Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It’s no secret that GHG pollution is driving the climate crisis. It’s time to steer our country in another direction. Last week, I teamed up with @PeterWelch to introduce the Electric Cars Act to increase access to and infrastructure for electric vehicles. #ClimateFriday — PolitiTweet.org

Public health measures like wearing masks and washing our hands keep our communities safer and healthier. Look at the phenomenal difference these things made in transmission of the flu, which like COVID, is a respiratory illness. — PolitiTweet.org

@SenatorHick Thank you for giving a voice to the folks who need the #AmericanRescuePlan, @SenatorHick. It’s a good reminder of why we do this work—and why we’ve got to get this relief package done ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

DeJoy has placed roadblocks and burdens on our mail carriers and delayed the USPS deliveries we all rely on. He’s utterly failed in the role of Postmaster General, and it’s time for him to go. https://t.co/C3GIRHfXiK — PolitiTweet.org

I’m introducing the #RESPONDAct in the Senate to ensure the retirement portfolios of the federal workforce can be more sustainable and more socially responsible. https://t.co/TPiDcaiipV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It’s time for Congress to give millions of federal employees the power to ensure their retirement funds aren’t invested in the fossil fuel companies driving climate chaos. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is racism and an outrageous attack on fundamental rights. If you love the Constitution, join in the fight to defend the ballot box for all Americans. https://t.co/nYtB2ME1T3 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the 30+ organizations that have endorsed the Honduras Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Act and that are advocating across both of our countries to end systemic impunity, corruption, and human rights violations in Honduras. https://t.co/Ef6EISBivR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Huge thanks to the 21 Attorneys General from across the country who are supporting the #ForThePeople Act. Removing barriers to the ballot box, fixing partisan gerrymandering, and addressing dark money in politics is critical to strengthening our democracy. Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

For too long, the Senate has not worked for the American people. We can't let the filibuster that enabled Jim Crow & denied Black Americans voting rights continue to impede the American people’s fundamental, constitutional right to free and fair elections. https://t.co/f3xNS3CHkm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

BREAKING: The House has just passed #HR1, the #ForThePeople Act! They’ve done their job to strengthen our democracy and protect YOUR right to vote. I’m leading the Senate companion bill. We must defend every American’s right to participate in elections! https://t.co/eK57PFeR3O — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to confront the racism that has plagued our nation’s past and present, and do our best to keep it from poisoning our future. Every American—regardless of the color of their skin or where they live—has the same right to liberty and justice. https://t.co/j7xdnlh0m8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

George Floyd should be alive today. So should Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, Philando Castile, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and so many others who have been killed by police brutality. Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough—we need systemic change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I applaud each of my colleagues in the House who raised their voice for justice and progress tonight and voted to pass the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act. I’m committed to working to get this legislation through the Senate and to @POTUS’s desk as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I challenge any Senator who opposes raising the federal minimum wage to live on $7.25 an hour. THEN we can talk about whether it’s sufficient for our working families. #RaiseTheWage — PolitiTweet.org

Building back better means investing in a healthier, more equitable, clean energy economy that leaves no one behind. The THRIVE Agenda will put millions back to work in justice-driven projects that will benefit us all. #GoodJobsForAll https://t.co/zKBQzbV7Wo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Republican party is working overtime to block voters from exercising their constitutional right to vote. @SenAmyKlobuchar is right—we can’t let the rules of the Senate give Mitch McConnell a veto over legislation that would protect the American people’s right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is what competent leadership can deliver. We’re going to crush this virus and save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

According to @DataProgress, 67% of likely voters—including Republicans—support legislation like this. So, let’s get it done. Learn more about the Ban Conflicted Trading. ⬇️ https://t.co/vyu7KB041A — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Ban Conflicted Trading Act would bar members of congress and senior congressional staff from buying or selling individual stocks and other investments, and from serving on any corporate boards, while in office. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

That’s why I teamed up with @SenatorWarnock and @SenSherrodBrown and a bipartisan group of House colleagues to introduce the Ban Conflicted Trading Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to end the era in which members of congress buy and sell individual stocks for personal gain—it is so deeply corrupt. It biases the viewpoints of members and allows members to trade on information they have that the public doesn’t. It’s unfair and it’s got to end. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our public infrastructure is crumbling before our eyes. Lives and livelihoods are on the line. We must invest in our public infrastructure—water, broadband, transportation—to ensure that communities have what they need to survive. https://t.co/GtOWCUGJ4k — PolitiTweet.org
