In November 2018, I asked FTC Chairman Joseph Simons specifically about YouTube’s potential violation of the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act. Watch: https://t.co/UrmXaAvEe0 — PolitiTweet.org

An FTC investigation into YouTube’s treatment of children online is long overdue. It is no secret that kids flock to YouTube every day, but the company has yet to take the necessary steps to protect its youngest users. https://t.co/YxVH2SHmew — PolitiTweet.org

Saudi leaders likely ordered a “deliberate, premeditated execution” of Jamal Khashoggi, says the UN. They deserve accountability. Instead, the Trump administration is trying to sell them weapons and the nuclear technology that could ignite a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. — PolitiTweet.org

Today we celebrate emancipation in recognition of #Juneteenth - a historical day that commemorates the abolition of slavery in the U.S. Every year, this day reminds us of the important commitment America made to safeguard a fair and equal future for all. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time to get serious about protecting children online. I’ll be introducing the KIDS Act to ban damaging design features like autoplay, stop amplification of harmful content, and limit advertising to children. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Good that YouTube is heeding my calls to get rid of design features that harm kids. But changes need to be codified, internally at YouTube and in federal law with my Kids Internet Design and Safety (KIDS) Act. https://t.co/LO0WeZl8FB — PolitiTweet.org

America’s energy future will not be found in the dark of a mine but in the light of the sun. Wind and solar are beating coal in the free market. Today there are 350k jobs in solar and wind and only 50k in coal mining. We don’t need a dirty power scam, we need a #GreenNewDeal. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This new rule is nothing more than corporate welfare for the coal industry. Former coal lobbyist and now EPA Admin. Wheeler doesn’t understand that it is the EPA’s job to protect public health and the environment, not the coal industry. https://t.co/wKqHxmsEgj — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, the Climate Change Task Force met to talk international climate action funding with @GCF_News new Executive Director @YannickGlemarec and Jennifer Morris, @ConservationOrg President. The US must resume support for the Green Climate Fund and resume international leadership. https://t.co/qjfq7bUrs1 — PolitiTweet.org

Increasing tensions with Iran + decreasing Saudi oil production = a potential disaster for American consumers at the pump this summer. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

4 BILLION+ robocalls were placed in May. They’re all annoying. Many are abusive. And for hospitals like @TuftsMedicalCtr, some are life-threatening. My TRACED Act will crack down and end this. That’s why the Senate passed it 97-1. Now the House must act. https://t.co/hrzflVGbGB — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Before Trump, we had an Iran deal. Now we’re looking at an Iran disaster. Let Bolton run amok. Replace a working nuclear deal with threats of military force. Claim crisis when Iran responds. Use it to justify more conflict. No strategy. Bad decisions and avoidable consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Massachusetts was one of the first states to pass $15/hour minimum wage legislation. But it wasn’t until after a hard fight. We need to wage that campaign across the country until each and every American worker is paid what they have earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It’s been 10 years since the last federal minimum wage increase. And decades of wage stagnation. Day in & day out, American min wage workers are doing their jobs, getting more & more productive and getting paid relatively less & less. Congress needs to do its job & #RaiseTheWage. — PolitiTweet.org

Great news that Connecticut is the 5th state to ban gay and trans “panic” defenses. But they are still permitted in federal courts across the country. Congress should provide a model for all states to end this hateful practice and pass my and @RepJoeKennedy’s federal ban. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis’s Laudato si’ is scripture for action on climate and now he has given #BigOil his homily. @Pontifex knows we have a moral responsibility to fight this climate emergency. And with the #GreenNewDeal, we can save all of creation with massive clean energy job creation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Refusing to let Pride flags fly at embassies is a signal to the international community that America is abandoning the advancement of LGBTI rights as a foreign policy priority. I wrote to @StateDept to oppose this decision and demand answers: https://t.co/9mBIb6s2U0 — PolitiTweet.org

This week, the Climate Change Task Force met w/ scientists & educators behind the new #DeepTime exhibit at @Smithsonian @NMNH. They redesigned the Hall of Fossils to show how fossil fuels drive today's rapid climate change & the dire effect of similar temps on pre-human species. https://t.co/rBpwmhMIMe — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's toxic mix of bravado and incompetence is further spurring proxy wars and destabilizing attacks. Worse, our young men and women might get pulled into another Mideast war and Americans could pay the price at the pump for Trump’s foreign policy oil risk tax. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Despite Donald Trump’s relentless assault on institutions, democracy, and everything we consider normal, we cannot become numb to the fact that the President of the United States literally admitted he would commit a crime to get reelected. #52 USC 30121. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must stand up to hate in all its forms and fulfill our responsibility to end gun violence. Inaction is unacceptable. #HonorThemWithAction — PolitiTweet.org
