Governments are cracking down on dissent, restricting media freedom, and increasing surveillance in the name of COVID. The U.S. must be a leading voice to support human rights around the world at this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased the House passed an amendment to the NDAA offered by @RepMcGovern based on our Protecting Human Rights During Pandemic Act to ensure that the U.S. stands up for human rights around the world during the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

COVID has blown wide-open one of the nation’s worst kept secrets: the inequity with which students are not able to access the internet at home. Congress should invest at least $4 billion in E-Rate to close the #HomeworkGap before the fall. https://t.co/01MfGXX1Mo — PolitiTweet.org

Investments in internet access disproportionately bypass people of color. We have to fix this inequity, and we can help close the #HomeworkGap by including at least $4 billion for the E-Rate program in the next COVID relief package. https://t.co/NL7sZ9XCvk — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s not play politics with the lives of teachers and students. We know most, if not all, kids will need remote learning this fall. Let’s pass my E-Rate bill to provide $4 billion to connect students and teachers and close the #HomeworkGap. https://t.co/oEMkLpXh6E — PolitiTweet.org

Thrilled that @RepBenMcAdams and @RepDinaTitus just passed the PLANET Act, which I first introduced in the Senate to help spare future generations from an arms race and radiation sickness. I led the fight against Reagan on this and won. We must ensure the PLANET Act becomes law. — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds of thousands of homes in Massachusetts face a risk of flooding—far more than known. Worsening climate change means this danger won’t go away—we need to pass a Green New Deal in order to protect people’s homes and communities. https://t.co/meScYPZNLj — PolitiTweet.org

We need a MASSIVE investment in universal connectivity, combined with a new National Broadband Plan and at least $4 billion for closing the homework gap, to provide relief and ensure a just recovery from COVID-19. In 2020, broadband is a jobs, education, and civil rights issue. — PolitiTweet.org

John Lewis was conscience, compass, and moral touchstone for Congress. For me, he was an inspiration and a leader I was blessed to know. The Lewis family is in my prayers, and I know John will forever be in our hearts. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

John Lewis knew better than anyone how to build a movement that modeled the kind of world we want to create. He was a man of integrity and clarity of purpose, and his spirit flows through every protester on America’s streets chanting Black Lives Matter and making good trouble. — PolitiTweet.org

Pompeo should be ashamed to use his position to further the Trump admin's assault against human rights. From the start, this commission has been a disingenuous exercise, based on the false premise that there is some confusion to be cleared up when it comes to human rights norms. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

You know you are in good company when you’re on the same side as Nobel Laureates speaking against a return to nuclear-weapons testing. My PLANET Act would deny an impulsive President Trump from firing off a nuclear test and restarting a global arms race. https://t.co/aAcWL6OJ19 — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t even hold ordinary police officers accountable. Now Trump is sending a secret police force of unidentified, militarized agents to Portland to terrorize protestors. These agents should be immediately withdrawn and we need to ban the use of unidentified officers. — PolitiTweet.org

TY to @SenSusanMoran for securing $350M to begin work on the roadway approaches to the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges. This is a critical component of the larger Cape Cod Bridges replacement project. I will continue work with my federal partners to secure the funding to complete it. — PolitiTweet.org

Residents of Chelsea are facing the twin crises of COVID-19 and air pollution, exacerbated by years of environmental racism. @RepPressley and I are calling on the EPA to install air monitors - a first step towards cleaner air for Chelsea. https://t.co/3jEvDH8ZBo — PolitiTweet.org
