The ACA is the law of the land. It’s working in #RhodeIsland and nationwide. The #Trump administration ought to accept its duty to defend it. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

What does that mean for the American people? ❌ No more Medicaid expansion, ❌ No more guaranteed coverage for mental health and maternity care, and ❌ No more financial assistance to help people afford coverage. Just to name a few. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Another day. Another attempt by the Trump administration to repeal the #ACA. After Rs campaigned on protecting the ACA’s pre-existing condition coverage, the administration has now taken the position that the entire ACA — preexisting condition protections and all — should go. — PolitiTweet.org

If you want to get angry, read this scientists’ brief about the long and persistent effort by oil companies to mislead the public. The companies made their own decisions based on the same #climate science they were publicly disparaging. https://t.co/J606iEshkT — PolitiTweet.org

The bipartisan #RIMEAct will give manufacturers a new tool to succeed by allowing retiring employees the chance to train new hires. Thanks @ritextiles, @Polaris_mep, and @ricomposites for joining today’s announcement at North East Knitting in Pawtucket. https://t.co/8vw8saXrDs — PolitiTweet.org

#RhodeIsland has a rich history of manufacturing excellence dating back to the start of the Industrial Revolution. That’s why I’m proud to introduce the Retain Innovation and Manufacturing Excellence Act with Senator @JimInhofe. https://t.co/I5OJeSDCkx — PolitiTweet.org

After all the indictments and guilty pleas and prison terms, #Mueller probe is still called a “witch hunt” with “nothing to show for it.” This is what @realDonaldTrump does to #Republicans. https://t.co/8YUcedFeCo — PolitiTweet.org

As to obstruction, #Mueller did not exonerate the President, and left the decision whether to charge an offense to the AG, a decision which he appears to have made with astonishing speed. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

As the AG writes, Mueller issued thousands of subpoenas, interviewed scores of witnesses, executed hundreds of search warrants, and collected massive quantities of documentation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We knew from his confirmation hearing that Attorney General Barr would never conclude the president obstructed justice, which is why it is critical for Congress to see the full #Muellerreport and the evidence behind it. https://t.co/eyPdt2xAZb — PolitiTweet.org

30 years ago today, the #ExxonValdez spill wreaked havoc along Alaska's coastline. The lasting effects of that disaster remind us what's at stake as the Trump administration attempts to open more of our oceans to offshore drilling. Not on my watch. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

If these companies sincerely wanted to come clean, they should cut off all funding to groups like the @USChamber, until those groups support #climateaction and disclose all their fossil fuel donors. Fat chance. So convenient to have it both ways. https://t.co/bz6FNVWYUh — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

From my seat in the Senate, I still see relentless political opposition to #climateaction by these companies’ front groups, the true dimensions of which are hard to determine because of the #darkmoney funding climate denial and political opposition. https://t.co/BjoUIuT9f1 — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the 9th Anniversary of the #ACA. Proud that it has led to more RhodeIslanders than ever with health insurance, and guaranteed everyone with a pre-existing condition can #GetCovered. But the work continues to ensure every RIer has quality coverage they can afford. — PolitiTweet.org

#MuellerReport: Gotta say, I’m mystified Ukraine/Russia Republican platform change has not come up. Manafort entwined in change, and Trump campaign, and pro-Russia Ukrainian oligarchs; and owed big money, and got weird loans. Very hard to believe all legit. — PolitiTweet.org
