Rohingya refugees who fled atrocities in Burma are already vulnerable. #COVID19 makes the situation even more dire. Denying them access to info during COVID could mean denying them life-saving services/guidance. Bangladesh should restore telecommunications access in the camps. — PolitiTweet.org

2020 marks 50 years of the Clean Air Act, which has led to major improvements in air quality, but the new #StateOfTheAir report from @LungAssociation shows that far too many still live in communities where air pollution impacts health. https://t.co/fkWkvJtB9B — PolitiTweet.org

Now more than ever, we must ensure that sick immigrants who need treatment are able to remain in the US. @SenWarren, @RepPressley, @SenBooker, & I demand the Trump admin provide answers about whether it is granting deferred action requests during #COVID19. https://t.co/tf6xfzbk3g — PolitiTweet.org

The Department of Defense was going to kick the kids of Coast Guard members out of child care centers. @SenDanSullivan and I secured equal prioritization for Coast Guard members so we can treat them and their families with the respect and care they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Millions rely on TV/radio broadcasters and local newspapers for information and entertainment. It is especially important to protect their services during an emergency like #COVID19. I’m joining @Sen_JoeManchin in a bipartisan effort to deliver relief for local media. — PolitiTweet.org

Massachusetts is a serious #COVID19 hot spot. But while some states like MN and WV received $300k per COVID case, Mass. only received $44k per case. @SenWarren and I urge HHS to ensure that in the next round of relief distribution, hot spots like Mass. get the resources we need. https://t.co/I6kVZNbU4Z — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Bright’s abrupt reassignment raises serious questions whether the Trump administration retaliated against him for advocating for science and against Trump’s misinformation. I urge the Inspector General of @HHSGov to investigate Dr. Bright’s allegations. — PolitiTweet.org

I am so inspired and motivated by all the incredible work that @RefugeesIntl does around the world—protecting those who are displaced by crises and working to prevent humanitarian disasters from occurring. Thank you so much for this honor. https://t.co/4gKnL63Mnn — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot sit on the sidelines of this fight because there are no sidelines. As the #COVID19 pandemic has made us painfully aware, global problems affect each and every one of us. Climate change will be no different, and we need each and every one of us to defeat it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

“Rather than celebrate, I am going to fight for Earth Day, in honor of its original spirit.” @CleanAirMoms has it exactly right. On #EarthDay, we cannot just celebrate the beauty of our planet, we have to commit to fighting to protect and preserve it. https://t.co/9yJLqtBLNj — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need a massive contact tracing effort to stop the spread of #COVID19. But that doesn’t mean Americans should be forced to sacrifice their privacy. I have a plan to protect your civil liberties as we undertake unprecedented contact tracing initiatives. https://t.co/9XF9D7WaQ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

To defeat #COVID19 we need expansive testing and contact tracing, and hundreds of thousands of Americans committed to national service. Pleased @ChrisCoons's legislation includes my and @ChrisVanHollen's UNITE Act to deploy an army of volunteers through programs like AmeriCorps. — PolitiTweet.org

On the 50th anniversary of #EarthDay, let's reflect on our victories and defeats in the fight for climate action, and be clear about the challenges ahead. But with the climate action army stronger than ever, I'm so hopeful that we will pass a #GreenNewDeal and save the planet. — PolitiTweet.org

The unprecedented tragedy of #COVID19 is also an unprecedented opportunity to reorganize our economy and prioritize the health of our people and planet over profit. On #EarthDay join me and @EnviroLeagueMA to discuss how we make the economic recovery a green one. More info here: — PolitiTweet.org

I plan to partner with @RepGraceMeng and introduce companion legislation in the Senate that directs billions more toward the crucial E-Rate program. We need to ensure this program is funded to close the #HomeworkGap and keep students connected during #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Months into the pandemic, Trump still hasn’t delivered necessary PPE to frontline workers. Just 24 hours after oil markets tank, he’s already drawing up a bailout. We cannot rescue reckless execs because of Trump’s corrupt priorities. We must protect workers. #NoBigOilBailout. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

If you had invested even a fraction in a pandemic response army as you wasted on your deportation army, we wouldn’t be in this crisis. Stop spreading hate and focus on stopping the spread of #COVID19. Stop wasting time on closing the border and focus on reopening the economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Given the social distancing orders, it seems near-impossible that continued construction of the Weymouth compressor station could be safe. @SenWarren and I want to know what Enbridge is doing to protect work crews and surrounding communities. @FRRACS_MA https://t.co/kd2z99LntE — PolitiTweet.org

I fought hard to make sure that assistance related to #COVID19 was available to those who often fall through the cracks, like gig workers and other independent contractors. Today, those workers can finally apply for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Hong Kong authorities just arrested more than a dozen activists and former lawmakers, including an 81-year-old lawyer known as the “Father of Democracy.” Beijing and HK authorities can’t use #Covid19 as a cover. Beijing should know the world is watching and we #StandWithHongKong. — PolitiTweet.org

With our healthcare system strained by #COVID19, patients with opioid use disorders are especially vulnerable to relapse, overdose, and death. @SenWarren, @SenatorShaheen, @SenFeinstein, @SenatorHassan, and I want them to be able to access to the lifesaving treatment they need. https://t.co/RGYZyT1hEx — PolitiTweet.org
