@SenWarren @SenDuckworth @SenatorLeahy @SenJeffMerkley @RonWyden @ChrisVanHollen The destruction of Iranian cultural heritage is morally wrong, a violation of international law, and would destroy years of American diplomacy. #NoWarWithlran — PolitiTweet.org

Attacking cultural sites is a war crime and Trump’s threats are a new low. I’m introducing a resolution that makes clear that Congress will not stand for the U.S. overturning international law and aligning ourselves with terrorists who engage in this kind of terrible destruction. https://t.co/amIO69Jlhx — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Trump must obtain Congress’s express authorization for the use of military force. We must not get drawn into a war with Iran. #NoWarWithIran — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Trump’s disregard for the lives of our U.S. servicemembers, civilians, and allies with his dangerous escalation of conflict with Iran has put our people in the direct line of fire. I’m deeply concerned with reports of missile attacks in Iraq. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

“Therefore be it resolved by the Senate, that attacks on cultural sites are war crimes.” That's the resolution Republicans just objected to passing.  Attacking cultural sites in Iran would align us with the most sinister forces and draw us further down the path to illegal war. https://t.co/A6L8TGrTSY — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

On the Senate floor asking for passage of my resolution that says one simple thing: “attacks on cultural sites are war crimes.” Will Republicans join & condemn war crimes, or object & lend legitimacy to Trump’s threat to illegally attack Iran?

I stand w/ @AFGENational and the public employees at the EPA, and support the EPA Workers’ Bill of Rights. These workers are the front-line fighters of climate change and environmental pollution. The EPA must come to the table and give EPA workers the fair contract they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Just because a release of methane of this magnitude is not readily visible, that does not mean that it is less damaging to our climate and environment. If there are no consequences for major leaks like this, there will be no incentive for oil and gas companies to avoid them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

If this were an oil spill, Exxon & its subsidiaries would face financial & legal consequences. I'll be introducing legislation to levy fines on oil & gas companies that release substantial amounts of methane into the air, similar to oil spill penalties. https://t.co/Zzhm3OZM8d — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Deliberate destruction of cultural heritage is a war crime. In addition to cruelly punishing innocent people, destroying mosques, shrines, tombs, historic cities and other sites important to Iranian culture would be an irreparable loss for ALL of humanity. It cannot be justified. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Republicans have said they want fact witnesses with direct knowledge of Trump’s abuse of power. Now they have it. Fair trials have witnesses. Leader McConnell needs to take yes for an answer and allow Bolton – and any other admin officials –  to testify in the impeachment trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Another story that proves Boeing didn’t prioritize safety when it designed the 737 MAX. Boeing and the FAA should have provided this level of scrutiny BEFORE the plane was put into service and 346 lives were lost. https://t.co/QV1tJb3Qxi — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Fiorentini is politically hard-wired to lead Haverhill, and I believe he will continue to be one of the greatest mayors this wonderful city has ever known. Congratulations on your swearing-in. https://t.co/JAmSTjORfK — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Not only does this State Dept transcript further undermine the Trump administration’s claim about the “imminent” threat from Soleimani, it reveals the administration’s contempt for transparency & the American people’s right to know why they are being led into a new war with Iran. https://t.co/1xWmJDb7on — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Congress is the only entity that can authorize military force. We cannot and must not get drawn into war with Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Trump’s apparent assassination of Soleimani is a massive, deliberate, and dangerous escalation of conflict with Iran. The President just put the lives of every person in the region - U.S. service members and civilians - at immediate risk. We need de-escalation now. — PolitiTweet.org

Until menthol e-cigarettes are banned, e-cigarettes will continue to cause more Americans, and especially children, to become addicted to nicotine. I call on the FDA to fully confront the teen vaping epidemic and ban all flavored e-cigarettes, including menthol e-cigarettes. — PolitiTweet.org

As California's new privacy law takes effect, Congress should give ALL Americans a strong privacy bill of rights, including heightened safeguards for children and teens. It's time for privacy and data protection to come before corporate profits. https://t.co/KGFoQ6lPEj — PolitiTweet.org

President Duterte is sorely mistaken if he thinks he can silence my voice. He has already failed to silence @SenLeiladeLima and others who have spoken truth to power. I stand with the people of the Philippines in fighting against his strongman tactics. https://t.co/IZ5udRHZgu — PolitiTweet.org
