Our plastic waste isn’t being recycled, it’s being borne out to sea or shipped to developing countries – disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable communities. We must confront this pollution and #BreakFreeFromPlastic to achieve #EnvironmentalJustice. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone has a right to the health care they need, without having to worry about discrimination. This is a big move by the Biden administration to protect LGBTQ Americans seeking critical care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

By @BrennanCenter's count, more than 360 bills that would restrict our freedom to vote have been introduced across the country in 2021 alone. We all deserve equal access to the ballot box—that’s why we need to pass the #ForThePeople Act in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Americans pay 5x and 10x what patients in other developed countries pay for the same prescription drugs. I have a bill that will bring these soaring drug prices down and #EndPriceGouging on medications so every American can get the prescriptions they need. — PolitiTweet.org

I know that this day may be difficult for some folks, for a multitude of reasons. I’m thinking of those who are hurting today, and urge you to protect your peace as well as you can. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Happy #MothersDay to all of the mothers in Oregon and across our country! We can support every mother beyond just today by passing protections for equal pay, making paid family leave the standard, and making sure that everyone has access to quality, affordable child care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

My #KeepItInTheGround Act gets to the root cause of the climate crisis: Fossil fuel extraction and the companies that profit from it. This bill will ensure there are no new fossil fuel leases on public lands and waters—it’s critical that we get it passed ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Since I introduced my #EndPriceGouging for Medications Act, I’ve been asked if this bill will stifle innovation. The answer: that's bogus. Nothing more than a big pharma talking point to protect their profits. We can invest in innovation AND have affordable prescription drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our right to vote is under attack. Instead of fighting this battle case by case in courts across the nation, the Senate should pass the #ForThePeople Act and protect ALL Americans’ freedom to vote. We’re all Americans. We should all get to vote. https://t.co/2hoYxdl6mN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’m not concerned about the political machinations behind these bills. I’m concerned about the trans youth that are the targets of these disgusting attacks. We need the #EqualityAct to ensure every American can live free from discrimination. https://t.co/QFNHdDFrqZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I invited leaders from @BasicRights to join me virtually for Joe Biden’s Joint Address last week. Afterwards, we discussed how powerful it is to have a president who is fighting to pass the #EqualityAct and who will tell trans youth he has their back. https://t.co/GZrBtOmH1u — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Another attack on Americans’ freedom to vote. Next week, @SenateRules will hold our first-ever mark-up on the #ForThePeople Act—moving us closer to passage of this bill. We’re not going to let the bills we’re seeing in GA, FL, MT, and TX go unanswered. https://t.co/ETp2dZF6bn — PolitiTweet.org

Wow, @ChrisCoons! That’s a sight. Here’s a photo of Mary and me enjoying the Oregon coast. What about you, @SenCortezMasto? What’s one of your favorite spots in Nevada? #TravelAndTourismWeek https://t.co/tNQTjm09u4 — PolitiTweet.org

This is a huge step toward tackling the climate crisis. Grateful to the activists and elected leaders who have been pushing for this. I look forward to working with @SecDebHaaland to address climate change while preserving America’s natural beauty for generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

To end corrupt partisan decisions by the FEC on enforcement of campaign laws, we need the reforms in the For The People Act. https://t.co/rrkNjri9nJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This planet belongs to all of us and the climate crisis will impact humans for generations to come. We deserve to know who is profiting off the destruction of our planet with dirty fossil fuel projects. https://t.co/eNX4fl1Ai3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Over 350 historians, political scientists and scholars have come together to tell the Senate to fix the filibuster. It’s time we listen to them. We cannot allow an arcane Senate rule to deny the American people the progress that they voted for and that they need to thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

I asked why you support the #ForThePeople Act, and you came through. For all of these reasons and for so many others, I’ll continue to fight to get this bill passed in the Senate. https://t.co/UQeZNvT3AB — PolitiTweet.org

Waste-to-energy facilities produce toxic emissions, and 79% of these facilities are located in areas where these emissions disproportionately impact people of color and low-income families. These communities are being poisoned by our plastic waste. We must #BreakFreeFromPlastic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It's not just déjà vu: Republicans are systematically denying Americans their right to vote in state after state. We have the power to make a change. We need to pass the #ForThePeople Act. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Handing the keys to the Biden agenda to McConnell is like a chicken handing a knife to a butcher. Filibuster must go. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is really big. Glad to see the Biden administration heeding the call of advocates and those of us in Congress who have been calling for this step. We must put people above profits to save lives and end this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
