Congratulations to CREW for at last prevailing in this case, seeking access to the DOJ/OLC memo advising AG Barr’s public commentary on the Mueller Report. https://t.co/ewqB3SG6IY — PolitiTweet.org

$28 million in one race, much of it in fossil fuel dark money, goes a long way to explaining why Republicans won’t act on climate. https://t.co/5ItpDSKxfL — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @Cranstonpolice and @CCAPORG for letting me tag along to see the Crisis Intervention Team’s work up close. I’m glad to bring more CIT funding to RI to help police officers do their jobs safely and connect the people they serve with mental health and addiction treatment. https://t.co/ubnAy9Hirv — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuel’s little minions doing fossil fuel’s dirty bidding. Republican Party has become the political wing of the fossil fuel industry, thanks to massive fossil fuel industry money. https://t.co/MzhpM8LvlY — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed visiting @universityofri Bay Campus with @MarcParlange and @URIGSO faculty and students to learn about their research. URI is a gem, and I’m proud the $1.5 million funding award I secured for a Blue Tech Center will be a major part of campus revitalization plans. — PolitiTweet.org

Good to have @SenBrianSchatz and @MartinHeinrich by my side fighting for climate action in the Senate. https://t.co/UZCAkORuaC — PolitiTweet.org

My wife Sandra’s graduate thesis was on the interconnections between sand shrimp and winter flounder, an interconnection disrupted by climate change. https://t.co/o9CrjtOafr — PolitiTweet.org

You’ve gotta love climate denier Ebell and dark money front group @ceidotorg trying to call out groups that got climate right. FOXsil Fuel News at its best. https://t.co/EaGj59b2FB — PolitiTweet.org

Bringing down prescription drug costs✅ Cracking down on wealthy tax cheats✅ Driving down the emissions causing the climate crisis✅ As President Biden signs the Inflation Reduction Act, let's celebrate the wins that Democrats came together to deliver for the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

For children, exposure to even the smallest traces of lead can have serious lifelong effects. More than 700 Rhode Island families will be able to get the lead out of their water at no cost thanks to the federal funding @SenJackReed and I secured. https://t.co/jXRz3K5CNp — PolitiTweet.org

“The supreme court, of course, was the biggest prize of all.” Don’t say this is a conservative Court. It’s a captured Court, like a pirate’s prize ship serving the pirates who captured it. https://t.co/HivuOdVA4T — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks so much to @LWVRI @PellCenter @SalveRegina for hosting me tonight to discuss the threat of dark money to our democracy. It was a great crowd. https://t.co/dICI5H6Dcb — PolitiTweet.org

“the affidavit contains, among other critically important and detailed investigative facts: highly sensitive information about witnesses, including witnesses interviewed by the government; specific investigative techniques; — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The government’s argument to protect 6(e) materials confirms federal grand jury activity related to the Mar-a-Lago search. That’s new. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Good news—and the sooner the govt quantifies the harm with updated “social cost of carbon,” the better. Whatever the number is, we know for sure (and courts have said) it isn’t zero. https://t.co/YjRnFjdn6s — PolitiTweet.org

Bipartisanship was killed instantly by fossil fuel threats and $$$$, thanks to Citizens United. https://t.co/EbDE6bSXPK — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Before Citizens United, multiple major bipartisan climate bills in the Senate; John McCain ran for President on a respectable climate platform. After Citizens United, no Republican has signed on to any serious climate bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Climate is a “starkly partisan issue” because a starkly partisan Republican Supreme Court 5-4 gave the fossil fuel industry the power to spend unlimited political money, which quickly became unlimited anonymous political money, which was used to squelch Republicans on climate. — PolitiTweet.org

It was an honor to join the Chief Sachem to celebrate the 347th pow wow of the Narragansett Indian Tribe. https://t.co/Pd3OmiOZPy — PolitiTweet.org

I’d love someone to litigate the claim that Trump “declassified” these documents. Usually you declassify to make things public. Cross-examination would be beautiful. https://t.co/9dsgrr6Yho — PolitiTweet.org

FBI admitted Kavanaugh investigation was a sham — where was Republican outrage? Oh, saved for when FBI got a warrant from a federal judge and actually found what they searched for. Really. — PolitiTweet.org

Social Security turns 87 today! Thanks to this program, millions of American workers have been able to plan for the future & enjoy retirement. I am committed to protecting seniors from benefits cuts and keeping Social Security strong. — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter Four is international agreement and/or carbon border adjustments to bring cheating and polluting countries into line. (Chapters Three and Four can be done together quite nicely.) — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Chapter Three is market correction, to take away fossil’s $600B annual subsidy in U.S. from not paying for pollution costs. Carbon pollution fee does this readily. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Chapter Two is vigorous executive action by the administration, not seen to date. https://t.co/jwnizr7DIY — PolitiTweet.org
