For many Americans, community health centers are their only access point for health care. This funding will ensure that as we combat #COVID19, our Massachusetts community health centers remain an integral component of our social safety net. https://t.co/TMhZyRLyWW — PolitiTweet.org

Workers at food retailers like Instacart, Walmart, and Whole Foods are on the front lines of #COVID19. They risk their lives every day. For their safety and your own, join me in demanding these stores and workers get the guidance and resources they need. https://t.co/mAS5oIjAgR — PolitiTweet.org

.@WHO offered test kits, Trump didn’t take them up on it. The WHO declared a global pandemic, but Trump waited to declare a national emergency. Now Trump wants to scapegoat the WHO for his own failings as President by slashing U.S. resources for it. https://t.co/jznHQGoO4M — PolitiTweet.org

There are thousands of people who desperately need financial relief but don’t have an address or bank account. We cannot leave them behind. I’m joining @SenTinaSmith to call on the Treasury to ensure homeless Americans get their #COVID19 stimulus payments. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need an all hands on deck approach to combating the spread of #COVID19. But efforts by Google and others in the private sector to stop this pandemic cannot come at the expense of individuals’ personal privacy. https://t.co/sWJnQwamG5 https://t.co/HucPxExgLo — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Tony Fauci and others warn there is not enough evidence that hydroxychloroquine effectively treats #COVID19, but we have enough evidence that Donald Trump’s relationship with the manufacturer is toxic. This conflict of interest must be investigated. https://t.co/LCWk2YMCP1 — PolitiTweet.org

I again call on DHS to halt deportations of those who pose no public safety threat. https://t.co/fahk7atv7B — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m concerned about reports that ICE continues to deport immigrants during this global pandemic, especially to countries like Haiti that lack adequate public health infrastructure. https://t.co/ENNJLfVU2j — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As authoritarians exploit the pandemic to erode rule of law, we must continue to call out Beijing’s efforts to assert unlawful maritime claims in the South China Sea. The United States will not turn a blind eye to military coercion of Southeast Asian countries. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Small businesses are dealing with the chaos of #COVID19, they shouldn’t have to also deal with confusion about getting the relief Congress passed. @SenWarren & I are asking the SBA to ensure equal & easy access for small businesses, especially mom & pops. https://t.co/4YdJeVjkvB — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Massachusetts hospitals may soon run out of ventilators yet only 100 have been delivered. That’s outrageous. @SenWarren and I are demanding FEMA release ALL requested ventilators as we prepare for a #COVID19 surge that could be just days away. https://t.co/4uctqJciWz — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As unemployment claims reach historic highs and small businesses struggle to get relief, the Trump admin sees this crisis as an opportunity to redistribute wealth upwards with a capital-gains tax cut. We need to bail out workers, not the super wealthy and massive corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Gutting clean air & water rules would kill countless Americans under normal circumstances. But the Trump admin would add to the already horrifying death count of #COVID19 by using it as cover to attack environmental safeguards. @SenWarren & I want answers https://t.co/IqUfaQY170 — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has put our fishing and seafood industries in dire straits. The relief package includes $300 million in assistance and @SenWarren and I are urging that it be swiftly and equitably distributed and that voices from the fishing industry are included. https://t.co/F73k3tXlYY — PolitiTweet.org

I have long believed that replacing the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges is the only viable long-term solution for the Cape. The Army Corps has listened to our call in its final report, and we can now focus our efforts on the next phase of the project. https://t.co/yu0R1yeegw — PolitiTweet.org

The #COVID19 outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home is a tragedy that should have never been allowed to become so deadly. My thoughts are with the families, & my efforts are focused on delivering the guidance & resources needed to keep our veterans safe. https://t.co/8DqwN7kEIp — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The spike in Zoom’s user base comes with a serious responsibility to prevent malicious hacking and protect personal information. I’m not currently convinced that Zoom is fulfilling that obligation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Video conference platforms have become a staple of daily life for many Americans, including young children and students learning at home. Recent reports about the deficiencies in Zoom’s privacy practices and cyber security safeguards are very concerning. https://t.co/OUYVlNTkgM — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Veterans and millions of SSI recipients should face no obstacles in getting the financial help they desperately need during #COVID19. Proud to join @SenSherrodBrown in calling on the Treasury to ensure these vulnerable people get their stimulus checks automatically. — PolitiTweet.org

Glad DOT is finally taking some action to protect consumers from airline abuses during #COVID19. But this action only applies when airlines cancel their flights, not when travelers have to cancel on their own. We still need full CASH refunds for all flight cancellations. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

People with underlying health conditions like asthma are at a higher risk from #COVID19. The Trump EPA needs to halt all regulatory rollbacks that make air quality worse and could make people more exposed to pollution and toxic chemicals, especially as we fight this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

TV providers use a lack of transparency to gouge consumers with hidden fees to the tune of $450/year per consumer. @RepAnnaEshoo & I urge the FCC to enforce our law so consumers can know exactly what they are signing up for, & can change their mind without exorbitant penalties. https://t.co/S0lq7YotWM — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In Massachusetts and some of the areas hardest hit by #COVID19, like NY and CA, first responders rely on T-Band spectrum to communicate. The last thing we should do during this crisis is take that away. I'm fighting to ensure the next coronavirus package protects this vital tool. https://t.co/71xzRA6dZ8 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

“Accidentally” sending medical equipment and protective gear overseas while he denied the threat of #COVID19 isn’t Trump incompetence, it’s Trump criminality. Instead of mobilizing industry to make equipment, Trump makes excuses. And people are dying. https://t.co/F2XmTR7cVJ — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Gun sales are surging due to #COVID19 and overwhelming our system. @SenBlumenthal, @SenMurphyOffice, and I are calling for the FBI and ATF to immediately strengthen checks. We cannot let this public health emergency contribute to another – gun violence. https://t.co/ep0TRAlNOg — PolitiTweet.org
