The decade-long rise in pedestrian deaths is alarming and disproportionately hurting minority communities. Congress must fully fund my Active Transportation program and adopt a Complete Streets approach so that our roads are safe for all users. https://t.co/LKPH73ZYUq — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Thank you, @UPS for taking steps to halt the shipment of dangerous ghost guns. All shipping companies must heed my call and do their part to protect our communities from the threat of gun violence at the hands of untraceable weapons. https://t.co/W07PWn8dHs — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans tried and failed to stand in the way of Massachusetts voting rights. Early voting, extended registration, and vote by mail are essential to our democracy. I applaud @cindycreem, @repjohnlawn, and their colleagues for passing the VOTES Act and securing these rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I was proud to join my colleagues at the White House as President Biden signed the bipartisan Safer Communities Act into law. Now, Congress must act boldly in defense of our communities and do more to end gun violence across our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must protect our firefighters in Massachusetts and across the country. We need better testing, remediation, funding, and protection for our firefighters and their communities to turn these forever chemicals into never chemicals. https://t.co/rrOQZRu60P — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Families should always be able to sit together on an airplane at no extra charge, especially as we continue to battle COVID19. @RepCohen and I have been calling for this simple accommodation and airlines should listen to @USDOT and implement this important policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Eid Mubarak! Wishing joy, peace, and good health to all those celebrating Eid al-Adha in Massachusetts and across the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

.@POTUS's actions, including directing the FTC to safeguard the privacy of individuals seeking an abortion, are an important step in the fight to protect essential abortion rights. Now, Congress must go further to abolish the filibuster and codify Roe. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

.@POTUS must address the racist and harmful legacy of cannabis policies on Black and Brown communities who are disproportionately arrested for cannabis possession. I'm proud to join my colleagues in calling for swift action to address this decades-long injustice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Travelers are facing record delays and cancellations across the country. This $62 million, long-term investment in Boston's Logan Airport will create over a thousand new jobs, fund renovations, and improve service at one of our nation’s finest airports. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In May, Holtec committed to not discharge radioactive spent fuel water into Cape Cod Bay without stakeholder consent. I applaud @EPA's continued forceful response to Holtec, which must not violate Pilgrim's discharge permit and dump any contaminated water. https://t.co/VQjE4pHc3a — PolitiTweet.org

After a sham one-day trial, legal scholar and activist Xu Zhiyong is awaiting sentencing for his advocacy on social injustices in China. Xu Zhiyong and others who have been unjustly imprisoned must be immediately released. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As families come together to celebrate America, they are gunned down in the scourge of gun violence plaguing it. This is a tragedy. The Bipartisan Gun Law was a first step, but Congress must do more to stop this deadly epidemic and save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am outraged by the violent murder of Jayland Walker in Akron, Ohio. Where is the justice when Black people are routinely killed by police? No one should be above the law. We must end the oppressive use of qualified immunity and fight for racial justice. https://t.co/qU9GwcnI02 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

After nearly 250 years this nation still has not achieved our founding ideals. As we fight to rebuild a country where everyone is truly free we must look to the historic activists and organizers who have long fought for a better future with real liberty and justice in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The white supremacists who marched in Boston today represent only cowardice and bigotry. Across the Commonwealth, we condemn these disgusting acts and remain firm in our commitment to true equality and justice for all. Hate is not welcome here. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The vision of a Green New Deal and the just and livable future that all children deserve is thriving at @GreentownLabs in Somerville. https://t.co/Q5TzkRgGGx — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Along with @SenWarren and @RepKClark, I am urging Tenet Healthcare not to close MetroWest Medical Center's oncology departments—closures which would place an undue burden on medically and financially vulnerable families in the MetroWest area. https://t.co/fzqTDUQaWu — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

At a time when we are facing so many challenges, setbacks, struggles, and crises, it is important that we celebrate the joy and hope inspired by the historic swearing-in of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Congratulations Justice Jackson. https://t.co/gNsiyOPQYE — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It is beyond shameful that the gun industry is marketing AR-15s to children. That is why I have demanded that the FTC investigate these companies and their deadly marketing practices. Thank you @GavinNewsom for your leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As the Fourth of July weekend approaches, the reliability of the air travel system is paramount. Airlines need to act now, prioritize their passengers, and address schedule issues without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In December, I demanded the government expand humanitarian parole for Afghan refugees. In May, I called out the stark inconsistencies in how applicants from Ukraine & Afghanistan are treated. Now the Biden Admin. has listened and will welcome many more refugees from Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today’s decision will allow thousands of asylum seekers to stay in the United States as they await asylum. I support @POTUS’ ability to save lives and make this change. However, we must expand the Court and ensure that all decisions will reflect the will of the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Renewable energy is more affordable, reliable, and in-demand than ever and Massachusetts is ready to lead the clean energy revolution. That is why I led a discussion today about our future with clean energy leaders and stakeholders, including @ISONewEngland, at @GreentownLabs. https://t.co/sgYo8o5qxE — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Please join me live now for a press conference on the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision in West Virginia v. EPA. https://t.co/Evs6kEngNO — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must expand the Court to restore balance to the bench, and we must pass the climate justice and clean energy package that will enable our urgent efforts to address the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I call on my colleagues to take seriously the threat this illegitimate, far-right Supreme Court poses to preventing the federal government from acting as Congress intended. — PolitiTweet.org
