The ceiling has routinely been raised dozens of times, on a bipartisan basis, for a century. This is a fake crisis, but real people are going to pay the price. Estimates say 6 million jobs lost. But this is all just a game to Republicans who plainly refuse to do their own jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

What's the debt ceiling all about? Basically, McConnell and Senate Republicans are taking the global economy hostage in a manufactured crisis and putting millions of jobs in jeopardy. Democrats are ready to raise the ceiling by ourselves, but Republicans are blocking that too. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook said it would not promote harmful advertising to teens. It broke that commitment. I'm demanding answers. https://t.co/6tjqTkPaet — PolitiTweet.org

Abortion access is not a political issue, it is a people issue. We are talking about your health, your well-being, your body. Republicans in Congress, on the Supreme Court, and in state legislatures have NO RIGHT to get between you and your health care. #DefendAbortionRally https://t.co/AcCPWg8fUv — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Abolish the filibuster and pass federal legislation to protect abortion rights once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, in rallies across the country, we are sending an undeniable message to the Supreme Court that abortion care is health care, and health care is a human right. https://t.co/z2ym3Ok1W4 — PolitiTweet.org

The reason we're not watching @POTUS's agenda evaporate right now is simple: progressives have his back. We have numbers and we're overcoming obstacles that some thought we could not overcome. Together we will take bold climate action and deliver for working families. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister Hun Sen’s Government must release teenager Kak Sovann Chhay and live up to its human rights obligations under Cambodia’s own Constitution and under international law. https://t.co/wTQAyCurFr — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Pleased to meet with exiled Cambodian opposition leaders Sam Rainsy and Mu Sochua, with my constituent, Rithy Uong. We must pass the bipartisan Cambodia Democracy and Human Rights Act – thirty years after the signing of the landmark 1991 Paris Peace Agreements. https://t.co/XuzKHQ6b6D — PolitiTweet.org

It is unconscionable to expel humanitarian workers fighting to prevent famine. The Abiy government must allow aid work to continue. Starvation is war crime. Innocent Ethiopian civilians are desperate and cannot be pawns in these irresponsible war games. https://t.co/C1CjY4Dp6j — PolitiTweet.org

With Instagram, Facebook is just like Big Tobacco, pushing a product that they KNOW is harmful to the health of young people, and pushing it to them early so that they get hooked on it for the long term. All so they can make money. https://t.co/2F2SbvhEOT — PolitiTweet.org

On this National Day of Remembrance, I joined my colleagues in honoring the Native children who never came home and commit to not only reckoning with the truth of this history, but seeking healing for stolen Native children and their communities. — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud @VineyardWindUS for its partnership with the City of Salem to create another dedicated offshore wind port in the great state of Massachusetts. The clean energy revolution is coming and it's going to deliver a cleaner, brighter future for the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

The completion of Line 3’s construction does not mark the end of this fight. We cannot allow a Trump era permit for the dirtiest of fossil fuels to hold as we work to save our planet and build a just future. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In just a few days, tar sands oil will begin flowing through the Line 3 pipeline. We will never stop the climate crisis if we do not stop our addiction to fossil fuels and begin respecting Indigenous sovereignty. The Biden Administration must act now to stop Line 3. https://t.co/GTycFQ7cqO — PolitiTweet.org

The Kids Internet Design and Safety Act will stop online practices such as manipulative marketing, amplification of harmful content, and damaging design features, which threaten young people online, whether they're on Instagram or anywhere else. https://t.co/BsqAuGSH5r — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today I questioned Facebook about the company's (paused but should be abandoned) plans to launch a new version of Instagram for kids and the harm that Instagram is already causing. I was not satisfied with the answers I got and I'm officially reintroducing my KIDS Act. https://t.co/J4P2CZZre7 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Senate avoided one fiscal crisis today, but because of Republican obstruction, we are barreling toward a fiscal catastrophe by not raising the debt limit. Democrats need to eliminate the filibuster and raise the debt ceiling. https://t.co/tsB5vz7Vkd — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Now is the time for jobs, justice, and climate action. Please join me live with Sen. @ChrisCoons, @RepJoeNeguse, @Collin_OMara, and Pedro Soto of @PowerCorpsPHL as we discuss the Civilian Climate Corps and the future we can build together. https://t.co/xAdMzBfR5t — PolitiTweet.org

Hold the line. https://t.co/8DbT0JqVka — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech continues to blatantly prioritize raking in revenue over protecting children and teens, and that must stop. We know that these companies won’t change their ways unless Congress forces them to. That’s why I am re-introducing the KIDS Act. https://t.co/8rgZCevj15 — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are being told we can pass a climate bill after we pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill. That was not our deal. We must hold the line and pass BOTH the bipartisan infrastructure deal and the budget resolution with its bold climate action. https://t.co/IKW5KccvXu — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Republicans continue to play politics with the well-being of our nation’s small businesses by blocking the nomination of Mr. Syed to SBA. America’s small businesses deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenateDems: Senator Mitch McConnell said Democrats should do the “responsible” thing and raise the debt ceiling. Minutes later, he blo… — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Defaulting on our debt could cost us 6 million jobs and eliminate $15 trillion in household wealth. Republicans using this for a political stunt shows how little they really care. People's lives aren’t leverage. Raise the debt ceiling. — PolitiTweet.org

#HoldTheLine. Pass both bills. — PolitiTweet.org

@SenTinaSmith The Judiciary Act expands the Supreme Court by adding four seats to restore balance, integrity, and independence. https://t.co/PTpCBF8CzT — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am thrilled to have @SenTinaSmith’s partnership on expanding the Supreme Court. Republicans stole the majority and undermined the Court's legitimacy. The Judiciary Act will begin to repair the damage done—and we should abolish the filibuster to ensure we can pass it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The system is broken. It should never fall to one person to have to defy an order from the President in order to prevent a nuclear war. My and @RepTedLieu’s bill would add checks and balances so no President can unilaterally condemn millions to a terrible death. — PolitiTweet.org
