Oregon has a world-class agriculture sector. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I pushed for major investments in Oregon’s farmers, ranchers, and producers—support that will help this critical part of our communities and our economy continue to grow and thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This U.N. Security Council Resolution is an important first step that underscores the increasing isolation of the Burmese regime. More must be done to hold this brutal regime accountable—including an arms embargo and sanctions on industries that enrich the regime. — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: The Senate just voted to pass the PUMP Act! Everyone should have the space and privacy to pump at work, and no one should be forced by their employer to stop nursing. This is a win that’s been years in the making! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This week, I spoke on the Senate floor about the urgent need to protect the freedom of every American to cast their ballot. I won’t stop fighting to end partisan gerrymandering, get dark money out of our elections, and protect access to the ballot box for every American! https://t.co/OkVzVl7M6W — PolitiTweet.org

This month, I worked to pass a provision to ensure @USTreasury and @StateDept coordinate with humanitarian actors to make sure that humanitarian aid reaches those in need, and am so glad to see this step taken to build on these efforts in the next year! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

At a time when humanitarian needs are skyrocketing, these general licenses are absolutely critical to making sure we can deliver aid to those in need around the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Incredible moment: @ZelenskyyUa addressed Congress on his first trip outside Ukraine since the Russian invasion. Ukrainians have shown unfathomable courage as they battle for freedom. The U.S. must continue humanitarian and military aid and encourage other nations to do the same. https://t.co/mEOd9IWleE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I worked with @RonWyden and members of Oregon’s House of Representatives delegation to secure funding for ✨145✨ homegrown projects in this funding bill. Take a look at these projects from every corner of our state ⬇️ https://t.co/YarL618eC1 — PolitiTweet.org

No one knows the needs of Oregon's communities better than folks who live and work here. I joined the Appropriations Committee to ensure Oregon has a strong voice in decisions about the investments we make as a country—community-initiated projects are a great example of that! — PolitiTweet.org

I’m thinking of my House partner on the Rural Health Equity Act, Rep. McEachin, who passed away last month. I’m determined to get this to the finish line and cement another piece of his lasting legacy of ensuring every member of our communities can access the resources they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

BIG WIN in the omnibus: funding to establish an Office of Rural Health through the CDC. I’ve been pushing for this with my Rural Health Equity Act, and I’m thrilled that we’re taking the next step toward making this crucial health resource a reality for our rural communities. — PolitiTweet.org
