We must use every tool we possess to hold destructive companies and individuals responsible for climate damage. We're urging State and Treasury to use their sanctioning authorities to penalize those responsible for contributing to the worst effects of climate change. https://t.co/Kk2HBtM0cW — PolitiTweet.org

TECRA would ensure that existing sanctions under the Global Magnitsky program also cover corruption that results in climate-damaging projects as well as human rights abuses of environment defenders and climate-displaced persons. https://t.co/udguSM2Nj4 — PolitiTweet.org

Providing flight attendants – our first responders in the sky – their required rest and installing secondary cockpit barriers are both urgent safety issues. The FAA must implement the rules that Congress already required without further delay. @afa_cwa @ALPAPilots https://t.co/iWPYqW8EMa — PolitiTweet.org

Allowing Medicare to negotiate prices is an important step that will reduce out-of-pocket costs for seniors while reining in runaway drug costs. In the richest country in the world, no one should have to choose between their health and their financial security. — PolitiTweet.org

Blocking Congressional debate on voting rights is white supremacy in the electoral process. We must abolish the Jim Crow filibuster. My full statement in response to Republicans blocking debate on voting rights legislation for the fourth time: https://t.co/x9x3pZ1b0H — PolitiTweet.org

Companies that violate the law and take advantage of workers need to face real consequences. PRO Act language that authorizes $50,000 penalties for NLRB violations is in the BBB deal and that penalty can be doubled for repeat violations. Let's get it done for the working class. — PolitiTweet.org

I am extremely concerned by the worsening violence in Ethiopia. Continuing to escalate this conflict will only lead to pain and suffering for the Ethiopian people. I urge all sides to return to the negotiating table. There is no military solution to this conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. has a moral obligation to be a world leader in addressing the climate change-fueled displacement disaster. While we work on comprehensive solutions, President Biden should use existing authorities to help those who need immediate protection. https://t.co/qU1bS38ns5 — PolitiTweet.org

We need to prioritize frontline communities, stop dangerous industry practices, and secure international commitments. I will continue to work in Congress to hold methane emitters accountable and pass legislation that will help us meet our health, justice, and climate goals. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Methane has 80 times more global warming potential than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period and global emissions are at an all-time high. This is an important step by the Biden administration for the billions imperiled by the climate crisis. But more work is needed. — PolitiTweet.org

If Facebook really cared about “societal concerns,” it would completely abandon plans to launch Instagram for kids and support my legislation to give children and teens an online privacy bill of rights for the 21st Century. So far it has refused to do both.https://t.co/Id5bl1i1Nc — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We now have even more evidence that Facebook is determined to target and hook kids as young as 6. This company has a record of threatening children’s wellbeing and preying on young users. They won’t change unless Congress passes legislation to protect children online. — PolitiTweet.org

The @SEIU is calling for Court expansion to protect our democracy, restore legitimacy to SCOTUS, and stop this stolen, far-right bench from stripping working people of their rights. The movement to expand the Supreme Court is growing and with the SEIU by our side, we will win. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has seized 10,000 pounds of fentanyl this year and my INTERDICT Act secured the technology and funding to stop this deadly drug from getting into the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has declared the climate change-fueled displacement disaster to be the “defining crisis of our time.” We’re calling on the Biden admin to begin bridging the gap for climate-displaced persons while Congress works on long-term solutions. https://t.co/v1JADmXw0E — PolitiTweet.org

Abortion is health care and health care is a human right. But Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell’s theft of two Supreme Court seats has put this all at risk. It’s time to abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court to restore justice. — PolitiTweet.org
