Nobody should have to spend hours waiting in line to exercise their right to vote. Forcing people to wait in long lines is a long-standing tactic used to prevent certain Americans from getting to the ballot box, and it’s well past time to put an end to it. https://t.co/zpN2SAfaNZ — PolitiTweet.org

The filibuster is arcane Senate procedure that is standing in the way of progress and threatening our democracy. We need to make a change. — PolitiTweet.org

Five years ago this week, Congress passed the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act. I will use my subcommittee gavel to get toxic chemicals like asbestos out of our homes and communities. https://t.co/MrYuMmzA0H — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone deserves peace of mind of knowing they aren’t being poisoned by their air, water, soil, home, or everyday household products. Nothing about that should be controversial. — PolitiTweet.org

Abolishing slavery cannot come with exceptions. @RepNikema and I introduced the #AbolitionAmendment to finally remove the clause in our 13th Amendment that allows for slavery “as a punishment for crime.” #EndTheException https://t.co/Td7CNtsKDl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

To make clear where I'm at on the filibuster: I've been leading the effort to reform the filibuster for 12 years—and the need has never been more urgent than it is now. We cannot allow the McConnell Veto to undermine Americans' freedom to vote! — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are fighting to protect our freedom to vote, block billionaires from buying elections, and end partisan gerrymandering. Every Senate Republican just refused to even discuss protecting our right to vote. Our fight is just beginning. — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS is right: "The right to vote—a sacred right in this country—is under assault with an intensity and an aggressiveness we have not seen in a long time."   Our democracy is under attack, and we have the power to fight back by passing a bill to protect our freedom to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

We all deserve a voice in our government. Washington, D.C is home to nearly 700,000 Americans who pay taxes, live and work in DC. They deserve a voice and vote in Congress just like Americans in every other state. #DCStatehood — PolitiTweet.org
