If the FTC is serious about protecting kids' privacy online, it will enforce existing protections & hold violators accountable no matter how powerful they are. But no action by the FTC will eliminate the need to pass my + @SenHawleyPress’s COPPA 2.0 bill. https://t.co/a2L8cBMsHW — PolitiTweet.org

Gun violence prevention, maternal mortality, a #GreenNewDeal, fair pay - this is what @RepPressley is fighting for on behalf of Massachusetts. Proud to stand with you. #ChangeCantWait https://t.co/kDoVoKAU7f — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump admin canceled a proposed rule that would have helped prevent tragedies like this from happening again. In response, I've intro'd the Safe Freight Act w/ Sen. @RonWyden to make sure every train has at least one conductor & one engineer on board. https://t.co/BTB6RqybFz — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @SenatorBraun and @RepLoriTrahan for your partnership on this important legislation. https://t.co/Bf24iJ7v6E — PolitiTweet.org

The #OpioidCrisis has been fueled by a flood of billions of pills, but too many doctors writing those prescriptions have received no training on how to treat addiction. Congress should pass my bill that requires all prescribers to receive proper prescription/treatment education. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It’s important that a federal court has authorized the release of secret gov't data showing how drug companies fueled the #OpioidEpidemic. But we need Congress to pass my Opioid QuOTA Act that makes it the law for data like this to be publicly available. https://t.co/5EOmSXgFA8 — PolitiTweet.org

An improved flu vaccine will save thousands of lives every year. Good to see President Trump may be serious about finding one. If he is, he'll support my + Rep. @RosaDelauro's bill to DOUBLE funding, to $1 billion, for research for a universal flu vaccine. https://t.co/a9y2vR5Mx8 — PolitiTweet.org

If we fail to act on climate change, by the end of the century 5 million+ people in Massachusetts will be exposed to a heat index of over 100*F for more than 1 full month per year. A tepid response won’t stop #KillerHeat. We need the transformative #GreenNewDeal. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is a positive step against the senior-most Burmese military officials I named in my March letter. But as I wrote then to @SecPompeo & @USTreasury, the strongest step towards accountability would be Global Magnitsky sanctions. https://t.co/0PQjYSaST8 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Thanks to @SEEC for joining us today at the Senate Climate Change Task Force meeting to discuss coordinating efforts for climate action in both chambers of Congress. Together, we can - and MUST - make real progress on clean energy, green infrastructure, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Trump’s gag rule will block millions from receiving the reproductive & preventative health care they need, endangering lives & targeting women of color who disproportionately rely on Title X providers. We need to fight this reckless decision & #ProtectX. https://t.co/omC1bOUF0Z — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

A $5 billion fine for @Facebook’s privacy violations is egregiously inadequate. @SenBlumenthal, @SenHawleyPress and I are sending a bipartisan message that our regulators need to be harsh on privacy violators and hold Facebook accountable. https://t.co/gyGN8K3KZc — PolitiTweet.org

I urged Trump before the Hanoi summit to codify in writing North Korea’s missile & nuclear testing freezes. He failed. He got played. And now Kim Jong Un can threaten to resume testing, giving him leverage over the U.S. & lowering denuclearization chances. https://t.co/jcBGXD8zbh — PolitiTweet.org

Massachusetts welcomes @EnesKanter with open arms, @RonWyden. Yet another community will be inspired by his excellence and his advocacy in the face of authoritarian intimidation. @celtics — PolitiTweet.org

To tell vulnerable families and children they can’t seek refuge in the U.S. *because* they made the journey is cruel and unconscionable, and will not withstand a challenge in our courts. — PolitiTweet.org

While at the southern border I was proud to meet with dedicated @ClarkUniversity students doing community service in Brownsville, providing services for the migrant community.

Gene Kimmelman has tirelessly served the public interest for decades, always pushing for greater competition & choice to benefit consumers. I wish Gene well in his next chapter. But the good news: @PublicKnowledge remains in capable hands with Chris Lewis. https://t.co/JCgz9ShRUu — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump isn’t only threatened by these congresswomen’s identities, he’s threatened by their courage and strength. Every day, they stand up to Trump’s racist attacks and speak truth to power. I’m proud to serve alongside them. Keep organizing. Keep fighting. — PolitiTweet.org

The use of facial recognition technology poses a staggering threat to Americans’ privacy. Your sensitive information should never be collected without your permission, and I’ve called for an outright ban on the sale of biometric data. https://t.co/dCCN5Yz5Yb — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We could and should be releasing migrants who aren’t safety risks as we have in the past, but Trump wants it this way. He wants it to reach a boiling point and stoke hate with his base of supporters. When Trump talks about the immigration crisis, he’s admiring his own work. — PolitiTweet.org

1) Refuse to use alternatives to detention programs to release from ICE facilities, create overcrowding 2) Refuse to release on recognizance from CBP facilities at the border, create overcrowding — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today’s ICE raids are designed for peak cruelty: tear families apart, stoke fear in immigrant communities & throw more people into already overcrowded facilities. Here’s Trump’s vicious manufactured cycle to criminalize immigrants & push an overcrowded system to a breaking point: — PolitiTweet.org
