We fell short of overriding Trump’s veto, but the Senate signaled once again that only Congress has the power to decide when we go to war. I led the charge against Trump's unauthorized killing of Soleimani. I'll continue my fight to ensure Trump doesn’t start a war with Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

Peace Corps volunteers who were evacuated due to #COVID19 are among the best ambassadors our country has to offer. I applaud the Peace Corps for offering readmission of evacuated volunteers to their previous country posts as @ChrisVanHollen and I called for in the UNITE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has shown us that our work is far from done to ensure universal connectivity. We need to update the National Broadband Plan so we can continue to invest in our nation’s future by bringing the power and promise of broadband to us all. https://t.co/cG0mBSrI2w — PolitiTweet.org

Glad that Frontier listened to me and @RepCohen and is dropping it’s outrageous middle seat fee. No one should have to pay extra for health during the #COVID19 crisis. I’ll keep fighting to eliminate all unfair airline fees. https://t.co/umJLbJhZj8 — PolitiTweet.org

To ascribe to any country or people “a history of infecting the world,” as he has done twice, is unbecoming of any U.S. official, let alone a Secretary of State well aware that he may already have exacerbated a wave of anti-Asian racism. https://t.co/pVElU4GCkM — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump and Sec Pompeo are eager to blame China about spread of #COVID19 but have been unwilling to provide basic information about their own response. If Pompeo has evidence for his claim that the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab, he should present it immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Sec. DeVos’s changes to Title IX doesn’t “address the scourge of sexual misconduct on our nation’s campuses,” it encourages it by empowering offenders. This isn’t about due process or free speech, it’s about silencing victims. We will fight back. https://t.co/m3TCkVtOeB — PolitiTweet.org

Americans need cash to pay for necessities like food, housing, and medical care. Temporary airline credits aren't sufficient. The airlines received a multi-billion dollar bailout. They have a responsibility to provide cash refunds, not another voucher. https://t.co/2b5sSYG80A — PolitiTweet.org

10 years. 500,000 deaths. 11 million displaced. #COVID19 may have made some people forget about the humanitarian crisis in Syria, but it could make the crisis even worse. @JohnBoozman and I are asking the Trump admin to follow our outline and bring relief to the Syrian people. https://t.co/Fui9ahj7CM — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Saleena Arif is a primary care physician at a community health center in MA. She is involved in testing and management of #COVID19 patients while also ensuring timely healthcare for patients with other acute or chronic illnesses. Thank you, Dr. Arif. #ImmigrantHealthHeroes https://t.co/rI3qXhiZk8 — PolitiTweet.org

Our essential workers deserve protections. Paid sick time. PPE. Universal health care. Layoff protections. We need to provide these protections during the #COVID19 emergency, and we need to provide it every single day, for every single worker. #ProtectAllWorkers — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that this incorporates key aspects of the UNITE Act, which I announced w/ @ChrisVanHollen, through its commitment to the flagship AmeriCorps programs to aid vulnerable communities and its commitment to increase service opportunities for those left unemployed by #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump is just plain wrong when he asserts that he has total authority. I'm introducing legislation to require the President to turn over all presidential emergency action documents that may give the President extraordinary powers. https://t.co/rHPL0DkblL — PolitiTweet.org

Mohammad bin Salman jails his own people without cause and ordered the brutal murder of a U.S. resident. He should not get any U.S. help in his dangerous pursuit of a nuclear weapon. Glad the GAO recommends more transparency on U.S.-Saudi 123 nuclear cooperation agreements. — PolitiTweet.org

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Throughout the month, I will be sharing resources for those seeking help. If you or someone you know is having a difficult time during #COVID19, please don’t hesitate to seek assistance. #MentalHealthMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need widespread testing and contact tracing to stop #COVID19. Millions are out of work and looking to serve. @ChrisVanHollen and I have offered part of the solution: pass our UNITE Act and recruit hundreds of thousands of people to test, trace, and assist the vulnerable. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s more important than ever that we have access to accurate and timely information and that we protect journalists’ ability to do their jobs safely. I will continue to fight for press freedom at home and around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve called out the Chinese government’s expulsions of journalists, and I ensured that the Senate resolution honoring Chinese doctors and nurses fighting #COVID19 also recognized independent journalists censored for their reporting. — PolitiTweet.org

I introduced the Turkey Human Rights Promotion Act to call out one of the world’s worst jailers of journalists, and ensure the State Department prioritizes press freedom in its diplomacy with Turkey. — PolitiTweet.org
