Not only was this @SenatorWarnock’s first floor speech, but it was also one of the most moving speeches I have ever heard. We need to get the #ForThePeople Act to the finish line to protect the right to vote for all Americans. https://t.co/xD8JhbA40C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Great to catch up with you after your powerful first floor speech, @SenatorWarnock. It was moving to hear you speak about democracy, and the longtime struggle to deliver on the right to vote for Black—and all—Americans. Proud to work with you on the #ForThePeople Act. https://t.co/6Wi9eVKwUh — PolitiTweet.org

Stella—thank you for testifying today at the @JudiciaryDems hearing. You said it was the honor of your life to be with us today—and I was absolutely honored to have heard your testimony. Thank you for letting us see the world through your eyes. #EqualityActNOW @GenderCool — PolitiTweet.org

How can we say, as the Declaration of Independence does, that all of us are “created equal,” and deserving of the same rights, when the law treats LGBTQ Americans unequally? I was honored to testify before @JudiciaryDems on why we need the #EqualityActNOW. https://t.co/tF7c2BqyEv — PolitiTweet.org

The western monarch butterfly is in danger—we’ve seen a population drop of 99% since the 1980s. We’re at risk of losing this iconic species. I’m introducing the MONARCH Act and the MPH Act with @RepJimmyPanetta to invest in conserving monarch habitats and #SaveTheMonarchs. https://t.co/LanRSoJUSb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I agree with @SenatorWarnock that the right to vote is too important to be sabotaged by Senate procedure. We need to get the #ForThePeople Act to the finish line. https://t.co/xD8JhbA40C — PolitiTweet.org

My heart is with the loved ones of those killed last night in Atlanta. This was a shattering attack. We’ve seen an uptick in hate crimes against the AAPI community in our country—it’s incumbent on all of us to confront racism in the U.S. and #StopAsianHate. — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody knows the Senate better then Joe Biden. And he knows it’s broken beyond recognition. We can’t let the McConnell veto destroy America! https://t.co/2mWHedNRFl — PolitiTweet.org

Our democracy is under attack: dark money is flooding our elections, states are passing voting restrictions that target communities of color, and Republicans are doubling down on voter suppression. I won’t stand by and watch—I’m introducing #S1ForThePeople to tackle these issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow, the Senate will hold its first-ever hearing on the #EqualityAct. This hearing is a testament to the LGBTQ activists who have organized for decades. I’m honored to have the opportunity to testify before @JudiciaryDems, and I’ll continue to fight to pass the Equality Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

A new report from @CenterForBioDiv shows nearly 800,000 households had their utilities shut off during the pandemic—no water, heat, electricity or internet. As we continue to feel the impacts of the pandemic, I’m working toward #NoShutOffs to ensure no one is left behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It is inexcusable that the Violence Against Women Act was ever allowed to expire. Throughout #WomensHistoryMonth and until it is once again the law of the land, I will push to reauthorize VAWA and protect victims of gender-based violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’ve been working behind the scenes for months to reform the filibuster and fix our broken Senate. I’m committed to restoring the Senate as a functioning body—that’s the only way we’re going to be able to deliver for the American people. https://t.co/3FFXCbZwyu — PolitiTweet.org
