No one should have their power shut off during #COVID19. This is a national life-or-death emergency. I’m introducing legislation to support imposing an immediate, nationwide moratorium on gas and electric service disconnections, late fees, rate hikes, and other penalties. https://t.co/JJtZcpGXoZ — PolitiTweet.org

No Medicare recipients should be denied telehealth access at this perilous times simply because they lack video-conferencing capabilities. CMS must allow providers to bill Medicare for telehealth services provided by audio-only communications equipment. https://t.co/OE1D23nyVZ — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has fundamentally changed students’ education, but it must not stop their education. Kids still need to learn during this crisis. I’m fighting to close the #HomeworkGap and ensure EVERY K-12 student can learn remotely. https://t.co/dFfYXP7c1N — PolitiTweet.org

Using the Defense Production Act to produce ventilators, masks, & medical gear, protects our frontline workers & all American workers who want to stop the spread of #COVID19. Trump & the Chamber of Commerce must stop their opposition. Use the full authority of the DPA. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Now that the Trump admin has recognized Massachusetts’s disaster declaration, it needs to deliver urgently needed resources. Our cities, towns, communities, and people have stepped up to fight #COVID19 and I will continue to work with them to get the assistance they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We cannot afford to refuse help as we respond to #COVID19. @RepPressley and I, along with the entire Mass. delegation, are leading the charge to lift visa restrictions and allow thousands of foreign doctors, scientists, and medical workers to help us. https://t.co/boiuBkLqNc — PolitiTweet.org

Retina-X Studios clearly failed to meet that statutory standard. I am pleased that the FTC is holding this company accountable, but the Commission missed an opportunity to say loud and clear that if you fail to keep kids’ data secure, you’ll pay a steep price. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Make no mistake: COPPA does more than require companies to tell parents about their information practices and get permission from parents to collect children’s data. It also, critically, requires companies to keep any kids’ data they collect secure. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Children are a uniquely vulnerable population online, and inappropriate or unauthorized use of their personal information can result in real harm. Luckily, we have a federal law on the books to protect kids’ privacy. https://t.co/EBCFrjmbz5 — PolitiTweet.org

Massachusetts small businesses are fighting for their economic survival as they are forced to close through no fault of their own. The #COVID19 stimulus provides billions of dollars in important relief to keep small businesses afloat during this crisis. https://t.co/AVbFyUK8Yr — PolitiTweet.org

About time. Now, tell us every day: which companies will be making more of this equipment, how much is being made, and where the equipment is going. Our nurses, doctors, first responders, hospitals, and governors deserve this information every single day. https://t.co/Tvgym1MmX9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The people of Massachusetts are aggressively responding to #COVID19. The entire Congressional delegation is demanding the Trump administration immediately recognize our disaster declaration so we can get critically-needed federal support. https://t.co/5Q8ZmE8zjN — PolitiTweet.org

Americans are going to die because of Trump’s denial. This is criminal. Mobilize industry now to make the ventilators, respirators, makes and other protective gear our hospitals need. FULLY USE THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT. Stop spreading lies and do your job. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It is entirely unclear whether, and if so, how, FEMA and this Administration are intending to use the Defense Production Act, even as the chorus of pleas for its invocation from around the country grow louder with each passing day. #COVID19 https://t.co/1GdLvmokGZ — PolitiTweet.org

Internet access should not be just a privilege – so many children across this country struggle to get the access they need to learn online during the coronavirus crisis. We need to make equal internet access a right and close the #HomeworkGap. https://t.co/bXEBSck8Wl — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This will not be the last relief package that our families, workers, and economy will need as this pandemic grows. I will continue to fight so that future relief efforts protect our workers, our families, and our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Democrats fought tooth and nail, and we were successful in securing worker retention protections, larger direct payments to families, expanded small business relief, support for our beleaguered hospitals, and much-needed transparency for the $500 billion corporate fund. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The coronavirus stimulus is far from perfect, but families, workers, and small businesses are desperate for help right now and the resources in this package will support countless Americans. #COVIDー19 https://t.co/FmX0dr32UP — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We can’t let government agencies or companies abuse the #COVIDー19 crisis to pry into the American public’s privacy. People have a right to personal privacy, pandemic health crisis or not. https://t.co/I1hWtWNxGO — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The coronavirus stimulus package isn’t perfect. But I worked like hell to provide more to those who need it most: -Expanded unemployment insurance for gig workers -Direct payment to families -Small business relief -Hospital support -Transparency on $500 billion corporate fund — PolitiTweet.org
