First, Trump threw paper towels at the people of Puerto Rico after hurricanes Irma and María. He also said that hurricane María “threw the budget out of whack.” Time and time again, the President showed complete disregard for Puerto Rico when they needed help the most. — PolitiTweet.org

Tax these billionaires’ pandemic profits at 60% and give everyone health care. — PolitiTweet.org

School bells across the country have started to ring. If the FCC doesn’t immediately utilize the E-Rate program to close the homework gap and connect students to online learning, millions of children may never make it to class. https://t.co/dqJHxGizM0 — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s put a 60% tax on the pandemic profits of the richest 0.001% of America and cover all out-of-pocket medical expenses for every American for a year. Make billionaires pay. And pass Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

I welcome @StateDept's move to provide multi-entry passports for aid work in N. Korea, as I advocated for in the Enhancing North Korea Humanitarian Assistance Act w/ @RepAndyLevin. Congress should pass it because sanctions shouldn't stop selfless humanitarians from saving lives. — PolitiTweet.org

In the middle of a global pandemic, Venezuela is also facing a dire humanitarian and economic crisis. As more and more Venezuelans flee to the U.S., the least we can do is aid them by offering them protected status instead of fear of deportation. #VenezuelaTPS https://t.co/cuiJ20HBGp — PolitiTweet.org

Congress has a moral obligation to TPS recipients to pass legislation that provides the protection. I stand with TPS recipients and will fight with them for a more just immigration system that ensures the humanity of all immigrants in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This decision means that over 200,000 US citizen children will now be forced to choose between their parents and their country. This decision means more family separation. TPS recipients are Americans in every way but their immigration status. We cannot abandon them. — PolitiTweet.org

We need $1 trillion in funding for state and local governments so our teachers, nurses, postal workers, and other dedicated public servants are not laid off. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must continue a national evictions moratorium and provide $100 billion in emergency rental assistance. No one should have to suffer the indignity of being escorted out of their home by the police. The same goes for electricity and energy shut offs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need to extend the $600 weekly Unemployment Insurance benefit through January 2021. This crisis will only be solved by investing in workers. We cannot simply cut them off when we know harder days lie ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need at least $4 billion for my E-Rate program to connect every student to the internet and close the homework gap. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need to give Americans a monthly cash payment of $2,000, and make it retroactive to March. — PolitiTweet.org

We need a robust, comprehensive response right now that matches the scale of the economic crisis caused by COVID. And we have an opportunity to deliver some real justice to working Americans and families. https://t.co/CwBLIarhhP — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

At 12pm ET, I’ll be on the Senate floor to call for the urgent support families and workers need in the next COVID-19 package. Recurring cash payments, rental assistance, an eviction moratorium, billions in E-Rate funding. And more. Watch live: https://t.co/Ety31p0aYq — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the beginning of #HispanicHeritageMonth and #LatinxHeritageMonth. As we celebrate the important contributions of these amazing communities, let’s make sure we also stand by their side as they are constantly attacked by the current occupant of the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands harmed by Erdogan’s crackdown in Turkey have turned to the European Court of Human Rights, which has pushed them back into the very Turkish legal system Erdogan has undermined. I am urging the court to do more and highlighting strong global support for action. https://t.co/SmqwDNiF2w — PolitiTweet.org

Portland police routinely attack peaceful protestors with brute force. We must disarm these officers, and every other police department in America, of weapons of war, and enact a nationwide ban on tear gas, rubber and plastic bullets, and bean bag rounds. — PolitiTweet.org

This is why we can’t compromise on environmental justice. This is why we can’t stop fighting for people living near dangerous fossil fuel infrastructure. When equipment on these facilities fails, it fails all of us. — PolitiTweet.org
