Threat to democracy: “The power to set government policy is becoming increasingly disconnected from public opinion.” And that disconnect is worsened by unlimited dark money. Vote DISCLOSE. https://t.co/FlxuhdgXO1 — PolitiTweet.org

A carbon border adjustment would further boost clean manufacturing here in America and push decarbonization beyond our borders. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm glad to see the Biden administration using the buying power of the federal government to boost domestic clean manufacturing and expand the use of low-carbon materials. That means more jobs & innovation, and less of the carbon pollution that is responsible for climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

SEC should require boards of directors and CEOs to get audited “climate political footprint” of their companies’ PR, lobbying and political activities on climate. That disclosure would make it pretty stark. Huge reputation risk investors should understand. — PolitiTweet.org

Shell: “Please do not give the impression that Shell is willing to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to levels that do not make business sense.” Really. https://t.co/Y4GBFwnKmO — PolitiTweet.org

.@exxonmobil, @Chevron , @Shell, and @TotalEnergies raked in over $50 billion dollars in the second quarter of 2022 – that’s obscene. It’s consumers who foot the bill, so let’s pass my Big Oil Windfall profits clawback to set things right. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Fed up with political dark money? Sick of slime oozing out of your phone and tv screen from phony front groups you’ve never heard of? Done with special interests pulling politicians’ chokechains? Pass my DISCLOSE bill to see who wants to get rid of the damned stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

8. Boils down to this: if Court won’t investigate its own serious, investigatable ethics issues, someone else has to. We can legislate. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
7. So if Roberts can investigate stuff, and has an important question he can investigate, and wants ethics handled within Court, why no Thomas investigation? — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
6. “What Thomas knew and when he knew it” is classic investigative question — pretty easy to find out and document. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
5. Justice Thomas violated Court recusal rules if he knew of his wife’s insurrection activities while voting against House insurrection investigative authority. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
4. A justice potentially violating his ethics obligations in a Supreme Court case is at least as serious as which Court personnel leaked a draft opinion. You’ve got to grant me that. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
3. Example: ethics investigations into Judge Kavanaugh were scrubbed, not because they were done, but because becoming Justice Kavanaugh let him escape from that ethics process. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
2. The Court claims it can take care of itself with regards to ethics investigations, and therefore doesn’t need an enforceable code of ethics, or to have Justices subject to the rules for all other federal judges. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Follow me through this: 1. The Chief Justice has the ability to direct investigations in the Court. He proved this by directing the Alito draft leak investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

The EU is standing up to Big Oil’s grotesque money-grab. Good! Let’s do the same thing here in the states with @RepRoKhanna and my Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
It’s called “due diligence” and it’s a super-basic principle that strip-mall lawyers are held to, let alone White House lawyers. Infuriating. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Unbelievably arrogant and sloppy that these lawyers would not actually check, particularly midst all the Trumpian lying. https://t.co/vybg4byPKn — PolitiTweet.org

Scroll back to the Twenties, imagine as Al Capone the speaker, and you get the idea. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The difference between “rule of law” and “rule of thug” would be demarcated by a meritorious indictment not pursued because the alleged criminal threatened “big problems.” https://t.co/D75aiDctM8 — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Good piece but I’d say that “catering to the interests of fossil fuel companies” somewhat understates the problem. “Acting as agents of” may be more accurate. https://t.co/ABTd9GzXDE — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Here's what I'd say to the Chief Justice, @Lawrence: There's a compelling array of evidence that this Court has been captured by right-wing special interests – and that is the problem. https://t.co/oaNOOd2Fd2 — PolitiTweet.org

Key takeaway: “The truth is that Americans are suffering from high energy costs in large part because of Big Oil, which is making record profits while charging high prices at the pump.” https://t.co/NMgcdWgd4l — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Unfortunately the problem runs deeper than Trump, into the whole creepy Court-capture operation. https://t.co/gDBbxybh98 — PolitiTweet.org

There’s an easy solution to the problem of Trump judges: behave like real judges not Trump judges. — PolitiTweet.org
