The President has said “Don’t tell me your values. Show me your budget, and I’ll tell you your values.” Republicans have made their values clear: They value the well-off and the well connected. Democrats have nothing to hide, and that's just what you’ll see in @POTUS' budget. — PolitiTweet.org

The officers who served on that day, along with the families of those we lost, deserve peace. Peace that Tucker Carlson will never allow them. Fox News and Rupert Murdoch must put an end to the endless stream of lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

My Republican colleagues know it was a lie. I was there and saw firsthand their panic and their anger. There were calls to have the marauders (sorry, “peaceful sightseers”) shot. Yet now, no Republican will push back against Fox News’ lying. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

While spewing misinformation, the talking heads at Fox News privately acknowledged the Big Lie as just that — a lie. They “live in fear that the audience will turn on them unless they tell viewers exactly what they want to hear.” https://t.co/FzkjirZEAI — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve all seen the horrible videos and images from that day. We know that supporters of the former president attacked police, ransacked our nation's Capitol, and called for the assassinations of Congressional leadership. Tucker Carlson’s lies are dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Trump’s toxic lies—backed by right-wing dark money groups—fomented an insurrection against the United States. Now, Tucker Carlson is using cherry-picked footage to bolster his phony claim that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was nothing more than a “peaceful sightseeing tour." — PolitiTweet.org

This idea is bipartisan in the Senate, too, as Senator Graham made clear in comments at the Munich Security Conference. It’s a security win, an environmental win, and a business and jobs win. https://t.co/rFXmHurbtp — PolitiTweet.org

I’d love to have Democrats give this more attention. The SCOTUS commission was no help; it took two dissenting members to get the story out. https://t.co/BhfTDpbAEb — PolitiTweet.org

Walgreens is denying women a safe and legal drug at the request of anti-abortion extremists at the Republican Attorneys General Association, which Walgreens has funded. RAGA’s dark money arm helped turn people out for the January 6th insurrection BTW. https://t.co/LyQEjpB5sk — PolitiTweet.org

At last, the high seas treaty would allow protection of open oceans outside national jurisdiction, where some of the worst and most rapacious destruction takes place. https://t.co/cNAPpAR63j — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change poses an enormous financial risk to publicly traded companies. The SEC needs to resist fossil fuel lobbying and hold its ground to protect investors and the broader economy from potentially massive fallout. https://t.co/EXsZe3SuuZ — PolitiTweet.org

Climate pollution short version: energy sector methane emissions rose again in 2022 (to nearly 135 million tons). We continue to suck at enforcement and industry pollutes carefree. https://t.co/rB1mRWkOvW — PolitiTweet.org

Increasing access to affordable child care would help to keep the youngest Rhode Islanders on track for success while strengthening our economy. @GovDanMckee and I are pushing for a robust federal investment in these essential programs. https://t.co/kVe6LFOSIe — PolitiTweet.org

For decades, billionaires have been getting richer and richer at the expense of the middle class. Last week, I helped reintroduce the #PROAct because expanding workers' rights to unionize is one of the best ways to create well-paying, family-supporting jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

The problems @wpri12’s Losing Ground highlighted aren’t unique to Warwick. Coastal communities are facing rising waters and rising costs. That’s why I led a @SenateBudget hearing about the physical and economic toll of coastal flooding from climate change. https://t.co/lcnklg8VEQ — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP invents culture-war provocations that drive clicks, and so-called “woke capitalism” is part of that. ESG is just the latest target, but don’t forget: the woke screen is a smoke screen. https://t.co/2UKczUT00Q — PolitiTweet.org
