Which companies fight climate change? From the Floor of the Senate, I can tell you — as to fighting for a serious climate bill in Congress — the answer is: none. https://t.co/ItU6aQE7G3 — PolitiTweet.org

Barr fired the U.S. Attorney for SDNY Geoffrey Berman. Doesn’t seem to be any reason for it. None was stated. Something weird happened at DOJ – let’s look into that. https://t.co/T1JrmdYZXG — PolitiTweet.org

The Scott bill is not salvageable; McConnell cannot be trusted, can’t resist jamming us, and couldn’t care less about the underlying issue; and we had a Judiciary Committee hearing just last week — what about regular order, or a bipartisan starter bill? https://t.co/0lq754ypLS — PolitiTweet.org

Trump official’s claim that wealth share of top 1% has fallen not accurate according to the Fed. The share of wealth for bottom 50% is up from 1.2% in Q4 2016 to 1.5% in Q4 2019; share of wealth for top 1% up from 31.9% in Q4 2016 to 32.9% in Q4 2019. — PolitiTweet.org

Telehealth use is up 11,000% among Medicare beneficiaries & these services are working well for Rhode Island seniors & their doctors. We should carry forward what we are learning from the ongoing pandemic & make these changes permanent. https://t.co/mgFQUOQxNl — PolitiTweet.org

Judicial nominee Cory Wilson called the Affordable Car Act “illegitimate” & “perverse.” He called the NAACP’s concerns about Voter ID laws “poppycock.” He called groups like the ACLU “rent-a-mobs.” I call him unqualified & will be voting no on his nomination. #StopWilson — PolitiTweet.org

The plot thickens, as the Trump hand seems to emerge from the Barr glove. I hope the US Attorney doesn’t go quietly; there are some legal questions worth testing about judge-appointed US Attorneys, as well as getting to the bottom of this “drug deal.” — PolitiTweet.org

The Barr “drug deal” must have been cooked up fast for them not to think through this stuff before launching their scheme. Odiferous. — PolitiTweet.org

Chairman Graham says he will honor “blue slip” (bravo on that!), which means Sens. Schumer and Gillibrand hold the keys to removal of the SDNY US Attorney. https://t.co/ZEGUjvfgm4 — PolitiTweet.org

And why would Jay Clayton want to be part of this Barr “drug deal”? Not to mention the reaction of the ‘Sovereign District of New York’ to being run by a US Attorney from... New Jersey. Strap in; gonna be quite a ride. — PolitiTweet.org

The Supreme Court rejected President Trump’s attack on #DACA; now it’s time for @senatemajldr McConnell to bring the House-passed DACA bill up for a vote, so we can make protections for dreamers permanent. Call up the bill, Mitch. — PolitiTweet.org
