President Biden has wisely started implementing sanctions—our best non-military option—to impose consequences on the Kremlin, Russia’s defense sector, and Putin’s petro-oligarch cronies for this blatant violation of international law. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

My heart is with the people of Ukraine as they endure a savage, unjustified, and illegal violation of their sovereignty by Putin’s Russia. No country is allowed to draw new borders and use that as a pretext for an invasion. — PolitiTweet.org

It should be as easy for a Starbucks worker to organize a union as it is for a Starbucks customer to order their morning coffee. Both are wake-up calls. I stand with @SBWorkersUnited. https://t.co/KBidZVJGpP — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Farmer was a health care visionary and revolutionary who understood compassion and care went hand in hand. His passing is a tremendous loss for the global health community. We will all be forever grateful for his work to deliver health care to people around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Good morning from the Malden Warming Center where volunteers are doing God’s work on Earth feeding and caring for people who are homeless. Thank you to the loving and compassionate team at @MaldenWarmth for your work and to the residents who met with me today. https://t.co/Q3VcvDu5sd — PolitiTweet.org

We need to account for any fossil fuel pipeline project’s impacts on our communities and the climate. I will be introducing legislation to ensure that all FERC-approved projects are truly in the public interest. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

FERC finally asserted its responsibility to consider a gas pipeline’s impacts on the climate, landowners, environmental justice communities, and the environment. This long overdue update to natural gas pipeline policy is an important first step, but much more must be done. — PolitiTweet.org

Public transportation is an essential public good and it should be free for all. @MayorWu and I are talking now about her free bus pilot in Boston, my work in the Senate to make fare-free transit a reality, and what a Green New Deal city looks like. https://t.co/ilfWBCd6lB — PolitiTweet.org

Environmental justice needs to be at the forefront of all our policies. That means healthy air, healthy water, healthy food, healthy communities, and a healthy climate. You can’t manage what you don’t measure, so getting this tool right and putting it into practice is critical. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

9 days ago, @RepCori and I called on @POTUS to quickly release the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool. Today the @WHCEQ released a beta version so that communities can begin to engage and provide insight on how to improve this environmental justice tool. We are grateful. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Join @MayorWu and me today on Twitter Spaces and hear about our fight for free public transportation. We'll be going live at 1PM ET. https://t.co/L2ULECSruV — PolitiTweet.org

In 2020, @RepPressley and I introduced the Freedom to Move Act to fund free, safe, reliable, and accessible public transit. Now communities across Massachusetts are going fare-free. Free transit is no longer only a NUMTOT's dream. It is our reality and we're not slowing down. — PolitiTweet.org

We are not out of this pandemic yet. Get vaccinated. Get boosted. And wear a high quality mask. It is especially important for seniors, the immunocompromised, and unvaccinated children to take every step they can to protect themselves against COVID-19. https://t.co/mOiBnq12Vo — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Our global addiction to oil and natural gas—from Russia, from Saudi Arabia—keeps our world locked into dangerous cycles of conflict and corruption. But we have a way out. We can build a pathway to a more prosperous, more peaceful clean energy future. https://t.co/dwnwS7Xuva — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Our fossil fuel addiction is a catalyst for conflict. There is no military solution to the Ukraine-Russia crisis. A Green New Deal is a pathway for peace. https://t.co/ZvrJF3wUk9 — PolitiTweet.org

.@MayorWu and I are working together to make fare-free public transit a reality. Join us on Twitter Spaces Friday at 1PM and hear about Boston's free bus pilot, the Freedom to Move Act, and our fight for transit and climate justice. All aboard! ➡️ https://t.co/L2ULECSruV https://t.co/eqX2tvaL9d — PolitiTweet.org

Museveni’s security forces are violating Uganda’s constitution and human rights obligations by kidnapping, torturing, and intimidating Ugandans. We must stand with those who have bravely come forward and support efforts to hold perpetrators accountable. https://t.co/ERSPgIp1UI — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The most effective way to reduce the long-term security threat to Ukraine and Europe is to stop the spigot that puts billions of Euros and dollars into the hands of Vladimir Putin and his oligarch cronies in return for dirty fossil fuels. https://t.co/2eQ6K8xnl3 — PolitiTweet.org

Deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon is accelerating despite Brazil’s commitments at COP 26. Legitimizing land grabbing will only accelerate this harmful trend. The Brazilian government must make preserving the Amazon a top priority. https://t.co/vzjyGluHT3 — PolitiTweet.org

The US government is the largest purchaser in the world—making the announcement of the Buy Clean Task Force a historic one. The taskforce will not only help reduce harmful industrial pollutants and emissions, but increase transparency and demand for clean American-made products. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

There’s a negotiated path out of the Ukraine crisis that prevents war. It begins with prompt negotiations on the placement of nuclear capable missiles, military transparency measures, and mutual limits of nuclear weapons not covered by an existing agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I'm speaking in opposition to the nomination of Dr. Robert Califf to lead the FDA. When we met last year, I asked him to commit to ensure the FDA does not make the opioid overdose epidemic worse than it already has. He did not commit to the action we need. https://t.co/4ZV57NteYr — PolitiTweet.org

Only by centering justice in our fight against climate change can we save our world and build a more equitable future. Thank you Hannah Vogel and my terrific climate team for working alongside countless advocates and activists in support of this movement.https://t.co/D9TgAyMV59 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We can build transportation networks in and between communities that allow people to move without ever needing a car. @RepHuffman and I secured the Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program in the infrastructure law. Now we're asking that it gets fully funded. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepCori and I are calling on @POTUS to release the Economic Justice Screening Tool because what gets measured gets done. The data from this tool can help us finally begin to combat environmental racism and deliver climate justice for Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Right now there is a 350,000-person naturalization backlog at Federal Record Centers. That is unacceptable. The entire Massachusetts congressional delegation is united in calling on NARA to process these requests as quickly and safely as possible. https://t.co/og9i692Qgc https://t.co/aRjrIkMtD1 — PolitiTweet.org

Climate disasters are becoming more common and are disrupting vital communication services. @RonWyden and I support the @FCC's move to enhance network resiliency and are encouraging the agency to adopt rules aligned with our GREEN Communications Act. https://t.co/OjEOze5Hcx — PolitiTweet.org
