The health care workers at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home are heroes who care for their veteran residents with dignity, compassion, and professionalism. I visited them today to offer my gratitude and promise the continued partnership and aid of my office. https://t.co/g5Dp9xm4KG — PolitiTweet.org

A tragic climate disaster continues in Texas and it is communities of color and low income communities who are facing the very worst of it. — PolitiTweet.org

1 of 3 illegitimate charges against Philippine @SenLeiladeLima has been dropped. While that is welcome news, it is not enough. Duterte has wrongfully detained De Lima for 4 years under false charges and she must be released. My full statement with @SenatorDurbin & @SenatorLeahy: https://t.co/mMkwoULrcQ — PolitiTweet.org

And if the response to this crisis isn’t to get off fossil fuels, transition to clean energy, strengthen power grids, and protect public health, you’re paying a climate denial fee on every energy bill. — PolitiTweet.org

When once-in-a-lifetime storms now happen every year and unprecedented disasters become business-as-usual, you’re watching climate change in real time. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm on the road today visiting health care workers at the Holyoke Soldiers' Home, meeting with local leaders opposing a planned biomass plant in Springfield, and joining @MassNurses on the picket line at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester. — PolitiTweet.org

People in Texas are hurting badly and many are facing life-threatening cold. Meanwhile, Republicans are attempting to score nonsensical political points and embarrassing themselves. What do we do? We look out for our fellow Americans and we organize for a Green New Deal. — PolitiTweet.org

When Jackie Robinson's Serenity in the City spa in Medford was on the ropes during this pandemic, the paycheck protection program came to the rescue for her and her employees. Thank you Jackie, @MayorLungoKoehn, Councilor Caraviello, and @Barber4StateRep for joining me today. https://t.co/kGwdmBxns9 — PolitiTweet.org

It's our job in Congress to keep small businesses and workers afloat. I visited my neighbors at @cornufoods & @BodaBorgBoston in Malden today to talk about the PPP loans they received and hear about what they need to keep going. We will stand by them through this economic crisis. https://t.co/gAl3gFDuZr — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone opposed to abolishing the filibuster should direct their attention to the 43 Republicans who voted to acquit Trump. How can we expect them to work with us in good faith when they refuse to accept undeniable facts? We cannot. And that's why we must abolish the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

We need an accessible and centralized vaccine system in Massachusetts, one that allows people to pre-register and be alerted when appointments are available. We cannot allow the most vulnerable communities in our state to be prevented from getting the vaccinations they need. — PolitiTweet.org

From her leadership desegregating the Boston Housing Authority, to her advocacy for Roxbury Community College, and her legacy creating Massachusetts’ first majority-Black State Senate district, Doris dedicated her life and career to the fight for justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

She taught me life-long lessons about the dignity of a safe home, the power of womanhood, and the rights of every person to lift themselves up and make a better world. All of us in Massachusetts owe this history-maker and trailblazer endless gratitude. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Doris Bunte was a fearless pioneer in the Massachusetts State House who never wavered in her commitment to the principles she believed in – justice, integrity, access to opportunity. When we served together in the State House, she was counsel, inspiration, and friend. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

When there was no path, Doris Bunte charted one. When there was no example, Doris Bunte became one. When there was no choice, Doris Bunte made history. https://t.co/0ywPMuR8oX — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden is extending the foreclosure moratorium and mortgage relief program through June. This is great news, but millions of renters are counting the days until the eviction moratorium expires on March 31. They need direct cash assistance and they need it now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is the reality of the climate crisis. We need a Green New Deal to weatherize and retrofit millions of homes across the United States and protect families from climate disasters like the deadly winter storms we are witnessing right now. https://t.co/hNA6BeGUzj — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It’s fair to argue that on January 6, Donald Trump wanted Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi to be killed. He invited rioters to the Capitol and cheered them on, yet 43 Republicans voted to acquit him because of their unflinching fealty to Trump, a white supremacist and insurrectionist. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is our constitutional obligation as Senators, as jurors, and people of conscience -- to have the trial, which is a search for the truth. We must get the evidence available to us. There must be accountability and justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Gathering more first-hand evidence of Trump being derelict in his duty and violating of his oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution is about informing jurors on the ultimate question of convicting Trump and disqualifying him from future office. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We’ve already seen evidence in the form of Trump’s tweet at 2:24 pm that he was attacking VP Pence after Trump knew that Pence was already in mortal danger. We’ve already heard the Trump was reportedly “delighted” at the mayhem unfolding in the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The focus for now is on Trump’s conversation with Kevin McCarthy. That conversation goes to the critical issue of Trump’s actions and state of mind after the rioters breached the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The significance of this development in the impeachment trial can’t be overstated. We are now going to have witnesses. Each witness can lead to other witnesses and new information. This can also prompt others with new evidence to come forward voluntarily. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Agreed. The House Managers should ask for witnesses to be called, including anyone who communicated with Donald Trump or have direct knowledge of his actions and state of mind while he was in the White House after the Capitol was breached and while the attempted coup was ongoing. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Trump's lawyers don't want the American people to hear what the President knew about the insurrection and when he knew it. But this timeline makes clear Trump had no intention of protecting the Capitol or upholding his oath of office. He must be convicted. https://t.co/Xk6xWRvWUz — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Here's what I just asked at the impeachment trial: "Exactly when did the President learn of the breach at the Capitol and what steps did he take to address the violence?" Trump's lawyers refused to answer, but it's clear Trump was aware of the danger to VP Pence and did nothing. — PolitiTweet.org
