Working people need money in their pockets right now. We can do that by expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit which would deliver financial relief to millions, and has also shown to improve health outcomes for mothers and infants. https://t.co/ACMwTerFco — PolitiTweet.org

Reports from immigrants detained at Bristol County jail are horrifying. There must be a full investigation. Every person, including those in detention, deserves to feel safe, have a voice in their medical treatment, and be treated with dignity. https://t.co/OhlZUcNGNo — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t let the pandemic and lack of monitoring manpower be an excuse for climate crimes. Temporarily cleaner air won't make up for lasting damage caused by accelerating deforestation. My legislation would deter officials from recklessly enabling it. https://t.co/X1T67mrKn1 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Assisted living facilities have no reporting requirement for their #COVID19 responses & are at risk of becoming hot spots. We need to know what is being done to protect these high-risk populations. @SenWarren & I demand they release the data we need to keep our loved ones safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m glad that airlines are listening to my call and increasingly recognize that *everyone* traveling needs to wear a mask during #COVID19. Every airline must do the same. If they don’t, Congress must force airlines to require masks for everyone on flights. https://t.co/izdNjKhodg — PolitiTweet.org

Clearview has failed to demonstrate that it can be trusted to protect our privacy. I’m concerned that if Clearview becomes involved in our response to #COVID19, their invasive tech will become normalized, and that could spell the end of our ability to move anonymously in public. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We can't let the need for COVID contact tracing be used as cover by companies like Clearview to build shadowy surveillance networks. I’m demanding Clearview tell us what government entities it has sold its facial recognition tools to during the pandemic. https://t.co/wMQuvipgfn — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s fossil fuel cronies lobbied and are going to take money that was meant to help businesses survive the #COVID19 pandemic in order to bail themselves out of $200 billion in existing debt. It’s unacceptable, unjust, and we cannot let this stand. https://t.co/DLWNMAn2XZ — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

@SenWarren, @RepPressley, and I demand the Trump administration collect the data we need to deliver resources to our hardest hit communities, and do more to ensure they have the resources they need to fight this pandemic. https://t.co/g8Umx7lxX2 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We know #COVID19 is disproportionately hurting communities of color, but we still don’t have the data we need to enable a truly just response, and we’re not doing enough to protect these communities in the meantime. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We cannot let students without internet access be left behind during #COVID19. When the Senate returns, @ChrisVanHollen, @SenatorBennet, @SenatorHassan, & I will intro legislation to provide $4B in E-Rate funds to close the #HomeworkGap & ensure ALL students can keep learning. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Every person who flies during #COVID19 should be *required* to wear a face mask during the flight. We cannot rely on individual airlines’ policies. @SenBlumenthal and I are demanding the Trump admin issue a nationwide rule to protect the crew, passengers, and the public. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m also pushing for my and @ChrisVanHollen’s UNITE Act to be included in next #COVID19 package to allow evacuated Peace Corps volunteers to either apply their skills here at home at AmeriCorps and FEMA OR to be guaranteed readmission into the Peace Corps when programs resume. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Important news for Peace Corps and other volunteers recalled due to #COVID19: you are now eligible for unemployment insurance. Our volunteers signed up to serve their country, and they deserve their country’s full support during these difficult times. https://t.co/NPdeGiaz0N — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It is crucial that these funds get out to Massachusetts providers impacted by #COVID19. I'm encouraged that the Trump admin has committed to provide more funds to hot spots, but we will continue to press HHS to meet the needs of Massachusetts providers. https://t.co/FcK0wysvXU — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to see the @FCC continue to enact my law with @SenJohnThune to block one-ring phone scams that both annoy and confuse consumers. https://t.co/MZ9yhMHdsC — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, @RepRoKhanna and I introduced the No Unconstitutional War with North Korea Act to send the message that no matter who is at the helm in North Korea, President Trump must NOT return to his threats of “fire and fury.” A war with North Korea would be catastrophic. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I called for a national testing plan 6+ weeks ago. We needed decisive action from Trump but only got denial. Now states don’t have the widespread testing to safely reopen. The $25B Dems secured for testing is a start, but Trump must act with urgency. https://t.co/JmUBBmTKE1 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must fight against denial & the assertion that now is not the time when it is always the time to tell the truth about the Genocide. I'm honored to continue this fight with my friends in the Armenian community who have worked so hard for the recognition their families deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Every April, we remember the 1.5 million Armenians who perished during the Armenian Genocide. It is time for the U.S. government to join the Senate, to be on the right side of history, and officially recognize the Armenian Genocide. We must never forget. https://t.co/WxymGnHO35 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Instead of needless escalation that ratchets up the threat of a war, my Iran Diplomacy Act suggests a better approach – all sides returning to full Iran Deal compliance. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

First, Trump withdrew from the Iran Deal, opening a nuclear pathway to Iran. Now his team says the U.S. is part of the deal, to try and snap back UN sanctions. Trump can’t have his cake and eat it too on Iran policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Paycheck Protection Program is meant to be a lifeline for struggling small businesses, not an ATM for large corporations. @SenAmyKlobuchar and I are calling for strong supervision at Treasury to stop abuse and ensure money is only going to the businesses that truly need it. — PolitiTweet.org
