As we celebrate Black History Month we recognize not only the history but the incredible leadership and legacy of Black Americans. We recommit ourselves to rooting out white supremacy, uplifting Black voices, and securing true justice for all. We will not stop fighting. — PolitiTweet.org

Today we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act, which makes it possible for workers to take the time they need without choosing between their family and their job. It’s past time that we guarantee paid family leave for all working people. — PolitiTweet.org

On the second anniversary of the military coup in Burma, we cannot waiver in our commitment to human rights and democracy. The passage of the Burma Act was an important step but we have far work more to do. https://t.co/VKm5Ddj6Yo — PolitiTweet.org

We need active transportation infrastructure that ensures cleaner, healthier, safer, and more equitable mobility for all. That's why we're calling on @SecretaryPete to fully fund @USDOT’s Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program with at least $200 million a year. https://t.co/RtW5QWnbhv — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS is right. We need to eliminate airline junk fees, like the ones forcing families to pay extra just to sit with their children. I'll be reintroducing my Fly Together Act to do just that. I look forward to advancing it as part of FAA Reauthorization. https://t.co/PaDQbpmFXG — PolitiTweet.org

It’s no secret that airlines are pinching passengers’ pocketbooks with ridiculous fees. And at the same time, they’re leaving them stranded at the gate. It’s unacceptable. That's why I'm reintroducing my FAIR Fees Act to hold airlines accountable. https://t.co/1vAX5GLgWJ — PolitiTweet.org

158 years ago, Congress passed the 13th Amendment and abolished slavery but left a sinister loophole allowing it as “punishment for a crime” and fueling mass incarceration. That's 158 more years of slavery. We need to pass the Abolition Amendment and end this. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. @Ilhan is a dedicated member of Congress, a refugee, a fierce fighter for human rights, and she has earned her spot on the Foreign Affairs Committee. Stop the bigotry and seat Rep. Omar. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, @RepCori and I led our colleagues in providing recommendations to @WHCEQ for developing a comprehensive, accessible, and transparent EJ scorecard that will measure and monitor federal agencies' progress in advancing environmental justice. https://t.co/ET70WpUZx0 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @SecDebHaaland for taking this important step to ban mining for 20 years in Minnesota's Boundary Waters and keep pollution out of this natural wonder. Let’s keep moving forward toward a sustainable, healthy future. https://t.co/U1Rcf4OkYS — PolitiTweet.org

Last May, I led my colleagues in urging the @FTC to investigate the marketing of the highly lethal JR-15 to children. Shortly after, WEE1 Tactical went dark. But now, a few weeks after a 6-year-old shot his teacher, they're back on the market. It's sickening and it has to stop. https://t.co/V5QC9OK0gw — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 600K Massachusetts residents are waiting for immediate student loan debt relief, and two-thirds already have their applications fully approved. All that's standing in the way are meritless lawsuits from greedy corporations and heartless Republicans. https://t.co/aYubZeBKKi — PolitiTweet.org

The Tongass National Forest is one of our greatest national treasures. I support the @ForestService in restoring roadless protections on the Tongass and working with Indigenous leaders and local communities to #ProtectTheTongass. — PolitiTweet.org

Good. If you are a Haitian citizen who entered the United States before November 6, 2022, you may be eligible for TPS. Existing Haiti TPS holders who wish to extend their status must re-register before March 27, 2023. Apply now through DHS. — PolitiTweet.org

The UAE's appointment of an oil executive as President of this year's COP28 summit is shameful—we can’t put polluters in charge of climate diplomacy. We need a climate process free of Big Oil’s big influence. — PolitiTweet.org

The clean energy revolution sparked the creation of 120,000 new jobs across the U.S. in 2021. And this is just the beginning. As American workers build our green energy future, let's make sure that these jobs are good, union jobs. https://t.co/BFvwyLLcuu — PolitiTweet.org

To the communities coming together to mourn, to heal, to fight for justice—I am with you. For Tyre Nichols, George Floyd, Keenan Anderson, and Breonna Taylor. For Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, and everyone who should be alive today. We will build a better future. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We can’t bring back Tyre Nichols and the countless lives lost to horrific police violence—but we can build a more just future. We can abolish qualified immunity, demilitarize the police, and relegate this system of terror to the history books. — PolitiTweet.org

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, amid rising anti-Semitism, we commemorate the six million Jews and millions of other victims of Nazi terror. I remain dedicated to fighting for human rights and fulfilling our moral responsibility to stop genocide across the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

After a year of shameless price-gouging, Chevron just announced a record $35.5 billion in profits and a planned $75 billion stock buyback. Big Oil will stop at nothing to line the pockets of their wealthy shareholders and executives—we have to stop them. https://t.co/gvcvpgfwbT — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this month, police shot and killed Tortuguita, an environmental defender who was protesting the destruction of a forest to build a police training center in Atlanta. There must be an independent investigation into their death. https://t.co/eYWeuwHyyu — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I hope the officers who killed Tyre Nichols will be brought to justice. But we need to abolish qualified immunity and ensure all victims and their families can seek accountability in every case of police brutality—including those involving white officers. — PolitiTweet.org

Hoping this is a SpaceX recruitment effort. — PolitiTweet.org
