This report reminds us not only of the gross inhumanity of the Trump administration separating children from their parents, but that they have continuously lied to the American people about what they did. (1/2) https://t.co/9oHUWCFDv5 — PolitiTweet.org

His ONLY response is to call out the military? This is a profoundly dangerous answer and an abject failure of leadership. #blacklivesmatter — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Trump has failed to address the serial police brutality driving the protests; failed to propose solutions to the racism destroying the national values of justice and opportunity; failed to speak to the American people to calm the nation, and redirect the anger to activism. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Tonight Trump ordered an assault on protestors with rubber bullets and tear gas so he could stand in front of a church and hold up the Bible? Clearly he has no sense of what is in the good book—things like love, peace, and reconciliation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We cannot allow officers who abuse their badge through racism and brutality to continue do so time and time again. I am working on legislation that would deny DOJ funds to any police department that refuses to report officers fired for misconduct to a national registry. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

America is smoldering today. People are right to be angry. Our law enforcement culture must change. There can be no blue wall protecting racism and brutality. https://t.co/tOVRRupSFm https://t.co/iYmLgt57nI — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s be crystal clear: Cutting the United States out of the World Health Organization in the middle of the worst global pandemic in a century makes Americans more vulnerable—more Americans will get sick and China will get stronger. https://t.co/Ht91fR4wDX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Trump’s call to shoot protestors is an incitement to murder those who call out injustice. @realDonaldTrump: How about instead, striving to end injustice? You have the bully pulpit. Use it to build a better nation, not to double-down on racism and abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Pathetic. Trump’s use of the presidential podium to smear a broadcaster with a false claim of murder massively degrades the dignity and integrity of the office. This clown show must end. https://t.co/3fHRRM5Qk2 — PolitiTweet.org

President Xi should abandon the draft national security law & respect Hong Kong’s autonomy before irreparable damage is done. I continue to stand w/ Hong Kong’s brave champions of political freedom. https://t.co/nVmotQJSmU — PolitiTweet.org

A police badge is not a license to kill. George Floyd should be alive today. Racism in our justice system and in the streets of America is rampant and powerfully destructive. We must all do all we can to face that reality and end it. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a Memorial Day unlike any before. Join me in honoring the memories of our fallen servicemen and women–Americans from all backgrounds who paid the ultimate price to protect their fellow countrymen. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be paid back, only forward. https://t.co/GtFmJ7JbJX — PolitiTweet.org

Is the Trump administration using the cover of its botched PPP rollout to wage an ideological war on health care providers? Local @PPFA affiliates are exactly the type of community nonprofit providing vital services that Congress intended to support w/ PPP https://t.co/DqZv40W2bs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The president's arson of arms control agreements is a dangerous pattern & leaves the world a more unpredictable, dangerous place. He's further eroding allies’ confidence in us as a security partner & further damaging our leadership position in the world. https://t.co/7XyDSBJMFP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

What we have under the Trump administration is a wholesale attack on the structure of the Constitution, as this president systemically destroys the checks and balances of our government. https://t.co/grUoypN7FX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Senate oversight committee is conducting political hit jobs. Here’s a much more worthy issue to explore: that White House decisions to put politics ahead of science has greatly increased the U.S. death toll. This is an issue the Senate cannot ignore. https://t.co/F2zx6NzJDD — PolitiTweet.org
