Republican obstruction of voting rights legislation will be the straw that breaks the filibuster's back. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @RepDebDingell and I are reintroducing the Climate Change Education Act. This bill will help provide our students, teachers, and workforce with the knowledge and skills needed to understand climate change and participate in a clean energy economy. https://t.co/hAx94pEv6w — PolitiTweet.org

The coronavirus pandemic continues to devastate Chelsea, Everett, Methuen, Randolph and other communities of color, and I am pleased that Governor Baker has heeded the Congressional delegation’s calls to target federal aid to these hardest-hit areas. https://t.co/0Lu5lQ0LVA — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @RepZoeLofgren and @RepJoeNeguse for your partnership on this critical legislation that will safeguard our refugee resettlement program and meet the demands of the global refugee crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We are in the midst of a historic, global refugee crisis. The GRACE Act will recommit the U.S. as a beacon of hope to those fleeing violence and persecution, and prevent a U.S. President from setting annual refugee admissions at a level below 125,000. https://t.co/9r4VdEkuq9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In states all across the country, right-wing Republicans are trying to suppress the right to vote and targeting communities of color. The filibuster is critical to their strategy, just like it was in the 1960s against the Civil Rights Movement. We must abolish the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

All Women, on average, have not received equal pay until today, March 24. On average, women are paid just 82 cents for every dollar paid to white men. https://t.co/r3FiHuLfJH — PolitiTweet.org

Asian American and Pacific Islander women did not receive equal pay until March 9. AAPI women are paid just 85 cents for every dollar paid to white men. https://t.co/roOZXP2DPY — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

On Equal Pay Day, women on average have only just been paid as much as men were in 2020. For many women, this won't be true until well into the fall. We must close the racial and gender wage gap and secure equal pay for women now. https://t.co/yUZ4ONxwr1 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must be more ambitious than ever before on vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards. There is only room to go bigger and bolder—we must not compromise on our future. https://t.co/4GGWfU12eI — PolitiTweet.org

The United States stands with the people of Burma. Join me tomorrow as I chair the SFRC Asia Subcommittee’s first hearing of the 117th Congress, on the U.S. Response to the February 1st Coup in Burma: https://t.co/2nz63WX538 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed a resolution on Burma condemning the violence against protesters and including language based on my Rohingya Genocide Determination Act to urge @StateDept to call crimes against the Rohingya by their rightful name: genocide. — PolitiTweet.org

The USPS should not be run by someone who is determined to undermine its mission. These austerity measures are designed to suffocate America's most trusted institution, not save it. To save the Postal Service, we need to fully fund it and DeJoy must go. https://t.co/8Mg76tRsyF — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am inspired by the indomitable leadership of Ms. Opal Lee. Please join @Opalsw2dc and @carmeloanthony today for an important conversation on the movement to make Juneteenth a national holiday. — PolitiTweet.org

As many as 75 billion Internet of Things devices are projected to be in our pockets and homes by 2025. By creating a cybersecurity certification program, my and @RepTedLieu's Cyber Shield Act will give consumers a seal of approval for more secure products. https://t.co/iw0yklWcoJ — PolitiTweet.org

The #ForThePeople Act will strengthen and protect the right to vote for all Americans. 🗳️ Ends dark money and gerrymandering 🗳️ Expands early voting and vote by mail 🗳️ Restricts discriminatory voter purges 🗳️ Ensures that no one has to wait hours and hours to cast their ballot — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must speak in one voice against China’s campaign to deprive its Uyghur and other Central Asian and religious minorities of their fundamental rights. There needs to be an international investigation into the abuses and crimes committed in Xinjiang. https://t.co/IpbyYdqrOf — PolitiTweet.org

Kids’ time online has skyrocketed during the pandemic. I'm reintroducing the Children and Media Research Advancement Act because parents and policymakers need a clear understanding of how technologies and media are affecting young people’s brains. https://t.co/mcKqtIDEWJ — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Nothing has been the same since @RepAOC and I introduced the Green New Deal just two years ago. To transform our economy and put environmental justice front and center, we first had to transform what it meant to solve the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

North Korea’s provocative actions at its border with South Korea and its reported firing of short-range missiles are not the actions of a responsible country. These developments underscore the need for the U.S. and its allies to engage in talks with Pyongyang, without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

It was my honor and pleasure to introduce @SamanthaJPower, President Biden's nominee for @USAID Administrator, and to share my support for her remarkable career and the tremendous good she will do for the world at USAID. https://t.co/8KqhOi6MYZ — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the 11th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, a major victory that expanded health coverage to millions. Today we carry the spirit of that historic bill with us as we fight to finish the job and guarantee every person the health care and dignity they are entitled to. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Gun reform has vast support across America. The movement beat back the NRA. The House passed background checks with Republican votes. But the filibuster allows the minority to essentially veto it in the Senate. That's not how a democracy functions, that's how a democracy dies. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It's time for a union leader to run the Department of Labor. Marty Walsh isn't just an ally of organized labor, he's a fellow worker and organizer who understands the struggle and the power of working Americans. I'm proud to vote to confirm him as our next Secretary of Labor. — PolitiTweet.org
