Wildland firefighters play a crucial role in protecting our communities from wildfires, and I’m committed to working with the Biden administration to make sure they’re paid a living wage and given the support they need. https://t.co/CuNwKIwmX4 — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout her career, Jennifer Sung has demonstrated a strong commitment to serving in the public’s interest and protecting working Americans from exploitation. I welcome and strongly support her nomination to the 9th Circuit Court. https://t.co/iYOFAPk8Cc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

On this day in 1964, the Civil Rights Act was signed into law. We’ve made progress toward the American ideal of liberty and justice for all, but our work continues to secure equal civil rights and justice for everyone in our country. https://t.co/w06RT0vUEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need legislation to protect our freedom to vote, end gerrymandering, stop billionaires from buying elections, and stop corruption that stems from conflicts of interest. I'm working to get a bill with those four principles passed, even if it requires reforming the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s easier for folks to thrive with a safe, stable roof overhead. That's why I introduced the Affordable HOME Act, a comprehensive strategy to increase housing access and affordability in Oregon and across the country. https://t.co/QTsNQvTYhh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The right-wing majority on the Supreme Court is making it easier for billionaires to buy elections and harder for people to vote in them. That isn’t right, and I will continue to fight in the Senate to protect our freedom to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to update and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Pass it on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Totally agree. I’m working to pass the USPS Shipping Equity Act to end the outdated regulation that prohibits USPS from delivering alcohol to consumers, even though their private competitors can. This bill is a win for businesses and consumers. https://t.co/ANS7LuTcR5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is outrageous. We should be making it easier for Americans to vote, not upholding Republican attempts to suppress and restrict our freedom to vote. This is exactly why we need federal protections to ensure every American has equal access to the ballot box. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The heat we’re feeling in Oregon and across the Northwest is a look into our future if we fail to #ActOnClimate. We need to act quickly for the sake of our planet and our health. Triple-digit temperatures are deadly—they can't be the new “normal.”https://t.co/dwawtEdtwv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our 13th Amendment bans slavery—except as “a punishment for crime.” That’s a huge piece of systemic racism in the middle of our Constitution. We must #EndTheException. https://t.co/Z8BKi7wwzM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to work toward solutions now, in this package, to tackle climate chaos head-on and keep us moving forward an equitable clean energy future. Climate can’t be left on the dock when the infrastructure package sets sail. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The deadly heat we’re experiencing here in Oregon and across the Northwest makes plain the need for infrastructure that can be resilient in the face of the climate crisis. Climate chaos is one of the biggest challenges we face: it threatens our health, planet, and future. — PolitiTweet.org

We need federal action to: 1️⃣ Lower the cost of housing 2️⃣ Build up our housing supply 3️⃣ Provide housing and supportive services to reduce chronic homelessness 4️⃣ Address racial discrimination in federal housing policies 5️⃣ Build a more nimble emergency housing program — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

There is a 7 million unit gap between affordable housing units and the needs of the American people, and chronic homelessness threatens the health and well-being of hundreds of thousands of people every year. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone in this country should have a safe, affordable place to live. Having a safe, stable roof overhead makes it easier for folks to thrive. Today, I announced the #AffordableHOMEAct with that simple principle in mind. (Thread) — PolitiTweet.org

I am working to ensure Oregonians have the resources they need now, and that we make decisions on infrastructure with climate in mind. If we fail to tackle the climate crisis, we’re endangering our health, planet, and future. — PolitiTweet.org

We have made so much progress, but our work continues to ensure no one is discriminated against because of who they are or who they love, starting by passing the #EqualityAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today, we reflect on the Stonewall Uprising—led by transgender women of color—and the advancements for LGBTQIA+ rights that followed. I am grateful to all of the queer activists and allies who put their bodies on the line and continue to lead the fight for equal rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone in our nation should be able to go to school without fear of discrimination. I am glad that SCOTUS upheld Gavin's right to use the boys' restroom. We must pass the #EqualityAct so all LGBTQIA+ Americans can live as their authentic selves, protected from discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org
