It’s called legislating. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Let me be clear, the fight for a livable future is just getting started. I look forward to taking this historic step forward and will never stop fighting for climate action and environmental justice for the communities that need it most. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We have much more to do to meet our climate and equity commitments, but after a yearlong fight, we have a deal that has 50 votes and makes historic investments. This weekend, I will vote accordingly to protect that deal, which means voting no on amendments, even ones I support. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I'm glad @WHCEQ has heeded my call to develop an Environmental Justice Scorecard. These communities will finally be able to see a grade for how well we're serving them. With $60 billion for Environmental Justice in reconciliation, we can't afford anything less than an 'A'. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This weekend, we'll take an important step forward in the fight for environmental, racial, and health justice. Fossil fuel corporations created the climate crisis and now they are going to start paying for the climate solutions. Let's get this done. https://t.co/VWenawpNQx — PolitiTweet.org

Ten years after the tragic shooting at a Sikh gurdwara in Oak Creek, WI, we honor those that lost their lives as a result of hate and bigotry. No one in America should fear practicing their faith. I am with the Sikh community as they continue to counter hate with resilience. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Climate disasters aren't stopping and neither can we. We have to supercharge the clean energy revolution and protect our frontline communities. The Inflation Reduction Act gives us the resources we need to get started. https://t.co/5PVB9TVkdU — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I'm live on the Senate floor calling for the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. It's not everything we wanted but it's the start of what we need. This is our moment to deliver for the American people. https://t.co/OFDBMrVTLo — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

.@RepPressley and I are calling on the @MBTA to make subway and bus lines fare-free for the duration of the Orange Line shutdown. Marginalized communities will bear the brunt of this devastating shutdown. They can't carry undue financial burden as well. https://t.co/812UyvIURD — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I've fought for decades for climate action, and with the Inflation Reduction Act, we're closer than ever to investing in climate and environmental justice. We must pass this package. And then we will continue in our fight for a livable future. https://t.co/gnsn6svFOF — PolitiTweet.org

Rideshare driving is dangerous. Uber, Lyft, and other app-based delivery companies must implement adequate policies to protect their workers and justly compensate them when assaults or other incidents tragically occur. https://t.co/0ruJVaoJ0Q — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

President Biden must declare what we already know to be true—the monkeypox outbreak is a public health emergency. This will allow the federal government to more easily acquire vaccines and medicines for vulnerable communities across our country and stop this outbreak. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is unacceptable: 85% of airport service workers at Florida's four largest airports couldn't afford their housing costs. My Good Jobs for Good Airports Act would fix this problem and raise labor standards for these workers. https://t.co/nDu80cyTOe — PolitiTweet.org

Environmental defenders take brave action to protect the planet and their communities but are often met with violence or persecution. We must stand up to private actors and governments placing profits over people, and help keep environmental defenders safe. https://t.co/ejZbpD7lBc — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

After Senate Republicans turned their backs on veterans who have suffered as a result of burn pits and Agent Orange last week, we have finally passed the PACT Act. This important bill will be the biggest expansion of veterans’ health care in decades; improving millions of lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Even some of the Republicans’ favorite economists are saying the Inflation Reduction Act will live up to its name. We can take climate action that lowers costs for Americans right now and builds the clean energy economy of tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The LGBTQ+ community is showing up for each other. Our federal government can do the same. We just have to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

To gay and bisexual men, who know the pain of ostracization and once again feel a familiar sense of fear, know I am with you. To the young people experiencing this painful disease, know there is no shame in contracting monkeypox, only in our nation’s inadequate response. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Existing disparities in health care are being laid bare, as Black and Brown members of the LGBTQ+ community are again hit the hardest with this latest virus. https://t.co/7CIMw1MwbB — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is the backdrop against which LGBTQ+ people are looking for help and then watching as the government comes up short. Last week, I called for reducing barriers to vaccines—this is essential. We also must say loudly and clearly that we won't let this be the 1980s again. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It's important to recognize that it is a scary time to be gay in America. Republican state legislatures are passing hateful and bigoted legislation that threatens LGBTQ+ lives and our extremist Court has made clear that gay marriage is on the chopping block. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

America has never done enough to protect LGBTQ+ people across our country. The way gay and bisexual men have come together to defend their community against Monkeypox is inspirational, but it shouldn't have to be this way. https://t.co/0KSnwizqKy — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, nearly 700 U.S. flights were canceled in a single day. These travelers deserve effective and accountable service, not further headaches in pursuit of their refund. My Cash Refunds for Flight Cancellations Act will get this done. https://t.co/jAQ5Ski28T — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We can fix this loophole and make sure the rule goes further to protect from climate change-related risks by including a requirement to fully disclose Scope 3 emissions and risks to disadvantaged communities. Then, the SEC can truly protect investors. https://t.co/lQPCB9wNf7 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

There are three types of greenhouse gas disclosures. Right now, a loophole in the rule means that Scope 3 emissions only have to be disclosed in limited scenarios. This leaves us without the full picture of companies' climate-related risks. https://t.co/mqoiTqkVQG — PolitiTweet.org
