Contrary to what Republicans in Congress say, the only "reform" Social Security needs is expansion. We can do that pretty easily if the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s remember, whichever way Garland chooses to go, the Jan. 6 Committee performed a valuable service laying out a predicate for possible civil cases — provable by preponderance of the evidence, & with discovery under oath — to knock Trump off ballots for fomenting insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org

Poll after poll shows that 80-90% of Americans are sick of dark money and want it out of our politics. Yet my Republican colleagues don’t have much to say about why they oppose my DISCLOSE Act… — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenAmyKlobuchar and I are working together to fight dark money influence and pass the DISCLOSE Act. Glad we had a chance to talk it over (and joke a bit) on @TheLastWord last night. https://t.co/sbgf2i1ZZR — PolitiTweet.org

Nice to see this recognition of the Gaspee Raid printed in the BOSTON! Globe. I’d only add that there’s a strong case that Captain Lindsey of the Hannah led the Gaspee onto the shallows — that this was design not accident. https://t.co/YDHIZzyy47 — PolitiTweet.org

Olin Thompson was a force in the courtroom and in his fight against ALS. Sending my deepest condolences to Christa and their boys. We will keep searching for a cure for this brutal disease. https://t.co/OtvczIvMGo — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden administration can do more on climate, and with legislative options now closed, the President must act. It's time for executive Beast Mode. — PolitiTweet.org

People instinctively know when their voices are being drowned out & big corporations always seem to come out on top. My DISCLOSE Act is the answer. https://t.co/TGWguCXGVC — PolitiTweet.org

Money talks, and dark money whispers. It’s time to get secretive political spending out of our democracy for once and for all. https://t.co/Smk7er4Uon — PolitiTweet.org

Heading to the Senate Rules Committee hearing for my DISCLOSE Act, which would get dark money out of our politics for good. Tune in for my testimony soon. — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t sit back and let clean American manufacturers get undercut by their polluting competitors overseas. With our Clean Competition Act, we can cut carbon pollution and improve American competitiveness. It’s a win-win! https://t.co/oZ8mr3raZy — PolitiTweet.org

Current law isn’t flexible enough to allow us to respond effectively to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but there’s a fix. We can build on the President’s KleptoCapture initiative by passing the bipartisan Asset Seizure for Ukrainian Reconstruction Act & put oligarchs on notice. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Today’s Judiciary hearing keeps the focus on Putin’s oligarchs & their finances. The Russian government is inextricably linked to criminal billionaires, & we must take every opportunity to go after them. Their ill-gotten assets could provide billions in relief for Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Spc. Matthew Turcotte served his nation with bravery and honor, and we lost him long before his time. The Spc. Matthew R. Turcotte Post Office will stand as an enduring reminder of our nation’s gratitude to Spc. Turcotte and his family. https://t.co/XgFWMr4V2N — PolitiTweet.org

Breaking ground on a modernized Airport Connector that will improve the overall experience of flying out of @iflyrhodeisland. Many more job-creating upgrades to RI’s roads, bridges, and airports on the way thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure bill we passed. https://t.co/Y6rxcuXt2p — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats have to get serious about loosening the fossil fuel industry’s choke hold on the Republican party, and corporate America needs to decide if they will get off the sidelines. — PolitiTweet.org

For decades, Roe allowed women to make deeply personal decisions with input from their doctors. Now, the Supreme Court’s radical justices have stripped away those protections and endangered countless lives. https://t.co/fFUO3PzVir — PolitiTweet.org
