Today, Haitians face significant challenges—including political instability and a lack of essential services and security. I support the Haitian community at home and abroad in their ongoing work to restore democracy and security to the people of Haiti. — PolitiTweet.org

On this Haitian Flag Day, we recognize the important contributions of people of Haitian descent to Massachusetts and the United States. Haiti was the first free Black republic in the Western Hemisphere and its flag serves as an inspiring symbol of freedom from colonization. — PolitiTweet.org

Gun manufacturers are marketing AR-15-style assault rifles to children too young to use the stove, much less a firearm. These are weapons of war that have no place in the hands of kids. I'm calling on the @FTC to investigate. https://t.co/MgiCiIt325 — PolitiTweet.org

On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia we recommit to fighting hatred and bigotry anywhere it may occur. LGBTQ rights are human rights and we must ensure that all people, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation, can live without fear. — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic is not over. We should do more than mail tests to Americans, we should be sending high quality N95 and KN95 masks to everyone so that they can protect themselves and their loved ones from the highly contagious omicron variant. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The USPS will send you 8 COVID-19 rapid tests for free. Sign up to get the tests you need at https://t.co/jFsJsbLBws. — PolitiTweet.org

As the crisis in Myanmar continues, Malaysian MP @mpklang and I are calling for ASEAN to lead a strong, coordinated, global response including delivering humanitarian aid to the millions in need and opening our doors to those refugees fleeing the brutal military regime. — PolitiTweet.org

Just a day after the horrific shooting in Buffalo, I am further incensed by a mass shooting at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods. No one should fear the threat of gun violence in their place of worship, grocery shopping for their families, or anywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am grieving for the victims of the white supremacist mass shooting in Buffalo and for their loved ones. We must all join together in support for this community and take action against hate, racism, and violence everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Here is the truth: by letting profit-driven corporations like Holtec call all the shots on decommissioning, @NRCgov is not doing its job. We need a nuclear plant regulator that prioritizes community input and safety, not private sector efficiency. https://t.co/YNnk9Bw2gw — PolitiTweet.org

Caregivers and essential workers are on the front lines of the climate crisis. @MaryKayHenry and @SEIU are right: investing in care means investing in resilient communities in order to survive climate disasters, support public health, and keep our caretakers safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, @POTUS recognized the tragic loss of 1 million American lives to COVID-19. I am urging @HHSGov and @CDCgov not to leave behind the millions of seniors, people with disabilities, and the immunocompromised who are most at risk. https://t.co/mXZ9pw7Q02 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Using violent force against grieving mourners at a funeral is uncalled for and inexcusable. Israeli police must let Palestinians mourn the loss of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh without interference. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is a tragedy and there must be a fair, thorough, and transparent investigation. Journalism is not a crime and there must be accountability for her murder. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The answer to America's unjust health care system and our ongoing public health crisis is Medicare for All. I'm proud to cosponsor this legislation to make universal, affordable health coverage a right for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We don't need to sell off more of our coasts. Oil companies are already making record-breaking profits while squatting on millions of offshore acres. New lease sales would lock us into climate catastrophe. Instead, let's break our fossil fuel addiction and deploy clean energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Just as airplanes don’t fly without pilots, our aviation system would collapse without the airport service workers who work tirelessly around the country. I was proud to stand with @SEIU and @CWAUnion in the fight for the fair wages and benefits that these workers deserve. https://t.co/6MbB4d3k1F — PolitiTweet.org

Last night my Senate colleagues and I delivered a strong message to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen as he arrives in the United States: live up to the democratic promise of the Paris Peace Agreements and protect the rights of all Cambodians. https://t.co/hbJUjlG9jI — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We’ve secured another important win from Holtec: a promise to explore other options for contaminated @PilgrimNuclear water⁠—including storage or trucking it away for safer disposal—and to not release water without consensus from stakeholders after independent, third-party tests. https://t.co/iAAvwmjdOh — PolitiTweet.org

As we work to abolish the filibuster and expand the Court to avoid this egregious impending Supreme Court decision, we need to remember that abortion remains legal and Roe v. Wade still stands. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

A radical Republican minority in the Senate and an illegitimate, far-right majority on the Court cannot be allowed to hold hostage the will of the people who believe Roe v. Wade should remain the law of the land. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Blocking passage of the Women's Health Protection Act and denying the right of millions of Americans to a safe and legal abortion is not only unacceptable⁠ but dangerous. We must abolish the filibuster, codify Roe, and expand the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am proud to have voted to confirm Alvaro Bedoya to serve on the @FTC. Now, the FTC must use its full authority to protect consumers, particularly those in marginalized communities who experience disproportionate harm online and offline. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am proud to have voted to confirm Alvaro Bedoya to serve as Commissioner to the @FTC. With a full slate of commissioners, the FTC must now use its full authority to protect consumers, particularly those in marginalized communities who experience disproportionate harm online. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week I joined @NABTU and @Orsted to celebrate a first-of-its-kind national offshore wind project labor agreement for projects all along the east coast of the United States. The clean energy revolution is here, it is union powered, it's not slowing down. https://t.co/i1iJOQfsaT — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The movement to expand the Court is growing for one simple reason: we are right. With the Supreme Court ready to overturn Roe v. Wade, the loss of a bedrock constitutional right is no longer just a hypothetical. Now is the time to act and reclaim the Court. — PolitiTweet.org
