RT @JudiciaryDems: No more cowering before the mob. Our democracy is in the crosshairs of domestic extremists. It’s time to take a stand.… — PolitiTweet.org

Carving out the filibuster to raise the debt ceiling shows there are enough senators who believe some things are more important than an arcane Senate rule. What could possibly be more important than protecting our very democracy? Abolish the filibuster, protect voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org

The Federal Reserve must take an active role in protecting the banking system, and all those who depend upon it, from financial risks fueled by climate change. https://t.co/8JVNvO2CPS — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need a Federal Reserve chair who is willing to use the Fed’s existing authority to protect Americans and safeguard our financial system from climate change. Jerome Powell has not shown the necessary leadership. The climate crisis is too big for the Fed to fail. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The military-industrial complex is working hard to preserve over $1 trillion in plans to upgrade U.S. nuclear weapons. That is insane. That is overkill. President Biden’s Nuclear Posture Review should reflect his own stated views to reduce the role of nuclear weapons. https://t.co/FRsrEhAu7T — PolitiTweet.org

LIHEAP is the main federal program that helps low-income households and seniors with their energy bills. This historic amount is more than double Massachusetts's typical annual funding for the energy assistance program. https://t.co/jSDTXMvieB — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Our most vulnerable residents need support staying warm this winter. With bitter cold temperatures bearing down on the Northeast, @SenWarren and I are announcing that Massachusetts will receive a record $307.5 million for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program for FY2022. — PolitiTweet.org

When we made the case for her confirmation in the Senate, the message was simple: let DA Rollins' record speak for itself. I know her work will continue to speak for itself, and it will be a model for the rest of the country. Congratulations, US Attorney Rollins. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It is a very good day today because @DARollins just became US Attorney Rollins. She is the first Black woman to serve as Massachusetts' top federal prosecutor and she carries with her a powerful record of transforming criminal justice systems so that they deliver true justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply saddened at the loss of my friend, Marilyn Bergman, legendary songwriter and passionate advocate, who in a duet with her husband, Alan, gave us some of the most beautiful music of all time. https://t.co/NAicygDMBO — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations Nicole Obi, the new President and CEO of @BECMAinc and thank you @revrenddoctor for your leadership at BECMA and for all that you have invested in our communities. Looking forward to supporting and partnering with each of you in your important work. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As we reflect on the Jan. 6 attack one year later, we must understand that this problem is larger than any one person, candidate, or election cycle. I'm live on the Senate floor demanding we protect our democracy. https://t.co/f4v9UjvjFk — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, I am once again reminded that I have the best staff I could ask for. I thank them today and every day for their brilliance, loyalty, resilience, and spirit. They make the US Capitol run along with all of the essential workers and staff. I cannot thank them all enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

One year ago today, anti-democratic, white supremacist forces stormed the Capitol and violently attempted to overturn the 2020 election. They failed, but they have not stopped working to dismantle our Constitution. We must strengthen our democracy. https://t.co/uuQKQ4gPPK — PolitiTweet.org

Our clean energy future will be brighter than the sun if we invest now in renewable and resilient infrastructure. Thank you @SecGranholm for visiting Massachusetts and stopping by my neighborhood in Malden to see what can be accomplished when we go green. https://t.co/CGswcz8r5f — PolitiTweet.org

It's up to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to stop utility companies from manipulating the market. @RepBowman, @janschakowsky, and I are calling on FERC to use its authority to protect people from unfairly high heating and energy prices this winter. https://t.co/Aoq8VNyEIE — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

For decades, the far right has been hyper-focused on stealing the Supreme Court in order to erode basic rights. And then they did it. But we're fighting back and now, in 2022, the movement to expand the Court and restore justice has never been stronger and will only keep growing. — PolitiTweet.org

I, for one, would like the airlines to start treating their passengers fairly. https://t.co/FGNH1jMh0U — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Manchin supports climate and clean energy. I support climate and clean energy. We are in agreement on addressing the greatest crisis and economic opportunity our world has ever known. Let's get it done and pass these provisions in Build Back Better now. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenWarren and I are calling on DHS and ICE to conduct an immediate review of conditions at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility after hearing serious concerns about the treatment and care of people who are detained. https://t.co/oyMNYqmQVK https://t.co/qAw9tFfPjz — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

When the economy was at stake, the Senate made an exception to the filibuster to raise the debt ceiling. Well, our very democracy is at stake and we must get the filibuster out of our way to protect voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

There are no winners in an arms race. My and @RepMcGovern’s HALT Act lays out a blueprint of practical, negotiated steps that the nuclear weapons powers should take to avoid a repeat of the arms race of the last century. https://t.co/TvuGQOqc8j — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

A positive step by the nuclear weapons powers of the world to all affirm, “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.” Each must go further by shelving new nuclear warfighting capabilities. President Biden can lead the way in his Nuclear Posture Review. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Alaska is setting record high temperatures for December with regions shattering previous highs by 20 degrees. We must pass climate legislation that addresses this crisis and protects our existing cultural and natural treasures like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This year, it’s balmy weather in Alaska and super droughts out West. Next year, it will be more devastating floods as a result of the melting ice and rising sea levels. Every year doesn’t have to come with new horrors. We need bold climate action now. https://t.co/TUoiA8ytAc — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Reid led a life of integrity and conviction. He was a steward of our planet and our principles, and our nation is better for his service. His legacy will serve as a guide for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The EPA heeded my call to increase its ambition and issued a stronger final vehicle emissions rule that will result in more savings and more climate benefits. We are past the time to slowly coast forward on climate action—we need to put the pedal to the emissions-reducing metal. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @dharnanoor: .@SenMarkey filed an amendment to the military $$ bill to redirect 1% to global climate aid. “Driven by the climate crisis… — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Climate crisis-induced water, food, and resource scarcity will force millions around the world to become stateless, climate refugees. The United States should divert military spending towards global resiliency and emissions reductions to save lives. https://t.co/sWWFlONPOd — PolitiTweet.org
