Why so helpless? The GOP has five political pillars in Washington: @USChamber, @ShopFloorNAM, @APIEnergy, @NFIB, and @FarmBureau. All take fossil fuel money; all oppose climate action. Do the math. #ChamberofCarbon https://t.co/JUoF4vryA7 — PolitiTweet.org

Incredibly powerful to meet with RI ALS advocates & hear the effect this disease has on individuals, families & our communities. I reintroduced the ALS Disability Insurance Access Act to help patients receive the benefits & support they deserve sooner. #ALSAdvocacy #ChallengeMe https://t.co/7JSMEEJn7Z — PolitiTweet.org

Maiden tells the trailblazing story of the first all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race. Well done @NewportFILM on bringing this documentary to RI! https://t.co/PDNyCD5wAT — PolitiTweet.org

Without #NetNeutrality, internet providers can slow down or block the web content you want while favoring other stuff that makes them more money. That’s not fair. Tell @SenateGOP it’s time to vote on the #SaveTheInternetAct to restore net neutrality NOW. https://t.co/tNEj1VkB1c — PolitiTweet.org

Also, it would be nice if he’d actually do something on ocean plastic waste, as it seems always to be the @realDonaldTrump administration holding back international progress. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I’m delighted that Trump’s @EPA Chief says he’s concerned about ocean plastic waste, but would someone please tell him it’s not an either/or thing with climate change? https://t.co/5s4aR5qBex — PolitiTweet.org

This is why fossil-fuel front groups like @USChamber (#ChamberofCarbon) and @ShopFloorNAM that obstruct climate progress are so infuriating. — PolitiTweet.org

25,000 is a lot of families in our small state. This is why we fight climate change, which drives the sea level rise and warming seas that add hurricane danger. https://t.co/e30rMjKgSD — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a dark day when the Senate is unable to pass a bill like The Violence Against Women Act. McConnell’s #LegislativeGraveyard benefits no one. — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump, if you’re serious about giving up your @USChamber membership, you’re welcome to join our #ChamberofCarbon campaign. https://t.co/Req4WSo3PU — PolitiTweet.org

Trump and family in 2009: global warming could be “catastrophic and irreversible.” Trump administration in 2019: can’t use word “catastrophic.” https://t.co/IobBtm3ybN https://t.co/XLcE9xYT0J — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing Papi a speedy recovery! If there’s one person who understands the art of the comeback, it’s @davidortiz. — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe send bill to #ChamberofCarbon which likes big travel costs . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

As @EPA chief, Scott Pruitt improperly spent nearly $124,000 of taxpayer money on lavish travel & accommodations. Americans shouldn’t have to pay for a man who used our environmental agency to protect polluters. He served the fossil fuel industry, they should foot the bill. https://t.co/Vfuw6XlPq8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Worth remembering that Barr auditioned for his job with an unsolicited memo critiquing the Mueller probe. Doesn’t seem like the behavior of a real straight shooter, but maybe that’s just me. https://t.co/RdYAxiFu9n — PolitiTweet.org

People who drink tap water ingest 4,000 plastic particles annually; people who drink bottled water ingest 90,000. (It’s also been found in beer, so no getting out that way.) https://t.co/BcYkpcjR4q — PolitiTweet.org

The total under Chief Justice Roberts is 73 partisan 5-4 decisions for big Republican donor interests. https://t.co/aV0BUz9yL6 — PolitiTweet.org

The whole corporate political apparatus — @USChamber, @ShopFLoorNAM, @APIenergy, @NFIB, and Koch brothers front group @AFPhq — all are relentlessly against climate action. Thanks a bunch, corporate America. Your political hooligans are the problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Thank you, @MikeBloomberg. Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry quietly pays @ShopFloorNAM and #ChamberofCarbon — oops, Commerce — to block needed action in Congress. https://t.co/3wWhGMepwJ — PolitiTweet.org

And it’s backed up by the muscle of the sleazy, dark money Koch political operation, which pays politicians to buy their silence and acquiescence about epic-scale fossil fuel pollution. Rotten to the core, they rot the politicians they fund. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Totally bogus. All this Koch crap begins and ends with climate denial, to protect their license to pollute for free and have us pick up the tab. The rest is all window dressing for suckers. https://t.co/T68DE75wuw — PolitiTweet.org

Celebrating RI's part in sparking the American Revolution. Happy @GaspeeDay! https://t.co/JhQTaCohb7 — PolitiTweet.org

Rather like #ChamberofCarbon, Trump’s push to weaken fuel economy standards was nominally for auto companies but really driven by fossil fuel (@MarathonPetroCo) behind the scenes. When will corporate America wake up to fossil fuel charade? #ChumpedbyCarbon https://t.co/7sNVghyKxr — PolitiTweet.org
