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/yoFvzVWHwk — 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

While the brightest medical minds keep working to unlock the keys to addressing and stopping EEE, check out the CDC’s resources to protect yourself and loved ones for the remainder of this year’s mosquito season: https://t.co/4on4wYjcSZ — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The CDC has documented more cases of EEE in 2019 than any other year in the last five decades. Thankfully, NIAID is working to better understand & enhance our response to this devastating virus & the CDC has deployed resources to help Massachusetts & other states requesting aid. https://t.co/DxUcd89Y33 — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that the Senate passed my and @SenHydeSmith’s resolution designating the month of September as National Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month. This resolution will send a message to Americans who have been impacted by brain aneurysms that they are not alone in this fight. https://t.co/YKsTgkKLxA — PolitiTweet.org

America has a longstanding commitment to vulnerable people around the world. But Donald Trump doesn’t want America to help, he wants America to hate.   Congress needs to pass my GRACE Act to prevent any president from lowering the annual refugee cap below 95,000. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Lawrence residents shouldn’t have to wonder if their gas pipelines are a ticking time bomb. No American should. Congress needs to pass my Leonel Rondon Pipeline Safety Act to ensure that no natural gas company is allowed to shortchange safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

There appears to be no damage so far in Lawrence, and we are thankful to our first responders for their quick action this morning. But we need to know how a major leak in the same area could have happened just a year after the @ColumbiaGasMA disaster. https://t.co/DWMdroUZfU — PolitiTweet.org

For too long, data brokers have played fast and loose with our personal information. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to protect consumers and bring this industry out of the shadows. https://t.co/PpHrTQ5Cwl — PolitiTweet.org

The NTSB’s Boeing report reveals how a barrage of safety alerts impeded the pilots’ efforts to prevent these crashes. My Safety is Not for Sale bill would’ve required Boeing to design the 737 MAX w/ features that could’ve helped the pilots filter out false readings & take action. — PolitiTweet.org

Sadly, the Trump administration continues to block access to basic reproductive health services and related information. It is time we put an end to the harmful domestic and global gag rules that infringe on an individual’s right to access the care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we recognize #WorldContraceptionDay and the unequivocal right for everyone to access quality family planning services, regardless of where they live. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to know if the “word-for-word transcript” of the Ukraine call exists, as the whistleblower alleges, what happened to it and why, and how it compares to the reconstruction of the call that the White House released yesterday. Ellipses matter. https://t.co/GHruYHxM1N — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We only know about the Ukraine call because the whistleblower came forward. And the complaint details the lengths to which high-ranking White House officials will go to cover up President Trump’s abuses of power. What else don’t we know? How many times has this happened before? — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Nominating corporate lawyer Eugene Scalia to lead the Department of Labor is a continuation of President Trump’s anti-worker agenda. We need a Secretary of Labor, not a #SecretaryofCorporateInterests. I will vote NO on his nomination tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

With over 300 Burmese behind bars for speaking out against human rights abuses at home, I applaud the House for passing the Burma Political Prisoners Assistance Act. I look forward to continuing the momentum here in the Senate. https://t.co/uMpLg9fTrc — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The so-called “transcript” also shows that Donald Trump sought to politically weaponize the Justice Department and have it go after his rival. That’s also an impeachable offense. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The so-called “transcript” of Donald Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Zelensky isn’t even close to the whole story and yet it is *still* incriminating. Donald Trump sought foreign help to smear a political rival and influence our elections. He must be impeached. — PolitiTweet.org

As oceans warm, our iconic fisheries are suffering as lobster and cod move north, out of Massachusetts waters. Ocean acidification threatens our shellfish industry and coastal ecosystems. We need healthy oceans, but our oceans need us too. They need #OceanClimateAction. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Sea level rise is accelerating. 90,000 homes in Massachusetts could face inundation from sea level rise by 2100, according to @UCSUSA. Warming waters will fuel more extreme storms and flooding, with disadvantaged and underserved communities most at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Off Massachusetts’s coasts, the Gulf of Maine is the fastest-warming body of water behind the Arctic. Our waters are already experiencing over 2°C of warming—past the Paris goal for avoiding climate catastrophe. Climate change is here and now. https://t.co/Ip5KYIOGXh — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The ocean has absorbed 90% of the heat from our CO2 emissions, but we’re straining its capacity to shield us from climate impacts. The IPCC SROCC report warns of critical tipping points in melting ice, warming waters, rising seas—all threats to coastal communities & economies — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The #IPCC #SROCC report is clear: we need #OceanClimateAction. To protect our oceans & coastal communities, we need a transition to 100% clean, renewable energy. We need offshore wind, sustainable fisheries, revitalized waterfronts, & coastal restoration. We need a #GreenNewDeal. — PolitiTweet.org

At my request, the NTSB will be coming to Lawrence in early October, where they will be discussing their findings directly with those in the affected communities. I look forward to having that discussion with the NTSB and the communities. https://t.co/XibSGlK2y1 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

NiSource’s reckless actions and our loophole-ridden pipeline safety regulations led to death and disaster. The NTSB final report confirms what @SenWarren and I found during our investigation – that this disaster was not inevitable, it was preventable. — PolitiTweet.org
