We cannot let hype and paranoia about China’s military advances goad us into a new arms race. This is not a “Sputnik Moment” as the Pentagon claims. It should be a moment, however, for restraint and talks with China to reduce nuclear weapons risks. https://t.co/JszrGG6n0r — PolitiTweet.org

In 2019, airlines worldwide bilked $109.5 BILLION in fees from customers—five times what they grabbed in 2010. Enough with the unfair and exorbitant fees. Today we are reintroducing our FAIR Fees Act: Forbidding Airlines from Imposing Ridiculous Fees. https://t.co/g77iw0LEdJ — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS is putting our federal resources and purchasing power toward accelerating American leadership in climate resiliency and clean technology. He's showing that our government can be a force for good: good jobs, good air, good water, and good relationships with the world. — PolitiTweet.org

It is great news that the Senate has confirmed Rachael Rollins as the US Attorney for the District of MA. @DARollins is dedicated to transforming the criminal justice system so that it delivers equal justice. She will bring a renewed energy and innovative vision to this office. — PolitiTweet.org

The public has the right to know what drug companies are making opioid painkillers, how many, and their justification for asking the DEA to approve their quota requests. @RepCicilline and I are reintroducing a bill to bring accountability and transparency to opioid manufacturing. https://t.co/UlaobCmD22 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Together we worked to implement the Emergency Connectivity Fund, providing $7.17B in E-Rate funding, including $47.5M for Massachusetts. Chairwoman Rosenworcel will continue to successfully administer this program and is the best person to lead the FCC in its important work. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

She understands that broadband access is an essential utility to millions of small businesses, communities, and students, and has long partnered with me in addressing the ‘homework gap’ to ensure every student has internet connectivity to complete their homework at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Chairwoman Rosenworcel has served as a tireless advocate for consumer protection in today’s digital landscape. The FCC needs a chair who understands the importance of net neutrality and critical protections for broadband users. Chairwoman Rosenworcel is up for the task. — PolitiTweet.org

In April, with 23 @SenateDems colleagues, I called on President Biden to finally close Guantanamo Bay—a shameful stain on our country. Today @JudiciaryDems are holding an oversight hearing on ending indefinite detention and the failed military commission system at the prison. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I commend the Biden administration’s decision to implement a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics. We must seek areas of cooperation where possible with China but we must also speak up in the face of blatant human rights abuses. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Senate should urgently pass my Rohingya Genocide Determination Act to recognize the genocide for what it was and provide some justice for the Rohingya people and all the people of Burma. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Biden administration also must make a formal declaration as to whether the crimes committed by the Burmese military against the Rohingya people in 2017 constitute genocide. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The United States can best help support the aspirations of the people of Burma by preventing oil and gas revenues from flowing into the Burmese military’s coffers, a step for which I have repeatedly called. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Burmese military must end its assault on freedom of expression and rule of law, release all political prisoners, and restore the democratically-elected government of Burma. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This sentence, which is devoid of legal merit, is another step in the Burmese military’s campaign to thwart the will of the people of Burma in their quest for freedom and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I will continue to work with the NRC, EPA, MassDEP, Holtec, and state officials to ensure the safety and security of Pilgrim and the surrounding communities is paramount during this process. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Holtec and NRC have consistently prioritized savings over safety in the Pilgrim nuclear plant decommissioning process. Local participation, transparency, and safety must be central to any and all decisions made during the decommissioning process. https://t.co/ypKkcupah6 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The new Boston Arts Academy building in Fenway is a model for the kind of sustainable and energy saving construction we are going to build all across the across the country to meet our climate goals.
