I’m introducing legislation to ban the natural gas compressor in Weymouth and ANY compressor station that would export gas overseas. Proud to stand with @FRRACS_MA and all of the residents who are fighting for the health and safety of their communities. https://t.co/o5ofvveZKp — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump must be investigated for quietly making corrupt requests of foreign governments. But there also should be consequences for openly and shamelessly empowering autocrats, especially when doing so fuels one of the worst humanitarian disasters in memory. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration’s response since then? Absolve MBS, continue to support Saudi Arabia's abhorrent campaign in Yemen, sell the Saudis billions in arms to extend their atrocities, and negotiate to sell them nuclear technology. — PolitiTweet.org

A year ago today, journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi was brutally assassinated by Saudi intelligence agents taking orders from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, a court issued an opinion on the repeal of #NetNeutrality that left the future of the internet as we know it in question. I’ll be on @Reddit_AMA @ 1pm EST w/ advocates & experts to answer your questions about this decision & keeping the fight going for internet freedom — PolitiTweet.org

Workers at Fidelity House CRC in Lawrence and Haverhill stood together, fought for higher wages, and won. I was proud to join them on the picket line this weekend. Congratulations to the health care workers of @SEIU509 on their new agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

And I’m proud to have these incredible advocates’ support in the effort to pass my GRACE Act, which will prevent any president from admitting fewer than 95,000 refugees annually. We are together in the fight to make America live up to its promise to be a moral leader. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

.@MIRACoalition and @OxfamAmerica are beacons of hope to refugees around the world. Thank you for hosting me today to discuss how we can fight the Trump administration’s decision to slash the admissions ceiling to an inhumane 18,000 refugees. You will always have my support. https://t.co/UUlBOYdvIO — PolitiTweet.org

It is more imperative than ever that Congress enacts my Save the Internet Act to restore #NetNeutrality. I call on Leader McConnell to stop the obstruction and bring this legislation to a vote. The future of the internet as we know it depends on it. https://t.co/73b3KChtLv — PolitiTweet.org

3: It increases the urgency for Congress to pass the Save the Internet Act and make net neutrality the law of the land once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

2: It calls the Trump FCC out for not considering how its repeal of net neutrality will affect public safety and low-income Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

1: It allows states across the county to pass their own net neutrality laws. That’s a big win. We will undoubtedly see activists and organizers across the country push their states to enact strong net neutrality rules. I look forward to standing with them in this fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C Circuit issued an opinion on the FCC’s repeal of #NetNeutrality that leaves the future of the free and open internet in question. The decision is mixed, but it does three things. THREAD: — PolitiTweet.org

China marks 70 years of Communist Party rule with new missiles meant to coerce. But its muscle-flexing can’t hide efforts to erase minority cultures and repress #HongKong democracy. I welcome a prosperous China, but people deserve human rights and freedom. https://t.co/oWNGWTaX5P — PolitiTweet.org

The #HydeAmendment disproportionately denies low-income people from accessing critical reproductive health services. How much money someone makes should have no impact on if they can get the medical care they need. Repro freedom is a right, not a political game. #BeBoldEndHyde — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Critics say the #GreenNewDeal is too ambitious, too big, too fast. But just 7 months after @AOC and I intro'd the GND, it has gone from just an idea to an electoral asset. If we fight for transformative change instead of apologizing for it, we’ll win. https://t.co/Xdg12IMqVI — PolitiTweet.org

America has the capacity and should be the global leader in resettlement, and that means equally responding to climate-displaced individuals as we do refugees. https://t.co/JHXxjgjTSO — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Many climate-displaced persons do not meet the definition of refugee under U.S. law and cannot access resettlement opportunities in the U.S. We cannot allow them to fall through the cracks just because they don't meet the definition of refugee. https://t.co/EJyrnUb1TD — PolitiTweet.org

Women, children, Indigenous people, and people of color are the most likely to be affected by climate migration, making them even more vulnerable to conflict, violence, and persecution. https://t.co/AstJh4jXMM — PolitiTweet.org

Populations continue to experience climate-induced disruptions, including weather-related disasters, drought, famine, and rising sea levels, and without intervention, this crisis will become a catastrophe. https://t.co/IpFAxZB2Ap — PolitiTweet.org

The climate crisis is fueling an humanitarian crisis around the world. My new legislation will create both a global climate resilience strategy and a new humanitarian program for those who have been displaced by environmental disasters or climate change. https://t.co/IisSShl9Um — PolitiTweet.org
