The internet has changed a lot since 1998, but our children's privacy laws haven't. Threats to kids' privacy are worse than ever and online platforms have an insatiable appetite for their data and attention. Enough is enough. We must pass my bill to address these issues now. https://t.co/d2FqALkU29 — PolitiTweet.org

My bill, the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy and Protection Act just passed out of @commercedems. Now the Senate must pass this essential legislation to send a message to Big Tech that enough is enough. We have to stop the tracking and targeting of kids online. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, the Senate Commerce Committee has the opportunity to take an historic step towards stopping Big Tech’s predatory behavior. Watch as we fight to move my Children and Teens’ Online Privacy and Protection Act out of committee and towards Senate passage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate cafeteria workers deserve a fair contract. I am in solidarity with them. I will not cross the picket line and call on my colleagues to join me in supporting these essential workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We still have more work to do. That's why I introduced the Disabled Jurors Nondiscrimination Act with @RepKatiePorter to ensure people with disabilities cannot be excluded or disqualified from federal jury service on the basis of disability. #ADA32 — PolitiTweet.org

As we celebrate the 32nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, I remain committed to fulfilling its promise of the full inclusion and participation of people with disabilities in our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. must use every available tool to address Monkeypox and support patients suffering from the disease. We can effectively combat this virus, but the federal government has to act quickly and equitably. https://t.co/yVwCXXOs19 — PolitiTweet.org

This is an important step in sharing more information about the dangers of extreme heat as so many Americans suffer through a climate change-fueled extreme heat wave. Now we must pass my Preventing HEAT Illness and Deaths Act to support these efforts for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Tomorrow, the Senate will try to pass the Right to Contraception Act which would codify the Supreme Court's decision in Griswold v. Connecticut and recognize the right to obtain and use contraception. We must act now to protect this essential right. https://t.co/22aXmv51zS — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In the wake of a disastrous set of Supreme Court decisions this term, one thing is crystal clear—more fundamental rights of the American people are at risk. I'm calling for Senate passage of my Right to Contraception Act. There's no time to waste. https://t.co/amv0YF25qb — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The U.S. can’t wait a minute longer to sanction Burma’s state-run oil and gas company and push for the international community to impose a universal arms embargo. We must do everything we can to support the democratic aspirations of the people of Burma. https://t.co/XLLwpX2RWY — PolitiTweet.org

Big Papi is not only one of the greatest Red Sox of all time, but one of the greatest in the entire sport of baseball. Congrats @davidortiz on your Hall of Fame induction. We’ve known you were one of the best in Boston, it’s past time the rest of the country followed suit. https://t.co/lEE0dFHRhH — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am pleased @SFRC has passed my Cambodia Democracy and Human Rights Act to hold Cambodian officials accountable for corruption and abuse. I urge swift Senate and then House passage so we can sign this bill into law without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am a proud co-sponsor of S.J. Res. 56, a joint resolution to remove U.S. Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in Yemen. The U.S. must not support for the Saudi-led coalition as they engage in airstrikes on civilians and a despicable humanitarian blockade. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I urge U.N. Human Rights Chief @mbachelet to release the report on Xinjiang human rights violations as soon as possible. A credible report will add to the mountain of evidence documenting acts of genocide and other crimes. https://t.co/8moFmTTwoE — PolitiTweet.org

95% of USPS delivery routes can be electrified. So while I am glad to see USPS has heeded my call to buy more EVs, 40 percent is not enough. We need to protect our planet and our postal service by putting a forever stamp on a fleet of electric USPS trucks. https://t.co/QdmTXL73Yd — PolitiTweet.org

RT @NARAL: ICYMI: The U.S. House passed the #RightToContraception Act today. Now, it's up to the Senate to pass @SenMarkey’s Right to Contr… — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Next week @commercedems will take up my Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act, a critical bipartisan step to stop Big Tech from tracking and targeting kids online. Self-regulation has failed and we can’t let another generation grow up without the protection they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is unacceptable. Years of neglect and mismanagement have put MBTA riders in danger’s path. We need immediate action from the Governor to ensure safety as we resume full service. Anything less is a further abdication of leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The House just passed the Right to Contraception Act, which I’ve introduced in the Senate. Now the Senate must do the same and codify this essential right. We have to fight back against this illegitimate Supreme Court majority. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Our Commonwealth needs climate justice. 2,800 people in Massachusetts suffered air pollution-related deaths in 2019 alone. There were 15,000 related cases of pediatric asthma. Tackling air pollution means saving lives and protecting our climate—we need to take action now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Over 100 million Americans are facing dangerous heat during this week's deadly global heat wave. Our planet is running a fever and without bold action to combat the climate crisis, this extreme heat will only get worse. We have to act now. https://t.co/5KoPe93Ffx — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am pleased that @POTUS has taken action to implement ideas outlined in my and @RepBowman’s Heating and Cooling Relief Act to expand the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program’s provision of cooling relief to our communities as they face unprecedented extreme heat. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We are living through a climate crisis and we must govern like it. It was an honor to welcome @POTUS to Somerset where we stood at the intersection of our past, a decommissioned coal power plant, and on the precipice of our future: American-made clean energy jobs and industries. https://t.co/5nGeRzm8c8 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

But we know we need more. As I continue to fight in the halls of Congress to make progress on a climate and clean energy package, I support the President's commitment to taking additional executive action to confront the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Climate is the emergency of our time. President Biden announced some important steps today to take on extreme heat, help low-income families afford A/C, invest in environmental justice, and build jobs in the offshore wind industry. — PolitiTweet.org

The right to contraception is central to an individual’s privacy, health, and wellbeing. My bill will protect individuals who use contraceptives and the healthcare providers who prescribe them. https://t.co/OIzI0oLcbq — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

A stolen Supreme Court has taken away the right to abortion, and they are just getting started. We cannot sit idly by. I'm proud to introduce the Right to Contraception Act to codify this fundamental right and prevent this Court from committing another grave act of injustice. https://t.co/AnAoRWPsnX — PolitiTweet.org
