Some websites and apps are built in ways that harm children. Voluntary improvements are good, but I’ve introduced a bill to prohibit online design features that manipulate children. With kids stuck at home and spending more time on screens, this is urgent. https://t.co/S3Tu9Fprjg — PolitiTweet.org

State and municipal leaders in Massachusetts have responded to #COVID19 heroically, but they are in dire need of reinforcement. We need the interim emergency package to include funds to ensure our local leaders on the front lines have the resources to protect lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Have you experienced a job change and no longer have health insurance through work? Massachusetts Health Connector has an extended enrollment for uninsured residents through May 25. Apply by April 23 for coverage that starts May 1. https://t.co/ZcrXU6oPQK — PolitiTweet.org

Assisting U.S. citizens overseas must be the number one priority of the State Department during the pandemic. Thank you Chairman @JoaquinCastrotx for your partnership on this legislation to improve protection of U.S. citizens and nationals overseas. https://t.co/7wfTrpj2Zp — PolitiTweet.org

Airlines get a bailout, but their customers get a voucher? No way. It’s time for the airlines to cough up cash refunds so that families can use that money for bills, rent, mortgage payments, and staying afloat during the #COVID19 crisis. https://t.co/1JSWo980qM — PolitiTweet.org

We aren’t doing enough testing to safely reopen the country. As unemployment soars, millions of Americans are ready to serve. Congress must pass my UNITE Act to expand and deploy an army of volunteers to assist with #COVID19 testing, contact tracing, and help those in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Mercury. Lead. Arsenic. During a pandemic where bad air has been linked to more #COVID19 deaths, the Trump admin is undercutting efforts to get chemicals out of our air and lungs. This admin isn’t serious about saving lives, only about saving its relationship with Big Coal. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

More than 330,00 DACA & TPS recipients are on the front lines of the #COVID19 crisis, risking their safety to help the people of this country. Deporting them would be beyond cruel and hurt our response. @SenatorDurbin and I urge the President to extend their work authorizations. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

At a time when many of us are feeling the pain of being separated from our loved ones, I’m proud to have fought with @SenAmyKlobuchar to make calling free for inmates. The incarcerated are especially vulnerable during #COVID19 & don’t deserve extra costs. https://t.co/gbhX0RFegh — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m proud to have helped secure over $171 million in emergency relief for Massachusetts airports. This funding will keep hardworking aviation workers on the job, while ensuring that our essential hubs for travel and commerce are ready to resume operations when #COVID19 subsides. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The fuel industry should receive exactly $0 from the #COVID19 relief package, but Trump is listening to the pleas of lobbyists instead of workers. @RepBarragan and I are fighting to make sure CARES Act funds go to workers, not to bail out big oil. #NoBigOilBailout https://t.co/Xl0rqTViuQ — PolitiTweet.org

RT @RepBarragan: #COVID19 relief funds should go to #PeopleNotPolluters. Today, @SenMarkey & I led a letter w/ 39 colleagues opposing any… — PolitiTweet.org

Venezuela is undergoing a devastating human rights crisis which the onset of #COVID19 could make catastrophic. Yet the Trump administration has inexcusably failed to protect the approximately 200,000 Venezuelan nationals who could benefit from TPS in the U.S. #VenezuelaTPSNow — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Passing stimulus relief doesn’t help anyone if we can’t actually get cash to these struggling small businesses. Any #COVID19 package must include the resources the SBA needs to deliver small businesses $10,000 emergency grants within the promised 72 hours. https://t.co/a79UG68IzS — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It’s hard to tell which one Donald Trump cares about less: the world, health, or organization. But one thing is clear, Trump is blaming WHO because he mismanaged our #COVID19 response. The millions of people whose lives are at stake cannot afford these political games. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Although I’m glad that the Treasury is finally cutting checks for airline employees, I’m disappointed the terms will require repayment for some of the payroll grants. The Trump admin is unnecessarily endangering jobs. I’ll fight to ensure future COVID relief puts workers first. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The #COVID19 pandemic is exposing existing racial and economic health disparities caused by centuries of systemic racism and we cannot emerge from this crisis without addressing them. I’m joining @SenWarren on legislation to collect the demographic data we need to justly respond. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Countries must not use #COVID19 as a cover to persecute LGBTI people. I denounce these attempts by the Ugandan government to target the LGBTI community and call on the Ugandan government to immediately release people who have been wrongfully imprisoned. https://t.co/hV046iTPo9 — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration must restart American assistance to help in the #COVID19 response in the West Bank and Gaza. Humanitarian organizations and UNRWA can provide lifesaving assistance with U.S. funds. https://t.co/H9l06Wuh34 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As Trump continuously rants & lies about #COVID19, trusted scientific voices like Dr. Fauci’s are needed more than ever. Fauci must be protected. I’m introducing legislation to prevent Trump from firing Fauci or other NIH directors for political reasons. https://t.co/c8SPizfpsb — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Shame on Trump. Letting the U.S. Postal Service fall victim to the #COVID19 crisis would be disgraceful. USPS and all of its workers are essential and on the front lines. They deliver food, medicine, and hope. We must fund the Postal Service. https://t.co/67LEAIp5qn — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Americans stand ready and waiting to help in the #COVID19 pandemic response. That’s why @ChrisVanHollen and I are introducing the UNITE Act to mobilize the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, and all of our volunteer workforce programs to assist vulnerable Americans. https://t.co/HxVoG4aUwI — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

For every one drive-through #COVID19 testing site in America there are now ~100 gun stores that can offer drive-through sales. That’s insane. We need drive-through testing, not drive-through gun sales. And we need answers about this reckless guidance. https://t.co/P1sS5eRJXr — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Sanctions programs are not successful if they prevent basic humanitarian assistance. @RepAndyLevin and I are introducing legislation to break down barriers to lifesaving aid for North Korean civilians. https://t.co/kCoXhXIvmG — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The IRS says if you don’t have a bank account, you may not receive your stimulus check until August, but our emergency is right now. @SenWarren and I are calling on the IRS to get paper checks out ASAP. Americans need relief regardless of banking status. https://t.co/yhAlsJviIQ — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The President claims we have the best #COVID19 testing system in the world, but the reality is we have a shortage of supplies and no plan to solve it. We don’t need Trump’s rants, we need a plan to prevent shortages and transparency from the CDC, like I called for weeks ago. https://t.co/bf3cu9kWIR — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It is tragically clear how unprepared the Trump admin was to respond to #COVID19. @RepAdamSchiff, @SenFeinstein, @SenKamalaHarris, @SenBlumenthal, and I will introduce legislation to establish a 9/11 Commission-style panel to investigate what went wrong and how we can do better. — PolitiTweet.org
