I'm grateful to the essential workers and health care heroes who continue to keep us safe and healthy through this pandemic. And I'm holding those who are feeling the weight of an empty seat at the dinner table today in my heart and wishing you peace and healing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and happy Thanksgiving! I’m reflecting on all that we have to be thankful for this year—and on the work still to be done to make progress for folks in Oregon and around the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Ahmaud Arbery should still be alive. This verdict doesn’t bring back this young man, and my heart is with his family, friends, and community as they continue to mourn his loss. Accountability in individual cases is an important step, but not the end of the journey. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Last year, Ahmaud Arbery was chased down, shot, and killed while on an afternoon run—just for being Black. Today, his killers are rightly being held accountable for his murder. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should have access to clean drinking water—not broken pipes and boil water advisories. Ensuring tribes have access to safe, drinkable water is essential to upholding the federal government's responsibilities to tribal nations.https://t.co/g2AGzzAOAy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

When you live in a rural community, getting health care looks different than when you live in a city. @ruralhealth and the Rural Health Action Alliance get it, and I’m honored they’re supporting @RepMcEachin’s and my Rural Health Equity Act. https://t.co/X3A2Tg5HEb — PolitiTweet.org

There are even more historic investments in this bill, from affordable child care to paid leave to job training. And the best part: It’s all paid for by having corporations and the ultra-rich pay their fair share in taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The plan also cuts taxes for families and workers in two important ways: 1️⃣ Extending the #ChildTaxCredit to continue helping parents pay for kids' food, clothes, activities, and more 2️⃣ Extending the Earned Income Tax Credit for 255,300 low-wage workers in Oregon. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It's the largest investment in climate action in U.S. history. Oregon is no stranger to climate chaos—we feel it in the wildfires and drought that devastate parts of our state. This bill puts us on a path to slash emissions and create a Civilian Climate Corps, which means jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Almost 300,000 renters in Oregon spend more than 30% of their income paying rent, which keeps homeownership out of reach for many. Build Back Better will: ✔️ Expand rental assistance for Oregon renters ✔️ Increase our supply of high-quality housing to bring down rents — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This bill will expand health care coverage and lower costs, because health care is a right, not a privilege. In Oregon, that means: 🏥 64,000 uninsured people will gain coverage 💰 58,900 more will save an average of hundreds of dollars annually, including on lower drug costs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

You’ve heard me say that the Build Back Better plan is a historic investment in the American people. Let’s take a look at the impact this bill will have in Oregon. (Thread 🧵) — PolitiTweet.org

Monarch butterflies have been inching closer to extinction this past decade—but the infrastructure bill includes a key investment in this iconic species. @RepJimmyPanetta’s and my Monarch and Pollinator Highway bill passed as part of the bill, which means help is on the way! — PolitiTweet.org
