In case it got lost in the fray of @realdonaldtrump turning the signing ceremony into a political hit job, strong bipartisan sanctions on those who undermine HK’s autonomy are now law. China's attacks against democracy & human rights will not be ignored. https://t.co/iWXNpRzJaT — PolitiTweet.org

This is politicization of govt at its worst. Trump is sidelining CDC so he can manipulate the data for political gain. To fight COVID-19, we need transparency + scientific integrity, not campaign politics. @realdonaldtrump: Return the data to CDC & give the public full access. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Millions of Americans are losing health coverage along w/ their jobs, yet @SenateGOP @realDonaldTrump keep trying to make care harder to get—even during COVID. This crisis shows why we need a simple, seamless health care system that covers everyone by virtue of living in America. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a big win and an important reminder that your voice, speaking out and speaking up against this Administration’s bigotry and cruelty, CAN EFFECT CHANGE. To everyone who fought this disgusting policy: thank you. https://t.co/z06FBHA2LO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The escalation of violence by shadowy federal law enforcement forces that may be taking direction from outside Oregon is unacceptable. @RonWyden @RepBonamici @RepBlumenauer and I are pushing back. https://t.co/UVPMT70mK7 https://t.co/ZBgpyDaiLJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The death penalty is ineffective. The death penalty is inconsistent. The death penalty is racist. It is time to abolish the death penalty in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We must call out this policy for what it is: a cruel and senseless attempt to use international students as political pawns in order to coerce colleges and universities to reopen campuses this fall regardless of public health guidance. https://t.co/coIGAx5C3K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We demand respect for Americans who have taken to the streets to raise their voices in peaceful support of the Black Lives Matters movement. No one should be intimidated or assaulted when they peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights. https://t.co/ZVO2YwTo17 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The pandemic isn’t over. Slowing the spread and saving lives must continue to be our priority. Since many airlines won’t take this step on their own, Congress must step in. https://t.co/6cZM1YZFiy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

By sending in this kind of occupying force, Donald Trump has inflamed the situation, not helped it. The Trump/Barr occupiers should get out of Oregon. https://t.co/x3gbd9IAFF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

7 yrs ago today, our justice system failed Trayvon Martin. 5 yrs ago it failed Sandra Bland. Trayvon & Sandra’s lives mattered. They deserved so much more than to be a clarion call for justice, but today we must answer that call & dismantle the systems that led to their deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a significant and long overdue change. Racial slurs should not be tolerated anywhere in America—let alone chanted and celebrated in our nation’s capital. Thank you to the Native activists who led this fight & are continuing to lead on so many important issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Given Trump’s misuse of force against protesters outside the White House and elsewhere, the deployment of federal agents in Portland raises serious concerns. We need answers. https://t.co/MUOL039tk8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Higher education provides a ladder of economic opportunity to students. But students across America are facing complex financial emergencies that threaten their ability to remain enrolled. That’s why this relief is so critical. https://t.co/O7E4L6kaiQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The pandemic has forced us to rethink how we go about our daily lives including doctor’s visits. Setting up new telehealth systems is burdensome, but it’s critical that our health providers have the resources they need to give safe & effective care to all. https://t.co/zWGHAoHBTJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

A six-week course to “train” citizens on ICE tactics sounds like a program to encourage profiling and vigilantism, increasing racism and hate in America. This is the last thing we need, now or ever. ICE should cancel this course immediately. https://t.co/WzIcJCxww0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Agricultural success and innovation are woven into the very fabric of our state, and I’m excited to see that magic going directly into our schools through hands-on ag education, healthy eating initiatives, and local produce supplies for meals. https://t.co/SyQBNMSlQ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Under @realDonaldTrump, “Equal Justice Under Law” is a farce. Commuting Roger Stone’s sentence is a new low. Trump has one system for his crooked friends. A different system for everyone else. Despicable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Slavery is still legal in America. We can’t wrestle fully with the sins of our past when they’re still being committed today. It’s time to close the loophole in the 13th Amendment and end slavery in America. https://t.co/XEMApn6jzJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

In light of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, I am demanding that A.G. Barr immediately rescind Jeff Session’s 2017 order that would allow transgender workers to be discriminated against. It was always wrong, but now there’s nothing left to hide behind. https://t.co/dyCcsmFYs0 — PolitiTweet.org

The President is dismissing the experts in his rush to reopen schools. It’s critical that we get this right. Guidelines for reopening should be informed by public health, educators & parents – not politically-driven wishful thinking. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today’s #SCOTUS decisions make it clear: No one is above the law. Presidents are accountable to Congress and the American people. The American people deserve to know the truth of what the President has been hiding. — PolitiTweet.org

Lt. Col. Vindman is a patriot and a hero. The fact that he was bullied out of service is a disgrace. All who pressured him should show an ounce of the honor he did and resign. https://t.co/2db71ePuAP — PolitiTweet.org
