Early this morning, Senate Democrats passed a historic investment in our communities, planet, and future. I am so proud to have cast my vote for an economy that works for the people—not just the privileged and powerful. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Senate Republicans voted against even deliberating on how to protect voting rights. Again. If Republicans can’t join us in defending the fundamental right of every American to vote, we must do it without them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

These headlines say it all. As GOP attacks on our freedom to vote continue in state legislatures across the country, the Senate must come together to pass legislation to protect access to the ballot box. I’m fighting to make sure this happens—with or without the filibuster. https://t.co/xlLYGaKmMe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We must protect our freedom to vote and stop billionaires from buying elections. We will have another vote on moving forward with voting rights within the next 24 hrs. Republicans may filibuster, but that will only deepen our resolve to find another path to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I voted today with the understanding that today’s vote will be immediately followed by a robust reconciliation bill that finishes the job. Anything less would be selling out the well-being and future of the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’m also focused on giving American families the tools they need to thrive in the reconciliation process: affordable child care, paid family leave, lower prescription drug costs, Medicare that includes dental and vision, and tax cuts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Without a reconciliation bill, this package fails to address climate chaos, which has already arrived on the doorstep of every Oregonian. That is not acceptable. Failing to deliver on our promise to #ActOnClimate threatens our health, planet, and future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This vote was a step toward delivering on that promise. It means better access to broadband and clean drinking water and investments in our forests to reduce the risk of wildfire. But we have work to do in reconciliation to fully make good on our promise to the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

People across Oregon and throughout the country elected President Biden to put us on a path where investing in the American people and their communities and their futures—not tax cuts for the powerful and privileged—is top priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I can’t stop thinking about the IPCC report on climate chaos—it’s required reading for everyone. It makes me think of my family and all the young Oregonians who will inherit a world with deadlier heat waves and drought and wildfire. I will keep pressing for bold climate action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Every American has the opportunity to make their voice heard in our elections and in the big decisions that impact their lives. That is why protecting our freedom to vote is paramount to protecting our democracy. Our fight continues in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’m speaking on the Senate floor right now on the need for bold climate action to protect our communities, our planet, and our future. https://t.co/ukRskGmsaN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is just a first step—we have a lot more to do to create jobs and invest in climate action, affordable housing, lower drug costs, and tax cuts for working families instead of billionaires. I’m fighting to make sure we pass a robust reconciliation package to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The infrastructure bill has some big wins for Oregon! Here’s what’s headed our way if it becomes law: 🛣️ $3.4B for roads and bridges 🖥️ $100M to expand broadband access in Oregon 🚏 $749M to support public transportation options 🚗 $52M to expand EV charging infrastructure — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We shouldn’t need a crystal ball to see the impacts of climate chaos—we’re already feeling them. Deadly heat waves, drought, and wildfires across the West. Devastating storms. Our planet is warming even faster than we thought, making the need to #ActOnClimate even more urgent. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

President Biden: please quit greenlighting fossil fuel projects! In just 200 days, you've defended or endorsed: - The Willow project - Line 3 tar-sands pipeline - A $25B loan guarantee to export natural gas from Alaska - The Nordstream-2 natural gas pipeline This must stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We’re making progress on nailing down a new version of a bill to protect our freedom to vote and block billionaires from buying elections. I will keep working until the job is finished—our democracy hangs in the balance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Every American should have the same freedom to make their voice heard in our elections and in the big decisions that impact their lives. That’s what I’m fighting for in the Senate. https://t.co/JMEDVLtK4E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We must also have the second bill which addresses: climate; housing and forest infrastructure; education; child care; and the biggest middle-class tax cut ever! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The infrastructure bill addresses transportation, water, and broadband, and we'll work for as long as it takes to get it passed. All of these things are much needed, but we must go further to fully deliver for the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Galen—medal or not, you ran an incredible race in heat and humidity! Did Oregon proud!! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

When you establish barriers between some Americans and the ballot box, you are cheating people out of their right to vote. I’m fighting to protect our freedom to vote so that cannot happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Our hometown running hero Galen Rupp runs in the Olympic marathon at 3pm Pacific Time today. Galen—we know you will run your heart out. Back home we are cheering you on!! https://t.co/SPr72avLO2 — PolitiTweet.org
