TOWN HALL: I’m holding a public town hall in Benton County with @RepValHoyle on 2/11 at 11:30 AM. Hearing from Oregonians about the challenges they face and the issues they care most about is crucial to shaping my work in the Senate—I hope to see you there! https://t.co/0nL6lon9R1 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve heard from folks across Oregon that they love voting by mail. Folks can vote at their kitchen table as they have their morning coffee—it’s easy and secure! Let’s expand that system nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

The images from the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria today are absolutely heart wrenching. As we continue to learn more about the scale of the damage, my thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones and those who were injured this morning. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Great to meet with folks in Jackson and Josephine Counties yesterday. I’m back on the road today for three town halls in the Willamette Valley! More info on upcoming town halls: https://t.co/W4MHcGMVSD https://t.co/RRpmOQF3m4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Republicans are trying to cut your Social Security and Medicare, and threatening to run the economy into a ditch if they don’t get their way. @SenKaineTeam and I introduced a bill to keep politicians from holding the debt ceiling hostage—we need to get it passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Folks in red states and blue states alike vote by mail—it’s a simple, secure system that makes it easy for folks to have their voices heard in our elections. We should expand voting by mail nationwide! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Republicans gave the treasury away to the powerful and privileged—and now they want to use your Social Security and Medicare to pay for it! Not on my watch—we need to put the American people ahead of the powerful. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone should have safe water to drink. The water delivery challenges in Warm Springs put the community at risk, and I will continue to work in my role as Chair of the Interior Appropriations Committee to advance clean water projects across America. https://t.co/BzqbeojOZS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

When folks come together collaboratively, we can thin overgrown forests and create better timber stands, better ecosystems, better fire resistance, and boost local economies. This is a proven, bipartisan model to promote healthier forests, not conflict. https://t.co/Q3qUb9W1Es — PolitiTweet.org

How long will it take for us to realize that it’s not in our national security interest to be so reliant on Saudi Arabia? The best way to do that? End our reliance on oil and gas, period. https://t.co/1veHS3geEF — PolitiTweet.org

Let's get to work, team! — PolitiTweet.org

Oregonians vote by mail—we have for decades! It’s a simple, secure system—one that we should expand nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

Willie’s impact is lasting. We see it in Oregon Black Pioneers as they continue their mission to honor the lives of Black Oregonians. We see it in the work she did to recruit Black teachers and administrators. My heart is with her loved ones and the whole Salem community. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

What a loss for Salem, our state, and our country. Willie Richardson fought for racial equity, inclusivity, and to open the doors of education to all. https://t.co/ABiHQ62Ycx — PolitiTweet.org

@AFLCIO @LizShuler @OregonAFLCIO We can put power back into the hands of workers, unrig the economy so it works for every American, and build our renewable energy future with union labor. We’ve made progress during @POTUS' administration, but we must go further to deliver for the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Thrilled that @AFLCIO President and fellow Oregonian @LizShuler is going to be my guest to the State of the Union Address next week! As the son of a union machinist, I know the difference that a strong union makes in delivering fair wages and workplace protections. @OregonAFLCIO — PolitiTweet.org

Strong democracies hinge on the peaceful transfer of power. The attempted coup in Brazil underscores the fragility of democracy and the concerted efforts needed to preserve it. The U.S. must condemn attempts at political violence to help Brazil uphold its democratic traditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

While families in Oregon and across the country are pinching pennies everywhere from the grocery store to the gas pump, Big Oil raked nearly $200 BILLION in profits. They’re gouging Americans at the pump while lining their own pockets. We need a Windfall Profits Tax NOW! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

THIS IS HUGE: The @EPA vetoed Pebble Mine. This is a big, big win for clean water, Native communities, and protections for our environment and salmon. Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly to get this to the finish line.  https://t.co/Ws1XFxB95W — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t forget: Republicans blocked a $35 insulin cap for children to protect the profits of Big Pharma. Democrats will continue working to lower the cost of insulin for every American! — PolitiTweet.org

We need to do more to address this startling uptick in transnational repression whenever and wherever it occurs, including this alarming account of Turkey’s efforts to target and intimidate Can Dündar, a journalist living abroad. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Transnational repression is on the rise around the world. Journalists, activists, and everyday people who have spoken truth to power in their country are bullied and blackmailed beyond that country’s borders, or even put on a “terror list.” https://t.co/mfl9RECofr — PolitiTweet.org
