We can increase Social Security solvency without raising the retirement age on people who have worked hard for 45+ years. If millionaires and billionaires start paying their fair share, we’ll be able to INCREASE benefits AND shore up the program for decades. — PolitiTweet.org

Tens of thousands of Rhode Islanders—and over 40 million Americans—are eligible for relief under @POTUS’s student loan debt forgiveness plan. SCOTUS should reject these overtly political challenges to POTUS's plan and clear the way so borrowers and their families can get relief. — PolitiTweet.org

.@PVDPreservation has started a specialized workforce training program to maintain our capital city’s character and support Rhode Islanders looking to learn in-demand skills and chart a new career path. I was glad to deliver $140K with @SenJackReed to help this program flourish. https://t.co/uLcCy9KIYT — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a sad testament to excessive corporate power over Congress that America has to look to the EU for leadership against plastic pollution. That corporate political power is not in our Constitution; it was created in my lifetime by Republican appointees to the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Mega-donors are spending gobs of dark money to fund voter suppression, climate denial, and tear down consumer protections. I reintroduced my DISCLOSE Act to stop this dark money rot. — PolitiTweet.org

Methane leakage is a major hazard, against which there is no organized effort at enforcement. Unbelievable.      https://t.co/3RVLNeWlIT — PolitiTweet.org

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. My DISCLOSE Act would shine a much-needed light on dark money to clean up our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting. Likely someone was behind Clark‘s letter to upend Georgia’s election, and he got well taken care of by dark money groups. Clark/Perry emails are pertinent. https://t.co/d7ZEyR3tPw — PolitiTweet.org

“Everybody wants to think they’re at the forefront, that they’re the leader,” said Michael F. Sabitoni, the president of the Rhode Island Building and Construction Trades Council. “You can print this: Rhode Island’s the leader.” https://t.co/2oj3v0KF9i — PolitiTweet.org

And I quote: “Fox News stars and executives think their audience is a bunch of half-wits but … live in fear that the audience will turn on them unless they tell viewers exactly what they want to hear” https://t.co/FzkjirZ6La — PolitiTweet.org

Putin made a grave error one year ago when he underestimated the strength and resolve of the Ukrainian people. Until democracy prevails, we will continue to stand with Ukraine in its fight for freedom. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 — PolitiTweet.org

My Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act would claw back excess $$ from the biggest oil giants. https://t.co/HiOYmv6I74 — PolitiTweet.org

One person = one vote. That’s the idea our democracy was founded on, but dark money mega-donors are distorting elections — while hiding in the shadows. It’s time to shine a light and pass my DISCLOSE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

And was it really comped by the owner, or did a third party pick up the tab? Inquiring minds want to know. But no one asks because it’s all secret. — PolitiTweet.org

Gets better. People with interests before the Court pal along on the free secret vacation. Companions also not disclosed. — PolitiTweet.org

3. Justice doesn’t know owner, but owner calls or writes justice “personally” to invite. 4. Justice says that’s personal hospitality and doesn’t have to disclose the gift. Seriously, does the Court want to defend that? — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Here’s what the problem has been: 1. Justice wants fancy vacation. 2. Somebody arranges an invite from a resort owner. — PolitiTweet.org

Social Security is a sacred trust that Americans have paid into over a lifetime of hard work. As long as @SenateDems have anything to say about it, Social Security and Medicare aren’t going anywhere. https://t.co/AvbPPXoi5s — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s take a look at so-called “personal hospitality” at the Supreme Court. https://t.co/uyH49rwkAf — PolitiTweet.org

Tucker Carlson broadcasted lies about election denial to the public while privately condemning the liars in internal messages. What is a proven liar going to do with all those tapes, I wonder?? — PolitiTweet.org

Just like blaming Joe Biden for high gas prices was a fake campaign launched by Big Oil as Putin crossed the border — a campaign we fought back against with our Big Oil windfall clawback bill, and which they later admitted was fake by reporting hundreds of billions excess profit! — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The election’s Big Lie keeps collapsing. First, the FOX News internal communications, now an AG internal report, both belying the false public spin. https://t.co/uzhVU6no5g — PolitiTweet.org
