Carbon pricing is the “conservative” solution per Milton Friedman and others, and it is the one that can put us on a pathway to safety, but Republicans won’t go there because it actually works so their fossil fuel donors won’t let them. https://t.co/VBiGaPZveK — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil is gouging people at the pump, choosing stock buybacks for their buddies on Wall Street over relief for regular Americans. We need my windfall profits clawback to curb this gross profiteering and put money back into your pocket. https://t.co/erIrx2vwYd — PolitiTweet.org

Guess where the political loyalties will lie when big donors outspend candidates? Citizens count less, and are kept in the dark about donors — not good for America. https://t.co/RpoevMpwYt — PolitiTweet.org

The rest of corporate America is not much better. It has built a massively powerful influence machine around Congress, but has not switched it on to help on climate. Indeed many of its biggest guns are still actively hostile to serious climate legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

As climate impacts spread, as water supplies are imperiled, as the rate of billion-dollar disasters quadruples, as sea levels and health dangers rise — the fossil fuel industry continues to lie, deny and obstruct. https://t.co/hbuyzz2uNd — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what we’re up against. @CocaCola says, “we believe that effective climate solutions will require all of society to be involved including governments, civil society and the private sector,” & then in Congress its @AmeriBev does nothing on climate. The silence is deafening. — PolitiTweet.org

Color me skeptical. From my perch in the Senate, the only corporate effort on climate I see is bad effort. Most trade associations are sitting it out; the behemoth Chamber is against any major bill. https://t.co/oTI0sJAb84 — PolitiTweet.org

When things go wrong — photographs from the climate frontiers. Republicans won’t help because fossil fuel money funds the party. https://t.co/iDLDZlPCka — PolitiTweet.org

And one billion dollars in dark money dropped into Republican Senate races this election bodes ill. Money talks; dark money demands. — PolitiTweet.org

Nice idea, but on climate Republicans listen to big donors (Big Oil) not voters. We’re not holding them back; no Republican has gotten on a serious climate bill since Citizens United corrupted politics. https://t.co/KZHefzkzvi — PolitiTweet.org

Tuesday voting will be driven by one billion dollars in dark money for Republican Senate candidates. That’s not democracy. Let’s pass DISCLOSE and stop this corruption. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
This billionaire-ocracy has to stop. When industries make billions off the donations, it’s worse. And when it’s anonymized so citizens can’t see, it’s worst of all. https://t.co/SQuJJycvxU — PolitiTweet.org

The outdated ritual of ‘falling back’ disrupts our daily routine and darkens our lives – in a very literal sense. The Senate has already passed our bipartisan bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide. We should get this bill to the President’s desk. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
My DISCLOSE Act would shine a light on dark money. Republicans blocked the bill in September, but I will never stop fighting for disclosure. Americans have a right to know who is pouring so much money into swaying their vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Front groups putting on slimy attack ads often pop up right before an election, spending huge sums while evading reporting rules and keeping voters in the dark about who actually paid for the ads. Rs have a billion-dollar firehose at work right now. https://t.co/YiNzrlqZMf — PolitiTweet.org

Election season = gobs of dark money in action right now. Political attack ads are swamping the airwaves, funded by groups with vague, innocuous-sounding names that tend to sound something like “Rhode Islanders for Peace and Puppies and Prosperity.” — PolitiTweet.org

My INFRA law just delivered $82 million to RI for the Newport bridge; next up we need to secure funds for a similar refit of the Mount Hope Bridge. Check out these photos of opening day in 1929, with a big presence of the Wampanoags and Narragansetts. And how about that top hat! https://t.co/s5pxoHKLUu — PolitiTweet.org
