The Emergency Connectivity Fund is continuing to address an urgent need across the country: closing the homework gap. This historic program is now providing nine million students with the devices and internet connections they need to succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

"McConnell last week intoned against Rollins for being 'soft on crime,' apparently because she has instructed her prosecutors to focus on the county’s most dangerous and serious offenses. Too bad for McConnell that her approach may be showing extraordinarily positive results." — PolitiTweet.org

The opioid crisis got worse than ever during the pandemic. Simply returning expired or unwanted prescription pills could help change a life. Find a collection site and participate in Take Back Day here: https://t.co/rnQftFMDKg — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden must arrive at COP26 in Glasgow with a Build Back Better deal that passes our climate test of achieving the scientifically-necessary emissions reduction goal while creating good union jobs and advancing environmental, racial, and economic justice. https://t.co/5mw2ci5E8d — PolitiTweet.org

With this resolution, we commemorate the diplomatic triumph of the Paris Peace Agreements, 30 years after its signing, and acknowledge the work that remains to realize a democratic and sovereign Cambodia. https://t.co/56xDTUE5wC — PolitiTweet.org

I'm inspired by the @MassNurses and their unflinching resolve and commitment to each other. Tenet Healthcare must come to the table, meet their demands on staffing and patient safety, and let these nurses get back to caring for their community. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As workers across the country rise up to demand the fair pay and protections they deserve, I want to remind everyone that the incredible nurses of St. Vincent's Hospital in Worcester have been striking for more than 7 months—the longest nurses strike in Massachusetts history. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, the FTC must use every tool at its disposal to protect online privacy, but this report underscores the need to protect consumers from all sorts of harmful internet provider practices. That means restoring the FCC’s rightful authority over broadband. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It’s not just Big Tech gobbling up troves of sensitive information about us. The broadband behemoths are tracking our every move online too. It’s unacceptable that if you’re over the age of 12 in this country, you have ZERO privacy rights online. Congress must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Abolish the filibuster. https://t.co/Ww6kcIHitX — PolitiTweet.org

Dilawar Syed is more than qualified to be deputy administrator of the SBA. But Republicans continue to play politics with the recovery of millions of small businesses across the country. The Senate must confirm Dilawar. https://t.co/UgceCuxksE — PolitiTweet.org

While Equal Pay Day is recognized in March of each year, it is not until today that Latinas will have, on average, finally made as much as white men made last year. We must confront this injustice and finally close the racial and gender wage gaps in the United States. https://t.co/8HGS31UjWA — PolitiTweet.org

We must abolish the filibuster so that Democrats who were elected into the majority can begin to operate like the majority. Please join me live now on the Senate floor. https://t.co/6Sxc3DtL7U — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Climate must remain front and center in this reconciliation package. Congress needs to seal this deal ahead of President Biden’s trip to the UN global climate conference. The future of our planet depends on it. https://t.co/C699XvKZj2 — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook doesn’t need to change its name, it needs to change its behavior and its business model. The kids and teens Facebook profits off of don’t just get to rebrand and move on, and the last thing Facebook should be doing is expanding its control of the virtual world. — PolitiTweet.org

We must pass this climate test if we are to protect our children and future generations. That is our responsibility in this critical moment. — PolitiTweet.org

3. Will it finally take the long overdue steps to provide environmental, racial, and economic justice to the communities who need it most? — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

2. Will it create good union jobs through programs like a Civilian Climate Corps? — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

1. Will it enable the country to meet the scientifically necessary emissions reduction goal of cutting climate pollution at least in half by 2030? — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

With a strong budget reconciliation package, we can take the scientifically-necessary action to combat the climate crisis. But in order for us to have a chance at a livable future, here’s the climate test that this package must pass: — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is our moment for climate action. We are not going to let this moment pass at the risk of a livable future for our children and grandchildren. We must pass this climate test. https://t.co/V6oXUuQg3t — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It’s time for us to stop talking about what is politically feasible and start talking about what is scientifically necessary to confront the climate crisis. We must pass President Biden's full agenda with jobs, justice, and climate action at its heart. https://t.co/V6oXUuQg3t — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell and Tom Cotton are distorting Suffolk County @DARollins’ record. A strong Black woman committed to racial justice, with a better record on crime than their old-school prosecutors, just plain scares them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Here's the latest on the impact the Child Tax Credit has had in Massachusetts. More than $1 billion have been distributed to families since July. The average payment is $391 every month. That is a major investment in families and children and one we must make permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

When politicians' campaigns are powered by the people, they work for the people. But Citizens United allowed corporations and billionaires to outbid ordinary Americans and buy influence. Congress must put an end to that corruption by passing the Freedom to Vote Act. — PolitiTweet.org

The action, reaction cycle of the Cold War threatens to repeat and plague the U.S.-China relationship this century. President Biden and Xi Jinping can escape a new arms race by engaging directly on the existential dangers we jointly face. — PolitiTweet.org
