The United States must be a global leader in clean energy. Today @repblumenauer, myself, and 11 of our colleagues are asking President Biden to stop all new financing of overseas fossil fuel projects in the next 90 days. https://t.co/HdI8N9vH7S — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Essential workers are disproportionately people of color and they rely on public transit. That's why making it fare-free is a racial and economic justice issue. Congress needs to pass @RepPressley's and my Freedom to Move Act to fully fund public transit. https://t.co/OCv4DKRLyR — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It's encouraging to see the global fight against COVID-19 ramp up by mobilizing 80M surplus vaccines, but we must do more. U.S. leadership is key to defeating this virus. We have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable, prevent new variants, and revive the global economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook has a clear record of failing to protect children on its platforms and won't make commitments to ensure that its proposed Instagram Kids app does not harm young users’ mental health and threaten their privacy. The company needs to abandon Instagram for Kids. https://t.co/hddTGSn5mt — PolitiTweet.org

LGBTQI+ rights are human rights. On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we stand together in defense of the rights of LGBTQI+ people everywhere and recommit to the fight to ensure safety and dignity for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is Tax Day... for working people. Meanwhile, the ultra-wealthy are gaming the system to dodge taxes and pay as little as possible. It’s time to make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The expanded child tax credit is going to lift millions of children out of poverty. That’s why we are going to fight to make it permanent. But please make sure you get the money you are entitled to now by filing your taxes today: https://t.co/MTQVmQJhti https://t.co/P3zp6IY17G — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Climate change is making people and the planet sicker, and we need a national treatment plan. @RepCartwright and I are introducing legislation that recognizes that the public health impacts of climate change demand immediate action. https://t.co/tajFynAIZP — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

These monthly subsidies are going to help a lot of people access the tools they need. And I’m specifically working to tackle the homework gap. The FCC will also deploy more than $7 billion to schools and libraries through my E-Rate program to ensure every student is connected. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This is exactly what the far-right wanted when they stole Ruth Bader Ginsburg's and Merrick Garland’s seats. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Along with 27 of my Senate colleagues, I am calling for an immediate ceasefire agreement in Israel and the Palestinian territories to prevent further loss of civilian life and further escalation of violence. https://t.co/CIZC4RdIdV — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The principles of inclusion, equity, and non-discrimination must be at the heart of our digital policy, investments and decision-making. Join me, @devalpatrick, and @massgovernor Tuesday for a live discussion on the future of tech in America. https://t.co/59pn8fxu73 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The biggest risk we face right now is that we do too little in responding to the intersecting crises of COVID-19, climate change, racial injustice, and economic inequality. President Biden's infrastructure plan must meet this moment and put climate justice front and center. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

With as many as 75 billion IoT devices projected to be in our pockets and homes by 2025, cybersecurity continues to pose a direct threat to personal privacy and global security. I look forward to working to implement and build on this initiative. https://t.co/C60vxSpJQw — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

By creating a cybersecurity labeling program that mirrors the Cyber Shield Act I introduced with @RepTedLieu, the President’s EO will give consumers a seal of approval for more secure products and help make sure the IoT no longer stands for the “Internet of Threats.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We’ve come so far in a year. Our ongoing effort to get everyone vaccinated is a testament to our capability to overcome immense challenges. We need to apply that same focus toward addressing the racial, economic, and climate injustices that existed before the mask mandates. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The new CDC mask guidance is so encouraging about our progress. But our charge is not to simply return to a pre-COVID normal, a normal that wasn’t working for too many Americans, it’s to finally address the injustices that COVID exposed. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

If we want to maintain our global scientific leadership, Congress must appropriate funds for extensions and support for researchers. My RISE Act provides critical relief to the hundreds of thousands of workers in the research field. https://t.co/38o8gWZ6r5 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Strong, equitable, and just infrastructure is the foundation of a strong, equitable, and just society. Massachusetts needs reliable, interconnected transit, expanded broadband, clean water, and clean energy. That is our path forward. https://t.co/n6MmhWoOln — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Wishing a peaceful and joyous Eid al-Fitr to Muslims celebrating in Massachusetts and around the world. May this holy day bring safety, happiness, and good health. #EidMubarak — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

My heart breaks for the people of Nepal, now facing a terrifying spike in COVID-19 deaths. As the US recovers from this pandemic, we must share surplus vaccines, step up our aid efforts, and scale up vaccine manufacturing to meet the need in Nepal, India, and around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Republicans will use the filibuster not only to block passage of the For the People Act, but to block debate on it. We must strengthen and revitalize democracy in our country. The best way to do that is to abolish this Jim Crow-era relic of anti-democratic oppression. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Thrilled that Judge Angel Kelley has been nominated by President Biden to serve on the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts. @SenWarren and I highly recommended Judge Kelley because of her commitment to racial justice. Now, we'll work to get her confirmed as quickly as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @verge: Join us today at 12:30PM ET for a virtual event about fixing the internet — featuring a keynote and Q&A from @SenMarkey. Sign up… — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Israel has the right to defend itself from indiscriminate rocket attacks and no one should fear being forcefully evicted from their homes. We need peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Plans to force Palestinians from their homes and the raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque have contributed to a spiral of violence that must be de-escalated before more innocent people are hurt and killed. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Palestinians and Israelis deserve peace and safety. The violence must stop and all sides must protect innocent civilians. The Biden Administration should continue being fully engaged to help de-escalate this moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The NRA is as corrupt as its positions on gun safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Over the past year, parents have seen their children and teens spend more and more time online and they’re realizing that the internet simply is not safe for kids and adolescents. I thank @SenBillCassidy for partnering with me on this urgent issue. — PolitiTweet.org
