It’s been a long week. If you’re like a lot of Americans, a nice glass of wine could be in your future (I'd suggest an OR Pinot Noir—best Pinot on the planet!). But if we don’t tackle climate chaos, expect higher costs, reduced varietals, & even shortages. https://t.co/bVbQcjaxXt — PolitiTweet.org

Trump may stand with a dictator who shoots at protesters and puts millions in concentration camps, but most Americans and virtually every Member of Congress stand with people fighting for democracy and freedom. https://t.co/Qbw65vZiyf — PolitiTweet.org

I couldn’t agree more, @lisamurkowski. Women and girls are dying at staggering rates and Congress has moved far too slowly. We need to pass these efforts into law and get relief to indigenous communities across the country. Thank you for covering this crisis, @jbendery. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

With one voice, Republicans & Democrats in Congress have made clear we won't stand by as Hong Kong suppresses the human rights of its own citizens. @realdonaldtrump needs to sign this legislation into law, & he should do so proudly and in public to send a clear message to China. https://t.co/uFG3YQthlu — PolitiTweet.org

@BetsyDeVosED @SenatorDurbin @CongressmanRaja Together we’re trying to close a major loophole that allows for-profit colleges to take federal financial aid $ for programs that leave students deep in debt & unable to work in their field. These scams are hurting American families, and if the Trump admin won't step in, we will. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@BetsyDeVosED may be willing to do the bidding of for-profit colleges, but Congress needs to fight back on these predatory programs. That’s why I teamed up w/ @SenatorDurbin @CongressmanRaja to introduce the Protecting Students from Worthless Degrees Act. https://t.co/EzT1mZLaJv — PolitiTweet.org

Loved getting to fold a paper butterfly w/ @effectmigration—an incredible group of kids standing in solidarity w/ immigrant children in detention. “We chose butterflies b/c they symbolize that migration is beautiful, and b/c they are all different and beautiful in their own way.” https://t.co/jTXEL8m2zf — PolitiTweet.org

Grateful to see the House unanimously pass my bill to end the sale of US-made crowd control equipment to the Hong Kong police after Senate passage last night. Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for making human rights a bicameral priority and standing w/ pro-democracy protesters. https://t.co/u9qXmUVRuU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Day after day, we see peaceful protesters being subjected to state-sponsored oppression, violence, & human rights abuses for demonstrating in support of a democratic future. The US should never be complicit in police violence against pro-democracy protests https://t.co/rQmy9S9F5S — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today, the Senate sent a strong, bipartisan message that we will not tolerate Hong Kong’s abuse of pro-democracy protesters by passing mine and @JohnCornyn's bipartisan legislation to end exports of U.S.-made crowd control equipment to the Hong Kong Police Force. — PolitiTweet.org
