Politicians shouldn’t be able to use the debt ceiling as a weapon—that’s playing with fire. We need a permanent solution to de-weaponize the debt ceiling. — PolitiTweet.org

Families in Oregon and around the country are being crushed under a crisis of rising rents and home prices. The Build Back Better plan represents a huge opportunity to invest in families’ ability to afford a home—we need to take it. https://t.co/xzvIGPUuOS — PolitiTweet.org

Congregate care without oversight becomes congregate abuse. I’m grateful to the survivors, including Uvea Spezza-Lopin and @ParisHilton, who shared their stories and discussed how we can make a meaningful change in Oregon and around the nation.https://t.co/JxxZulanH6 — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t afford not to invest in climate action. A new report shows that our health is on the line—this is code red. https://t.co/o2M2Q4OK4y — PolitiTweet.org

I’m working to pass the #EqualityAct to put an end to discriminatory laws targeting gay and trans youth across our country, and give every child the tools they need to thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Every kid should have the opportunity to make friends, play sports, pursue their hobbies, and learn without being bullied—especially by grown-ups. — PolitiTweet.org

Medicare open enrollment is officially open through December 7, 2021. Now is the time see if you qualify, compare plans, and enroll in affordable health care. I'm turning 65 this month, which means I'm eligible too! Let's do this together. Get started: https://t.co/8GkvsI2ITW https://t.co/l2bqbfTSia — PolitiTweet.org

It’s the Senate’s turn—let’s make 2021 the year we get this done! https://t.co/kawYUmtfgg — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to my colleagues in the House for passing the PUMP Act! I got the first edition of the PUMP Act, which enabled moms who are wage earners the privacy and space to pump at work, passed as part of the ACA, and have been working on an expansion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Uvea Spezza-Lopin from Junction City is a compelling, powerful advocate at just 12-years-old—speaking out against abuse at congregate-care facilities. I’m grateful to her for sharing her story, and I can only imagine the great things she will accomplish. https://t.co/SQ4Dv0c4uK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The escalation of violence in Northern Ethiopia, including airstrikes on Mekelle, is very concerning. I’m sad to hear of the needless civilian deaths. I call on all sides to come together for honest and open dialogue to resolve this crisis and end the humanitarian catastrophe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Justice Sotomayor is right: This Supreme Court's willingness to sacrifice Texans' right to a safe, legal abortion will have catastrophic impacts. Shame. I will continue to fight in the Senate to #PassWHPA and codify Roe v. Wade in federal law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Rohingya Muslims have endured atrocities—massacres, detentions, destruction of whole villages, and sexual violence. The Biden administration must call this what it is: Genocide. Refusal to acknowledge this undermines the credibility of our global human rights advocacy. https://t.co/j1dGcL8z0V — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I was gratified to get investments in a key funding bill to tackle two of the most pressing crises in Oregon and around the country: Housing affordability and climate chaos. We must move quickly to make these investments a reality. https://t.co/73bt2I6Kuz — PolitiTweet.org

All nations must stop green lighting new fossil fuel projects, and the U.S. must lead the way. The Biden team has to stop approving these projects. https://t.co/5sTxR3kCbC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We were elected to serve the PEOPLE, not the powerful. If you’re a politician who cares more about protecting the grip on power of the powerful and privileged than ensuring every American has equal freedom to vote, you’re in the wrong line of work. #FreedomToVoteAct — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to hear @POTUS call to bring back the talking filibuster. If Republicans want to block enormously popular policies like protections for our freedom to vote, they should have to hold the floor and do it in public. No more cowardly silent vetos. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Senate can't even DEBATE a hugely popular bill to protect our freedom to vote. With many in the GOP still spreading the Big Lie and folks rightly concerned about the future of democracy, this latest obstruction underscores the dire need to restore the Senate to working order. — PolitiTweet.org

During the pandemic, billionaires have gotten richer and richer as families across the country struggled to make ends meet. We need a #WealthTax to ensure that the ultra-rich pay their fair share in taxes every year. https://t.co/aoeMtzuU8X — PolitiTweet.org

We need to find another path. Our fundamental right to cast a meaningful vote and have a say in the big decisions that impact our lives is on the line. I’ve been pushing to restore our broken Senate for years, and there has never been a more critical moment to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today, all 50 Democratic Senators voted together to start debate on a bill that would end partisan gerrymandering, stop billionaires from buying elections, and protect every American's right to vote. All 50. But we’re NOT starting debate because Republicans blocked it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We’re in a battle for the soul of our democratic republic. Senate Republicans refuse to even debate legislation to protect our right to vote. The freedom to vote shouldn’t depend on your zip code, income, or party affiliation. — PolitiTweet.org
