Looking forward to joining this fantastic group of activists and leaders fighting for a brighter, safer future for coming generations. Join us if you can! #EarthDayLive 🌏 — PolitiTweet.org

This is chilling. Leaders retaliate against scientists for telling the truth in authoritarian regimes, not in democracies. They are risking disrupting vaccine development to protect the President's ego. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been fighting to pass a bipartisan law to ensure 911 dispatchers are able to access the assistance they deserve. Although McConnell has failed to bring it to a vote, I’m proud to see OR counties stepping up & taking care of these workers. Thank you. https://t.co/C5SeMNUyKP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today’s bill provides a critical stopgap for our small businesses and hospitals, but we cannot delay in providing further relief to American families. Congress must immediately get to work on a bill that addresses significant gaps in the response so far, including: https://t.co/xA0jFh0pZl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We all know the playbook by now. Whenever Trump wants to change the subject, he says something racist/draconian about immigration. He has failed the response to coronavirus & has no plan for testing/tracing. Americans know it, his poll numbers are falling—so voila, same old song. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Going back to business as usual without a strategy to contain the virus is DANGEROUS. Everyone wants to reopen, but the only way to do it safely is with a BIG, comprehensive strategy for testing & contact tracing. @realDonaldTrump, where is the plan?? https://t.co/sXszQRXpeS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Donald Trump just funneled HALF A BILLION DOLLARS OF TAXPAYER MONEY to political allies during an election year to pursue his No. 1 campaign pet project, but still doesn’t have a plan for nationwide coronavirus testing so we can end this crisis. https://t.co/xw0INdLrBj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is a huge problem for getting through the pandemic: The Admin doesn’t have their act together for testing and contact tracing, which is essential in tackling the public health challenge and reopening the economy. Big, big problem. Leadership is MIA. https://t.co/eQRvLejGaP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

None of this matters if there isn't a real plan for ramping up testing, and for extensive contact tracing. Where are those plans?? The guidelines to reopen are all well and good, but without testing and contact tracing, this isn't a plan, it's a wishlist. https://t.co/7KWNn5zEYi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

After thousands of Americans have died, and millions more lost their jobs, Trump risks delaying direct payments to families just so he can put his name on them. These checks aren’t a Trump Hotel—they’re vital assistance that needs to get to Americans ASAP. https://t.co/nB5oMPz3BR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Donald Trump is cutting funding to the only international agency charged with fighting global pandemics IN THE MIDDLE OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Only a president obsessed with shifting blame rather than solving problems would make this choice. https://t.co/UMVjc4e6My — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

There will never be a way to mitigate pandemics w/out coordinated global response. We don’t know when the next pandemic will strike or where, but we do know we're doomed to repeat this nightmare if we don’t build a global health system that can do better. https://t.co/YH0zsY4hn3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This isn't even a little bit true, and I have a copy of the Constitution to prove it. https://t.co/QQjyNjmQUl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

To America’s postal workers: Thank you for all that you’re doing to keep our communities connected and safe. Your service is critical to our daily lives, now more than ever, and your work allows others to stay home in our fight to end this pandemic. https://t.co/mQoViHKFCi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’m fighting alongside 830 organizations for a national moratorium on utility shut-offs. This MUST be part of next aid bill. Big thanks to @NAACP @MoveOn @IndivisibleTeam @SierraClub @sunrisemvmt @CWAUnion @CenterForBioDiv @foodandwater + many, many more. — PolitiTweet.org

To all those celebrating, may today bring light to hard and weary days. Wishing you a healthy and happy Easter, from my family to yours. https://t.co/wCoDAb6qgF — PolitiTweet.org

People helping people is how we will get through this. Always proud to be an Oregonian, but I’m especially proud when I see our state’s capacity for compassion and solidarity. Thank you @ChineseOregon and every community organization supporting our front lines. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I know lots of people are having trouble getting the unemployment benefits they're due. This is an unprecedented challenge, & it needs creative, unprecedented solutions from state unemployment offices. They've got to get those benefits to families in need! https://t.co/RckchXMy2E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Determining whether or not the assistance funded by Congress is "too generous" isn't the Secretary’s job. Rs & Ds came together to pass this unprecedented package to save American workers, businesses, & families, & now it's his job to get that $$$ out as fast as humanly possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our front line workers are heroes. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, and thank you to everyone supporting these workers’ efforts by staying home and minimizing the risk they have to face each day. https://t.co/9IkSI42Rg4 — PolitiTweet.org

KEEP IT UP: New cases in Oregon remain flat to declining with 49 new cases yesterday—but we need to get to zero. Do all you can to maintain or increase social distancing, folks! We can’t let up. https://t.co/rFmzEyZosf — PolitiTweet.org

FIRST Trump admin fails to develop & distribute tests. THEN they tell states to get their own supplies. THEN they start bidding wars against them. NOW they pull out of testing??? This is Trump-hosted amateur hour and it’s killing Americans. https://t.co/cLZnczA5qE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I am calling on @realDonaldTrump and @HHSgov to reopen the Affordable Care Act's marketplace so that uninsured or underinsured Americans can protect themselves in the face of this unprecedented public health crisis. Read the letter: https://t.co/J6EPM6vQos — PolitiTweet.org
