Senator Whitehouse nailed it. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s call with McCarthy is another powerful piece of evidence that Trump was on the side of the rioters attacking the Capitol. He utterly failed his oath to protect and defend our nation. This should seal the conviction with every senator. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We can hold Trump accountable and ensure that every generation of Americans remember the violence he incited—and try to ensure it never happens again. 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Too many of my colleagues are hiding from their responsibilities by claiming that since Trump already left office, there’s nothing they can do about the insurrection. Absurd. Lives were lost. Our democracy was attacked. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

The “Remain in Mexico” program was illegal & immoral, & I’m glad to see @POTUS changing direction. America can have a fair, legal immigration system—but we must first undo the destruction the Trump admin wrought, & come together to build a better system. https://t.co/HkrST6ceyL — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing a healthy, prosperous, and happy #YearOfTheOx to all those celebrating in Oregon and across the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Last year’s wildfire season was a haunting reminder that the health and safety of our communities depend on maintaining healthy forests and tackling the climate crisis. I’m proud to be leading the subcommittee at the heart of those challenges. Let’s get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

During a break from the impeachment trial, I joined @BWilliams and @NicolleDWallace to talk about how America must come together in the wake of the insurrection and how we must reject those who seek to divide us. https://t.co/i57BRvaP1b — PolitiTweet.org

We are moving forward to ensure that Americans who received the last round of stimulus payments receive the next round as well. The danger isn’t in providing too much relief; the danger is in providing too little. Let’s get it done & ensure Americans get the relief they need NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

An absurdity: Trump claiming the election was stolen. An atrocity: sending a mob to storm the Capitol, and destroy ballots, to keep him in power. https://t.co/WL3YZm3Er2 — PolitiTweet.org

I've cosponsored the bill to recognize Officer Goodman with the Congressional Gold Medal. It is so deserved. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This language is disturbingly similar to that Trump and his allies used to incite his followers in the weeks and months leading up to the violent insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Using this language now is a not-so-thinly-veiled threat, but America will not be intimidated. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Over 8 million premature deaths worldwide were caused by burning fossil fuels in 2018 alone. That’s 1 in 5. Fossil fuel pollution isn’t a problem to address at some point down the road – it’s a health emergency, and it’s happening now. #PollutionKills https://t.co/XbnTJJ9S03 — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to have the support of @AFLCIO on the #ForThePeople Act. Reforms to make sure the American people are able to vote and that their government works for them are long overdue. — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful video House impeachment managers played on the floor today. I’ll warn you it contains graphic violence and language. I’m sharing this video because it plainly lays out the case for accountability: https://t.co/DcYrJBtclP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

While Trump is no longer president, we must demand accountability for his effort to seize power despite losing the election & direct incitement of a violent insurrection targeting Congress, the VP & Capitol. The healing of our nation & our very democracy depend on accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Massive GOP gerrymandering after 2010, the 2013 gutting of the Voting Rights Act, Trump’s 2016 Electoral College win, the insurrection: It’s all connected. The For The People Act won’t fix all these problems overnight. But it will disrupt this trend and fortify our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Trump abused his pardon power like no other president—and those are the ones we’re aware of. We need reform that demands transparency & accountability, so that pardons are a tool of countering injustice, not a secret get-out-of-jail card for cronies or another Oval Office grift. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

“America First” too often meant America walking away from its role as a global leader. I’m glad to see the U.S. re-engage the U.N. Human Rights Council. This position will allow our diplomats to advocate for our values around the world and hold human rights abusers accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

The impact you’ve had at NARAL is immeasurable, Ilyse. The work you’ve done has changed lives, and I’m looking forward to hearing what the next step is on your journey. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We cannot look back and wish we had done more to save our democracy. We have the opportunity to act now and we must. The American people and our very democracy depend on the passage of the For The People Act. https://t.co/NhxUsmPrw5 — PolitiTweet.org

#BlackHistoryMonth allows us all a chance to celebrate and honor Black history and Black art in Oregon and across America. The Portland Jazz Festival is one way to do that! Let’s support local Black artists and this music that has shaped America. https://t.co/VaofmDAGk9 — PolitiTweet.org

As income inequality worsens, so do disparities in voter turnout. More income inequality drives lower turnout drives more inequality. It’s time to pass #S1 to stop the spiral and put the American people back in charge of their economy and their future! https://t.co/jlHbzyQ0ZV https://t.co/S7qsqVsHXs — PolitiTweet.org

Cutting child poverty in half would be transformational. This is the type of policy that invests directly in families and ensures they can thrive. https://t.co/Uayn5SaxOV — PolitiTweet.org
