…and more and better cooperation with our international partners to reduce the supply of precursor chemicals used to manufacture illicit drugs, along with tougher sanctions against transnational drug syndicates. — PolitiTweet.org

I also stressed tearing down barriers to treatment, including expanding access to life-saving naloxone & medication-assisted treatment; improving our data collection systems to better understand the effects of our intervention efforts… — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been clear that the plan must include a more coordinated approach to cracking down on transnational criminal organizations, especially the ways in which they launder and protect their ill-gotten gains using U.S. rule of law & financial networks. — PolitiTweet.org

Illicit drugs cause immeasurable pain & loss in our communities. As the Chairman of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control, I’ve pressed for an updated federal plan to tackle them. Yesterday, @ONDCP released one. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Earth Day! We Rhode Islanders are lucky to live in such a beautiful state and it’s up to all of us to do our part to leave it a better place for the next generation. This is our only planet – let’s take care of it. https://t.co/KZJStlvXDq — PolitiTweet.org

If we're going to help Americans with long COVID, we need to speed up research and make sure patients get the disability benefits they need. People deserve answers & support, and I’ll keep pushing for both. — PolitiTweet.org

To preserve this great American experiment, we will need to quickly get out the pruning shears & the weed-whacker, and cut back the corporate influence which has infiltrated Congress and the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Corporations have proven themselves faithless stewards of political power. Greed trumps principle. Corporate power today is a weed that has grown out of control and ruined the garden. — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder if anyone at DOJ will watch this.   https://t.co/gt4cghKeWB — PolitiTweet.org

America is in a death spiral of corporate power deployed — often covertly — to create more corporate power. Corporate power rules. https://t.co/RwBtg2pHe2 — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone wins when electronic health records are easily accessible to different providers. The Rhode Island Quality Institute has made a real difference over the past 2 decades, and I’m pleased to deliver federal funds so that its services can reach more patients. — PolitiTweet.org

Celebrate #NationalParkWeek by visiting Rhode Island’s two beautiful National Parks! The Blackstone River Valley National Historic Park and the Roger Williams National Memorial are only a short drive apart, and always worth the trip. https://t.co/T7r4tuNUYB — PolitiTweet.org

High gas prices are helping Big Oil and hurting working families. @RepRoKhanna and I have a simple solution: return 50% of those excess profits to consumers. Let’s set this right. — PolitiTweet.org

A good reminder from @SenMarkey. The fossil fuel industry keeps on lying about their reckless pollution and endless climate obstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The international dark economy allows oligarchs/kleptocrats, criminals, rogue nations, and terrorists to finance their crimes and stash their pelf behind rule of law protections. Keeping these bad actors out of our financial system is a national security imperative. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @Malinowski: Professor Larry Tribe endorses our proposal to repurpose frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine. We're not going to return… — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are fighting to rid our politics of the dark-money donor influence that Americans hate – to make sure our democracy is for the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I think of his bravery, and I compare Congress cowering before fossil fuel dark money. Pathetic contrast. “There will be a dawn. The night, as you know, is darkest just before the light.” The light can’t come too soon. https://t.co/OQza3ngnXv — PolitiTweet.org

It’s hard to imagine the U.S. returning Russian oligarchs' ill-gotten assets. A half-billion-dollar yacht could rebuild a lot of schools, hospitals & apartment buildings in Ukraine… — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

But don’t overlook that the “tower fell” in 2011, the first year post-Citizens-United of unlimited dark money corroding our politics. It may not be just social media. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Good point: “a small number of jerks” can dominate social media “because nonjerks are easily turned off” by them, thus “public square is governed by mob dynamics.” https://t.co/slGwgZBgxn — PolitiTweet.org

The problem is “alienating progressive Democrats and climate activists”? So lame. Read the IPCC report!! https://t.co/Jvle7hIwGo — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Is it conceivable that the “climate president’s” DOJ has done no due diligence to see if litigation about climate fraud is in order? Debriefed experts? Talked to tobacco case victors? Checked with suing state AGs? Requested documents? https://t.co/A6g3hL1hYT — PolitiTweet.org

The same dark money behind Mitch McConnell’s political operation? — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Jane Mayer skewers the dark-money “slime machine” behind the Republican Party. The question is, who is behind the slime machine? The same dark money that picked Gorsuch, Kavanaugh & Barrett? https://t.co/TEi4cqrisk — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We let this fester because U.S. lawyers, realtors, investment advisors, etc. were making a fortune in this filthy business, so it was a long battle through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Bar Assn, & the NFIB to even clean up shell corps. https://t.co/lc7zjPqsw4 — PolitiTweet.org
