We don’t need handshakes and photo ops at the DMZ, we need diplomacy with experienced advisors and experts to denuclearize North Korea and achieve peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

When Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin got some quality time together today they joked about “getting rid” of journalists. What’s he going to whisper to Kim Jong Un at the DMZ? Don’t worry about the human rights abuses? How to handle dissent? — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Donald Trump’s fondness for authoritarians who share his hostility toward the free press continues to undermine America’s moral standing. When Trump coddles human rights abusers, it corrodes our best values and encourages their worst behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

No war with Iran: today I voted to force the President to come to Congress for approval before military action in Iran. That's our constitutional authority. The American people, not John Bolton, not Trump, must have the loudest voice when determining whether or not we go to war. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Last week, Trump said he was minutes away from striking Iran, potentially triggering a wider conflict. We can’t rely on one very flawed individual’s judgment to prevent war. We must pass @SenatorTomUdall’s bill & reassert Congress’s sole constitutional authority to authorize war. — PolitiTweet.org

Last season’s flu vaccine was 29% effective. We can’t keep playing Russian roulette every flu season w/ suboptimal vaccines. We must pass my FLU Vaccine Act to ensure we keep funding research at NIH for a universal vaccine that will save millions of lives. https://t.co/EuOGC4tcHh — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s EPA is proposing a rollback of a Clean Air Act policy that will result in you breathing more pollutants like: Asbestos Arsenic Chloroform Cyanide Formaldehyde Lead Mercury If you're panicking about this, try to not take a deep breath. https://t.co/AxSeSIe8pA — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell gerrymandered the Supreme Court and today’s 5-4 decision to continue partisan gerrymandering is the result. When the ruling political party depends on suppressing democracy to maintain power, the system is rigged. — PolitiTweet.org

We missed a key opportunity 10 years ago with Waxman-Markey. We can’t afford to do it again and we won’t. We’re going to keep fighting until we achieve the transformative climate action we need, because another 10 years without it and it will be too late. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The longer we continue to allow President Trump to use immigrants as hostages and the more we increase funding for the agencies that enable him to implement his criminally anti-immigrant agenda, the longer his cruel policies will continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We are not going to stop the Trump administration’s inhumane and hateful assault on immigrants by giving more money to ICE and CBP. We must take a stand and say no more. That’s why today I voted NO on the border funding packages. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We know those are their priorities because they could stand up to Donald Trump at any point and stop this, and they don’t. They own this cruelty, this inhumanity, this death, and they should never forget it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Senate Republicans are letting migrant children die at the border & in detention because Donald Trump bought their allegiance with what they really care about: tax breaks for wealthy donors, extremist judges, etc. That’s what they care about, not this little girl & her father. https://t.co/8r3P3aJY4x — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The courage of the workers participating in the Wayfair walkout reminds us that we are not helpless. These children need us to all feel empowered to fight for justice, because that is how we are going to change this. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Any company profiting from the misery of detained children should immediately end that practice. I’m with the Wayfair workers 100% as they prepare to take a stand for the migrant children trapped in the humanitarian crisis on our southern border. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Offshore wind has the potential to change the game on climate change, and those winds of change are blowing off the shores of Massachusetts. We need to provide this burgeoning industry the long-term certainty in the tax code that it needs. https://t.co/nzjFXr92He — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today the Climate Task Force met w/ Dr. Brenda Ekwurzel of @UCSUSA & Dr. Kyle Meng of @brenucsb to discuss lessons learned in the 10 yrs since my Waxman-Markey climate change bill. Of #ClimateAction we now know: the benefits are higher, the costs are lower & the people are ready. https://t.co/mIBq51SKN7 — PolitiTweet.org

Data brokers buy and sell Americans’ personal information without permission or oversight. Except in Vermont, where they will now have to register. Congress should do the same and pass my legislation to hold data brokers accountable nationwide. https://t.co/cxvMv1N9CT — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

These debates shouldn’t waste time asking if climate change is real; it is. There is no more debate about climate science, just about climate solutions. We need boldness and ambition from the candidates. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In the 2016 Clinton-Trump debates, there wasn’t a single question about climate change. Now, it’s one of the top issues Democratic voters want to hear about in the debates. Incredible testament to the power of the #GreenNewDeal to push this issue front and center. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This isn’t complicated: migrant children should never be detained in inhumane conditions. We all need to do everything we can to stop Donald Trump from using kids as political pawns to further his racist immigration policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Transforming our economy and combatting climate change will create millions of jobs, but it won’t be possible without our workers and their families. Great to see our allies in organized labor continuing to make climate action a top priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Companies of all types have strong business incentives to gather and monetize information about children. I’m urging the FTC to enforce federal law and act as a check against the ever increasing appetite for children’s data. https://t.co/ZkHpenXht9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Climate change is a public health enemy! I introduced the Climate Change Health Protection and Promotion Act of 2019 to help ensure that the U.S. healthcare system is prepared to address climate impacts. https://t.co/9VVho0dgah — PolitiTweet.org

Buildings account for ~40% of energy consumed in America. To fight climate change, we will need to reimagine and rebuild the foundations, literally, of our nation. That’s why the #GreenNewDeal is “the biggest design idea in a century.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As @FastCompany investigates, America WILL be transformed by climate change. Our choice: do nothing and be transformed by “devastating environmental disasters”, or adopt the #GreenNewDeal and transform our society into one that is cleaner, fairer, better. https://t.co/tmHxCKV4Rk — PolitiTweet.org

Department of Agriculture research showing climate change’s threat to the food supply of hundreds of millions of people is being suppressed by Trump. For all of his cover-ups, this one directly threatens the lives of millions. Climate science denial is a public health risk. — PolitiTweet.org
