This pipeline amplifies Russian power – that’s bad enough. But in addition, Europe depending on natural gas for a generation goes exactly against the goal of saving our planet from climate chaos. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I voted in committee today to sanction entities involved in the construction of the Nord Stream II natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. — PolitiTweet.org

We have the opportunity to create good-paying American jobs while moving closer to a clean energy economy. The Civilian Climate Corps will create millions of jobs and put Americans to work building a just and livable future. #ActOnClimate — PolitiTweet.org

Vanita Gupta will bring a crucially important civil rights and racial justice focus to the work of the Justice Department at a critical inflection point for our country. I’m proud to support her historic nomination, and I was proud to vote to #ConfirmGupta this afternoon. https://t.co/DCN6knTQlg — PolitiTweet.org

Every child has the right to breathe clean air—at home, at school, and on the way to school. I’m proud to partner with @SenAlexPadilla, @SenatorWarnock, @RepJahanaHayes, and @RepCardenas to curb dangerous, unnecessary pollution from school buses. — PolitiTweet.org

Devastating wildfires. Severe droughts. Killer storms. The climate crisis is already here and it is impacting communities of color the most. We need to pass the #KeepItInTheGround Act to protect our health, planet, economy, and future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

George Floyd should still be alive. Derek Chauvin is rightfully being held accountable for his murder, and we have more work to do. The fight continues. My full statement ⬇ https://t.co/efXj7Y2ESf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need concrete action to ensure our public safety systems protect and serve everyone, starting with passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

But accountability in individual cases is not enough. We have to root out the systemic racism that infiltrates our public safety and criminal justice systems at every level. The fight continues. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Derek Chauvin is rightfully being held accountable for the murder he committed. And we must work to ensure that full accountability is also afforded in each and every case where Black Americans have been killed by public safety officers in horrific violations of justice. — PolitiTweet.org

We all should have the opportunity to make our voice heard at the ballot box. But in 2021, 361 bills restricting the freedom to vote have been introduced in 47 states. Congress has the power to fend off these attacks on voting: we must #RestoreTheVRA & pass the #ForThePeople Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We’ve seen cannabis legalized or decriminalized across the country. But federal law still lags behind. It’s time to change that. We can start with the SAFE Banking Act to ensure cannabis businesses have access to the banking services they need. https://t.co/7rw49Zbrjn — PolitiTweet.org

I’m going to be answering questions about my #ChooseMedicare Act over on my Instagram stories. If you have questions, thoughts, or want to hear about my solution to America’s broken health care system, join us over on Instagram at @SenJeffMerkley! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Health care is a right, not a privilege. My #ChooseMedicare Act will provide all Americans who buy health care with the freedom to choose Medicare instead of private insurance and put individuals and consumers in the driver’s seat on the road to universal health care. — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t allow Americans to slip between the cracks. The CDC must act to ensure that everyone can access power, water, heat, and broadband. No exceptions. #NoShutOffs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’m glad to see @POTUS taking climate chaos seriously with a proposed increase to @EPA’s budget, including $1B for environmental justice to ensure that no community is left out as we move forward. As Chair of the Interior Approps Subcommittee, I will work to enact this plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

All kids should have a chance to make friends, pursue their interests, and learn without being bullied—by other kids or by adults. It’s time to pass the #EqualityAct and end the discriminatory legislation attacking trans youth we’re seeing in states across America. — PolitiTweet.org

Every one of us deserves to feel safe in our communities—no matter what we look like, where we’re from, where we live, the state of our mental health. All people deserve to be protected and served. We must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Adam Toledo, 13, hands up, shot dead by police. Why does this keep happening, time and time and time again? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Proud to partner with you on this, @gracenapolitano. We must undo this form of psychological abuse and move toward an immigration system that treats every human being with decency, respect, and compassion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Just another reason why we must end fossil fuel subsidies and move toward a clean energy economy rapidly. — PolitiTweet.org
