When you look at the evidence, it’s very clear who Democrats are working for and who Republicans are working for. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad to see the #PROAct pass in the House—it will strengthen unions and protect the right to organize. Now, we can’t let the McConnell veto kill this bill in the Senate. We must stand with working people for better pay, not with CEOs for bigger profits! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Obama called the filibuster a “Jim Crow relic” because it has been used primarily to block the opportunity for Black and Brown Americans to vote. And now the Republicans are at it again. The filibuster has enabled this systemic racism for too long. https://t.co/xDSRcncAji — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The GOP political playbook: “If you can’t beat ‘em, cheat ‘em.” Instead of winning over voters, they’re using dark money to deny citizens their right to vote. We must beat these tactics and protect free and fair elections by passing the #ForThePeople Act. https://t.co/Wkd4yjikV7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Trans women are women and #WomensHistoryMonth includes ALL women. Full stop. I’ve introduced the #EqualityAct to ensure our laws reflect that and to ensure that no one is discriminated against because of who they are or whom they love. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Biden admin has worked to ensure that we will have enough vaccines for every adult in America by the end of May. The #AmericanRescuePlan is what will ensure states and local governments have the resources they need for distribution. Let’s get it across the finish line! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I know that @brianschatz has already made this point, but I think it’s worth repeating: The American Rescue Plan will cut child poverty in half. Huge. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I look forward to working with the White House to repeal the AUMFs that have been abused for years by presidents of both parties. It’s time for Congress to reassert its constitutional power and end the forever wars. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Let’s make this #WomensHistoryMonth the last one in which equal justice for women is not enshrined in our Constitution. Let’s finally pass the Equal Rights Amendment! #IWD2021 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It’s a simple equation: The #AmericanRescuePlan = more resources for schools. I voted for this bill because we need our kids in classrooms and the answer isn’t to risk the health and lives of teachers, staff, kids, and their families—it’s to make sure schools can reopen safely. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Thank you for underscoring your commitment to protecting voting rights, @POTUS. It’s fitting that on the anniversary of civil rights leaders putting their bodies on the line for the right to vote, you took action to strengthen and repair our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Talking Filibuster—much better than our current “no-show,” “silent” process. To filibuster, folks should have to actually filibuster! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@basicrights has been on the frontline of the fight to secure equality in Oregon and ensure justice for the LGBTQ community for 25 years. The work they’ve done has had an enormous impact in the lives of so many, and I can’t wait to see what they do in their next 25! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Let us allow the sobering memory of #BloodySunday to give us time to reflect on those who put their bodies on the line to advance civil rights in this nation, and let their deep commitment to what is right energize us for the hard work ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The past is not so far behind us: we’ve already seen an unprecedented number of voter suppression laws introduced in state legislatures this year. We have work to do in this nation to repair and strengthen our democracy, and we’re standing on the shoulders of giants to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today, we remember their commitment to the fundamental right of everyone in this country to participate in democracy, and look for ways to enact their legacy. In my work, that means restoring the Voting Rights Act & rooting out voter suppression by passing the #ForThePeople Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

56 years ago, @RepJohnLewis and other champions of the civil rights movement put their lives on the line in the #BloodySunday march from Selma to Montgomery. They were demanding the right to vote. In return, they were beaten by state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the #AmericanRescuePlan, which means that we’re one step closer to putting checks in people’s pockets and vaccines in their arms. Let’s get this thing through the House and to @POTUS’s desk ASAP! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Enhanced unemployment benefits are set to expire in days. We don’t have any time to waste. We need to get the #AmericanRescuePlan to @POTUS’s desk to ensure that American families can cover household expenses and make it through this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I know folks are frustrated with the obstruction. I am too. But I promise you that I’ll work for as long as it takes to pass the #AmericanRescuePlan and get relief into the hands of folks who are hurting. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
