America has seen this playbook before — kids getting hooked on unsafe products by unscrupulous companies. That’s what Big Tobacco did by creating an on-ramp to addiction, and that’s what the vaping industry is doing now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Today in Eugene at @LaneCountyHHS, I heard alarming numbers and accounts from Lane County students about how prevalent vaping has become among teenagers in their communities. https://t.co/p8R7zc3PmR — PolitiTweet.org

My friend @SenSanders is a fighter. Wishing him all the best and a speedy recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to accept the @NAMIOregon New Freedom award for mental health advocacy last night in Portland from my friend/former Senate colleague Gordon Smith. Gordon & Sharon Smith have done so much for mental health treatment, & I’m proud to stand w/them & NAMI in this crucial work. https://t.co/yueNHPtrLk — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

NEW: In light of the findings of my months-long investigation into the NRA and its ties to Russian nationals and mounting allegations of self-dealing, @SenSchumer and I are calling on the IRS to investigate whether the NRA should lose its tax-exempt status as a nonprofit. https://t.co/PzwkczX1m8 — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Very impressed after #ListeningToTheFuture today in Beaverton w/the smart questions asked by @WestviewCats about the climate crisis, gun violence, college costs, immigration, DACA, healthcare & more. The future of Oregon & our country is bright in these thoughtful students’ hands https://t.co/5CMcfYFm3f — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The whistleblower followed the letter of the law to shed light on corruption, and instead of protection and confidentiality is being met with threats and intimidation by their own president. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

My Whistleblower Caucus co-chair @ChuckGrassley is right: the person who submitted the complaint about @realDonaldTrump is a legitimate whistleblower under the law and has a right to full protection and confidentiality. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The Trump Administration keeps working to make Big Cable bigger & richer & consumers poorer. The only consolation in today’s ruling is the FCC can’t block states like Oregon from passing our own net neutrality rules to preserve a free & open internet. https://t.co/LVC3VGBSq8 — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Four years ago, nine people lost their lives in a gun massacre at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg. Since then, countless communities across America have also suffered from gun violence, yet McConnell refuses to even allow a vote on gun safety legislation. Enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Honored to stand in Portland today with the 41st Brigade of the @OregonGuard for its mobilization & deployment to the Middle East. Thanks to all these brave Oregonians for their service & our hopes for a safe return to your loved ones. https://t.co/WABaDK3unQ — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The same day that I released a report detailing the close relationship between the NRA and Russia, Trump met with its top exec to discuss a quid pro quo: blocking gun legislation in exchange for protection from impeachment. The corruption in this administration knows no bounds. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Thanks to @MSAOregon for standing w/me yesterday in Portland to discuss my proposal ending the tale of two tax codes creating income inequality by letting high-flyers get treated far better than wage earners like nurses, teachers & more: https://t.co/3bkBDaWzSU https://t.co/RXRIZcLXHs — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

TGIF in Portland always includes knowing there is a new edition of @StreetRoots. Thanks to Char and all the vendors out selling the paper, a constantly thought-provoking source of community news. https://t.co/79S1dQnO2E — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Why did you hide evidence showing your VP Wayne LaPierre personally approved Moscow trip expenses? https://t.co/mZFcYHxKr8 — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Enjoyed this morning’s robust conversation in Portland about the future of health care at #PBJHealthCare w/ @PDXBizJournal. Reducing prescription drug prices is essential to that future: https://t.co/PiKzVpalLT https://t.co/boHKEUJ4Gy — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

NRA officers’ apparent use of the NRA for personal gain fits a larger pattern of reported self-dealing and raises serious questions about whether the NRA broke U.S. tax laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

After returning from Moscow, the NRA gave the Russians free rein over the guest list for its 2016 Annual Meeting. It also provided access to other political organizations in 2015 and 2016 like the National Prayer Breakfast and the secretive right-wing Council for National Policy. https://t.co/MG9Upb1ICt — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

He was even offered a meeting with Vladimir Putin. https://t.co/TVCZa7BDui — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The incoming NRA president only agreed to participate in the trip after he was offered the opportunity to explore lucrative business deals with Russian weapons manufacturers, on the condition that he bring the NRA to Russia. https://t.co/y9ixJAbpF3 — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The now-convicted Russian agent Maria Butina made clear to the NRA she wanted to bring the “head of the most powerful political organization in America” to Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

While in Moscow, the NRA delegation met with a host of senior level Kremlin officials, including some of Putin’s closest advisors (at least two of whom had been sanctioned by the U.S. government), and multiple Russian oligarchs close to Putin. https://t.co/qoKgmNv7zD — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

NRA leaders were told the trip was needed to prove Torshin’s American connections to the Kremlin, and that building relationships with Russians was “NRA business.” https://t.co/OAn4rOvZOz — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The NRA lied about the December 2015 Moscow trip not being an official trip. https://t.co/XdlO4Lm5Rw — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

NEWS: For more than a year my @SenateFinance staff has been investigating the NRA’s relationship with foreign agent Maria Butina and Russian government official Alexander Torshin and their role in the Kremlin’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. Here’s what they found. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Whistleblowers who speak out in the face of corruption are patriots and essential to our democracy, and I will do everything I can to protect them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Proud to stand with @POMED at #JusticeForJamal on the one-year anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi's murder. We need full transparency from the Trump administration, and we must hold the Saudi government accountable for his murder. — PolitiTweet.org

From the moment I met Eva at a #2018townhall, I have always known her as an eloquent and forceful advocate, no matter the topic: https://t.co/L8GqUcIr50 — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to Hood River Valley HS’ Eva Jones for again setting the standard at the #UNYouthClimateSummit as a powerful voice for her generation: https://t.co/THHnul4i5O — PolitiTweet.org
