I met with TPS recipients from Massachusetts to hear about how the Trump admin has put their futures in limbo. They shouldn’t have to live in constant fear of deportation. I’ll continue to fight to pass Sen. @ChrisVanHollen's SECURE Act to provide them a pathway to citizenship. https://t.co/oGp8RZGSkR — PolitiTweet.org

By amplifying the debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election, Republicans are aiding a Russian disinformation campaign. They should look at the facts and listen to our senior officials: there is no evidence of Ukrainian election interference. — PolitiTweet.org

These additional work requirements will rip away SNAP benefits from hundreds of thousands, including tens of thousands in Massachusetts. Means testing food stamps isn’t about responsibility, it’s about cruelly and cynically weakening the social safety net. https://t.co/Ko4PPBKjef — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I applaud the House passage of the TRACED Act, my legislation with @SenJohnThune that cracks down on robocalls. I expect quick passage in the Senate so that Americans can finally get the relief they deserve from these harassing and fraudulent calls. https://t.co/qHgI1x9Bsk — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the Senate will vote on the nomination of Sarah Pitlyk, a radically anti-choice activist, to a federal judgeship. Throughout her career, she has attacked reproductive rights and she would do even more damage from a lifetime seat on the federal bench. I will vote no. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time to stop incentivizing dirty energy technologies and start incentivizing the clean ones that work. Thank you to the leaders who are fighting to extend clean energy tax credits and ensure a renewable energy future. @AWEA @SEIA @storage_ESA @LCVoters https://t.co/u3Qtk3WQ6f — PolitiTweet.org

As global carbon emissions hit a record high in 2019, our best hope is that the number of people mobilized to fight for climate action is also hitting a record high in 2019. We need to transform the political climate and achieve a #GreenNewDeal. https://t.co/loyFB7KTp2 — PolitiTweet.org

Homeland Security is trying to force every American traveling through our airports to subject themselves to facial recognition tech. That’s an outrageous invasion of privacy. I’ll soon be introducing legislation to stop this intrusive surveillance program. https://t.co/LkIojE5l3h — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The flu kills thousands of Americans every year. A vaccine that works against all strains would be a breakthrough & would save lives. That’s why I’m fighting to pass my legislation to boost @NIH funding to $1 billion for research into a universal vaccine. https://t.co/ZI8IF76B3X — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Corporations should not be allowed to exploit the work schedules of their part-time employees. Proud to join @SenWarren and Rep. @JanSchakowsky on this legislation that will empower part-time workers and help protect them from abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

This would amount to disturbing government coercion. The recent data breach at CBP shows Homeland Security cannot be trusted to keep our information secure. I will soon introduce legislation to ensure that innocent Americans are never forced to hand over facial recognition info. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Will Trump’s newly confirmed Secretary of Energy rubber stamp a U.S. nuclear cooperation agreement that could reward Saudi Arabia’s disregard for human rights and fast-track its quest for nuclear weapons? We need answers from Secretary Brouillette. https://t.co/BgQ3NpyRx2 — PolitiTweet.org

Eversource is moving forward with its plan to build an electrical substation in East Boston that will be within 800 feet of 8 million gallons of jet fuel and across the street from a playground. The State Energy Facilities Siting Board must reassess its approval of this decision: https://t.co/dWy76ziO0b — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to have @AmnestyUSA’s endorsement of the Turkey Human Rights and Promotion Act, which I intro'd w/ @RonWyden. We’re building a coalition to shine a light on Erdogan’s systematic repression in Turkey, and there’s no better partner than the human rights champions at Amnesty. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Preserving emergency personnel’s access to T-Band spectrum isn’t a partisan issue. I commend @AjitPaiFCC for joining the coalition calling on Congress to protect the T-Band. Congress should pass my Don’t Break Up the T-Band Act before the end of the year. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It’s unacceptable that TSA invaded Americans’ privacy w/ its Quiet Skies program. And a new report casts doubt on whether the program actually keeps travelers safe. This holiday travel season, you shouldn’t have to worry about your safety OR your privacy. https://t.co/l3ug6rgAcf — PolitiTweet.org

People who joke about using nuclear weapons to commit war crimes should not hold senior positions anywhere in our government, and certainly not in the State Department's arms control bureau. https://t.co/ObvC3CPBHG — PolitiTweet.org

Making the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act law demonstrates continued U.S. support for the rights and freedoms all Hongkongers deserve. We stand with you. #StandWithHongKong — PolitiTweet.org

Just since 2017, super-charged natural disasters have cost the U.S. at least $400 billion in damage. Every single American is already paying the price for climate inaction. Reinforcing bad faith narratives about #GreenNewDeal cost only helps climate change deniers. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

A Canadian company is rushing to build a natural gas compressor station in the middle of a MA neighborhood, just so it can export gas overseas. Weymouth shouldn't be put at risk for foreign fossil fuel profits. I'll continue to stand with the communities fighting this project. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Americans received more robocalls last month than ever in history. The plague of robocalls has gone on far too long and I’m proud that we’re on the cusp of enacting a law that will give real relief to American consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m so grateful for Massachusetts’s rich diversity and the incredible advocates and allies who will never stop fighting to defend it.

Proud to help secure over $500,000 in federal funding that @WalthamFireDept will use to acquire firefighter breathing apparatuses. This equipment will help these brave first responders keep the Waltham community safe and secure. https://t.co/nNJZUL0Rhq — PolitiTweet.org
