Communities of color breathe dirtier air, with pollutants varying up to 800% from one end of a city block to the next. Only by assessing air quality block-by-block can we ensure all Americans have clean and safe air, regardless of their race, ZIP code, or income. — PolitiTweet.org

Taunton Public Schools are leading the nation in providing students the internet connectivity they need. Today I met with local leaders, students, and teachers at the @MulcaheySchool to celebrate the $1,733,337 in federal emergency connectivity funding I helped deliver. https://t.co/zMBuRvyW86 — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why I included a provision in my CHARGE Act to ban these harmful practices by ISO-New England and system operators across the country, in order to promote competition in wholesale markets while preserving reliability and affordability for customers. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

ISO-New England asked for two years to get its house in order to produce a reliable grid that meets our clean energy targets and doesn’t artificially raise rates. I’m going to continue to fight to make sure that our decarbonization goals aren’t delayed or denied. — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud to join the exceptional team from the @EPA in announcing $76.7 million in funding for the clean-up of New Bedford harbor. With this investment and powerful cross-government collaboration we will restore these waters for the people. https://t.co/QGXHDT8Zmm — PolitiTweet.org

If Roe V. Wade is overturned, information about app users' fertility, browser history, and location could become a data trove for those looking to target or intimidate people seeking an abortion. Apple and Google must prohibit apps from sharing this data. https://t.co/Wbv6XUOUn9 — PolitiTweet.org

Let us each pause and remember those we have lost in service of our country, our values, and our democracy this Memorial Day. Our duty is to honor their memory and work together to build a better nation and world worthy of their sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

The long term impacts of COVID-19 are incredibly serious and require substantial federal attention, resources, and funding. My colleagues and I are requesting $125 million in the FY2023 budget to address these issues. https://t.co/ebwn7THLw6 — PolitiTweet.org

Americans deserve to know that food on the kitchen table is safe but right now the FDA is shirking its responsibility and manufacturers can self-regulate chemicals entering our food supply. Congress must restore confidence in the safety of our food. https://t.co/v7J45Jm1hn — PolitiTweet.org

The NRA is a goddamn disgrace. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today I joined @Everytown, @MomsDemand, @StudentsDemand, and countless activists and organizers to say enough is enough. Congress must pass gun safety legislation and end the epidemic of gun violence in our country now. https://t.co/vaw61xOb3h — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a shameful but well-documented reality that the United States has long prioritized European Christian migrants. That must end. Refugees from Afghanistan and around the world facing persecution, instability, and violence should not face barriers that Ukrainians get to bypass. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In just over a month, the Biden administration approved 6,000 Ukrainians for humanitarian parole, but just 270 Afghan applicants have been approved. We urge @USCIS to adopt an approach to Afghan refugees that mirrors the treatment of Ukrainians. https://t.co/DqzxEMXhsm — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Congress has a moral responsibility to address gun violence, but Republicans refuse to act. I am standing with activists and advocates from @Everytown to demand that we abolish the filibuster and pass comprehensive gun safety legislation now. https://t.co/nbgsLWTcIp — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I have hope because of leaders like Prime Minister @jacindaardern who has faced our nations’ greatest challenges like gun violence and the climate crisis head on. I am inspired after our meeting and know a better future is possible. Enjoy Massachusetts tomorrow, Prime Minister. https://t.co/iZMBbgkqvX — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Abolish the filibuster and pass gun safety legislation now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am horrified by news of another mass shooting and my heart breaks for the families of the young children and teacher killed in Uvalde. Congress has a moral responsibility to end gun violence now. To those who refuse to act, there are no excuses. Only complicity and shame. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The stakes for our planet have never been higher. We must break the cycle of nuclear escalation and secure a future where the fate of millions no longer hangs on the whims and judgment of fallible leaders or the military-industrial complex. https://t.co/appJfGXphF — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Republicans are trying to save a nuclear bomb that is 100 times more powerful than the one used on Hiroshima. That’s homicidal. Luckily, @POTUS reportedly plans to retire it. No matter what we must do more to move the Doomsday Clock back from midnight. https://t.co/MdHZhex2qG — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease that deprives millions of Americans of their quality of life and well-being. I am proud to help introduce legislation that builds on progress spurred by the National Alzheimer’s Project Act, which I co-authored in 2010. https://t.co/A16cl4xrcY — PolitiTweet.org

Putin just banned me from Russia. The only thing this does is confirm what we’ve known all along—Putin and his Big Oil cronies are lashing out because they can no longer prey on U.S. consumers to fund their fossil fueled conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today Republicans blocked the Small Business COVID Relief Act and turned their back on small businesses who have shouldered the burden of this pandemic. Congress must provide relief so these businesses can get the resources they need to keep our local economies thriving. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump made firearm manufacturers exempt from pandemic restrictions. Now gun sales and shipments are skyrocketing, creating a rich target for theft. I’m asking shipping companies for more information to prevent guns from being stolen during transit. https://t.co/AGwijnVhKE — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As the privacy and wellbeing of kids and teens online reaches a crisis point, this statement by the FTC is an important step. But it can't replace legislative action. Congress must pass my bipartisan bill to protect kids and teens online. https://t.co/CBmdUC3Is1 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Participating in my school's science fair planted the seeds for my career-long opposition to the nuclear arms race. I know how important these projects are and am proud of these future scientists from @LexingtonHSMa as they advance to the National Science Bowl's National Finals. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

President Biden is right to invoke the Defense Production Act and fly in supplies from abroad to make sure that parents and caregivers across the country have the baby formula they desperately need. We must not let corporate greed stand in the way of feeding our children. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Congress needs to pass bold and ambitious climate legislation that addresses the full scale of the climate crisis and delivers clean energy, jobs, and justice. But the Biden Administration can also take important action right now to make progress on our clean power goals. — PolitiTweet.org
