Notwithstanding fossil fuel propaganda, huge increase in awareness of climate health dangers.

You're likely worth billions, or planning to be. Don't think we won't remember that you don't want to clean up your own mess. You can afford it. You just don't want to. https://t.co/rkiqbY4xyB

.@acosta looks at where it all began – Rhode Island! https://t.co/UpAd0hKYsA

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

So don’t look at the explanations, a fog of reverse-engineered nonsense to get to a desired result. To understand this Court, you need to ignore the fog and look at the patterns of outcomes — not what they say, what they do.  https://t.co/FvEE1cAoSb

A year ago, Trump signed a law that rips health care away from millions and risks shuttering 300 hospitals… to fund a tax cut for the wealthiest. It’s the most dangerous law in a generation, but we’re fighting daily to pick up the pieces and get relief to hardworking Americans.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Trump destroyed the teams at DOJ dedicated to going after kleptocrats and oligarchs like Putin, right off the bat. It was the first of many favors. Trump/Russia is no hoax. https://t.co/KspmgA2mec

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

And yet he’s pals with Putin. Go figure. https://t.co/3gyjhQcedP

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Nice to see the work under way at Mt. Hope Bridge.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Always a joy marching in the nation’s oldest continuous Fourth of July parade in beautiful Bristol. Happy 250th birthday, America!

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Sometimes you win when you don’t. Little Cape Verde’s performance against Messi and the Argentinian team was one for the ages. Bravo!!

[Congressman Gabe Amo @RepGabeAmo]

Proud to lead legislation with @SenWhitehouse to secure a Congressional Gold Medal for the heroism of our new country’s first integrated military unit, the First Rhode Island Regiment — a truly American story in the fight for freedom.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Nothing to see here, folks. Keep believing fossil fuel.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

New ocean temperature record set as fossil fuel keeps dumping zettajoules (look it up — big-ass number!) of excess heat into the ocean every year. “Nothing to see here,” say the polluters. They lie.
