My bill will require companies to report their emissions and conduct a comprehensive impact study—we’ll know where they are and what harm they do to our planet and health. — PolitiTweet.org

Big-money cryptomining companies are undermining decades of climate action with their carbon emissions. We must hold them accountable. I'm introducing the Crypto-Asset Environmental Transparency Act to do just that. https://t.co/kfbP6VsG4u — PolitiTweet.org

I’m so glad that Brittney Griner is on the way home to her family. Her unjustified detention by Russia never should have happened. I will continue to advocate to bring wrongfully detained Americans home. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm glad my Taiwan Fellowship Act is included in the NDAA. At this crucial moment in the U.S.-Taiwan friendship, it is essential that we establish a fellowship exchange program to deepen our long-lasting partnership and allow American public servants to work and live in Taiwan. — PolitiTweet.org

We have to build on the investments made in the Inflation Reduction Act by engaging with directly impacted communities, remedying past damages, and securing environmental justice—not ignoring their calls for a better system in favor of adopting a worse one. — PolitiTweet.org

I won’t back a deal to make it easier for Big Oil to harm frontline communities already bearing the burden of climate change. We need a clean energy revolution, not fast-tracked fossil fuel. This permitting reform deal shouldn’t be in the NDAA or any must-pass legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

On the 157th anniversary of the banning of slavery by the 13th Amendment, a racist loophole allows it to continue as "punishment for a crime." Let me be clear—there is legal slavery right now in our prisons and it's unacceptable. Congress must pass the Abolition Amendment now. — PolitiTweet.org

This is great news. The Biden administration answered our call to extend and redesignate TPS for Haitians in the U.S. Now, we must continue to support newly arrived Haitians and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

We are in an overdose crisis, and the passage of the Opioid Treatment Access Act can be the difference between life and death – reducing barriers and making staying in recovery easier. I need my colleagues to step up and pass this bill. https://t.co/oK0Z2Hc4Go — PolitiTweet.org

The climate crisis is the greatest challenge of our time. It was an honor to welcome @KensingtonRoyal’s to Boston as they recognized the 2022 Earthshot Prize recipients. It will take a global commitment to climate action to secure a livable future for all. https://t.co/RvL5RsHjAM — PolitiTweet.org

I am so glad that the clean energy revolution has arrived and we are moving full speed ahead towards all-electric vehicles, but we must ensure that automakers don't sacrifice the benefits of free broadcast AM radio that’s critical for communication in times of emergency. https://t.co/8BYnzt3YxA — PolitiTweet.org

I'm glad that the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe has been awarded over $9 million to expand broadband connectivity to more than 100 unserved tribal homes and businesses. I will keep fighting to ensure that everyone has access to this essential service. https://t.co/WzzoBBGV3i — PolitiTweet.org

Sea levels are rising. Medical centers are overwhelmed. The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over and cybersecurity loopholes put individuals and businesses at risk. Congress must deliver more NSF funding to make sure we can face these existential challenges. https://t.co/eQoTZiyEBl — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to join my colleagues in calling for the long-overdue release of Leonard Peltier, a native rights activist who has been forced to spend more than half of his life behind bars. @POTUS must grant him clemency. https://t.co/zfOMUaYVSN — PolitiTweet.org

Rohingya refugees have suffered immeasurable harm while escaping violence in Burma only to arrive in host countries where they still lack access to formal education. The U.S. must work with Bangladesh to improve educational opportunities for Rohingya refugees. https://t.co/RC30U4BXjR — PolitiTweet.org

On World AIDS Day, we honor the lives lost to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with a commitment to achieve access to high-quality, inclusive health care for all, especially for Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ communities most impacted by HIV/AIDS. It's past time to achieve an AIDS-free future. — PolitiTweet.org

Construction of the East Boston electric substation would be an environmental injustice. This project jeopardizes the health and safety of East Boston and Chelsea residents. I'll keep fighting to ensure decisions are rooted in community involvement, sound science, and justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Rail workers have fought on the front lines of the pandemic and kept our trains on track through unprecedented challenges—all while receiving zero days of paid sick leave. This is unacceptable. The Senate must quickly take up House-passed language to support these workers. — PolitiTweet.org

No student should be denied an education because of their disability, yet some students face involuntary medical leaves of absence that can make it harder to get their college degree. I'm calling on the Biden admin to take action and address this issue. https://t.co/kP3uax3F0d — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad Holtec has committed to follow its regulatory requirements and pursue a modification to its discharge permit. I will continue to hold Holtec accountable to the commitments it has made to the community and work to ensure there is no unsafe discharge into Cape Cod Bay. — PolitiTweet.org
