Paid leave is a win for workers and saves businesses money. I joined Senate colleagues in urging the Biden administration to include 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave in the annual budget request. Let’s get this done for working people. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans gave away the treasury to the rich and want to destroy Social Security and Medicare to pay for it. Not happening!https://t.co/PZQhYRQQng — PolitiTweet.org

Over the last two years, the Biden Administration has: ✅ Created millions of jobs ✅ Confirmed a historic slate of judges ✅ Passed legislation to lower prices for Americans Let’s continue to build on that progress! — PolitiTweet.org

Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered for speaking truth to power. He was a hero for risking his life to spotlight oppression and corruption. Those values should be celebrated, not sneered at or degraded. Sucking up to dictators is never pretty and rarely makes America safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It really must be Opposite Day if Republicans are claiming that a national 30% sales tax is "fair." In what world is it fair to slam working families with huge tax increases, while giving tax breaks to the mega rich? — PolitiTweet.org

The rise of facial recognition tech is dangerous, it fuels discrimination, and it’s increasingly everywhere—used by law enforcement and entertainment venues alike. We can’t sit back and let this tech infiltrate every facet of our lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Facial recognition tech being used to ban people from entertainment events? This is really scary stuff—all part of a mass surveillance society that we should all be condemning and working to dismantle. https://t.co/DfDXSUhRD6 — PolitiTweet.org

Oregonians have voted by mail for decades—it’s simple and secure. Expanding this system nationwide is just one way we can make sure that every American has a voice in our elections, no matter who they vote for. — PolitiTweet.org

Since the Supreme Court gutted access to abortion care, there’s been a lot of confusing information out there—even in our state, where abortion is legal. This hotline is critical to cutting through the noise and getting Oregonians accurate answers about reproductive care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

RT @PattyMurray: This is the first generation of women with fewer rights than their mothers. That is so deeply wrong—and it's why I'm fight… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The GOP has gutted access to abortion care for 22 million since #RoeVWade was overturned. This isn’t the end of their extreme agenda—MAGA Republicans are pushing a national ban on abortion. I will keep fighting to protect access to the full range of reproductive care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I introduced the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act because corporations are buying up available housing nationwide and pouring fuel on the fire of the affordable housing crisis. Houses in our communities should be homes for people—not profit centers for Wall Street. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

England was “the only country in Europe without a ban” on single use plastics…and now they have one. Why is America lagging behind? Let’s fix that! https://t.co/wkhLUNWApd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Happy birthday, @OPB! Thank you for all you’ve done do to keep Oregonians informed and connected over the past 100 years. Here’s to the next 100! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

No one should spend a community celebration looking over their shoulder. Gun violence rips communities apart. I'll keep fighting to get meaningful gun safety legislation to the President’s desk and signed into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Lunar New Year celebrations should be a time of togetherness and joy for Asian and Asian American communities. I can't begin to fathom the sharp pain of loss and devastating fear caused by the horrific shooting in Monterey Park this weekend. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Every working person—no matter where they live or where they work—should have paid leave to take care of their own health and their families. @POTUS: I’m urging you to include 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave in your annual budget request. — PolitiTweet.org

Politicians shouldn’t be able to use the debt limit as a weapon—there’s too much at stake. @senkaineteam and I introduced the Protect Our CREDIT Act to allow the executive branch to raise the debt ceiling, subject to congressional override. We must pass it.https://t.co/pFXN7Hj4bR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

If House Republicans are worried about the debt, they should help us reverse the $1.5 trillion in debt-driving tax cuts they gave to the super rich and corporations. A quarter of all debt in our nation’s history was run up under Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Wishing a happy and healthy Lunar New Year to those ushering in the Year of the Rabbit in Oregon and around the world today! — PolitiTweet.org

Who can ever forget Bill Schonely exclaiming “Rip City!!” as another Blazer ball swished through the hoop? Gone but never forgotten. I’m thinking of his loved ones and all of #RipCity in the face of this loss. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone in our country, no matter where they live or what they look like, has a right to health care. As Republicans pursue a nationwide abortion ban, we must be firm in our resolve to expand abortion access. Politicians don’t belong in your bedroom or exam room, period. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to restore the rights protected in Roe and end the Hyde Amendment. I’m fighting to do both. People should be able to safely get the health care they need, including abortion care, without the fear of punishment or the threat of going broke. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today marks 50 years since Roe v. Wade. In the years since, conservative activists in the halls of Congress, state legislatures, and the Supreme Court have continually attacked our rights and gutted access to reproductive health care. Their agenda is extreme and dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Good news: Funding that @RonWyden and I worked to secure from the National Endowment for the Arts is headed to Oregon to support arts and culture organizations around the state. https://t.co/mi7RgvjWmD — PolitiTweet.org

Dark money is a poison. We need to #EndCitizensUnited and to pass the DISCLOSE Act to shine a light on dark money in politics. — PolitiTweet.org
