.@MassAGO’s investigation is clear: the Bristol County Sheriff's Office violated the civil rights of these immigrants. This was an institutional failure and a tragic example of why BCSO should not be participating in federal immigration enforcement at all. https://t.co/Yrd8c3DZtV — PolitiTweet.org

Many of the 1 million MA residents experiencing food insecurity during the pandemic rely on the Food Box program, but USDA is undermining the program. @RepMcGovern, @RepPressley and I demand USDA get our schools, food banks and families the food they need. https://t.co/qJ8pha9lyA — PolitiTweet.org

Without legal recourse for workers, corporations have no incentive to protect them. State and local governments deserve help, they shouldn’t have to surrender workers’ rights for it. Senate Republicans are once again putting corporate interests ahead of the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

While the Trump admin has failed during the pandemic, state and local governments stepped up. But Republicans are tying desperately needed relief to legal immunity that protects corporations at the expense of worker safety. We must secure this funding without endangering workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen @ChrisVanHollen, @SenatorBennet, @SenatorHassan, @RepGraceMeng, and I fought hard to secure this funding in the COVID relief package, and I look forward to working with them to secure all of the funding we need to fully and finally close the #HomeworkGap. — PolitiTweet.org

Distance learning is a challenge for all students, but it’s an impossibility for those who don't have reliable internet access. The $3B we secured for E-Rate will help ensure every student can learn at home. Staying safe shouldn't mean getting left behind. https://t.co/ZvjnOsSako — PolitiTweet.org

COVID played a role in 2020's above average Alzheimer's deaths, but the trend is disturbing: by 2050, data suggest 13.8M American seniors will have it. The COVID vaccine shows what we can achieve when we fully empower scientists. Let's do the same w/ Alzheimer’s and find a cure. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, 538 electors voted to select the next President and VP, and I hope it’s the last time. We must abolish the Electoral College. Presidents should be elected by direct popular vote, not by an obsolete institution that values some peoples’ votes more than others. — PolitiTweet.org

.@JoeBiden will be President and @KamalaHarris will be Vice President. It’s up to us – the same millions of people who delivered this victory for them – to ensure this administration is the most progressive in our nation’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans & the NRA have spent the 8 years since the horror at Sandy Hook blocking every attempt to prevent future tragedies. It’s a disgrace. They don't seem to mind the blood on their hands, but we won’t stop until we honor the memory of those killed & stop this bloodshed. — PolitiTweet.org

Parents and policymakers alike are in the dark about how websites and apps are siphoning kids’ and teens’ personal information, profiling users, and raking in profits. I'm glad the FTC heeded my calls for a comprehensive investigation. https://t.co/eRicZiJJNL — PolitiTweet.org

The Weymouth gas compressor station is being rushed back into operation without a completed investigation into two recent emergency shutdowns. This station is a proven threat. @SenWarren and I are urging PHMSA to put health and safety over corporate profits and halt this restart. https://t.co/flyOs75sl9 — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is the #1 economic, security, health, enviro, and moral issue facing our planet. With a climate-centered Biden admin, as well as the actions of our states and cities, the U.S. will once again lead the global movement for climate action. https://t.co/RXuxvln4HO — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 50th, @PBS! Public television is a vital source of news and information, and all ages tune in every day for programming that enriches our lives. I’m committed to ensuring this national treasure remains in our living rooms for another 50 years. https://t.co/X7R8EyxFsb — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 is only one threat to health and safety this winter. Republicans' refusal to extend housing aid is costing thousands of lives. We need a federal eviction moratorium to keep millions of families in their homes. This is a matter of life and death. https://t.co/OtrBw598Be — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The proposed site for the substation is within 800 feet of 8 million gallons of jet fuel, directly across the street from a children’s playground. We cannot ask families to risk their safety for the sake of another dangerous energy project that isn’t needed. #NoEastieSubstation — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The proposed electrical substation in East Boston is unsafe, unhealthy, and unnecessary. It’s time the EFSB lay the project to rest. Watch @GreenRootsEJ activists @RepJoeKennedy @LydiaMEdwards @adrianmadaro as we discuss how we will fight this project. https://t.co/HGtbV3zdmQ — PolitiTweet.org

Today we honor #HumanRightsDay and continue the fight for human rights, at home and abroad. I led the Protecting Human Rights During Pandemic Act to ensure governments don't use the COVID crisis as justification for violations. All people deserve to live with freedom and dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

I voted to stop Trump's lethal weapons sale to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a country that operates secret prisons, fails to protect civilians, and violates a UN arms embargo. Profits for the arms industry should not guide policy in the Middle East. https://t.co/NiLPNKMsVh — PolitiTweet.org

Families are hungry and desperate. We cannot let them freeze this winter. We need to boost low-income home energy funding by $10B to ensure our most vulnerable can make it through. Thank you @BostonABCD @cfcfallriver and NEADA for your work on #LIHEAP. https://t.co/rDbzUDc1DU — PolitiTweet.org

The Army failed Sergeant Fernandes and Specialist Guillen. Their families, like families of all soldiers who've suffered at Fort Hood, deserve justice. @SenWarren and I are calling for Army leadership to testify before the Senate and full accountability. https://t.co/XaPL8ts4yM — PolitiTweet.org

Another month of record shattering temperatures. Another month of struggle for workers during the pandemic. We have an opportunity to create jobs, protect those in harm’s way, and solve the climate crisis with a Green New Deal. Now is the time to act. https://t.co/dUW9ywGbbM — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

With COVID-19 cases rising and a harsh winter ahead, no one should have to choose between heating and eating. I'm call for $10 billion increase to low-income home energy assistance and a moratorium on any utility shut-offs. This is basic human decency. https://t.co/qDTrGysFsI — PolitiTweet.org
