From Jack Smith’s filing: “The severity, range, and democracy-damaging nature of [Trump]’s alleged crimes are unique in American history” — a “private scheme with private actors to achieve a private end: [Trump]’s effort to remain in power by fraud.”

Judge Shopping (verb): manipulating the justice system by filing a lawsuit in a district where your preferred judge will likely hear the case and rule in your favor.

When right-wing interests cherry-pick judges, they cherry-pick your freedoms.

This practice has got to end.

Ominous clouds.

There seems to be an overarching theme here: little evidence that corporate climate promises have any credibility at all. Incentives matter, not “promises” developed in corporate PR departments.

We're glad to see Sheldon Whitehouse & Ed Markey calling out more 'fraudulent lies' & 'deception' from the fossil fuel industry.

TONIGHT: Sheldon Whitehouse joins Lawrence O'Donnell on The #LastWord . Tune in!

PFAS are chemicals found in our water, soil, air, and food.

They're dangerous, and my Administration is addressing them.

The U.S. EPA is issuing the first-ever national standard to address PFAS and delivering $1 billion from my agenda to help states detect and treat this pollutant.

Clean water is a right.

Everyone deserves access to drinking water that is free from harmful forever chemicals.

Glad to see this step by the U.S. EPA.

Newport’s #CliffWalk is a nat’l treasure – an environmental, historical & economic asset for all of RI. Joined Sheldon Whitehouse Congressman Gabe Amo to deliver more than $16M in key fed funds to rescue & restore the Cliff Walk for generations to come.

To give you some perspective on Arizona’s political landscape in 1864:

Arizona wasn't even a state yet; it was still just a territory.

Fewer than 900 people voted in the 1864 election.

All of them men, and all of them white.

This line shouldn't mean the difference between being able to get critical abortion care or not. But that's what the Arizona Supreme Court's decision does, and it's putting women's lives at risk.
