Green means GO! Here are my Green Lines in the budget resolution and why we need to get this bill onto President Biden's desk ASAP. https://t.co/G6bHb9pzhF — PolitiTweet.org

Residential School Policies were designed to terminate and forcibly assimilate Native culture and communties. As @Interior investigates this painful history, we urge @IHSgov to coordinate with tribal nations to mitigate further harm for survivors, their families, and communities. — PolitiTweet.org

“But how are you gonna pay for it?” It's a question almost only ever asked in bad faith. But when it comes to the budget resolution, I’m happy to answer. We'll pay for it by taxing the rich. — PolitiTweet.org

The coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective. Go to https://t.co/NhfEn9KL2H, get vaccinated, and protect yourself and your loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

The young leaders of the Green team at @GWSomerville are the model for what the Civilian Climate Corps will be when President Biden signs the budget resolution and we get to work delivering jobs, justice, and climate action all across America. https://t.co/qjQi4wOCjt — PolitiTweet.org

A total joy to visit the Hispanic-American Library of Springfield with some very good friends. Come see the library and meet the team responsible for this lovely cultural and educational community space at Union Station. https://t.co/5Y1C6ixQau — PolitiTweet.org

My heart is with the people of Afghanistan fleeing the Taliban. We must do everything in our power to protect them and provide safe refuge. I support @POTUS's evacuation efforts and pledge to keep pushing to get out safely every American and vulnerable Afghan who wants to leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We celebrated at Union Station in Springfield yesterday the $12 billion in the infrastructure package that mirrors my BRAIN TRAIN Act, which can finally help connect communities across Massachusetts with high-performance passenger rail. https://t.co/9NdiSupvyJ — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to my friend @RNicholasBurns on his nomination to be U.S. Ambassador to China. I can’t think of a better person or more experienced diplomat to take on one of our most important and most challenging relationships. https://t.co/AC852E1VOt — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden is getting us out of Afghanistan. It’s the right decision and it’s a decision long supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans. It’s no surprise the military industrial complex is unhappy. They’re losing their 20-year long blank check. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The injustice of Line 3 is all too familiar: frontline communities forced to assume all the risk of fossil fuel infrastructure and excluded from any supposed benefit. We must fight in solidarity with those defending tribal land rights, and our communal right to a livable future. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Funding to help our communities map out environmental impacts, like poor air quality or extreme heat islands, will also help us address the ongoing climate and health crises in our most vulnerable communities. What gets measured—and funded—gets done. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Civilian Climate Corps will create thousands of high-quality climate action jobs in environmental justice communities. I am fighting for a CCC that pays workers at least $15/hour and provides excellent benefits to those on the frontlines of the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Communities that have been shut out of investments because of racism and inequitable policies are facing the worst impacts of climate change. This infrastructure package is our chance to make green investments in those communities and deliver jobs, justice, and climate action. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Springfield has one of the the highest asthma rates in the country. Chelsea and East Boston suffer disproportionately from air pollution. By investing in air quality monitoring, clean transit, and renewable energy like wind and solar, we can clean the air in Massachusetts. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Infrastructure is the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the health and wellbeing of our communities. It's the foundation of our society. By investing in green infrastructure now, we can deliver environmental justice for historically underserved and polluted communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We are calling for the urgent evacuation of Afghan Special Immigrant Visa applicants and their families, as well as the full and immediate implementation of our bill to expand and streamline the Afghan SIV program. We cannot break our promise to our allies.https://t.co/krQxI4HsQQ — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The EPA acted wisely to get a dangerous toxic chemical out of our food production system. A chemical that harms children’s brains shouldn’t be used on our farms. This is a great step to correct an injustice and I'll keep working to get more preventative action on toxic chemicals. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Good news. The Biden admin is moving to stop financing the climate crisis overseas, as I’ve been calling for. We cannot preach temperance from a barstool—especially leading up to COP26. Our work must continue to stop bankrolling new fossil fuel infrastructure at home and abroad. — PolitiTweet.org

As we continue to combat COVID-19 here at home, we cannot forget that no one is safe until everyone is protected. We must work with our international partners to increase production of vaccines, share resources, and construct infrastructure required to deliver vaccines globally. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This administration continues to demonstrate its commitment to combating this pandemic with science rather than politics. https://t.co/l0wVkYalXq — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Everyone should get their first COVID-19 shots as soon as possible. It is also important that the government proactively responds to the evolving science. I'm very pleased the Biden administration responded to concerns I raised about the possible need for booster shots. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Tesla has repeatedly overstated the capabilities of its Autopilot & Full Self Driving systems. These claims can endanger the safety of everyone on the road. @SenBlumenthal and I are calling on the FTC to investigate Tesla’s potentially deceptive marketing. https://t.co/77BtaIqvtM — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As we continue this fight, I’m glad the Admin. keeps responding to the pandemic’s evolving nature. As I said to @CDCgov last week, we’ve got to keep vaccinating more of our communities & evaluating tools to beat this pandemic, including booster shots. https://t.co/1F0k6CngKv — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

In the richest nation in the history of the world, hunger is a policy choice. I am pleased that the USDA is moving forward with an historic increase in nutrition benefits. We must keep working until no one struggles to feed themselves or their children. https://t.co/2xKsPXM3M6 — PolitiTweet.org

As our government continues its evacuation of Americans and Afghans, we must stand alongside the Muslim community and people of color across the U.S. who are rightly nervous about a rising tide of xenophobia. Now is the time for us to live up to our values in welcoming refugees. — PolitiTweet.org
