America's health care programs aren't colorblind. Far from it. Lawmakers in America should not be having discussions about health care without addressing the systemic failure to properly care for and serve communities of color. https://t.co/m0C5p4eGAT — PolitiTweet.org

The Fourth Amendment protects your personal information, which is essential for your First Amendment right to protest. As you protest: be safe, be smart, and protect your privacy. https://t.co/qx0fd0xdtA — PolitiTweet.org

The fascist speech Donald Trump just delivered verged on a declaration of war against American citizens. I fear for our country tonight and will not stop defending America against Trump’s assault. — PolitiTweet.org

Nancy’s mother, Patricia Bass, who always called herself just a Midwest gal, has passed at 92 of natural causes. She loved her grandchildren and the Oregon coast, and we loved her back endlessly. Her energy and optimism will never be forgotten. https://t.co/YKdrmieW1K — PolitiTweet.org

Journalists play a vital role in shedding light on abuses of power. For 4 years Donald Trump has spewed anti-journalist rhetoric, even encouraged violence. Now we're seeing the impact of his words. I stand with journalists who continue to speak truth to power no matter the cost. — PolitiTweet.org

Now it's critical to take every step possible toward quickly ensuring all Oregonians thrown out of work through no fault of their own get the unemployment benefits they need to weather this storm. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Today's announcement of new leadership at the Oregon Employment Department provides a much-needed opportunity to get countless unemployed Oregonians the urgent help they are counting on during this economic and public health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

A timely and powerful statement from @BendCityPolice Chief Jim Porter about how the unconscionable response by some leaders to the brutal killing of George Floyd to march the military into cities is cowardly and irresponsible. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

I called today for the resignation of the Oregon Employment Department Director as an essential step to begin the long-overdue fixes needed to get urgently needed benefits to unemployed Oregonians. Here’s my full statement: https://t.co/wwsqZcqVuB — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The killing of black Americans during simple interactions with law enforcement has robbed the entire community of liberty and justice for generations. America can and must right these wrongs with a lasting system rooted in justice and equality for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The outrage and anger over the shameful legacy and present-day reality of black Americans like George Floyd being killed is justified and demands action. Peaceful protest has made real change before in America and can do so again. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Donald Trump is a weak president who exploits crises for personal and political gain rather than leading the nation through them. He has weakened our great nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

This crisis has exposed shortfalls across our health care systems and mental health is no exception. I'm calling for an investigation into questionable practices by insurance companies used to skirt federal mental health laws and withhold care from people in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Mitch McConnell's endgame has always been stacking our nation's courts with right-wing judges. This report is further proof that Trump and McConnell don't care about helping American families, they care about pushing their extremist agenda for decades to come. #CapturedCourts — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Instead of leading our nation through this ongoing crisis, Donald Trump's strategy is pretending this crisis doesn't exist and hoping the American people don't notice. The Trump administration's disdain for American families is shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

If you woke up today angry, confused or frustrated about the direction our country is heading, I have one word for you: vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Great @USPS workers like Terri here in southeast Portland are essential workers who deserve full support from Congress. I will fight for her and everybody in @NALC_National to protect this vital public service. https://t.co/Cou8CDHi4B — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Juvenile detention facilities are facing dangerously high rates of #COVID19. @SenKamalaHarris and I are leading our Senate colleagues in demanding answers from Trump officials about the steps they’re taking to keep incarcerated youth safe during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Great (socially distant) visit yesterday to see firsthand how D6 has re-tooled its shop to manufacture PPE for frontline workers using recycled materials. This Oregon company created jobs, saved lives, and is a true example of the #OregonWay. https://t.co/WkkAyVQThR — PolitiTweet.org

Rural communities have been hit with a wrecking ball by this crisis. I've partnered with groups that have decades of experience leading the fight to ensure rural communities have the job opportunities and resources they need to build a robust economy. https://t.co/7x5eCsAe4U — PolitiTweet.org

Protecting expression that resists the tyranny of those in power is the very foundation of the First Amendment. Section 230 does not prevent Internet companies from moderating offensive or false content. And it does not change the First Amendment of the Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Efforts to erode Section 230 will only make online content more likely to be false and dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

As the co-author of Section 230, let me make this clear: there is nothing in the law about political neutrality. It does not say companies like Twitter are forced to carry misinformation about voting, especially from the president. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Donald Trump’s misinformation campaigns have left death and destruction in their wake. He’s clearly targeting Section 230 because it protects private businesses' right to not have to play host to his lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Trump’s order is plainly illegal. After driving our country into an economic and health care disaster, Trump is desperately trying to steal for himself the power of the courts and Congress to rewrite decades of settled law around Section 230. All for the ability to spread lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Today Trump proved me right. I expect those companies, and every American who participates in online speech, to resist this illegal act by all possible means. Giving in to bullying by this president may be the single most unpatriotic act an American could undertake. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

I have warned for years that the Trump administration was threatening Section 230 in order to chill speech and bully companies like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter into giving Donald Trump favorable treatment. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Donald Trump and Bill Barr are obligated to carry out the laws that Congress has passed and the courts have affirmed. Any order to the contrary is illegitimate and must be resisted by any federal official who is true to their oath. — PolitiTweet.org
