Disgraceful. Not only can we fix this, we can make Social Security and Medicare safe and sound as far as the eye can see.

I’m not surprised that the FTC has found evidence of collusion with the cartel and price-gouging. Congress should pass my windfall profits bill to return Big Oil’s excess gains to the American people’s pockets.

“We have the receipts. We have overwhelming evidence that [the fossil fuel] industry has known since twice my lifetime about the dangers of their products.” Geoffrey Supran to Bernie Sanders

Every kid deserves safe, lead-free water.

Each day we see more of the chaos & cruelty Republican abortion bans are inflicting on women—and everyone should understand that Donald Trump is responsible for this.

Democrats will keep fighting to restore abortion rights nationwide.

Big Oil spent decades hiding their pollution while pocketing obscene profits. We’re paying twice—at the pump and in climate chaos. These documents deliver a message loud and clear: polluters should pay us, not delay us. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…

We want to extend a huge thank you to Sheldon Whitehouse for coming out to #PanCANPurpleStride Rhode Island and showing your support for all those touched by #pancreaticcancer . 💜 We are so grateful for your continued partnership in the halls of Congress as we fight this disease.

Tune in as Senate Budget Committee exposes this decades-long climate deception campaign. 👇

'Big Oil had to evolve from denial to duplicity.'

Sheldon Whitehouse describes the evolving phases of the fossil fuel industry's climate deception:

First they knew. Then they lied. And when they couldn't deny climate change any more, they lied about solutions.

Over two years ago, Oversight Committee Democrats subpoenaed documents from four oil companies and two fossil fuel trade associations about their response to climate change. More than a million pages of those documents were not reviewed. Today's hearing w/ Rep. Jamie Raskin continues that work.

The fossil fuel industry has lied about their role in climate change for far too long.
