And as Senate staff move forward with their own unionizing efforts, I will repeat myself: it is completely right that Congressional workers should be unionized and I fully support the organizing efforts of @Congress_Union. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Congressional staff should no longer be excluded from the right to form a union. I want to extend a message of solidarity to House staff who are organizing and support for @RepAndyLevin's resolution that will ensure that House staffers are protected in their efforts to unionize. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The rules governing the most powerful platforms in history shouldn’t be decided by a handful of billionaires. Trump was banned from Twitter for inciting a violent insurrection. Congress must act now and regulate Big Tech. The future of our democracy depends on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is a good start—but the federal government and law enforcement also must not use this invasive surveillance technology. Congress should pass my Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act and stop government use of biometric technology. https://t.co/mZ6Qj7nCD6 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, 28 states are prepared to ban abortion. I am speaking now on the Senate floor in support of abolishing the filibuster and passing the Women's Health Protection Act to protect abortion access and codify Roe. https://t.co/mgSmCWWiYi — PolitiTweet.org

And finally, Holtec committed to meet with union representatives from the Laborers, Ironworkers, Carpenters, IBEW, and Operating Engineers regarding an ongoing labor dispute. We will hold Holtec to these commits. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As well, I had Holtec commit to working with an experienced, independent body to test the water and that the company would provide a financial backstop to ensure the full decommission and clean-up of the plant. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

At my field hearing in Plymouth Friday, I secured commitments from Holtec, the company charged with decommissioning @PilgrimNuclear, that it would not discharge any radioactive, contaminated water into Cape Cod Bay without the consent of stakeholders. https://t.co/2MfjMo7v0V — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

From a coup in Burma to human rights abuses in the Philippines and democratic backsliding in Cambodia, Vietnam & Thailand, SE Asia is out front in the battle for democracy. @POTUS must put human rights & respect for democratic institutions at the center of the U.S.-ASEAN Summit. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We will hold Holtec @PilgrimNuclear accountable to the commitments made at today's hearing and ensure that @NRCgov upholds its responsibility to be a watchdog through the decommissioning process. People in Plymouth and communities all across the country deserve nothing less. https://t.co/I2pP5xsqkk — PolitiTweet.org

For the elderly and immunocompromised, the COVID-19 threat remains a daily specter, and we must center those communities to ensure the death toll doesn’t match the rates of the past two years. I will fight to pass legislation that supports those most impacted by this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

And we must treat the lasting effects of long-COVID for those living with it, including with research, disability benefits, and quality health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must acknowledge and continue to address the disproportionate impact this pandemic is having on Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrant, and low-income communities. Our goal must be to confront the reckoning of injustice that this pandemic has made undeniable. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

There are no words to fully capture the loss of one million friends, loved ones, partners, family members, and those we did not know to COVID-19. Tragically, this pandemic is not yet over, not for the United States nor for the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The president and CEO of Holtec @PilgrimNuclear just affirmed that the plant would not discharge radioactive water into Cape Cod Bay without the consent of stakeholders. https://t.co/Ni0YmDRqMr — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The decommissioning of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant is a critical issue which cannot be allowed to undermine the economy and culture of this historic community. https://t.co/3tnyQrfg7X — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In my view, @NRCgov should not hesitate to tell nuclear plant operators to revise their decommissioning plans when they do not meet the needs of their host communities. https://t.co/Ycr2AMSiHV — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Families and businesses in communities with decommissioning nuclear power plants have honest and legitimate concerns about how plants affect their health, safety, livelihoods, and local economy. It's past time that the @NRCgov and nuclear industry take their input seriously. https://t.co/SUAwiyrArS — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

For years I have called on @NRCgov to respond to the concerns of residents about decommissioning nuclear plants, but time and time again, those calls have been ignored. I'm in Plymouth—home to the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station—for a US Senate field hearing.https://t.co/fsbHTuCPSJ — PolitiTweet.org

Too often, travelers struggle to get a refund after a flight cancellation or significant delay. That is why I led my colleagues in calling on DOT to strengthen consumer protections and make the refund process more transparent and efficient. https://t.co/KsAWkdwry6 — PolitiTweet.org

We need an @NRCgov that prioritizes public safety over industry profits, from the opening of a nuclear plant through to its decommissioning. Join me live at 10AM in Plymouth for a special US Senate field hearing on the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. https://t.co/qqlmCg7d2B — PolitiTweet.org

Big win for #NetNeutrality. When the Trump FCC eviscerated free and open internet rules, activists raised their voices & states stepped up. Now, Congress must act. That starts with confirming Gigi Sohn, so that consumers have a full FCC fighting for them. https://t.co/xTbc8TMdtn — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Americans are paying too much for dirty energy that pollutes our communities and undermines our health. My ICEE HOT Act will transition us away from costly, fossil fuels towards cheaper, cleaner renewable energy and put Americans to work manufacturing the clean energy revolution. https://t.co/MASZiPEq0c — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Trump and McConnell stole two seats and delegitimized the Supreme Court, all so they could repeal Roe v. Wade and attack the rights of poor and marginalized Americans. Now is the time to add four more seats to the Court, restore balance, and protect the right to an abortion. https://t.co/Z6dR0NerWD — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

At Tufts University, @ginamccarthy46 and I joined with hundreds of students, activists, and climate leaders to affirm that the US is ready to lead on climate action, that environmental justice must be central to our work, and that green union jobs are the key to a livable future. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Supreme Court is about to overrule Roe v. Wade, but if the Senate acts now, we can protect abortion rights and put an end to this stolen, far-right Court majority. https://t.co/Tv9yd82TW9 — PolitiTweet.org
