I stand with Armenia and the people of Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey is emboldening Azerbaijan against Armenia with military aid & provocative statements that undermine mediation efforts. The US must support efforts to achieve peace in the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Tax all billionaires’ pandemic profits at 60% and pay for everyone’s out-of-pocket medical expenses for every person in America for a year. — PolitiTweet.org

If Republicans confirm Judge Barrett, end the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

If the Senate Republicans confirm Judge Barrett, Democrats must move to end the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court in the next Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I will do everything in my power to stop Judge Amy Coney Barrett from being confirmed to the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Her record as a judge and her own words establish that she will be a clear and present danger to reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, labor rights, voting rights, civil rights, and many more. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a far-right, extremist judge, whose vote on the Supreme Court will put at risk the fundamental rights sacred to our democracy. If you are LGBTQ, Judge Amy Coney Barrett doesn’t believe you should get married. — PolitiTweet.org

More than half of parents report that their kids are spending more than six hours a day online. The KIDS Act includes critical new safeguards to protect children from manipulative marketing, disturbing content, and harmful design features online. — PolitiTweet.org

We have the bill to make it happen: https://t.co/5iGigR0PB6 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We should put a 60% tax on the wealth billionaires accumulated since the pandemic started. That alone would pay for all out-of-pocket medical expenses for every person in America for a year. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

First responders on the frontlines of the pandemic rely on T-Band spectrum to communicate and protect our communities. The House passed legislation to preserve this critical resource. Now the Senate must pass my bill on behalf of the people who keep us healthy and safe every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is wrong. FERC should be investigating the leaks and impact of the Weymouth compressor station, not granting it approval. We won't stop fighting against decisions like these, which put a company's profits above people’s health and environment. https://t.co/GRvPxxcECN — PolitiTweet.org

Pompeo wants to cherry-pick the human rights he likes and ignore ones doesn't. That’s not how it works. Embarrassing to see the U.S. discredit human rights norms and give the despots in China, Russia, and elsewhere cover for their violations. We need U.S. leadership again. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The people of Cambodia have also suffered the consequences of corruption and environmental damage. That's why I applaud Treasury's action against a Chinese state-owned company that used Cambodian military forces to seize and demolish Cambodians’ land for a development project. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Cambodian government must cease its wave of arrests targeting young human rights activists and environmental defenders. Free expression is not a crime. https://t.co/iNx3ECbpgF — PolitiTweet.org

The police murdered Breonna Taylor. No one was charged with murder. This is an intentional insult to those fighting for change, the Black Lives Matter movement and, most importantly, Breonna. We cannot and will not stop fighting for justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We will never know how many frontline workers would have been protected and lives would have been saved if this money went where it was needed instead of defense contractors’ pockets. But we can know who is responsible and hold them accountable. We need an investigation now. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to receive a 100% score from the National Parks Action Fund. I’ll continue to be a bold and consistent defender of our parks, but it is only through working with organizations like @ActForParks and the grassroots that we will protect these precious and vulnerable lands. — PolitiTweet.org

We fought to secure $20m in USDA purchasing of Northeast haddock, pollock, and redfish, and now the first contract worth over $4.4m is headed to Blue Harvest Fisheries in New Bedford. We need to keep these USDA purchases of fresh, healthy NE seafood coming for Massachusetts. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s joy to meet Ms. Opal Lee, inspiring and indomitable force for making #Juneteenth a national holiday. @SenTinaSmith @SenBooker @SenKamalaHarris @JohnCornyn and I won’t stop until we honor her dedication to acknowledge our history and take this step toward true freedom. https://t.co/mwbZC2tYHX — PolitiTweet.org

The effort to cure Alzheimer’s is incredibly personal to me, which is why I was so honored to participate in this project, “Turning Point”, along with so many amazing advocates. I look forward to continuing to work with them and find a cure for Alzheimer’s. #WorldAlzheimersMonth https://t.co/YqdwSEt12H — PolitiTweet.org

As the US approaches 200,000 COVID deaths & with nearly 11,000 people exposed to the virus on flights, we STILL don’t have a national plan for aviation health & safety. Congress must pass my & @SenBlumenthal’s legislation & create a task force for protecting the flying public. — PolitiTweet.org

Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico 3 years ago today. Its hardship can still be seen in the strong resolve of Puerto Ricans, who are still fighting the neglect of the Trump administration. To all Puerto Ricans: You are an inspiration and I will not stop fighting for and with you. — PolitiTweet.org

She was the embodiment of true justice & what every jurist strives to become. My thoughts now turn to her family & loved ones during this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Our hearts are broken with the news of the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Justice Ginsburg was a pioneer in the fight for equal rights & a role model to young women across the country. She was brilliant and an advocate for freedom of speech, reproductive rights, & civil rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Now he wants to buy Florida votes and pretend he cares. We see right through you Mr. President. And we don’t forget. https://t.co/Sb0wLZPejx — PolitiTweet.org
