The Keystone pipeline has left a trail of environmental destruction in its wake. Devastating the lands of the Cree, Dene, and Métis people through extraction and damage to the environment with frequent spills along its route. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

8 days ago, over half a million gallons of crude oil started leaking from the Keystone pipeline. This is bigger than the last 22 Keystone pipeline spills combined and the largest onshore spill in the U.S. in over ten years. TC Energy must be held accountable for this disaster. https://t.co/ynlh2qposE — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech is tracking and targeting children and teens online in pursuit of profit, and an entire generation’s health is suffering the consequence. This is a crisis. Congress has to act on children's privacy before the end of the year. https://t.co/p4bh42xAzU — PolitiTweet.org

On the anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting, we remember the children and educators who were killed. Ten years later, it's past time we act to prevent gun violence: reinstate the Assault Weapons Ban, tighten background checks, and increase oversight of firearm dealers. — PolitiTweet.org

After introducing the Communications, Technology, and Video Accessibility Act, I was excited to visit the Perkins School for the Blind to see firsthand the importance of accessibility technologies for students who are deaf, blind, and deafblind. Thank you @PerkinsVision. https://t.co/a0eshgpKfy — PolitiTweet.org

We can and must get this done before the end of the year. — PolitiTweet.org

Fourth, Congress should commission a study of the COPPA safe harbor provisions. A report from the FTC Inspector General will help ensure the original 1998 law effectively protects the interests of children. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Third, we need to institute a federal Youth Marketing and Privacy Division. A new division at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will ensure the agency focuses on the specific, unique threats to children and teens online. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Second, we have to extend data protections to teenagers. COPPA created critical privacy protections for children under the age of 13. However, today, when close to half of teens say they are online “almost constantly,” this age threshold is too low. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

First, we must ban targeted advertising to children and finally stop online actors from relentlessly tracking young users for their manipulative marketing practices. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We have to act on children’s privacy by the end of the year. That's why I've identified four key provisions, that bipartisan Committee leadership in the House and the Senate have supported in COPPA 2.0 & ADPPA. We're calling on leadership to get this done. https://t.co/a4LZWgQ78y https://t.co/qEp1BXcyAm — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you SAMHSA for breaking down barriers to opioid treatment—but Congress must do more. We need to pass the Opioid Treatment Access Act now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I was honored to join so many friends, colleagues, and allies as @POTUS signed the Respect for Marriage Act today. This is an historic step towards equality—but we must go further. Let’s pass the Equality Act and finally codify the right to marry whoever you love. https://t.co/BUvWQJAo6i — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday’s EPA report makes it clear that without robust fuel economy standards, fuel efficiency will remain at a standstill. We need to get in the fast lane and drive down emissions. https://t.co/ZTw7QakoAU — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’ll support @SenSanders' War Powers Resolution restricting U.S. support for the Saudi and UAE war in Yemen. Since 2015, 6 million Yemenis have been displaced and nearly 24 million need humanitarian assistance. We must be clear—the U.S. supports peace. https://t.co/8VjXBbxeay — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We're a nation of immigrants, made more resilient by the invaluable contributions of those who come to the U.S. I applaud @POTUS for reconvening the Task Force on New Americans and recommitting to providing the support that new arrivals need to thrive. https://t.co/gyfDWHC9RK — PolitiTweet.org

Outdated, unscientific laws and regulations are hurting our ability to fight the overdose crisis. Congress must pass the Opioid Treatment Access Act now. https://t.co/e8B22zOt3P — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As we enter the 118th Congress in 2023, with a newly won senate majority, our mandate from the American people is clear. They want their senators to advance a progressive agenda that works for working families. I'm ready to fight for that agenda. https://t.co/6LYqYOpxVL — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to join my colleagues, @TuftsUniversity, community leaders, and so much of the beautiful Greater Boston community this morning to celebrate the long-awaited opening of the Green Line's Medford branch—a critical step towards Greater Boston's Green New Deal future. https://t.co/ZoAKzhSngs — PolitiTweet.org

Stealing the SNAP benefits that people use to pay for their food is horrifically cruel. We must act immediately to ensure that families can get their stolen SNAP benefits repaid. https://t.co/HpzDPmVjYT — PolitiTweet.org

Access to tests for Alzheimer’s and other dementias shouldn’t be based on ability to pay out of pocket or get into a clinical trial. I am calling for Medicare to improve access to tools that help diagnose, treat, and plan for these diseases. https://t.co/7Q2FPaAnsZ — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil claims to be taking climate action, but their actions are driving the climate crisis. It’s not shocking—it’s their business plan. But it is despicable. https://t.co/Keo5AxAHkv — PolitiTweet.org

Rail workers need paid sick days and we won’t stop fighting until they get what they deserve. I’m proud to join my colleagues in urging @POTUS to do everything he can to secure this essential benefit. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

From access to baby formula to preventing foodborne illness, a strong FDA is critical for safe and healthy food. The FDA must do more to guarantee Americans have safe food to eat and Congress needs to pass my Ensuring Safe and Toxic-Free Foods Act. https://t.co/S7gOKxeXyu — PolitiTweet.org

I had the honor of meeting Cambodian union leader Chhim Sithar in August. Workers like her are the engines of our economies and shouldn't be imprisoned for demanding dignity and fair pay. I urge the Cambodian government to release her immediately. https://t.co/7xhVB0m3LR — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am outraged, but not surprised by the news of yet another oil spill from the Keystone Pipeline. We've seen the same story play out year after year as they dangerously transport some of the dirtiest oil on the planet. We need answers and we need accountability now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Massachusetts families deserve resilient, safe infrastructure. I’m proud of major investments @SenWarren and I secured to ensure our frontline communities can weather the impacts of climate change and access clean water for generations to come. https://t.co/erpRM8M5GC — PolitiTweet.org

Airport service workers have been at the frontlines of the pandemic at airports across the country to make sure we get safely to our destination—they need fair wages and good benefits. Congress has to pass my Good Jobs for Good Airports Act to get this done. https://t.co/hVALWnNRHY — PolitiTweet.org
