Great to be with members of @POIC_RAHS, @ULPDX and OMIC Friday to discuss job readiness and placement programs, and how federal funding from #BuildBackBetter will help continue to make a difference for folks in Oregon. https://t.co/VCddH9PRJn — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should have access to safe, drinkable water. I fought to fully fund the backlog of tribal water projects and fund three critical projects on the Warm Springs reservation through the infrastructure bill to make sure that is the case.https://t.co/g2AGzzAOAy — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday, @POTUS! 🥳 I think we can agree that passing Build Back Better in the Senate would be an excellent birthday present—I’m working hard to make sure that happens. — PolitiTweet.org

There have already been 100+ anti-trans bills introduced in state legislatures around the country in 2021, including attacks on trans youth. I will continue to fight to pass the #EqualityAct to see protections for LGBTQIA+ Americans enshrined in federal law. #TDOR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Transgender Americans—especially BIPOC trans women—face an epidemic of violence, just for being who they are. Speaking out about anti-trans hate must be backed up with action. We must continue to fight for accountability and to make progress toward a more just world. #TDOR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This day of remembrance began in response to the murder of Rita Hester, a Black trans woman who was killed in 1998. Today, we remember 47 Americans who were loving partners, parents, treasured friends, and community leaders. #TDOR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we hold close the lives and legacies of the trans, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people whose lives have been stolen this year. I thank @RepMarieNewman for reading their names into the Congressional record. https://t.co/cdO0s7iKXt — PolitiTweet.org

This trial highlights two big ongoing problems: structural racism ingrained in every system in our country and violent extremists who seek out conflict and know they can get away with it. We’ve got a lot of work to do on both. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The House just voted to lower Americans’ costs and taxes, invest in America’s future strength, and #ActOnClimate—and pay for it by making corporations and the ultra-rich pay their fair share. That’s what I call building back better! Let’s get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Climate chaos is an urgent threat to our health, communities and economy. We need a Fed Chair who recognizes the urgent need for bold climate action. That person is not Jerome Powell. Read @SenWhitehouse’s and my full statement ⬇️ https://t.co/ubeqP8tENx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I've seen #BuildBackBetter called an Act, a Framework, a Plan... the list goes on. But let's just call it what it is: A historic investment in our children, in housing, and in a clean energy future. — PolitiTweet.org

Reflecting on #COP26, I’m struck by the young people I met from Kenya and the Philippines whose communities are suffering from climate chaos. Action can’t wait until they are in office. We have a moral responsibility to act now for the next generation. https://t.co/5FPWmJAA2o — PolitiTweet.org

The leaders of #YouthVGov are right—the climate crisis is a threat to our planet and future that we cannot afford to ignore. We must act boldly on climate and address environmental injustices to protect this planet for our children and those who follow. https://t.co/BZTsb5bdVN — PolitiTweet.org

Fred Hiatt has this right: Coca Cola trumpets Olympic values, but is sponsoring these Games. Any moral code requires Olympic sponsors to speak out forcefully against human rights violations. https://t.co/3QjYeoYDSr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The IOC shouldn’t hold the Games in a country committing genocide. We can’t stay silent or pretend these gross human rights violations against Uyghurs aren’t happening—governments and sponsoring brands need to work together to deny the Chinese government a propaganda coup. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This week, @POTUS signed the bipartisan infrastructure bill into law—that means funding to expand broadband, fix our roads and bridges, and invest in transportation is on the way! This is just the first step. Now, we must pass the Build Back Better plan and invest in our people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Thank you for your many years of passionate and tireless work, @Sifill_LDF! You've had immeasurable impact on so many people in your time at @NAACP_LDF, and I am grateful for your leadership and dedication to protecting civil rights and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

The fifth monthly #ChildTaxCredit payment went out this week. It’s the biggest family tax cut in history, and it’s making a difference for families around Oregon and across the country. Every Senate Democrat voted for it. Every Republican voted against it. That says a lot. — PolitiTweet.org
