Roads and broadband are infrastructure. So is child care. The American Jobs Plan is an chance to ensure every American can thrive. That means being able to get from place to place, but also putting systems in place that allow everyone to grow up healthy and connected. — PolitiTweet.org

The #ForThePeople Act will protect our freedom to vote by ensuring that every eligible American can cast a ballot. By electing leaders who govern in our interests, we can move forward together as a nation and make the promise of our democracy real for us all. — PolitiTweet.org

We can drastically improve housing in the U.S. while building back better. That looks like: ✅ Choice Vouchers available to everyone who qualifies ✅ A $70B investment in repairs to public housing ✅ $45B per year to the Housing Trust Fund to build new homes @NLIHC https://t.co/bCX8pUBpvn — PolitiTweet.org

Americans have been ripped off on their prescription drugs for far too long. Whether you’re in a blue, purple or a red county, the people want Congress and the White House to side with them, not Big Pharma. I am going to push to make sure that happens. — PolitiTweet.org

As Oregon faces another wildfire season, I’m working with @EPAMichaelRegan and @SecRaimondo to address the environmental impacts of wildfire, protect local economies, and keep our communities safer. https://t.co/W0d1MQ4q81 — PolitiTweet.org

The only people in this country who think drug prices aren’t way too high are the ones getting rich from drug company profits. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Two-thirds of Americans believe that businesses that produce or use plastic should pay for collecting & recycling those plastics, and 80% support phasing out certain non-recyclable plastics. That’s a ringing endorsement for my #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act, which does both! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We must prioritize people over pharmaceutical company profits. We can save lives abroad AND in the U.S. by relaxing vaccine intellectual property rules so this life-saving medicine can quickly reach as many as possible and stop the spread of variants. https://t.co/kOzkAM1MlA — PolitiTweet.org

The American Jobs Plan is an investment in our people, our planet, and our future. #ActOnClimate https://t.co/PLhYLWPVQL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We all have the right to breathe clean air. But right now, 40% of Americans live in counties with unhealthy air—and communities of color often breathe the most polluted air. We need a just transition to clean energy to do better for ALL Americans. #ActOnClimate — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

President Biden and Vice President Harris are correct—we need to come together to solve the climate crisis and work toward a just and livable future. #ActOnClimate https://t.co/bMK4DxSPCQ — PolitiTweet.org

Every child deserves the chance to thrive. But that will be virtually impossible if their planet is being destroyed by climate chaos. We need bold, decisive action that will help tackle the climate crisis, protect future generations, and address environmental injustices. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Glad to see @POTUS's commitment to #ActOnClimate. The U.S. commitment is a step toward the climate action we need—but we must do more. As we move toward a clean energy economy, we can protect our planet and fight for environmental justice while investing in clean energy jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

All Americans should have access to the medication they need. We can help families get the medicine they need by passing my bill to stop pharmaceutical companies from ripping us off. #EndPriceGouging https://t.co/CfOdwpnoro — PolitiTweet.org

We all deserve clean air and water. For too long, we’ve allowed greedy, powerful corporations to pollute unchecked—and low-income Americans and Black and Brown Americans bear the worst impacts. We must come together to put people ahead of profits and ensure all can thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

There is no clean energy future without environmental justice. Addressing and repairing the disproportionate impact of climate change and pollution on low-income communities and communities of color must be central to @EPA's mission and our just transition to clean energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Earth Day is a time to recommit ourselves to caring for the planet we call home and the neighbors we share it with. We can protect our home by working together to address the climate crisis and expedite a just transition to clean energy. #EarthDay2021 — PolitiTweet.org
