Today is Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Awareness Day. The EITC and CTC greatly reduce poverty for working families. Nationwide during 2021, 25 million eligible workers and families received about $60 billion in EITC funds. See if you are eligible here: https://t.co/M2BALvpDvW — PolitiTweet.org

@WPI @NASA We are certainly going to miss @LaurieofMars in Massachusetts, but we will be cheering you on. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Dr. Leshin leads with her brilliance. As @WPI's first female president, we in Massachusetts know she's an expert in breaking barriers of all kinds, which makes her the perfect choice to be @NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's first female Director. Congratulations, Dr. Leshin. — PolitiTweet.org

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we transform memories into action and recommit to making never again a reality. Only by remembering the millions of lives lost, uplifting the stories of survivors, and condemning all forms of hatred and bigotry, can we achieve this future. — PolitiTweet.org

I will fight for swift action on provisions I secured in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to promote Complete Streets, expand active transportation, address distracted driving, modernize seatback safety, and enhance recalls. These actions & more must move forward without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

The @USDOT National Roadway Safety Strategy is an essential plan for moving closer to the only acceptable number of traffic fatalities: ZERO. But implementation will be key to achieving this goal. https://t.co/vhhXjbeTTo — PolitiTweet.org

And in July, I introduced my Environmental Justice Air Quality Monitoring Act which authorizes $100 million every year for five years to identify and address air pollution hot spots at the block-level. https://t.co/Z7HhXCx7ZN — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Just two weeks ago I introduced the Technology Assessment for Air Quality Management Act: $55 million for the EPA to expand its toolbox with the best monitoring tech there is and protect the air we breathe. https://t.co/yWWYNLkRk9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Older Americans all across the country are dying early from exposure to air pollution. These tragic deaths are preventable. I've introduced two bills to directly address this crisis and bring justice and clean air to vulnerable communities everywhere. https://t.co/lWgfuk91ah — PolitiTweet.org

Behind the booming fireworks, the dynamic broadcasts, and the historic investments was the quiet giant David Mugar. His contributions to Boston will benefit generations to come. He never forgot where he came from, and Massachusetts will never forget him. — PolitiTweet.org

Please join me live now for a national town hall on climate action and environmental justice. https://t.co/dBAEHn9foG — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It’s great to commit to environmental justice. It’s even better if the programs we create from these commitments are led by—and accountable to—the communities we serve. I look forward to continue working with @BrendaMallory46 in our effort to make sure stakeholders are centered. — PolitiTweet.org

We owe him a great debt of gratitude. It is an honor and privilege to call Justice Breyer my dear personal friend, and I wish him the best in his retirement. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Justice Breyer knew that "justice for some" was a failure of the Court, and from his opinions on voting rights, to reproductive rights, to the Affordable Care Act, he has been a key voice in historic decisions that maintain the integrity and legitimacy of our judicial system. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

For decades, Justice Breyer has served with grace, expertise, humility, and an unwavering dedication to justice. He has worked tirelessly to build consensus among his fellow justices, and has always kept in mind the real-world impacts of the Court’s decisions on Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Restaurants are cultural, social, and economic backbones of our communities. The American Rescue Plan delivered a life raft to them last year, but as we head into the third year of this pandemic, we need to protect our restaurants and replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. — PolitiTweet.org

- Cease deployment of Trump's low-yield W76-2 warhead & further development of a nuclear-armed sea launched cruise missile - Question the necessity of new nuclear weapons systems & sustainability of the current program of work, including the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This #NuclearPostureReview must - Declare the sole purpose of nuclear weapons is to deter a nuclear attack on US & allies - Support negotiations with Russia to limit all types of nuclear weapons - Prioritize negotiating confidence & transparency building measures with China — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I, along with @SenJeffMerkley @RepDonBeyer & @RepGaramendi, am leading 50 colleagues to urge @POTUS to shape a #NuclearPostureReview that reduces the military role of US nuclear weapons and negotiates mutual limits that prevent the tit-for-tat arms race of the Cold War. https://t.co/UCFFTq2Mgt — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Specifically, all sides should show an openness to notifications of military exercises, the non-placement of INF Treaty range missiles, and limits on all types of nuclear weapons. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Our steadfast commitment to the NATO alliance and Ukraine’s sovereignty is non-negotiable. What should be negotiable are risk reduction and arms control measures with Russia that can advance our mutual security. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I welcome the Biden administration’s efforts to seek a diplomatic resolution. There is a path forward if Putin negotiates in good faith. But we must be clear-eyed that Putin’s actions, present and past, show he’s bent on destabilizing the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The crisis in Ukraine is the making of Vladimir Putin. Putin has a choice: he can launch a bloody, intractable war that leads to crushing sanctions and international isolation, or he can choose the diplomatic track, which is the path the Russian and Ukrainian people desire. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Reducing emissions is our best chance to achieve a livable future. But Republicans are asking the Supreme Court to gut the Clean Air Act. I'm joining 190+ of my Democratic colleagues to defend the Clean Air Act from Republican attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

My deepest condolences go out to the Owens family, his friends, his loved ones, and all of those whose lives have forever been impacted by his pioneering presence and achievements. Bill Owens will be forever missed. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

For 50 years, Bill Owens was my friend and inspiration. His presence grounded me in the realities of today’s struggles, and his spirit lifted my gaze and countless others to the opportunities and justice that remained to be created for future generations. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

He worked to create the State Office of Minority Business Assistance and the Summer Youth Jobs Program and for passage of the Assault Weapons Ban. The legacy of that important work continues to this day. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I was proud to support his effort with Doris Bunte and Mel King to create the first majority Black Senate District. The first Black State Senator needed to have a loud voice, and Bill Owens’s was as resonant and powerful and lasting as history required. — PolitiTweet.org
