But how many of these bills has Senator McConnell allowed a vote on? Zero. How many of these bills have we been allowed to debate? None. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We have introduced bills to close loopholes that allow domestic abusers and terrorists to purchase deadly weapons and that allow straw purchasers to flood our streets with guns. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We have introduced a bill to ensure that all gun purchases include a background check. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We have introduced a bill to ban military style assault weapons and high capacity magazines — a proposal that would have prohibited the weapons used to inflict mass casualties in the El Paso and Dayton shootings. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Democrats have introduced a litany of common-sense and lifesaving proposals to prevent gun violence. But this bloodshed keeps happening because Mitch McConnell and too many of his Republican colleagues refuse to listen to the American people begging and pleading for change. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In the face of these relentless gun violence tragedies, feeling helpless does not mean we are helpless. We need gun reform now and Leader McConnell must stop blocking action on behalf of the NRA. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Another tragic mass shooting, just after we mourned another tragic mass shooting. We are praying for the victims and families in El Paso and Dayton. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

If your heartbreak for the victims and families in El Paso is turning to outrage at yet another mass shooting, then tell @senatemajldr McConnell to stop blocking gun safety legislation. Sadly, we can’t bring these souls back, but we can take action to prevent these tragedies. — PolitiTweet.org

While I'm encouraged by Saudi Arabia’s decision to allow women to travel & work without male guardianship, these reforms are long overdue, and many more are needed. The next step must be the release of the women’s rights activists who bravely advocated for these simple freedoms. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The INF Treaty helped foster decades of stability by banning weapons that could spark a nuclear conflict within minutes. But President Trump has decided to dismantle the global arms control regime and fan the flames of a new, global arms race. https://t.co/RvMQcl4X27 — PolitiTweet.org

Climate deniers want you to think it’s not happening. Incrementalists want you to think it’s a drip, drip. It’s not. It’s a flood, it’s here now, & the only thing that will stop it is an equally overwhelming flood of people supporting transformative policy like the #GreenNewDeal. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

When President Trump says he has no problem with shorter range missile launches, he gives North Korea a green light to continue to threaten our allies. We need the President and @SecPompeo to strongly and definitively call on North Korea to halt these provocations. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

So much for “wanting diplomacy.” This unproductive use of sanctions shows that the Trump administration is only interested in punishing Iran – not actually trying to change its malign behavior and advance America’s security interests. https://t.co/PjcVtqEN4t — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The fossil fuel industry relies on lobbying groups like @USChamber to kill the bold policies we need to combat climate change & limit pollution. The #ChamberofCarbon needs to stop fronting for corporate polluters & support the transformative action we need fight climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Any Trump administration officials responsible for violation of the court order ending family separation should face contempt and any other judicial proceedings that hold them accountable for their lawlessness. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

"A 4-year-old boy was separated from his father whose speech impediment prevented him from answering CBP officials' questions. The family was separated even after the father presented a birth certificate showing his paternity." Family separation is evil. https://t.co/G4SEjbkT4f — PolitiTweet.org

The Merrimack Valley disaster was not inevitable, it was preventable. With passage of this legislation today, we are one step closer to ensuring that no community ever has to experience a tragedy like this ever again. https://t.co/vL2DlvG7BT — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We know we can never bring Leonel Rondon back, but we can honor his memory by making this bill law and putting natural gas companies on notice that they can never allow another tragedy like the Merrimack Valley disaster to happen in any other community. https://t.co/uZrTMYMWwi — PolitiTweet.org

The right to live freely is not a matter of principle, but a fundamental dignity and right. On World Day Against Trafficking In Persons, we shine on a light on the 40 million around the world who are forced into the horrors of modern slavery. We must #EndHumanTrafficking. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has slashed our refugee admissions to historically low levels & may try to bar ALL admissions next year. I intro'd the GRACE Act to ensure we return to pre-Trump admission levels.

If we are going to fight climate change, we need our brightest minds focused on studying it. And they need to feel free to share their science. That’s why we invited Dr. Schoonover to share some of his findings with the Senate Climate Change Task Force. https://t.co/Sy1YuZT9Us — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

.@StateDept analyst Dr. @RodSchoonover was ready to testify to the House of Reps on the national security impacts of climate change. Then the Trump administration censored him. Then he resigned. Read his account of how his science was silenced: https://t.co/JMlF0ZHWoL — PolitiTweet.org
