Justice Thomas made it crystal clear: he wants to overturn the Court’s decisions protecting the rights to contraception, same-sex marriage, and same-sex intimacy. Expect to see conservative activists leap at this invitation. https://t.co/eMcVyaZz7k — PolitiTweet.org

And this right-wing project is not limited to abortion. The FedSoc Six are paving the way to roll back more constitutional rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what Republicans will target next: a. Republicans in Congress are talking about a national abortion ban b. Also on the agenda is prosecuting women for getting an abortion (or trying to) c. They’ll try to ban women from traveling to other states to get reproductive care — PolitiTweet.org

And it won’t stop there. We already know that states like Texas will even come after anyone who helps another person get an abortion, whether that’s donating to a GoFundMe or driving them in an Uber. — PolitiTweet.org

Abortion is now banned, or will be almost immediately, in 13 states with “trigger” bans, and 13 more states are poised to follow suit. These bans mean providing abortion care is now criminalized, with harsh penalties or imprisonment for doctors and medical professionals. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is a sad, dark day for women everywhere. Now that we’ve had some time to go through it, here’s what today’s decision means for Americans right now: — PolitiTweet.org

On the way there, they were at best dishonorable and misleading to the Judiciary Committee about “settled law.” Seems like they had their fingers crossed behind their backs as they awaited their moment to have the votes for this judicial coup. — PolitiTweet.org

15 justices over five decades supported women’s right to make private decisions about child-bearing; these six planted right-wingers smugly cast all that aside. — PolitiTweet.org

Legitimacy of Supreme Court continues to crash. It’s a captured court, whose radical decisions upend the law to help big donors who packed it. — PolitiTweet.org

Horrifying decision by the Federalist Society justices actually undoing a constitutional right women have relied on for decades. They prefer state legislatures making these intimate decisions for women. I trust women to make the decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of American children are excited for summer vacation, but an end to school can also mean an end to regular, nutritious meals. I pushed to extend child nutrition waivers to keep kids healthy, and I’m pleased to see this critical relief pass the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

In a few minutes, I’ll be joining @Lawrence to discuss the Jeffrey Clark raid and the January 6th investigation. Tune in soon! — PolitiTweet.org

The Supreme Court can either push far-right legal doctrines or deliver justice for the American people. It cannot do both. — PolitiTweet.org

As predicted, here it comes. No insurance, no mortgage; no mortgage, no buyer; no buyer, no value — this is why Freddie Mac warned of coastal property value crash. https://t.co/4Hl183z6VL — PolitiTweet.org

Nice to see this investigative step: Trump, Clark and "false electors" all targeted Georgia. It looks like the pieces are coming together. https://t.co/CUkxWfMMAx — PolitiTweet.org

Remember that the theory the NRA-supported justices have embraced was described by a former Supreme Court Chief Justice as a “fraud on the public.” — PolitiTweet.org

Now, my colleagues and I are fighting to strengthen this crucial program with the Pell Grant Preservation and Expansion Act. Let’s get it done and give more students a chance to succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

For 50 years, Pell Grants have helped Americans afford college and build better lives for themselves and their families. Rhode Island’s Sen. Claiborne Pell led the charge, connecting millions to higher education. Today, we celebrate his important legacy. #PellTurns50 — PolitiTweet.org

The ultimate goal of that project is to eviscerate even the most modest & necessary gun-safety measures, and today’s decision brought them a step closer. Now, more deadly weapons will flow into communities that have taken sensible steps to protect their citizens from violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The NRA, gun manufacturers, and their dark-money allies have spearheaded a "project" to wipe all commonsense gun safety laws off the books. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The Court That Dark Money Built just handed a massive win to a gun industry that drives horrific violence in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

SCOTUS gun decision is out and gave the gun lobby just what it paid for when its dark money stacked the Court. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time to end their money-grab and put working Americans first. — PolitiTweet.org

Oil companies are bragging to shareholders about their extra cash. CEO pay is surging. Corporations are raising your prices to boost their own profits. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a shot in reconciliation to pass a serious climate bill, and we should make a carbon border adjustment a central component of that bill. It is win-win-win. https://t.co/LEfpsANNF2 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I have a plan to drive down carbon pollution worldwide and help re-shore American manufacturing. Heading to the Senate Floor to share it now. — PolitiTweet.org
