I'm proud to have voted to pass the Respect for Marriage Act tonight to protect marriage equality but we have so much more to do. We must codify the right to marry whoever you love and protect it fully from the extremist Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Motor vehicle deaths in the U.S. are increasing. This is unforgivable and makes us an outlier among developed nations. We need to address this safety crisis by funding programs like my Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program to ensure our roads are safe for all. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @Earthjustice: USPS received $3 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act to invest in electric vehicles, so Postmaster Dejoy, why aren't… — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Postmaster DeJoy’s decision not to use additional funding from the IRA to further electrify the postal fleet is unacceptable. We need a fleet that reduces emissions and creates good union jobs and we need it now. We're done waiting. https://t.co/dveYhX9oK1 — PolitiTweet.org

.@elonmusk could respond to my tweets but failed to respond to my letter by yesterday’s deadline and answer basic questions about Twitter verification. Congress must end the era of failed Big Tech self-regulation and pass laws that put user safety over the whims of billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As we come together to celebrate all we are thankful for, let us remember the true history of Thanksgiving and reckon with this violent colonial past. Today and every day, I am committed to building an America that lives up to the values we have long espoused but never achieved. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This holiday season I’m grateful for the wonderful staff and volunteers at the @Gr8BosFoodBank who are doing essential work to feed families all across Massachusetts. Thank you. https://t.co/toAsqBbLzD — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m glad Musk got my message and is delaying the relaunch of Twitter Blue until safeguards against impersonation are in place. But users need to know what went wrong and how they’ll fix it. @elonmusk, we’ve seen your tweets—I’ll be waiting for your response to my letter Friday. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am grateful for my partners in Congress @RepCori and @RepMaloney who fought hard for the release of this tool and for strong Justice40 implementation, and the environmental justice leaders and experts around the country who have lead the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

After hearing from advocates and getting funding I fought for in the IRA, CEQ has strengthened and released a new tool to map environmental and economic injustice in communities across the country. This is a big win. Now, we can get IRA benefits to communities in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Just days after the devastating shooting in Colorado Springs, I am once again heartbroken by the news of this latest horrific attack at the Chesapeake Walmart. These families should be celebrating with their loved ones not mourning their loss. Enough is enough. Congress must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

With nearly 4 million people traveling through our airports this Thanksgiving, @SenatorCantwell, @SenBlumenthal, and I call on @USDOT to strengthen its ticket refunds rule and require airlines to cover costs like hotels and meals for cancelled flights due to airline fault. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

RT @POTUS: I'm confident that our student debt relief plan is legal. But it’s on hold because Republican officials want to block it. That'… — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The @FIFAWorldCup is in Qatar where homosexuality is illegal, religious freedom is limited, workers have few rights, and speech is restricted. These restrictions are impacting fans and players. I am with the brave individuals refusing to be silenced. https://t.co/b8zEhtfG4o — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This weekend we saw yet another hate-filled shooting with an assault weapon that killed five people and injured 25 others. The Senate must pass an assault weapons ban and take action to stop these horrific attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It was an honor to join Horizons for Homeless Children, @MayorWu, and so many other leaders for today’s announcement of $13 million in funding to support teachers in our childcare workforce. When we invest in our child caregivers we commit to a brighter future for all. https://t.co/HVuwUCU1U9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The holiday season is right around the corner, and that means deliveries. I'm calling on the @USPS to electrify 95% of the postal fleet, reducing emissions and creating good union jobs. With $3 billion delivered by the Inflation Reduction Act, a 40% commitment isn't enough. https://t.co/jRZqfPea8F — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m horrified by the news of last night’s shooting in Colorado Springs. On Transgender Day of Remembrance, I mourn the victims and send love to the Club Q community. We must confront hate and bigotry in all its forms and act to end our country’s shameful epidemic of gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The CVAA was a landmark piece of legislation, but it's time for an update. The Communications, Technology, and Video Accessibility Act will provide opportunity, independence, and inclusion for all Americans now and in the future. https://t.co/0RopUuMxsZ — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Twitter is already on privacy probation and we're seeing fresh chaos every day. That's why I'm joining @SenBlumenthal in asking the @FTC to investigate any breach of Twitter’s consent decree or other violations. No company is above the law and Twitter must answer to the FTC. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Thank you, @SpeakerPelosi, legislative legend, unmatched in accomplishment, climate action hall of famer. We are forever grateful for your historic leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need to update the laws on the books so that we can meet the technological moment and ensure opportunity, independence, and equal access for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

My bill will amend the CVAA and ensure that people with disabilities have full access to mainstream communication products and services while laying the foundation for an accessible future. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Technology has changed a lot in the 12 years since I authored the CVAA. But our obligation to make sure that everyone has equal access to the services and technologies they need hasn't. That's why I'm proud to introduce the Communications, Video, and Technology Accessibility Act. https://t.co/1JnnkVj57Q — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The science is clear—increasing access to methadone will save lives. Pass the Opioid Treatment Access Act now. https://t.co/iTBO8ipuQR — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

That's right. And that's why the Senate needs to pass my Right to Contraception Act to make sure that everyone has access to this essential care. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I welcome news that the U.S. has taken a long overdue step towards accountability by opening a criminal investigation into the Israeli army killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. I echo her family's calls that it be thorough, credible, and independent. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I voted for the Respect for Marriage Act to protect marriage equality. But we still have so much work to do, to codify the right to marry whoever you love and to protect LGBTQ+ and Black and Brown Americans whose rights the right-wing Supreme Court is threatening. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

With the Emergency Connectivity Fund short on funds, the Digital Divide risks turning into a Digital Cliff. @ChrisVanHollen, @RepGraceMeng, and I are calling on Congress to replenish the Fund and make sure students don't lose internet access. https://t.co/M5uSgZNxTH — PolitiTweet.org
