Republicans snuck a $195 billion #MillionairesGiveaway into a pandemic relief bill – even though it did nothing to fight COVID. @RepLloydDoggett & I are introducing legislation to repeal this shameful tax break & ensure that aid goes to Americans in need. https://t.co/CSyLdJqg0N — PolitiTweet.org

If a friend of yours were talking about treating coronavirus with a Lysol injection to the lungs, would you worry about him? https://t.co/ym8jlzMRtJ — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis: “We see these natural tragedies, which are the Earth’s response to our maltreatment.” He added, “We have sinned against the Earth, against our neighbor and, in the end, against the creator.” Time to clean up our act. https://t.co/lrkYNCCuNk — PolitiTweet.org

.@markpatinkin has found his moment chronicling our coronavirus heroes. Another amazing piece — I hope he gets a Pulitzer. https://t.co/kM4IhfuzUU — PolitiTweet.org

Seriously? Mitch McConnell wants to get states to declare bankruptcy? He’d better get economists, the Fed, and Treasury to tell him what that looks like for the economy. https://t.co/pVhfqOy4Mc — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans gave $1.6 million dollars each in tax breaks to a few millionaires in a vital #COVID-19 relief package. That’s 1,300 times what regular Americans are getting with their $1,200 checks. — PolitiTweet.org

What the hell were Republicans thinking jamming through this high-income, big donor, no-link-to-covid giveaway? Follow the money. https://t.co/XQJpsTJnxp — PolitiTweet.org

Why is the AG threatening governors who are fighting to keep their citizens safe from COVID? Is DOJ seriously going to sue states for trying to protect citizens? https://t.co/8IfZmLKzYD — PolitiTweet.org

An Earth hero on Earth Day — thank you, @billmckibben! https://t.co/K5dv6P6a2v — PolitiTweet.org

(PS. Corporate America overall is doing nothing in Congress. Fossil fuel mischief continues; big companies have other things they want, so no climate effort; trade associations up to no good. Net result: corporate America opposed in Congress to climate action. Time to fix that.) — PolitiTweet.org

Corrupting America’s government was nearly as evil as polluting our planet and oceans; it must be stopped. — PolitiTweet.org

We can make an Earth Day promise to reclaim a healthy Earth by reclaiming a healthy politics: expose and throw out the crooked dark money and fake science and phony front group apparatus, and restore democracy that works again. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The fossil fuel industry lives off of a subsidy measured by the International Monetary Fund at north of $600 BILLION per year in the U.S., which gives the industry a massive incentive for corrupting our politics. In Citizens United, the “Roberts Five” gave them the tools. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Bipartisanship on climate stopped dead then, and we lost a decade to fossil fuel fake science, dark money and phony front groups. They built a whole apparatus — the Web of Denial — so they could lie, cheat and bully on an industrial scale. It worked. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Until January 21, 2010 when the infamous 5-4 Citizens United decision presented unlimited political spending, indeed unlimited anonymous political spending, to the fossil fuel industry, which instantly used that new power to corrupt our politics. — PolitiTweet.org

On Earth Day, it’s good to remember that in ‘07, ‘08 and ‘09, we had lots of good bipartisan climate legislation in the Senate and a Republican presidential nominee with a solid climate platform. — PolitiTweet.org

Then a serious carbon price to stop warming (90+% of heat) & acidification (30+% of CO2). — PolitiTweet.org

Remember, Earth Day is Oceans Day too. We can start by passing my marine plastics bill, SOS 2.0; my ocean data bill, Blue Globe; & some real dollars for my oceans/coastal fund, NOCSF. https://t.co/7jrYav8XcB — PolitiTweet.org

When we’re serious, this solutions-modeling tool can help get us to a safe climate. Very few Republicans would even meet with them. We won’t solve climate without breaking the corrupt grip of fossil fuel on that party. (Spoiler: carbon price works.) https://t.co/kFh5uTtIAv — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #EarthDay. Free our globe from fossil fuel corruption. https://t.co/r8SS7h3JCF — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration promised that by March 28th – nearly a month ago – there would be over 27 million coronavirus tests conducted in the U.S. It’s April 21st and we haven’t reached 5 million. Where are the tests? — PolitiTweet.org

If we get serious about renewable energy, we can create millions of good, stable jobs that Americans currently working in oil & gas can transition to. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s be clear here: it’s less that fossil fuel corporations are a “pillar of the economy” than that fossil fuel donors are the central pillar of Republican fundraising; hence the party’s creepy-crawling obedience to fossil fuel interests. https://t.co/DDo8V8MoII — PolitiTweet.org
