Hard to be the party of the working class while you fight tooth and nail against raising the minimum wage, housing, health care, education and good jobs. https://t.co/EAp9K6E2gc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Last night, Republicans came to the floor to peddle a bill to create new barriers between voters and the ballot box. Let me be clear: I object to any efforts to make it harder for the American people to vote. I’ll continue to fight to protect every citizen’s freedom to vote. https://t.co/GW3MJCFL2v — PolitiTweet.org

You can claim 2+2=5. That doesn’t make it so. For decades the filibuster was used for one thing: to ensure states could discriminate against their Black and Brown citizens. We can’t let history repeat itself. https://t.co/1uyrdqGK3H — PolitiTweet.org

This plan, Medicare Part E, would be self-sustaining and fully paid for by premiums. Learn more about the #ChooseMedicare Act and how it makes our health care system work better for the American people. ⬇️ https://t.co/5j9wxnrN24 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

If privately run health care is really better than Medicare, fine—it’s time for the private sector to prove it. In the meantime, let’s allow every American family the chance to #ChooseMedicare if it’s the right option for them or their family members. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We already have an affordable, popular health care solution: Medicare. Today, I’m introducing the #ChooseMedicare Act to create a Medicare option open to every American. It puts consumers and businesses in the driver’s seat on the road to universal health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

No one in this country should go bankrupt over medical expenses. We all deserve excellent health care at an affordable price. This isn’t a pie-in-the-sky idea. Here’s how it would work: (Thread 🧵) — PolitiTweet.org

More obstacles that make it harder for the American people to vote, this time in Arkansas. We need #S1 to protect our sacred right to vote and to stop these attacks on Americans’ freedom to vote. #ForThePeople — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is the right decision—and long overdue. After two decades of a seemingly endless war, it is past time for the people of Afghanistan—not U.S. military forces and American tax dollars—to determine the future of their country. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the Senate is taking up the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act to combat the appalling spread of anti-Asian hate and racism we’ve seen throughout the pandemic. I will be voting yes on this bill and I will continue to fight for racial justice for all. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Learn more about the #KeepItInTheGround Act and why we need to stop the leasing of fossil fuel production on our public lands and waters. ⬇️ https://t.co/y31inXuWYU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

What this bill lays out is simple: no new oil, gas, coal, or tar sands leases offshore or on federal lands. What it does is huge: accelerates the transition away from fossil fuels and toward our clean energy future and protects frontline communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We’re already seeing the impacts of climate chaos: severe droughts, devastating wildfires, and more frequent mega storms. And communities of color and low-wealth Americans bear the brunt. I’m introducing the #KeepItInTheGround Act to help us tackle climate chaos. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We still have a ways to go to ensure that everyone in our country has access to adequate and affordable health care, but after four years of attacks on Americans’ ability to get coverage, we’re finally headed in the right direction again. https://t.co/l5v6NSU0a0 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve heard from folks who had trouble getting through to the FEMA support line for COVID-19 funeral assistance. They’ve shored up support after a high volume of calls, so if you need help please call 844-684-6333 or apply online at https://t.co/HGo5wOXLKA. https://t.co/8QclKZnVt9 — PolitiTweet.org

This is the right course, long overdue. We’ve lost 2,000 servicemembers and spent trillions in pursuit of an unachievable goal. https://t.co/HyOMREWcnb — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see you working on this issue, @ClimateEnvoy. Oregon has seen the impacts of climate chaos on our oceans firsthand. That’s why I introduced the OCEAN Act to fight to protect our oceans and our blue economy. #OceanClimateAction — PolitiTweet.org
