Thai authorities must protect the rights of peaceful protestors, not arrest them. Shared respect for freedoms of speech and assembly strengthens the U.S.-Thailand alliance. https://t.co/MBicl4jgMM via @bpolitics — PolitiTweet.org

You know who won’t get a say in who will be the next Supreme Court Justice? All the young people voting now and on Election Day for bold climate action. With the power to combat the climate crisis at risk, their voices should be heard. #SCOTUShearings https://t.co/0SYPcCnc1m — PolitiTweet.org

12 million Americans may have lost employer-sponsored health insurance during the COVID pandemic. So what do Senate Republicans do? Ignore their desperate cries for help and jam through a nominee who would vote to rip away coverage for millions more. #WhatsAtStake #SCOTUShearings — PolitiTweet.org

We are going to bring the movement that we started here in Massachusetts for same-sex marriage all the way to the Supreme Court courtrooms. To fight for the equal rights of our LGBTQ loved ones, our communities, and our very democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, I stood with State Sen. @JulianCyr Newton City Councilor Holly Ryan @massequality and @FenwayHealth to say that we cannot afford a Supreme Court justice like Amy Coney Barrett who has demonstrated open hostility to LGBTQ rights and marriage equality. #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/X2mcU1S89v — PolitiTweet.org

We see Trump's deadly mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Does anyone think he should have sole authority to launch a U.S. nuclear weapon? My bill w @RepTedLieu says that no President should be able to launch one without Congressional approval. https://t.co/i0M2E93Jwd — PolitiTweet.org

A lesser known consequence of extreme heat: a widening racial achievement gap. More heat exposure at schools meant reduced learning for Black and Latinx students. My Prevent HEAT Illness and Deaths Act would help fight the rising injustice of rising temps. https://t.co/bWKqvjk5aO — PolitiTweet.org

Record wildfires, record hurricanes, and now this: the hottest September EVER. Climate change is happening & we’re causing it--whether or not the Denier-in-Chief admits it. We need a Green New Deal, and we need it now. https://t.co/215yMNKH2G — PolitiTweet.org

Massachusetts was the model for Affordable Care Act. But if Trump and his SCOTUS nominee have their way, 336,700 Bay Staters enrolled through Medicaid expansion could lose coverage. #WhatsAtStake — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Want to know #WhatsAtStake if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court? 2,918,400 in Massachusetts with pre-existing conditions could face higher costs, fewer benefits, and could have trouble finding coverage. We're must fight to defend health care for millions. — PolitiTweet.org

Serious questions remain about the violation of individual constitutional rights since ICE agents stopped Bena Apreala, including law enforcement’s targeting and harassing individuals based on race. @SenWarren @RepPressley @RepLynch and I want answers. https://t.co/tlwwKa15Fn — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to joining my great friends at the @acbnational this morning to celebrate the 10th anniversary of my legislation, the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act. It is a landmark achievement for equality in America. #CVAA10 — PolitiTweet.org

From students learning at home, to telehealth appointment, to finding a voting location, internet access for every American is critical now more than ever. The fight doesn't stop until #netneutrality is back on the books. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The FCC and Ajit Pai are back at it again as they continue to take Americans down a path towards a less free and open internet. Undermining #netneutrality means limiting broadband access amid a global pandemic, and we won't stand for it. #SaveTheNet https://t.co/f8O09YTjjg — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In 2004, Massachusetts paved the way for marriage equality. Five years ago, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states. It is the settled law of the land. The Senate must reject any nominee who would side with Justices Thomas and Alito to overturn Obergefell. — PolitiTweet.org

I introduced this bill because the Rohingya people deserve not only security, sustenance, and citizenship, but also our simple acknowledgment of the facts surrounding the unspeakable crimes inflicted upon them and their loved ones. Thank you for the support, @RefugeesIntl. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

.@SecPompeo. You talk a big game on religious freedom. That must extend to the Rohingya people, targeted for their religion according to well-documented witness accounts of atrocities. It’s time to end your silence on genocide. — PolitiTweet.org

Of Bin Salman, Trump says he “saved his ass” for the killing of Khashoggi. But the world knows what happened. Salman is a thug whose buddy Trump won’t be able to shield from justice forever. We’ll keep fighting for #JusticeforJamal — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks 2 years since the brutal murder of reporter and activist Jamal Khashoggi by the Saudi Arabian government at the direction of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Today let’s remember and honor Khahsoggi's life by working to hold those accountable for his death. — PolitiTweet.org

Weymouth Compressor Station operations shouldn’t just be paused, they should be permanently stopped. For the sake of public health, safety, and the environment, FERC should rescind approvals for the project, which is unhealthy, unsafe, and unnecessary. https://t.co/Kv2RG3a5Pz — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 180 million are at risk of having water, electric, or gas shut off after falling behind on their bills during this crisis. We need a nationwide moratorium on utility shut-offs and to pass a recovery bill to keep them from being crushed by this debt. https://t.co/15YsHIACD0 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

PHMSA has informed me that they will be asking the compressor to stay its operations while this investigation is ongoing, as per the request we made earlier today. Enbridge should follow this request and immediately halt all plans to become operational tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

After yet another unacceptable and dangerous blowout event at the Weymouth compressor station this morning, our federal pipeline safety agency is sending an investigator to determine why these disasters keep happening. https://t.co/Nn3f6eJq3f — PolitiTweet.org
