We need to #BreakFreeFromPlastic to protect our health and planet—that means a national bottle bill and holding accountable corporations who create the majority of waste. Last week, I held a subcommittee hearing on the impact of plastic—I’ll keep pushing to address this crisis. https://t.co/kiqhyqNkni — PolitiTweet.org

I won't stop pushing to pass the SAFE Banking Act. We pursued every legislative avenue possible this year, and our bipartisan coalition is closer than ever before to getting this to the finish line. Cannabis businesses can’t wait—we must pass it in 2023. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

For those who lost loved ones in dispensary robberies, for legal cannabis businesses who can't access the financial services they need, for communities where cannabis is legal, we can't let politics block meaningful, commonsense public safety and cannabis legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We have a bipartisan agreement which includes tweaks to SAFE Banking and important expungement and second amendment rights provisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We should have been able to pass the SAFE Banking Act this Congress. While Minority Leader McConnell’s opposition stood in the way of passage, we’ve made so much progress on forging bipartisan consensus. We have a path forward in 2023, and I won’t rest until we get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’m speaking on the Senate floor right now about the urgent need to protect the freedom of every American to cast their vote and have a voice in the big decisions that impact their lives. https://t.co/23Ay8LRq3d — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Important item out of the @EPWCmte hearing I led last week: let’s get a national bottle bill passed! It’s working in Oregon, and it can work around the country. I will keep pushing for this in the next Congress! https://t.co/pmVrDRItoB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

‼️ @chopracfpb ordered @WellsFargo to pay $3.7 billion for abusing millions of its customers—thousands lost their vehicles and homes. Billions are headed to those harmed by Wells Fargo’s predatory practices—a big win for consumers! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

If there’s ever an important use for electric vehicles, it’s vehicles like mail trucks, that start and stop every house. Glad to see @USPS take action I’ve been pushing for to replace gas-guzzling mail trucks (seriously, they get 8.2 MPG). https://t.co/PuufcXVzF9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Huge thanks to @AFLCIO, @SEIU, and all the union members who called for this funding and fought to make it happen! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Funding for @NLRB means funding to protect workers. Everyone should be able to organize their workplace and demand fair treatment and pay—the NLRB makes that possible. I pushed to get this funding included and I’ll fight to get it over the finish line and to @POTUS’s desk! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I worked with @SenatorLeahy and @SenToddYoung to introduce a bill supporting the resolution of the ongoing conflict between Tibet and China and recognizing the Tibetan people’s right to self-determination. https://t.co/ij3RNIgd10 — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. can move aggressively and boldly to protect our communities, families, and economies. Vehicle emissions contribute greatly to climate chaos—it’s critical that we curb transportation pollution. https://t.co/O3Ht8GC8Di — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Advance appropriations for the Indian Health Service is included in the 2023 omnibus bill! I fought to include this to make sure health care for tribal patients is never interrupted. #AdvanceIndianHealth https://t.co/lQmXGiWdAO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Thank you to the @January6thCmte members and staff who took on this immense workload and who worked around the clock and across party lines in the tireless pursuit of justice and accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

January 6th is a day that will live in infamy—the pain of which still lingers for so many. Everyone responsible for planning, organizing, and supporting the attempted coup must be held accountable, and I’m glad to see another move in that direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

BIG: the @January6thCmte just referred Donald Trump to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution, following his incitement of the violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. https://t.co/SyegxT22mX — PolitiTweet.org

Expanding fossil gas production locks in more pollution and worsens climate chaos. @RonWyden and I urge @FERC to deny approval of the proposed expansion of the GTN Xpress pipeline to protect our planet, health, and future. https://t.co/SRxceoLJtl — PolitiTweet.org

Houses in our communities should be places for people to call home—not cash cows for huge corporations! https://t.co/9aZqNtBPsM — PolitiTweet.org

FIFA is sending a message that LGBTQ+ people and their allies aren’t welcome at the World Cup—contrary to the public statements they’ve made about the tournament. @RepMarkPocan, @RepMarkTakano, @RepRitchie and I are pressing for answers. https://t.co/KVxGkdlCYQ — PolitiTweet.org

@Delta D. Passage of the PUMP Act so that no employer can tell their employees to stop nursing!   STOP blocking it, @Delta! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

🦋 Good news for our pollinators: @USFWS is launching a Center for Pollinator Conservation! I’ve worked with @Interior to make this happen—excited to see this dedicated resource to protect pollinators become reality! https://t.co/OEa9FVH2o2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

In Oregon and in every corner of the country, giant financial corporations are buying up available housing—driving rent and purchase prices WAY UP. Who can compete with all-cash offers from billionaires? Hedge funds shouldn’t be able to own homes. https://t.co/ZTMyFTYgjE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

With the passage of the PACT Act, we’re one step closer to making sure veterans suffering from toxic exposures get the health care they need and the benefits they earned. Learn more about the PACT Act and your @DeptVetAffairs benefits ⬇️ https://t.co/XQz7D3Ol8P — PolitiTweet.org
