Lake Mead is at lowest levels since they were filling it up pre-WWII. When will Republicans take this seriously? https://t.co/DBzD5ikckj — PolitiTweet.org

Lake Mead may be drying up but melting ice is pouring billions of gallons into the sea, raising sea levels and flooding our coasts. When will Republicans take this seriously? https://t.co/7LIGyXFwRl — PolitiTweet.org

Trusting Republicans on climate is like trusting the fossil fuel industry on climate, because…well, you get it. https://t.co/6UN9to2KMU — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenJeffMerkley and I agree – dark money has NO place in our democracy. Let’s pass the DISCLOSE Act and make Congress work for voters, not donors https://t.co/4j3UzJA7zn — PolitiTweet.org

And their lobbying groups like the US Chamber of Commerce continue to obstruct laws in Congress that would meet the climate challenge. One face to the public; a very different face to Congress. https://t.co/rYOB1rPn8y — PolitiTweet.org

And their map includes more than jobs. You can check out electricity savings and lives saved by cleaner air, among other benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Good graphic out of Brown on value of renewables, in this case renewables construction jobs by district. It’s an economic win, being blocked by dirty fossil fuel industry politics. https://t.co/rlYk3Si9Px https://t.co/xRP0igen8U — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are beholden to dark money – they HAVE to defend it. But they don’t dare defend it too loudly, because they know it reeks. My DISCLOSE Act is the solution, and I will fight like hell to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Left to fester, dark money will rot the very foundation of our Republic.  Remember, even the Supreme Court justices who signed off on Citizens United conceded dark money was corrupting.  That part was 8-1. — PolitiTweet.org

Behind and beside the violent insurrection attempt, secretive special interests have run a slow-motion campaign to seize government power and remake American law. Right-wing organizations have spent decades undermining our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Dark-money groups funded & organized the rally before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, and perpetuate the Big Lie today. It’s just one piece of a larger insidious operation. — PolitiTweet.org

And the rest of corporate America accommodates or aids fossil fuel political obstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

The fossil fuel industry only thinks of itself, and the Republican Party only thinks of the fossil fuel industry — from whence cometh its dark-money help. — PolitiTweet.org

The purpose is delay; but the lie is that the economic costs of action are worse than the economic costs of delay. Not even close.   https://t.co/SOonCEY4BE — PolitiTweet.org

Anonymous money in politics IS corrupting - even the Supreme Court has acknowledged that. We need to pass my DISCLOSE Act before the damage becomes irreparable. https://t.co/1bvEQnhlbL — PolitiTweet.org

Shocking visual of Monday’s high temps in the US – a swath of triple digits from Mexico to Canada. This is the reality of climate change, and it will only get worse until we actually buckle up and do something. https://t.co/9g6ZZP4bhX — PolitiTweet.org
