Every vote should count equally in choosing our presidents. The most obvious way to do this would be to pass my constitutional amendment abolishing the Electoral College. However, that’s not the only path to picking our next president by popular vote: — PolitiTweet.org

I pushed for President Obama to pick Janet Yellen to lead the Fed because I knew she would put working families first. At a time when our country faces a dire economic crisis, she has the right priorities and experience to lead Treasury. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s decision to appoint a Climate Envoy shows that Joe Biden takes climate chaos seriously as a national security threat. I look forward to working with Sec Kerry to consider how we can rebuild an international coalition committed to tackling the climate crisis head on. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Our country must work to heal from Trump's cruel immigration policies. @AliMayorkas has experience welcoming—not traumatizing—immigrants coming to America. I look forward to working with him to create a system that respects our laws and welcomes newcomers with dignity & respect. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
As we enter the cold weather months and COVID surges, it’s more important than ever that families be able to stay home and stay safe through this pandemic. That’s not possible without water, electricity, and broadband. The Senate should pass my utility shutoff moratorium bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden will be a president who fights against climate chaos—a complete 180 from where we are today. If you’re like me and you believe we must tackle this threat and leave our children with a cleaner, greener future, this is great news. — PolitiTweet.org

After 2008, we saw what happens when the federal response isn’t large enough to meet the crisis & keep families afloat. Foreclosures. A slower recovery. Higher unemployment rates. We can’t make that mistake again. We need a bold stimulus package to get our economy back on track. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Is the Trump admin intentionally sabotaging our economic recovery to damage the incoming Biden admin? Not cool. American families will pay the price for this reckless policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Plastics are destroying sea life. We need scientists and industry to brainstorm solutions. We need intensive hearings and bipartisan legislation. And we need it now. https://t.co/HbNKpNTmLi — PolitiTweet.org

I’m looking forward to January 20th, when we will swear in a president who would never, ever intentionally harm kids to further a political agenda. A president who will bring families together, not tear them apart. A president with compassion and decency. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
One of the most promising vaccines requires ultra-cold storage. Local, state, & tribal governments will need resources to meet this requirement. I’m pushing HHS & the CDC to develop a national strategy for distribution so we can finally beat this virus. https://t.co/IixnmOP35r — PolitiTweet.org

70,000: That’s how many unemployed Oregonians will lose their benefits after Christmas. It is disgraceful that the Senate majority won’t do anything about it. Our communities need these resources to make it through this pandemic & economic crisis. The Senate must act ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

A tragic new milestone: COVID-19 has now killed more than 800 Oregonians. Yesterday, Oregon set new records in cases, deaths, and hospitalizations. As we await widespread distribution of a vaccine, it is incumbent upon each and every one of us to help slow the spread of COVID. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Georgia’s recount confirms that Joe Biden won the state—just like he won PA, MI, WI, and AZ. Joe Biden won in a landslide, election officials have said that this was a secure election, the outcome is not in doubt. No more delays, @GSAEmily: Allow the transition to begin. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Trump is bringing MI lawmakers to the WH to pressure them to overturn election results. If it were happening in another country, there would be bipartisan denunciations of this coup attempt. Elected Republicans need to forcefully oppose this attack on the heart of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time for the #EqualityAct to become law. It’s time for every American to be protected by law no matter who they are, whom they love, or where they live. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot allow violence to continue to be inflicted on transgender people in our nation—in particular, Black and Latinx trans women, who face unfathomable rates of murder and assault. We can’t allow discrimination in housing, education, jury duty, and more to continue. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
We must fight to ensure everyone is free to be who they are without fear of discrimination or violence. On #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance, I’m holding the memories of the transgender Americans we’ve lost & the loved ones they left behind close to my heart. We must end this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
We can’t allow working families to be crushed by this economic crisis. We still have more than 60 days until Biden takes office. The situation is too dire for Trump or McConnell to walk away from the table. They should continue negotiations to provide Americans with relief. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Marine debris and plastic pollution in our oceans are devastating coastal communities and ecosystems. Happy to see that the Senate is addressing this issue with a bill I cosponsored, the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act. Our work isn’t over. We’re going to build on this progress. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Trump kept promising to lower drug prices, but never had the backbone to deliver. This last minute, sloppy attempt won’t help anyone because the courts will throw it out. We need to pass my bipartisan bill to lower drug prices for ALL, not just those on Medicare. https://t.co/Po3gX0kZY7 — PolitiTweet.org

Protect your friends, families, and neighbors by distancing, washing hands, wearing masks, and limiting gatherings, especially over the next few weeks and during the holidays. We can beat this—let’s make sure we all get through it together. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
We’re reaching record hospitalizations and case numbers that are a 5 alarm fire. But effective vaccines are coming that are a light at the end of the tunnel. So let’s all double down to save as many lives as possible until we get there. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump admin has used the pandemic as an excuse to expel migrant children seeking safety in America. This cruel policy is another attempt to snuff out Lady Liberty’s torch. I’m glad a judge has ordered an end to this practice. — PolitiTweet.org

A quarter of a million Americans have now died from COVID. This is a heartbreaking tragedy—and worse, it was preventable. To all those who have lost a friend, a family member, or a neighbor to this pandemic: You’re in my prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Central America is being slammed by Hurricane Iota. This comes just 2 weeks after Eta struck & in the midst of an ongoing global pandemic. We should extend robust humanitarian aid to reach displaced populations & at-risk rural/Indigenous communities. — PolitiTweet.org
