Investing in climate resilience is good for the planet, good for the economy, and essential to protecting coastal communities. My National Coastal Resilience Fund is helping strengthen RI’s defenses. https://t.co/sD9uN7LEGT — PolitiTweet.org

We don’t have time to fight about climate change down party lines. Young people like my former intern, Chris Bove, are exactly right: the climate crisis mandates a bipartisan approach, and carbon pricing is a great place to start. https://t.co/rymSv2dP4m — PolitiTweet.org

Women are consistently earning less than their male counterparts for the same work. We must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to make sure women receive equal pay for equal work. — PolitiTweet.org

“Standing” hooks right into the Constitution’s “case or controversy” requirement, the main separation-of-powers guardrail around the judiciary—so it’s no small thing when FedSoc justices overlook standing problems to go on a policymaking adventure. https://t.co/6GB7Y9JWx6 — PolitiTweet.org

This is a step backwards. The best way to lower energy prices is to shift to renewables — cheaper in the long run and not subject to Big Oil’s price gouging whims. — PolitiTweet.org

How lies and domination interact: “[B]y repeating obvious falsehoods, [Putin] was reminding the Russian elite, again, that he holds absolute power, he can say whatever he wants, and they have no choice but to pretend to believe him.” https://t.co/r9xNmxiWyE — PolitiTweet.org

.@NaomiOreskes and @ErikMConway have it right. Corporate interests have built the most powerful political influence machinery in American history, and much of it operates for polluters. https://t.co/nyMvxaS483 — PolitiTweet.org

Americans are tired of changing their clocks twice a year. When we spring forward tomorrow, let’s leave that backward tradition in the past. Let’s make Daylight Savings Time permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Everybody is happy. You keep getting heaps of fossil fuel money. Fossil fuel still commandeers your organization, and buys your power and some anonymity. The corralled corporations get their beloved distance. And nothing changes except the PR. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

In the meantime, take all the climate evil the fossil fuel industry pays you to do—briefs, administrative comments, lobbying, political spending (dark and disclosed)—and keep going even while the climate conversation continues, like a highway bypass straight into operations. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Make sure for years nothing good ever comes out of the climate conversation. Feed the corral occasional PR nuggets to distract them from the fact that there is no sincere change, just a spin shift. Keep accepting loads of fossil fuel money; don’t tell them. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Here’s how it seems the Chamber game is played. Take your members who want some distance from your terrible climate behavior and corral them into a “climate conversation” that allows them to say they are working to improve your terrible climate behavior. https://t.co/HK0Wuu8oFj — PolitiTweet.org
