America should never forget the sacrifices of these brave first responders, and the 9/11 victims’ fund should never run out of money. Proud to vote for this bill that will help ensure that our gratitude for these heroes isn’t only symbolic. — PolitiTweet.org

@RodSchoonover @StateDept Donald Trump’s climate denial and suppression of science is a direct threat to our national security. Dedicated members of the intelligence community like Dr. Schoonover are telling us we remain ignorant at our peril. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Thank you to Dr. @RodSchoonover for joining the Senate Climate Change Task Force today. Dr. Schoonover recently resigned his position at @StateDept after his written testimony on the national security threats from climate change was suppressed by the Trump administration. https://t.co/edkldhVxTa — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Thank you @SSChamber for hosting me today. The South Shore business community is so fortunate to have all of you leading the team and helping to mentor a new generation of business leaders who are increasingly making this region their home base. https://t.co/SlMSjlkjno — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

TSA security fees should be used for only one purpose: to improve security. That what my legislation with @SenBlumenthal and @SenatorBennet calls for. I strongly urge Congress to reject any calls to divert more money away from TSA and its workforce. https://t.co/dxGSdmBKhg — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Look forward to hearing from Dr. Rod Schoonover on the linkages between climate change and national security tomorrow at my Senate Climate Task Force meeting. Unlike Trump, we won't stop Dr. Schoonover from sharing full intel on climate threats. https://t.co/yKbehYFMrm — PolitiTweet.org

I will be reintroducing my Data Broker Accountability & Transparency Act to provide consumers with the right to stop data brokers from using, sharing, or selling their info for marketing purposes & require data brokers to institute comprehensive privacy & data security programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

For years, @Equifax compiled dossiers on American consumers on a massive scale & then played fast & loose with that data. This settlement is far from an adequate solution to our society’s data broker problem & we have to do much more to stop the next breach before it happens. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Yukiya Amano leaves a legacy of statesmanship and achievement at the @iaeaorg. He was a global champion for nuclear nonproliferation, including through his support for the Iran nuclear deal. At a time when the world is facing more nuclear dangers, we will miss his leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

The moon shot is what the United States is all about – innovation, ingenuity, and imagination. #Apollo50th — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In this era of innovation, there are jobs that are not yet imagined, in fields that haven’t been created, within industries that don’t yet exist. We need to be bold. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

And it would have to be done in fewer than 8 years. With this monumental challenge, he lifted our gaze to the literal constellation of possibilities. President Kennedy urged us to be bold. In the 21st century, it is time for us to be bold once again. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

President Kennedy told us that we would need a rocket made of new metal alloys, some of which had not yet been invented. And it would have to be returned to Earth safely at speeds never before approximated by humanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

50 years ago today, America watched with pride as Neil Armstrong stepped on the Moon and a flag was planted as a symbol of our success. THREAD: #Apollo50th — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I support a stronger alliance with Thailand. But, I fear Secretary Pompeo’s action signals to would-be authoritarians around the world that the United States is unilaterally surrendering the leverage it has to promote democracy around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’ve learned that the @StateDept decided to overlook major problems regarding the election in #Thailand, certifying that a democratically-elected government has taken office. This decision is troubling. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, I was proud to join Jose, and other immigrants and advocates who are dedicated to fighting the humanitarian crisis at the border but also fighting to protect our local immigrant communities. https://t.co/YF1musQWvj — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I want Jose and immigrants like him living and working in our communities, and I know most Bay Staters feel the same way. What I don’t want in our communities is a Trump deportation army terrorizing our neighbors. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Jose has lived in Massachusetts w/ Temporary Protected Status for almost 20 years. He's a hardworking member of the Boston community. But the Trump administration would rather deport him and 12,000+ other Mass. residents with TPS and have them live in constant fear of ICE raids. https://t.co/VHTd9HbHGb — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We have the resources to help, Americans have the desire to help, and we have a foundation of being a beacon for those who need help. This country has always been a refuge for those in need. We can’t let Donald Trump destroy that tradition and divide us. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I know Americans are better than that. Americans want to help because we know refugees are human beings, not threats. Congress should pass my GRACE Act, which prevents any president from setting a refugee admissions ceiling below 95,000. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Despite the largest global displacement on record, the Trump admin is proposing we admit ZERO refugees next year. Refugees come to America in pursuit of what we all want: a safe and secure future for themselves and their families. But Trump wants to stoke fear towards immigrants. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We all have a right to clean air, water and food. But Trump’s EPA refused to ban toxic chlorpyrifos that can cause brain damage in kids. Congress should pass @SenatorTomUdall’s bill to ban these pesticides and prioritize our children’s health over the chemical industry’s profits. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Last week, I visited CBP detention facilities on the southern border and what I saw was heartbreaking and enraging. Today, I’m in Boston with immigration advocates to discuss the humanitarian crisis at the border and in our communities. WATCH: https://t.co/nLEhqsfJkt — PolitiTweet.org

It was an absolute honor to meet Pumpsie Green, the first black player for the @RedSox, at the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park. RIP to a pioneer and a hero. https://t.co/ObKUqQlnTe — PolitiTweet.org
