Effort to squash the hard-working scientists at NOAA, now coupled with allegations of potential retaliatory actions being taken at Commerce Department, demand that the Senate Commerce Committee quickly holds a hearing to get to the bottom of this matter.  https://t.co/RGG47dG8qe — PolitiTweet.org

Yet more launches tonight that Trump calls "very standard stuff." He's in denial. A new UN Panel of Experts report says that North Korea’s short-range tests benefit its long-range missile programs (while threatening U.S. allies). https://t.co/GlpOv8IDqC — PolitiTweet.org

Trump may soon appease Saudi Arabia yet again by signing a watered-down nuclear cooperation agreement. While I oppose nuclear cooperation with any gov’t taking an authoritarian turn, cooperation without a “gold standard” commitment would be indefensible. https://t.co/96x3QdzMnJ — PolitiTweet.org

Another New England EEE death was confirmed today. We need to find a way to prevent and treat this deadly disease. That’s why @SenWarren and I wrote to NIAID to find out what federal research is being done on this rare virus. https://t.co/771YOGzm3o — PolitiTweet.org

California and these automakers are actually coming together to negotiate deals that will protect pocketbooks & the planet. But Trump would rather try to intimidate the dealmakers than join them at the table. This is despicable bullying, & we can’t accept it as business as usual. — PolitiTweet.org

The Rohingya fled a campaign in Burma to erase their existence only to face a campaign in Bangladesh to erase their experience. Indonesia, Kashmir, Bangladesh: there is a disturbing trend of the most vulnerable populations in Asia being silenced with communications blackouts. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon's internet-connected doorbell company @ring has partnerships with 400+ police departments. And reports indicate that may give law enforcement access to Ring’s video footage. I’m calling for answers about the serious privacy and civil liberty risks these partnerships pose. — PolitiTweet.org

Erdogan joins the Saudi Crown Prince in suggesting his country may soon treat its obligations under the NPT with the same disregard it has for human rights. Trump’s autocrat coddling & Iran deal own-goal could spur a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. https://t.co/RwCcPIHegH — PolitiTweet.org

We need more from the administration than a partial reinstatement of medical deferrals, we need to know who was responsible for this inhumane action and a full commitment that America will not be deporting sick children and families. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The only reason the Trump administration is going to stop deporting (some) kids with cancer is because it got caught deporting kids with cancer. https://t.co/KPvCTfC8uQ — PolitiTweet.org

In the absence of a full climate debate, CNN’s #ClimateTownHall is an important moment. And it wouldn’t be happening without the pressure from groups and young people and concerned Americans who want our next president to be the #GreenNewDeal president. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Formally withdrawing the extradition bill would be a good step, but it won’t “fully allay public concerns.” Hongkongers are losing autonomy and fear being subsumed by Beijing’s system of government. Democracy, freedom, and rule of law must win the day. https://t.co/gN5BkWkqb8 — PolitiTweet.org

Where the FTC fails, Congress must act. We can start by passing my COPPA 2.0 legislation w/ @SenHawleyPress that extends privacy protections to teens, creates an eraser button so that young users can eliminate personal info they’ve posted, and bans targeted ads directed at kids. — PolitiTweet.org

The FTC should have required annual public audits into Google’s children’s privacy practices because parents deserve to know if this tech behemoth continues to track kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The FTC should have prohibited Google from launching any new kids’ offerings before review and approval by independent experts because Google has forfeited the benefit of the doubt when it comes to putting kids’ well-being first. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The FTC should have required Google to delete all data it has collected from children under 13 because it never should have amassed an untold amount of this data in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The FTC should have issued a colossal fine that fits Google’s crime and demanded that Google make significant structural changes to their business practices. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

YouTube knowingly broke federal law by tracking kids in order to rake in advertising dollars without the requisite notice to and permission from parents. But the FTC let Google off the hook with a drop-in-the-bucket fine. Not a single Google executive or investor will bat an eye. — PolitiTweet.org

We will never be a truly healthy society until we confront the racism & discrimination that's literally been built into our infrastructure & reflected in our policies. That’s what the #GreenNewDeal will do: deliver environmental justice for EVERY American. https://t.co/kt5N7SZ41h — PolitiTweet.org

Under Facebook’s current policy state-run entities can pay Facebook for advertisements that promote and target sophisticated media campaigns. Facebook should prohibit advertising from state-controlled news media entities like Xinhua News Agency. — PolitiTweet.org

I condemn the arrests and the risible claim by Hong Kong police that their actions have nothing to do with upcoming protests. The people of Hong Kong must be free to express their concerns. We must also call out the enablers of coercion and intimidation. https://t.co/5FFRi2KRd0 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The FTC appears to have let YouTube off the hook with a nominal fine for violating users’ privacy online. And in this case, Google’s intrusions on kids' personal info are at issue. We must come down hard on companies that infringe on children’s’ privacy. https://t.co/XuRuEYnvOz — PolitiTweet.org

Kids with cancer, cystic fibrosis, and muscular dystrophy are now being told that they must leave the country or be put in the hands of ICE. We cannot and will not let this stand. https://t.co/ybKbKcXAaK — PolitiTweet.org
