This is what happens when you think corporations are people, let them into politics, give them unlimited power, and jam through tax laws written by their lobbyists. https://t.co/znAneDGToO — PolitiTweet.org

The Supreme Court travel disclosures fall woefully short of the transparency Americans deserve from top federal judges who ~ friendly reminder ~ are not subject to ethics rules. Read my full statement ⬇️ https://t.co/J1nfzoSVXS — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, @JimLangevin, who succeeded last night in getting the SEA FUEL Act into the House National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)! The bill is now in base NDAA in both House and Senate (thank you @SenJackReed). Bravo, Jim! This is a good bill and a great step. — PolitiTweet.org

It was actually good news that Pompeo said he’d stop U.S. being the drag on international progress on marine plastic debris. He used strong words. Sadly, it took Agence France Presse to recognize this was news. https://t.co/J3pOG6Zk1i https://t.co/5s3dSWJF1A — PolitiTweet.org

Come on, guys. Still too much secret fossil fuel money funding your organizations? Aren’t you even a little embarrassed? — PolitiTweet.org

And where are #ChamberofCarbon and @ShopFloorNAM, demanding hearings into how these crashes might hurt, say, commerce and manufacturing? Why won’t you listen? You’ve got financial sector members! — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This is like financial crash warning number 30 in the past year, from dozens of not-enviro groups. . . . Why won’t Republicans listen? Come on, guys. Still too much secret fossil fuel money funding the party? Aren’t you even a little embarrassed? https://t.co/oqyRNdaIUe — PolitiTweet.org

Now, at last, Trump has to assert and defend executive privilege, follow the rules, and answer ultimately in court. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

At last, @realDonaldTrump asserts executive privilege. Until now, not one Republican chairman would contest flagrantly phony “non-assertion assertions” of executive privilege. They all just rolled over, every time. — PolitiTweet.org

This ought to be transparent, but donors pay to pick the judges, campaign for them, and instruct them through “amicus” briefs, all in secret. What could possibly go wrong with secret million-dollar donors picking judges? Go get ‘em, Al! — PolitiTweet.org

WATCH: @smithsonian's 3-minute friendly and clear film on the carbon cycle. Very much worth seeing and forwarding around! (Hysterically, it’s being shown in the David H. Koch Gallery at the Smithsonian; he did not get a veto.) https://t.co/zxUauPcWix — PolitiTweet.org

It would be great to get an honest look at how much fossil fuel money each of these front groups takes. Protecting a $650 billion subsidy, the fossil fuel industry has a LOT of money to spread around. — PolitiTweet.org
