This Thanksgiving, let’s remember something that should never be on the table: the well-being of our cranberry farmers. @SenWarren, @RepJoeKennedy, @USRepKeating and I urge the Trump admin to show thanks for these farmers and this industry and provide relief from Chinese tariffs. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans need a set of strong, enforceable rights that protect us from privacy invasions. I look forward to working with my colleagues to enact a comprehensive federal privacy bill, which must include heightened protections for children and teens. https://t.co/Pg82F2EHGd — PolitiTweet.org

We have to cut emissions now—5x faster than we promised in Paris—in order to protect the promise of a livable future. The science is clearer than ever. The solutions are cheaper than ever. What this country needs is the political will. We need a #GreenNewDeal, and we need it now. — PolitiTweet.org

The district court defended our democracy by compelling McGahn’s testimony. The higher courts must continue to do so and reject the notion of absolute immunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This ruling will now almost certainly go before the Supreme Court where McGahn’s hand-picked Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, and the other Justices, will make a decision of immeasurable consequence: no one is above the law, or nothing is below this President. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This legislation is about targeted & tailored penalties, not sanctioning countries. It sends a message to companies about to fund the dirtiest coal plants & officials who promote systematic deforestation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The U.S. already restricts financial access for individuals & companies involved in cybercrime, corruption, and wildlife trafficking. The same policy tool should be one part of our comprehensive effort to fight climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Companies & individuals most responsible for the climate crisis won’t change behavior until we change their bottom lines. As we fight for a #GreenNewDeal at home, I’m introducing legislation to enhance our foreign policy & deter the worst climate abuses. https://t.co/Ddptv8ETQc — PolitiTweet.org

Record turnout for district elections in #HongKong and support for pro-democracy candidates show how badly people want to be heard. But much work lies ahead: the system still doesn’t fully grant the people the rights and freedoms they deserve. https://t.co/oPO8QYDUvk — PolitiTweet.org

Great news that a jury has acquitted humanitarian Scott Warren and he can continue his admirable work. Those designing and implementing the Trump administration’s inhumane immigration policies should be on trial, not those saving lives like Scott. https://t.co/G2jae99ge0 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, this morning: "We have to stand with Hong Kong, but I’m also standing with President Xi.” If Trump vetoes the Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act, Congress must override. Trump may have promised Xi his silence on #HongKong, but we didn't. #StandWithHongKong — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Marches, strikes, sit-ins, and civil disobedience like @JaneFonda’s #FireDrillFriday’s are the direct action that is mobilizing and organizing people across the nation for climate action. It makes a difference, and it’s building the army that we need to achieve a #GreenNewDeal. https://t.co/2GER1f9sQC — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, Massachusetts is leading on public health by banning flavored tobacco products and menthol cigarettes. This is going to save lives. We should follow Massachusetts’s lead and do this nationwide. https://t.co/P9XD90ALZv — PolitiTweet.org

If @Tesla's Autopilot can be tricked with an orange, then it’s a lemon on safety. We need to make sure that “driver assistance” systems can’t be hacked into unauthorized “driver replacement” technologies. I’ve called on Tesla and NHTSA to fix Autopilot’s safety flaws immediately. https://t.co/hwdmSFMXyp — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Republicans just objected to passing the resolution affirming U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide. We must stop stalling. America should honor lives lost and reiterate that history cannot be denied. The United States can and must be on the right side of history. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil gets handout after handout straight from the pockets of the American people, all to fuel our fossil fuel addiction that is driving the climate crisis. It’s time to stop treating oil and gas companies like tax royalty and close this free drilling loophole once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

At least 22 transgender and gender non-conforming people were murdered this year alone, most of them trans women of color. We can honor the lives of those we’ve lost by committing to action, which is why I’ll keep fighting to pass my Gay and Trans Panic Defense Prohibition Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today and every day, we must value and protect the lives of transgender and gender non-conforming people. Transgender individuals in the U.S. and around the world should never have to face violence and threats based solely on who they are. #TransDayofRemembrance #TDoR2019 — PolitiTweet.org

The top ten airlines worldwide collected $35.2 billion in ancillary fees in 2018, up from just $1.2 billion in 2007. With the Thanksgiving travel season upon us, I am proud to reintroduce the FAIR Fees Act so we can put a stop to this price gouging. https://t.co/CJv5uxLFwG — PolitiTweet.org

Whether you know it or not, your neighbor’s Ring doorbell may be recording video of your kids playing on the sidewalk. When the police get that footage – and they do – Ring has no rules against them sharing it or holding it indefinitely without security safeguards. Unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
