The people of Massachusetts and Americans across the country see that this trial was a cover-up and understand that the choice Senators must make is: duty to a corrupt President or duty to American democracy. That’s why I’ll be voting to remove. — PolitiTweet.org

From Matthew Murray in Gloucester: “I urge you, my fellow senators, to deliberate in accordance to your conscience and the oath you took when you were elected, and vote to remove this dangerous president from office.” — PolitiTweet.org

Hope Anderson in Lowell said: “We need to not only hold our leaders and ourselves accountable, but seek to maintain and repair the public’s trust.” — PolitiTweet.org

I asked my constituents what they would say in the impeachment trial. Jennifer Baker Jones of Woburn said it right: “Wednesday’s vote won’t be a vindication of Trump, but an end to the right of Congress to push back on the President — they are giving up their balance of power.” https://t.co/jlpni3blPA — PolitiTweet.org

Energized and inspired by leaders in climate action, Gina McCarthy @NRDC, Tiernan Sittenfeld @LCVoters, and Liz Perera @SierraClub. Ready to fight for climate action in 2020! Thanks for joining the Senate Climate Change Task Force Today. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration rushed to ramp up sanctions on Venezuela in pursuit of a quick foreign policy victory. Yet going far beyond our allies’ targeted measures has exacerbated the suffering of the Venezuelan people. Humanitarian concerns must be built in to our foreign policy. — PolitiTweet.org

After losing her beloved son Louis to gun violence, Tina Chéry founded the @LDBpeaceInst & has become one of the greatest forces for breaking cycles of violence in Massachusetts. She is a healer, a peace pioneer, & I’m proud she's my #SOTU guest tonight. https://t.co/nWL31dh4pB — PolitiTweet.org

With three novel coronavirus outbreaks in roughly 18 years, and considering the significant impact of this novel coronavirus, finding a vaccine that prevents all coronaviruses would be a significant development for global public health. https://t.co/HG3kM3AO2X — PolitiTweet.org

I remain deeply troubled by the manner in which CBP handled the detention & removal of Shahab Dehghani, Reihana Emami Arandi & other Iranian citizens. These serious allegations demand immediate answers. Read the full complaints: https://t.co/89lDUrLUUe https://t.co/WbORUobVyD https://t.co/p6F0o9e5KZ — PolitiTweet.org

Landmines endanger civilians, and war surgeons abhor the injuries they cause. Yet the Trump administration plans to bring back anti-personnel landmines even as 164 countries have joined the Mine Ban Treaty. I asked Secretary Esper not to reverse U.S. policy. https://t.co/fzvhtgwl4V — PolitiTweet.org

All those who voted against witnesses and documents in Trump’s impeachment trial are complicit in a cover-up. A trial is a quest for the truth. But by not pursuing all the evidence, Senate Republicans have told the American people that the truth does not matter. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

When Ebola threatened global health, President Obama appointed a biothreats czar, one person empowered to coordinate a government-wide response.   We need the same for the coronavirus. I’m calling for Trump to immediately appoint a global health chief. https://t.co/4gkehx2OeM — PolitiTweet.org

But far too many families are still affected by this pernicious disease; we must continue to invest in efforts to treat and care for people with opioid and other substance use disorders. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m encouraged by new data that suggest that fatal opioid overdoses are declining, which is only possible because federal, state, and community partners have come together to provide resources to help people struggling with opioid use disorder. https://t.co/mn50jw9WFF — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We know the Russians will try to interfere in our elections. My question to the House Managers: if President Trump is acquitted but is later found to have invited foreign interference in the 2020 election, what recourse will Congress have under Dershowitz’s impeachment standard? https://t.co/6yGLid5Bmm — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Make no mistake, block-granting Medicaid is just Trump’s latest plan to gut this vital program. More lives will be at risk with this effort to undermine the Affordable Care Act and destroy health care in America. Congress rejected this proposal before, and we must do so again. — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see growing momentum for new children and teen privacy protections online. The demand for kids’ personal information online is only increasing and @SenHawleyPress and I are committed to making our bipartisan bill to protect young people online the law of the land. — PolitiTweet.org

My Hold the LYNE Act would prohibit the research, development, production, and deployment of low-yield nuclear warheads for submarine-launched ballistic missiles. https://t.co/NvFYWMkRES — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Giving Trump more “usable” nukes is a catastrophic mistake. I’m fighting to ban these low-yield warheads & cut our entire nuclear weapon budget by $75 billion because we should invest that money in things like health care & education, not annihilation. https://t.co/tAdWMlJEBi — PolitiTweet.org
