@USChamber is America’s largest business lobby, dominant in Republican Party. How will we know when @USChamber is sincere? When Senate Republicans come forward to work on serious climate bill. Until then, window dressing. #ChamberofCarbon — PolitiTweet.org

Is @USChamber’s new and improved rhetoric just windowdressing to quiet members demanding that it stop blocking climate action? I hope members weren’t born last night. #ChamberofCarbon — PolitiTweet.org

“.@SenatorLeahy (D-VT) asked Wray if he would suggest telling the FBI if a foreign actor approached a political campaign. Wray said if any campaign is contacted by a nation-state or someone on behalf of a nation-state, 'then that's something the FBI would want to know about.'" — PolitiTweet.org

After years when inaction was @USChamber top goal, now it wants us to believe it’s sincere that "inaction is not an option." Born at night but not last night. #ChamberofCarbon — PolitiTweet.org

At least with Democratic House we have a formal privilege assertion to deal with, which can be tested in court. Knowing Republicans would never press, #Trump administration got away with bogus non-assertion assertions of executive privilege for too long. https://t.co/HvpeLj8hXX — PolitiTweet.org
