Because of the service, dedication, and sacrifice of Sgt. Johanny Rosario of Lawrence and her fellow service members in Kabul, we were able to evacuate more than 100,000 people. We will honor the 13 service members killed during the evacuation with the Congressional Gold Medal. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to get the Build Back Better Act passed and on President Biden’s desk ASAP. We don’t have a moment to waste. The final package won’t be everything we need or want. But it will be a watershed moment for climate action and the beginning of the path to a Green New Deal. https://t.co/XTCS1FaSLT — PolitiTweet.org

We need to ensure that airline customers have basic consumer rights every time they fly. The Airline Passengers’ Bill of Rights gives passengers control over their flying experience, returning fairness to the skies. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

President Biden is right, the FTC needs to investigate this potentially criminal activity. But we already have all the evidence we need on one charge—the fossil fuel industry has been lying about climate change to prevent action for decades. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Big Oil is fueling climate change and siphoning money away from struggling families with high gas prices, all while spending huge sums lobbying climate deniers and preventing us from shifting gears to cheaper and cleaner alternatives. https://t.co/LtpC8UbnNT — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. has all the tools it needs to be fully in line with the Kigali Treaty, cut down super-polluting hydrofluorocarbons, and slow global warming. The Senate should ratify quickly to forge a climate-safe future for our people and our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m also encouraged that President Biden asked Xi for direct "strategic stability" nuclear talks, as I’ve been calling for. We can and must avoid a Cold War-style nuclear arms race between China and the U.S., but that will require direct, open dialogue. https://t.co/58AxotFOKU — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I commend President Biden for engaging with Xi Jinping on issues like nuclear non-proliferation, the climate crisis, and human rights. It's extremely important that we have open communication with China so we can seek cooperation and avoid miscalculations. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Congratulations @MayorWu on your historic swearing-in today. And thank you for proudly fighting for a Boston Green New Deal. I’m excited to be your partner in Washington and to help make Boston a national model for climate justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Hundreds of thousands of people earning at least $15/hour, health care benefits, improved educational grants, and job training in partnership with unions to serve their communities, fight the climate crisis, and rebuild America. That's the CCC @RepAOC and I are fighting for. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

About 50 kids die each year because of seatback failures. Yet, seatback safety standards haven’t been substantially updated since 1967. My legislation, included in the infrastructure bill, will require NHTSA to finally act on this issue. https://t.co/x8BbMVsat0 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

President Biden signed a crucial step of our agenda today. But we cannot and will not stop with just this infrastructure bill. We are going to work to ensure that we’re back at the White House soon to see him sign historic investments in climate and clean energy into law. https://t.co/SyGPKGVaMt — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

For the past 46 years, my New England friend @SenatorLeahy has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the people of Vermont, his colleagues, and our democracy. I thank him for his proud leadership in the US Senate and know he will leave an unrivaled legacy in the US Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, President Biden signed into law the bipartisan infrastructure package, a major investment in our communities and a critical part of our agenda. I can't wait to be back here at the White House as soon as humanly possible for the President to sign the Build Back Better Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Here in Massachusetts, where the Wampanoag language has been brought back to life after 150 years of dormancy, we have seen first-hand the transformation which occurs when Tribal Nations have the resources to invest in language reclamation and revitalization. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I applaud this effort to preserve and protect Native languages. For 150 years, violent US policy of forced assimilation has aimed to permanently separate Native people from their language and culture. We must support Tribal efforts to recover from this centuries-long oppression. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

$9 billion in infrastructure investments in Massachusetts means replacing bridges, improving transit, and expanding broadband. Today President Biden signs the bipartisan infrastructure bill into law while we continue to fight for the full Build Back Better deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Are you signed up for the Child Tax Credit? Are your friends and neighbors? Spread the word and help make sure every family is getting their $300 per child monthly payments. Today is the last day in 2021 to sign up for payments before the new year at https://t.co/23us8W5K76. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Business as usual and the status quo are death sentences. We must make climate central to all policymaking domestically, promote justice for those bearing the brunt of this crisis, ensure polluters pay, and lead by example with ambition, intersectionality, and conviction. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The draft agreement for the first time takes steps to phase out fossil fuels. President Biden made historic climate financing pledges. And the U.S. and China made a joint commitment to cooperate to combat climate change. Yet, it is not enough simply to take these important steps. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

#COP26 is ending, but our climate work continues in greater urgency. The United States and other countries who have contributed the most to the climate crisis must be leading efforts to do the most to reverse its course. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In today’s increasingly connected world, we must animate our technology with our values. That’s why I was so proud to help lead this bipartisan effort, which will keep compromised equipment out of U.S. telecommunications networks and ensure our technology is safe and secure. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Yesterday I met with German parliamentarians as they form a new government. I look forward to continuing our close friendship—one based on shared values of freedom and democracy—as we push to meet climate goals, protect human rights, and strengthen the trans-Atlantic alliance. https://t.co/v6lnrUkRLn — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It is Congress’ responsibility to continue to fight for our service members’ access to care and opportunity, just as they have fought for our freedom. Today, and every day, I am forever grateful to our nation’s veterans for their courage and proud service. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must provide accessible mental health resources and substance misuse treatment and recovery for those suffering from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or traumatic brain injury, as well as extend our national eviction moratorium and increase home heating assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must work to ensure our Soldiers Homes—like those in Chelsea and Holyoke, and our VA hospitals in Bedford and Jamaica Plain are safe, secure, and held to account. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The pandemic has left our veterans especially vulnerable to a devastating health crisis, economic uncertainty, and housing insecurity. This Veterans Day, we recommit to honoring those who have served and sacrificed and ensuring they have the support and protections they earned. — PolitiTweet.org

As abortion is under fire by right-wing extremists in state houses and courtrooms, we need to organize for reproductive health care. Massachusetts is fortunate to have @reproequity_now leading that charge and I'm grateful to continue working with them. — PolitiTweet.org
