In a strange alliance, Don was the Republican House lead on my ocean plastic waste bills. He got stuff done. RIP, Don, and thank you.    https://t.co/eXlHHexG27 — PolitiTweet.org

St. Joseph’s Day has a special history here in Rhode Island – be sure to line up at our great local bakeries for some zeppole to celebrate the occasion! — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans lobbied the Supreme Court to create loopholes for dark money spending. They'll complain when dark money is turned against them, but they won't lift a finger to stop it – it’s just too useful.   Let's pass my DISCLOSE Act and clean up their mess. — PolitiTweet.org

The American Bar Association has unanimously rated Ketanji Brown Jackson as “well qualified” to serve on the Supreme Court. She has prepared extensively for this moment, and I know her experience will be made evident in these upcoming hearings. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve got to keep oligarchs & criminals out of our financial system. I pushed to increase funding for @USTreasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and I’m glad to see them get a $34 million boost in appropriations – they’ll need more. I’ll keep pushing. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, President Biden signed a budget agreement that drives down expenses for working families and boosts programs that millions of Americans rely on, like Pell Grants and child care. There’s more to do, but this is a win. — PolitiTweet.org

Note the headline, as if the blame did not belong on the fossil fuel industry: https://t.co/ZYbiksYjkw — PolitiTweet.org

We owe so much to our health care workers and teachers. I introduced a pair of bills to honor the contributions of these public servants by helping them to wipe the slate clean of student loan debt. https://t.co/AUJoKXmuJQ — PolitiTweet.org

Bravo Matunuck Oyster Bar making RI proud! https://t.co/pZeCKZNION — PolitiTweet.org

Typical. Right-wing extremists can’t bear a justice they didn’t secretly pick, so the smears fly. https://t.co/f22zQOS1QS — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time for American planning to contemplate the prospect that Ukraine might win outright. Is it a long shot? Probably. But planning should contemplate the possibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking of victory, local militia and Ukrainian army troops just bloodied Russia’s nose protecting the town of Voznesensk. https://t.co/ievKXhZ9A5 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I meant it then, and I mean it now. Ukraine can achieve victory. https://t.co/JjKYwGgNGe — PolitiTweet.org

Look how Big Oil follows “price” up, but not down, with charges at the pump. Note also that “price” is not cost, but driven by foreign cartel decisions. Costs did not spike with “price.” https://t.co/6q5Lli0oxF — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Brown’s own Ashish Jha, and thank you to Jeff Zients for leading us through the teeth of the pandemic to a safer place. https://t.co/gY1k2KQI9P — PolitiTweet.org

Too bad. Some fights are worth having even if you don’t win, so everyone can see what’s going on and who is behind the evildoing. https://t.co/CGTcVOWrNe — PolitiTweet.org

Rule-of-law nations face a difficult challenge in tracking down and seizing Putin & his oligarchs’ dirty assets. I applaud the Biden administration on its leadership in standing up new efforts to hold Putin’s corrupt regime accountable. https://t.co/QjWtjm7UAx — PolitiTweet.org

Fifth Circuit panel blows up Trump judge’s nationwide injunction against “Social Cost of Carbon” analysis. For good reason. https://t.co/AFhuWX2FrU — PolitiTweet.org

In case Koch dark-money obstruction on climate isn’t evil enough, now this. https://t.co/WgWYt8XcLm — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

At some point, do companies in the corral realize they are being had by #ChamberofCarbon? Or are they in on the scam, able to tell folks they’re in the climate conversation, but happily doing nothing at the end of the day? — PolitiTweet.org

We actually win in this contest against China and India; fossil fuel interests are blocking us from a contest we would win economically. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

U.S. needs to keep up here and join the club, and stop listening to fossil fuel interests‘ relentless climate denial and political bullying. A world carbon price is our pathway to climate safety. https://t.co/XJkkOW90P2 — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuel market manipulation is driving up gasoline prices around the world. We need the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax to end Big Oil profiteering and help American consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Putin’s oligarch cronies are complicit in his cruel and savage conduct. Let’s give them a reason to worry by putting bounties on their ill-gotten assets. Through them, we get to him. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The biggest auditioner of all was Brett Kavanaugh. He made clear that he would be on the team of right-wing donors if on the Court. https://t.co/B2aeegqMC7 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be taking part in this live discussion on oligarch asset seizure & financial transparency tomorrow at 11am EST. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We need to start accounting for the fact that Ukraine can achieve victory over Putin. I’m headed to the floor to talk about that now. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you President Biden for decades of leadership on VAWA! https://t.co/tzTyInlSW3 — PolitiTweet.org

If you let that happen, interests that can gin up “controversy” can cause DOJ to flinch, and escape legal accountability. That’s not justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Here’s the test for DOJ: will it avoid doing anything hard or controversial, as proxy for avoiding doing anything political? https://t.co/3mn53gT7uh — PolitiTweet.org
