13 years ago, the Supreme Court handed down the Citizens United decision—a disaster for our democracy. This decision has allowed the powerful and privileged to inject billions of dollars into our elections from the shadows. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Greta Thunberg is right. It’s absurd and obscene to hold a climate conference in the UAE. World leaders are failing their responsibility to our health and planet, which is obvious given we are burning more fossil fuels now than at any time in the past. https://t.co/ENKDqmEtoI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This law changes the very language we use to describe the destruction fossil fuels are doing to our planet—making industry greenwashing into law. That’s just plain wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Dark money is a poison. Secretive groups funded by the fossil fuel industry to push damaging plans from the shadows are the latest example of the dangerous influence of dark money on our political system and our lives. We need to pass the DISCLOSE Act. https://t.co/oARf6sMkQ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The insights I hear from Oregonians during these community town halls is critical to shaping the priorities I work on in D.C. https://t.co/2rDdD36pz7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Just wrapped up a few days full of town halls with folks from Sherman, Wasco, Hood River, Lincoln, Tillamook, Clatsop, Morrow, and Gilliam Counties. https://t.co/Zv5u6YUVDP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As authorities in Hong Kong continue to broaden their attempts to quash dissent from Hong Kong residents living in the U.S., I joined @RepMcGovern and @senkaineteam in urging the Biden administration to extend the Deferred Enforced Departure program. https://t.co/fkFQO3tJru — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Voting by mail already works in red and blue states alike. It shouldn’t be partisan—expanding the safe, simple system of voting by mail is about making sure every American, regardless of political affiliation, has a voice in our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

PFAS is called a “forever chemical” because the harm it does is lasting. Our drinking water and the food we eat are threatened by these dangerous chemicals—I will continue fighting in the Senate for the resources we need to protect our communities.https://t.co/XW8EEGOMG7 — PolitiTweet.org

I secured funding that’s headed to Morrow and Umatilla Counties to help understand the full scope of the nitrate problem and chart out solutions—I’ll keep working to make sure all Oregonians in every corner of the state have access to clean, safe drinking water. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I met with members of the rural Boardman community this weekend who are facing serious nitrate contamination of water from their wells. https://t.co/xoSfuF3s7g — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

There’s a reason why Oregon had the highest voter turnout rate in the November 2022 election: vote by mail works! It’s simple, secure, and lets folks vote on their own time. We should expand this system nationwide! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone should have a safe, affordable roof overhead. I’m working to address the housing crisis in Oregon, and these critical investments from @HUDgov will make a difference for Oregonians with disabilities across our state who need a safe place to live. https://t.co/aOUWXi4tDT — PolitiTweet.org

Houses in our communities should be homes for people, not a cash cow for Wall Street! https://t.co/RAQBShMdz6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

One-size-fits-all solutions to our national health problems don’t always fit the challenges to providing and accessing care in rural communities. Creating an Office of Rural Health is a step toward making sure folks living in rural communities get the care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Art enriches our lives. I'm pleased to see this critical support for artists across Oregon, and will continue to advocate for the investments we need to have a successful and thriving arts industry and community across the nation. https://t.co/TdLLnfauZ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rent increases are through the roof for so many people, often because their big Wall Street landlords are ruthless in wringing out every dollar. It’s time to pass my End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act! — PolitiTweet.org

Every year, this event is such an important chance for local and business leaders from across Oregon to celebrate Dr. King's life and recommit to building on his legacy of fighting for equal rights and racial justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

THANK YOU to Bernie and Bobbie Foster and the @TheSkannerNews team for bringing folks together for the 37th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast today. Congratulations to Kimberly S. Moreland for receiving the Drum Major for Justice award! https://t.co/9y6rgMV3jP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Reminder that our 13th Amendment STILL allows for slavery “as a punishment for crime.” We have great strides still to make to root out racial injustice, starting by passing the Abolition Amendment. https://t.co/jgUML4LeoV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I will continue to work to reform the filibuster and get our Senate back to working order so we can pass critical bills like the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words on the filibuster ring as true today as when he said them 60 years ago. https://t.co/COxoxsJa6b — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Recognition of Dr. King’s tireless work to advance racial justice and civil rights and celebration of his legacy must be coupled with concrete action. One way we can do this is by acting boldly to protect the fundamental freedom of every American to vote. #MLKDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I worked to secure federal funding for Morrow and Umatilla counties to find long-term solutions for providing folks greater access to clean water. I’ll continue advocating to ensure community members in Eastern Oregon and across the state have that access. https://t.co/95GiLzm3mV — PolitiTweet.org
