Pathetic "news" coverage: @mmfa has noted that @ABC Nightly News spent more time covering the latest royal baby in a week than it spent on climate change in all of 2018. https://t.co/zyXAo8gLcN — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #WorldOceansDay from here in the Ocean State. As we wrap up #WorldOceansWeek, let’s take a moment to remember how important our beautiful oceans are, the warnings they are sending us, and why we need to protect them. https://t.co/2IwlTaVVyW — PolitiTweet.org

Corporate America starting to get serious about climate exposes a rift between trade groups like @USChamber or @ShopFloorNAM & many (most?) corporate members. I’m glad our “Three Climateers” shine light on the 2 worst obstructors to force them to change their climate denial ways. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

"The ground is shifting beneath the feet of the Chamber of Commerce and its cohort." Indeed. @USChamber and @ShopFloorNAM have obstructed climate action for decades. Time for a reckoning. #ChamberofCarbon https://t.co/kX5KzPjq5u — PolitiTweet.org

We all got to repay Republican donors with the U.S. deficit; Koch brothers grinning all the way to the bank. — PolitiTweet.org

Republican tax cuts a bust? Wake up. Not for the donors, whom the tax cuts repaid, for the money they put into the Republican Party. Buying influence can pay back BIG rewards. https://t.co/NamddKZkYI — PolitiTweet.org

Today I #WearOrange for victims and their families who have suffered as a result of senseless, and preventable, gun violence. We need sensible gun control legislation and we need it now. https://t.co/w7mo5YHIFt — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re trying to understand why the #ChamberofCarbon chumps its corporate members to deliver climate obstruction for the fossil fuel industry, maybe we will find out that it’s the fossil fuel industry picking up the tab for things like the private jet of this lobbyist-king. — PolitiTweet.org

"Americans think 'made-up news' is a bigger problem than climate change" because they’ve heard so much made-up news about climate change. https://t.co/cdLuvExsIB — PolitiTweet.org

No one is safe: "The impact of these risks goes beyond the traditional high emitting sectors of energy, utilities and transportation, and creates opportunities and challenges to ANY company in ANY sector." Emphasis added. — PolitiTweet.org

State Street climate risk analysis: “Economic Risk captures ... reputational risk stemming from a company’s sustainability practices relative to stakeholder expectations.” Like support for climate obstructionists #ChamberofCarbon and @ShopFloorNAM? https://t.co/rsg4r0jmbR — PolitiTweet.org

At the Normandy cemetery met Carl Petersen of Portsmouth RI, with his son, daughter and granddaughter, who came ashore right there 75 years ago. He participated in five landings, in Atlantic and Pacific theatres. Humbling. https://t.co/h76i8ISCdh https://t.co/8sToFOw9zS — PolitiTweet.org

We honor their sacrifices by remaining committed to our democratic ideals—and to the free and peaceful Europe these men, alongside our allies, fought and died for. https://t.co/88zTesnMpg — PolitiTweet.org

I’m thinking today of the young Rhode Islanders – many of them teenagers – who were lost on June 6, 1944, and those who survived and carried the memory of that day with them. https://t.co/BhkhHQ6Qob — PolitiTweet.org

They landed on the beaches of Normandy in the face of withering hostile fire from an entrenched enemy, knowing with certainty that many would not survive. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m introducing the "Buffett Rule" to restore basic fairness to the tax code. Hardworking teachers, nurses, and police officers pay their share in taxes. The wealthiest Americans who benefit the most from our economic system should not be allowed to exploit tax loopholes. https://t.co/22x0Q6hS31 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Time for @USChamber to put its money where its mouth is. They claim to support climate policy, so opposing @realDonaldTrump’s efforts to undermine the National Climate Assessment should be no problem. ...right, guys? …nothing? Prove me wrong. #ChamberofCarbon — PolitiTweet.org

Microcosm of industry approach: publicly try to clean up record of climate denial while still quietly funding and supporting massive climate denial and obstruction through front groups. — PolitiTweet.org

So typical. @Chevron theatrically puts EV chargers in a few gas stations while quietly sending lobbyists to attack EV charging regulation with scam campaign. https://t.co/iEO6udJuR6 — PolitiTweet.org
