look-behind-the-curtain-ism” (aka simple laziness, often) skewing press to overlook that climate denial is fake, propped up by phony front groups and fossil fuel money. That takes some effort to dig out, and so is often ignored when it’s the key salient fact. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Good review of Professor Wetts’s @BrownUniversity study on how “both-sides-ism” skewed major media climate coverage in favor of climate deniers. https://t.co/KNlJtjHIfM — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, @DavidCicilline, on a terrific hearing! As a lawyer, David knew how to argue and how to prepare, and those skills were on display. Bravo, my friend. https://t.co/GZ1xDY3fqn — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon the Broken Record here: it’s not just the weak job most companies do on sustainability, it’s the crap job they do in advocating for climate legislation. https://t.co/1UkFQO8PUF — PolitiTweet.org

Sandy, thank you for your service. The greatest generation still stands as an example, even as time’s tide sweeps them away from us. God bless those who still stand amongst us. https://t.co/ElaoJRpc4A — PolitiTweet.org

Why Republicans deny climate change. https://t.co/g2jekkKFDh — PolitiTweet.org

Cutting unemployment benefits, negligence amnesty for corporations, FBI building scam — if you guys don’t want to govern, maybe tap out and let us handle covid. https://t.co/zCB9UJnwpn — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Science denial was a weird fringe of flat-earthers, creationists, anti-vaxers, and people wearing tin foil on their heads. Then big industries figured out they could make it a thing. @BBCNews overviews. https://t.co/TnY7SKfwWY — PolitiTweet.org

These bad actors are running a covert operation against their own country. They’d like legal protection around the dark-money bloodflow of that covert op. Packing the Court lets them do it. I wish these were fever dreams, but I think it’s actually situational awareness. — PolitiTweet.org
