The Republican tax scam was cramming two complex, weedy tax provisions worth around $160 billion for millionaires and billionaires deep into the COVID relief bill while Democrats were trying to get aid to people as fast as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

I love meat. But I eat too much of it, and I eat it without thinking. I need to eat meat more like I eat ice cream — a wonderful treat but not my daily diet. Impossible? https://t.co/WvELi9Zfkk — PolitiTweet.org

In February, I warned that @realDonaldTrump is politicizing immigration courts. Last week, a leading official resigned when a former top ICE prosecutor with no judicial experience was appointed as Chief Immigration Judge. Alt. headline: Fox appointed to guard chicken coop. — PolitiTweet.org

If there’s one thing we should learn from the coronavirus, it’s to send to the junkyard the anti-science, anti-government ideology that has flared up in the American right wing aided & abetted by big industries who take advantage of that false ideology. https://t.co/lrRtbJCWHy — PolitiTweet.org

Happy to participate in the 235th Bristol 4th of July Celebration by car today. I’m proud of the many ways Rhode Islanders have adapted to social distancing while maintaining traditions like this one. Happy 4th of July, everyone! https://t.co/3pkjw02N10 — PolitiTweet.org

In case you didn’t get it, this is the image @WSJopinion pollutorial page put up over its editorial earlier this week. With no sense of irony. What’s good for @MarathonPetroCo must be good for America, I guess. What a clown show. https://t.co/INJ6SaRBYs — PolitiTweet.org

When Congress passed the CARES Act, Republicans insisted on jamming in over $160 billion in tax breaks for the rich & corporations. Hedge fund managers & giant corporations can take care of themselves. I’m fighting to support people & businesses facing real financial hardship. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re hard pressed to find the boundary between fossil fuel industry & Republican Party, join the club. Also remember Pruitt letter ghostwritten by Devon Energy; Congressional delegation letters ghostwritten by @MarathonPetroCo. The beat goes on. https://t.co/tsUfbrJUMk — PolitiTweet.org

There is a rotten scheme loose in our country that began with #CitizensUnited. It’s funded by secret special interest money and promoted by fossil fuel & polluter mouthpieces like @WSJopinion. https://t.co/J8bCNi0dDU — PolitiTweet.org

To untangle the dark money web ensnaring our courts, I published an article in @HarvardJOL exploring corporate power and the network of trade associations, think tanks, front groups and political organizations that implement the covert scheme. https://t.co/ZW99PJkFBK — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans snuck tax giveaways for their millionaire & billionaire friends into the last CARES Act. That’s a swindle they must not repeat. I will fight any wasteful corporate tax breaks Republicans try to jam into the next relief bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Two $17+ million anonymous donations funded much of that. We deserve to know who that was and what business they have at the Court. The Judicial Ads Act will give Americans this transparency and accountability. https://t.co/odC2rdp849 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A decades-long effort by corporations & donors to rig the courts using dark money is working; they’ve won over 80 partisan, 5-4 decisions. Part of this scheme is campaign-style advertising by dark-money groups, which we saw used to defeat Garland & confirm Gorsuch & Kavanaugh. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This story proves yet again something unspoken: the right wing wants outcomes from the judges it puts on courts; not principles, outcomes. And there is a huge dark-money operation designed to do exactly that — capture the courts and deliver the outcomes. https://t.co/ET2Zn6SbKZ — PolitiTweet.org
