I am proud that the FY23 omnibus includes funding for so many of my priorities. Here are some highlights: — PolitiTweet.org

It will advance crucial scientific research on the road to finding a cure for Alzheimer’s and help reverse the cruel trend of decreased life expectancy due to the scourge of the opioid epidemic. And so much more. — PolitiTweet.org

This package writes into law significant progress in my continued efforts to safeguard coastal communities from the threats posed by climate change and funds critical research to shed light on the adverse impacts of media and technology on the development of young people. — PolitiTweet.org

I am so glad that we finally passed an end-of-year spending package that keeps essential government services running while making major investments to improve the health, safety, resiliency, and prosperity of millions of people in Massachusetts and across the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

These federal dollars will be put to good use uplifting on-the-ground work to improve our essential infrastructure, expand public transportation access, spur the development of affordable housing, promote our clean energy future, and support families most in need. — PolitiTweet.org

All across Massachusetts, community leaders are working tirelessly to build a brighter future for our Commonwealth. I am proud to have worked with my colleagues to deliver $225 million to help them do just that. https://t.co/PzRz1myCs9 — PolitiTweet.org

In Massachusetts, and across the US, people are waiting longer, traveling farther, and paying more for health care as doctors and nurses do their best to meet demand. We must act to ensure affordable, high-quality care for all. https://t.co/iZULmjNH3c — PolitiTweet.org

We're going to maintain successful fisheries while developing offshore wind—but we need a plan. @RepMoulton and I have been working across the aisle in both chambers to develop a policy that keeps our blue economy afloat as we build our clean energy future.https://t.co/dnYjhc95np — PolitiTweet.org

President @ZelenskyyUa has bravely led the Ukrainian people in the defense of their homeland. We were honored to welcome him to the Capitol tonight, and we stand united in our support for Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

We're calling on @POTUS to meet his administration’s international climate commitments and publicly release a plan before the end of the year to lay out how the U.S. will end public financing of international fossil fuel projects. https://t.co/9hw9cuclnu — PolitiTweet.org

Massachusetts needs an accessible and equitable T for all. I’m proud to have partnered with @SenWarren to secure $66 million for accessibility upgrades to the MBTA as we work to get the T back on track. — PolitiTweet.org

Azerbaijan must immediately end the blockade of the only road between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia. Ethnic Armenians are suffering as supplies like food & medication run low. It’s urgent that Azerbaijan put an end to this humanitarian crisis and commit to a peaceful path forward. — PolitiTweet.org

21st-century kids and teens are facing threats posed by 21st-century tech. We can't let these threats go unchecked. I won't stop fighting until we've delivered young people the rights and protections they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

By not passing my bipartisan, consensus proposal, Congress failed a moral test, it failed parents, it failed pediatricians, and it failed children and teens grappling with body image challenges, depression, and even suicidal ideation fueled by Big Tech’s unconscionable behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I'm appalled that Republican leadership, in the pocket of these Big Tech billionaires, stood in the way of basic privacy rights for children and teens. It's shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The toxicity, tracking, and targeting young people face on the internet has reached a crisis—but Big Tech refused to let any update to my Children's Online Privacy Protection Act pass. Big Tech's threats to kids aren’t a glitch in the system, they’re part of the business model. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Congress just bankrolled an $857 billion defense bill but failed to provide a single penny to meet our commitments to the Green Climate Fund—a step that would truly help us defend our country and our planet from chaos and instability. https://t.co/McdFjtWAiZ — PolitiTweet.org

Postmaster General DeJoy has finally heeded my call to electrify the USPS fleet, but if @USPS wants a full stamp of approval it must ensure the workers building the fleet can collectively bargain. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today the FTC made clear that the predatory practices threatening young people online extend beyond social media. Congress must act now to put an end to this generation-defining mental health & privacy crisis. https://t.co/JEZ77oaFL9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The American people today and for generations to come are in debt to the January 6th Committee for their work to uncover and document the lies told, fraud committed, and violence stoked by Donald Trump. It’s clearer than ever that he belongs in a jailhouse, not the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Chag Sameach! As the Festival of Lights brightens our homes, I’m wishing a warm and happy Hanukkah to all celebrating in Massachusetts and around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Led by the U.S., the UN just removed Iran from the UN Commission on Women. The world must continue to support the brave protestors in Iran and be clear in our condemnation of Iran’s brutal human rights abuses. https://t.co/JpBxmAL7uR — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The NDAA authorizes $857 billion for defense spending next year. This is ridiculous. We can't keep throwing money into a bloated, inefficient national security machine. I won't support it. https://t.co/u1WqR66s0O — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you Chair Glick for your service. I'm grateful for your commitment to ensuring energy projects make sense for our grid, our communities, and our future. I urge @POTUS to make sure our next chair will continue this important work on transmission and community engagement. — PolitiTweet.org

As climate disasters become more frequent, climate anxiety intensifies the already dire mental health crisis. I'm introducing the Community Mental Wellness and Resilience Act to empower communities to face these overlapping health crises. https://t.co/TJ8OvTdLyA — PolitiTweet.org
