As US Attorney, @SecretaryAcosta let child molester Jeffrey Epstein off with a slap on the wrist, denying justice to his victims. Unclear why Donald Trump – who called Epstein a “terrific guy” – made him a Cabinet member, but it is clear he must go. Acosta must resign immediately — PolitiTweet.org

Armed with the #GreenNewDeal, it’ll be the poorest Americans, minority communities, and everyone else demanding action on climate change who will make the dream of a Trump-free White House a reality in 2020. Trump wants to reshape the facts, but we will reshape our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

The massive action needed to fight climate change is going to need new financing mechanisms. Across the nation, climate banks have been incredibly successful at funding clean energy projects that decrease emissions. My bill w/ @ChrisVanHollen creates a National Climate Bank. — PolitiTweet.org

America was founded by the patriots who sparked revolution in Massachusetts, but also by the refugees who landed there. To live up to our tradition of opening our hearts to those in need, we must remember our revolutionary spirit that pushes us to fight for justice. #FourthOfJuly — PolitiTweet.org

My thoughts are with the City of Brockton after learning of the sudden passing of Mayor Bill Carpenter, a true champion in the fight against the opioid epidemic. His family and loved ones will be in my prayers. https://t.co/QwWsMTfcoD — PolitiTweet.org

This June was the hottest on record. Every month so far in 2019 has been in the top 5 hottest on record. 8 of the last 10 yrs have been the hottest on record. This is not a drill, it is an emergency. If we keep failing to act, the trend WILL continue. We need a #GreenNewDeal NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’ll keep fighting to pass @SenCortezMasto’s Alternatives to Detention Act that will ensure the most vulnerable populations aren’t used as a part of Trump administration’s cruel and ineffective deterrence agenda. https://t.co/xQx2Ujek2n — PolitiTweet.org

An Obama-era ATD program resulted in a near 100% compliance rate for immigration proceedings and cost the government a fraction of the cost of detention. More importantly, it treated immigrants with humanity and dignity. Why aren’t we doing this now? — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Mass detention in inhumane facilities is NOT the only option. Alternatives to detention (ATD) programs ensure compliance with immigration court proceedings while still allowing for the conditional release of immigrants. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

DHS’s own investigation details what amounts to human rights abuses committed by CBP at southern border detention centers. No human being deserves to be detained in these conditions. We need to immediately get children and families out of these facilities. https://t.co/JgFUv8Fru1 — PolitiTweet.org

Massachusetts’s coalition of gun safety advocates, community leaders & families of victims helped enact some of the nation’s toughest gun laws, but there is much work left to be done.

Disturbing that @SecPompeo reportedly treats his State Dept security detail like “UberEats with guns." If true & unjustified, Pompeo is latest Trump official to use power for personal gain. Reported acts trivialize the DS mission: protecting our diplomats. https://t.co/1VEwjA13Uz — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is a winning issue for Democrats in 2020. The contrast with climate change denier-in-chief Donald Trump couldn’t be starker and the stakes couldn’t higher. Excited the DNC is considering this as an opportunity to prove that Democrats are leading on this issue. — PolitiTweet.org

On today’s anniversary of the handover to China, Hongkongers deserve autonomy more than ever, but risk seeing less of it by the day. I stand with the peaceful protestors asserting their rights, and I urge restraint from the authorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Reports about new North Korea talks are promising, but if reports are right, we can’t simply declare it a nuclear weapons state and move on. We should push Kim Jong Un to commit in writing to a missile and nuclear test ban as a first step. We need more than just a freeze. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Massachusetts has some of the most life-saving gun safety laws on the books. My and @RepJoeKennedy + @RepPressley’s MASS Act will encourage other states to implement our proven methods and share in our success in reducing deaths from gun violence. https://t.co/PHTaNYYzyN — PolitiTweet.org

What’s happening in Sudan is heartbreaking, and I stand with the people of Sudan as they bravely call for democracy. The Transitional Military Council must immediately transfer power to a civilian-led government. https://t.co/NcYHbVNVtj — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump is using the G20 to network with authoritarians. The brutal murder of Khashoggi is a part of MBS’s MO of violently repressing dissent. Trump should use this as an opportunity to confront the Crown Prince - who may be seeking nuclear weapons - not compliment him. — PolitiTweet.org
