We’re inviting corruption into our government by allowing lawmakers to trade stocks by night and vote on laws that affect their portfolio the next day. I have a bill with @SenSherrodBrown, @SenatorWarnock, and @CongressmanRaja to end this corruption. https://t.co/8le1cHoOyU — PolitiTweet.org

If you’ve lost a loved one, I encourage you to apply. Visit https://t.co/YlVIwJd1lV or call 1-844-684-6333 for assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Losing a loved one to COVID-19 is difficult—families should not have to struggle to meet the costs of a funeral on top of dealing with that grief. This week, FEMA is opening a reimbursement program for COVID-related funeral expenses. — PolitiTweet.org

The impact of plastics: It produces toxic fumes that poison our communities, disproportionately affecting our Black, Brown, and low-income neighbors. It’s choking our marine life. It’s infecting our water and food. We must #BreakFreeFromPlastic. https://t.co/evvhP7LFXJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Power belongs with the people, not with special interests. If we want to make sure that our government is really of, by, and for the people, we need to pass the #ForThePeople Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Monarch butterfly populations across America are collapsing. We must preserve the habitats of this iconic species to prevent its extinction. I’m working with @RepJimmyPanetta to pass legislation that will protect and expand monarch habitats. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Republicans’ strategy to gain power depends completely on gerrymandering, enabling billionaires to buy elections with dark money, and denying our freedom to vote. Ending all three is essential to defending our “We the People” republic! https://t.co/jh4CeSEKs3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The climate crisis is bearing down on us. We dug the hole we’re in even deeper over the last four years and we don’t have time to waste. The American Jobs Plan is an important step to repairing our crumbling infrastructure, and moving to a clean energy economy. Let’s get it done! — PolitiTweet.org

We must pass the #PROAct to end these union-busting tactics and ensure the next time workers try to unionize, they do so free from interference. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Organizers were up against one of the largest companies in the world, which was using aggressive tactics. The efforts of organizers are crucial in the longer struggle for fair working conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Thank you to @BAmazonUnion and @RWDSU who fought to ensure that workers at Amazon in Alabama know their rights and were able declare their will to unionize. — PolitiTweet.org

The same powerful polluters that fight against environmental justice are also fighting against #S1. They recognize what we should all realize: The battle for the environment is completely interconnected with the battle for democracy. #ClimateFriday https://t.co/IJfwOKaC8n — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

There’s a reason why my colleagues, the President, and I are all in on the #ForThePeople Act and folks on the other side of the aisle are dead-set against it. (Hint: it involves corporate special interests and billionaires.) — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Polling shows 85% of voters want action to improve infrastructure now. And before negotiations even begin, McConnell shuts them down. The Senate GOP may not be onboard—but Americans are. Let’s go big and deliver for the American people. https://t.co/IJDnukzBoS — PolitiTweet.org

The American Jobs Plan contains provisions to ensure that every lead pipe in America is replaced—a huge win. Let’s finally ensure that every American has clean drinking water straight from their tap. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Disappointing, but not surprising. We cannot allow our financial system to be beholden to Big Oil, especially as we chart a path to a clean energy economy. I introduced legislation to stop this, and I’ll fight to get it passed. https://t.co/Mw7aVY6xhB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The legislation to ban health care for trans youth in Arkansas is cruel and dangerous. I will not stop fighting until we’ve enshrined equality for all in federal law and made sure trans folks are treated with dignity and respect. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

These land mines maim or kill thousands of civilians, including children. Time for them to go. Team Biden: Do the right thing and reverse this Trump-era policy now. https://t.co/M6ox4EiRY8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The American Jobs Plan is a big bet on the middle class. It’s a remake of our economy so your hard work creates a better future for your family, not more wealth for the richest. I look forward to working with the Biden administration to craft this legislation and deliver results. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is what a rigged tax system looks like. It’s time for massive corporations to pay their fair share.https://t.co/Kh8TFo52Ke — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our elected officials should win office based on the strength of their ideas, not their ability to rig votes. We need to pass the #ForThePeople Act to ensure that voters are choosing their representatives—not the other way around. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Scientists estimate that more than a garbage truck’s worth of plastics enters the ocean each minute. We need to pass my #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act to tackle this growing crisis and protect our health and our planet. https://t.co/evvhP7LFXJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Democrats know we need to put PEOPLE ahead of arcane Senate procedure. Failure is not an option when it comes to passing the #ForThePeople Act, and I’m committed to getting it done—with or without the filibuster. https://t.co/Q2Yz5aQHkh — PolitiTweet.org

Stay out of politics.... but, "I’m not talking about political contributions." Translation: Don't speak out against our attack on democracy but keep the dark money flowing. — PolitiTweet.org
