More than 160,000 Americans are dead. Millions more have lost their jobs. The American people pay with their lives every day for the criminal negligence of the Trump administration to combat COVID. It is time the country’s wealthiest do the same with their profits. — PolitiTweet.org

It is unconscionable that the super-wealthy are getting even richer during this pandemic. This 60% tax on the 0.001% can help provide health care for every single American for a year. It's time to #MakeBillionairesPay. Proud to join @SenSanders & @SenGillibrand in this fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see that the Division of Marine Fisheries is now able to distribute this hard-won and much-needed relief to our fishing communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m happy to see the Massachusetts plan for how to distribute CARES Act fisheries relief be among the first approved in the country. I worked with NOAA and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to ensure things moved along smoothly. https://t.co/xU6EP8Y389 — PolitiTweet.org

The State Dept’s leadership crisis continues as they lose another Inspector General. @SecPompeo can try to limit accountability & transparency but Congress will be diligent in our oversight responsibilities & get to the bottom of the firing of IG Linick. https://t.co/bftbK6IFLi — PolitiTweet.org

We need to give every American a retroactive $2,000/month payment for each of March, April, May, June, July, and August. $2,000/month going forward until this crisis is over. And then $2,000/month for three months after that. — PolitiTweet.org

Immigrants are being left out of COVID stimulus payments. In Massachusetts, 75% of households surveyed that have an undocumented member have not received any kind of federal stimulus funds. 78% report not having enough to eat. We need safety net funding for ALL immigrants. — PolitiTweet.org

America has the opportunity to advance the offshore wind industry and provide clean energy for millions of homes, 80,000 annual jobs, and billions in revenue and investment. We must continue to support offshore wind, pass my Offshore WIND Act, and fight for a clean energy future. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It would be unacceptable to leave even a single student without the tools they need to safely learn from home, but the GOP’s proposal could strand 16 million kids without adequate internet access/devices. I’m fighting for at least $4bn in E-Rate funding. https://t.co/FaHCH3APhs — PolitiTweet.org

That broken promise affects people in every country. Outrageously, under the new national security law Beijing imposed on Hong Kong, a U.S. citizen in America is a fugitive for allegedly “inciting secession” and “collusion with foreign forces.” https://t.co/FFyW5q8ldF — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Disqualifying pro-democracy candidates wasn’t enough, so #HongKong authorities are now brazenly postponing elections for 1 year. After China’s broken promise, the gap between HK & free societies grows. South Korea held a safe election in April, there’s no valid excuse for delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Decarbonizing the economy can create 25 million American jobs AND save households thousands in energy costs annually. We have the technology, we just need the political will. Now is the time for a Green New Deal. https://t.co/teJ0l8y2nI. — PolitiTweet.org

GAO’s report shows we risk spending ourselves to oblivion on gold-plated nuclear weapons. The sticker shock will only grow if Trump fails to extend the New START Treaty to cap Russia’s strategic nuclear forces. Extending New START is a no-brainer. https://t.co/8YGpQNIz93 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Kids and teachers shouldn’t have to go back to school if it’s not safe. It’s inexcusable that the Senate Republican relief proposal contains ZERO money to bridge the #HomeworkGap. I’m fighting for the funding we need to ensure students can safely learn from home. — PolitiTweet.org

My Turkey Human Rights Promotion Act reaffirms U.S. support for internet and media freedom in Turkey and provides assistance to preserve free speech amidst the crackdown. https://t.co/H0yKRINx2M — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Turkey’s new social media law is a dangerous escalation in Erdogan’s assault on free speech. As more countries follow the China model of repression, social media platforms must decide if they’re willing to be complicit in government abuses. https://t.co/PNzZC9jO5E — PolitiTweet.org

It is absurd that cops are allowed to use weapons of war on American protestors that even our soldiers aren’t allowed to use. We must ban tear gas. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are putting Donald Trump’s personal interests before the American people. We don’t have time to play these games when unemployment is expiring, evictions loom, and lives are literally at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need a national moratorium on evictions during this crisis AND a massive investment in affordable housing because homelessness is also a crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

If Senate Republicans propose anything short of: -recurring payments -extension of *full* UI benefits -moratorium on evictions and utility shutoffs it won’t just be be wholly inadequate, it will be a death sentence for desperate Americans who have waited months for relief. — PolitiTweet.org
