.@realdonaldtrump may have backtracked his decision to award a massive government contract to his own business, but it’s still the height of corruption that he tried it in the first place. I’m fixing that problem here and now with the SWAMP Act: https://t.co/7tHZHicN4A — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It’s good that this time Trump is caving, but the fact that he and his enablers still think it’s ok for Trump to write himself a check with taxpayer money shows the depth of their corruption. https://t.co/DqRg6rg5kC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

So fed up w/ Trump’s appointees wasting tax payer dollars on stupid vanity projects—Carson’s $31k dining set, Pruitt’s $43k phone booth, Zinke’s $139k doors, & now Sondland’s $400k kitchen reno—while cutting education and health care funding. https://t.co/hT10RCo75m — PolitiTweet.org

I always love arriving in Medford at the airport and seeing these solar panels. Canopies over the entire parking lot. Every parking lot in the country should look like this. https://t.co/QVwFELgbA5 — PolitiTweet.org

This is fascinating. 8% of the human genome is made up of viruses left over from ancient infections. Come for the pictures of koala bears, stay for the incredible read on scientific research. https://t.co/4fEB7hHynM — PolitiTweet.org

Bottom line – workers deserve a fair share of the wealth they help to create. This is only possible by standing together and supporting union organizers and labor, which I will always do. https://t.co/EzgAtc3XbK — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, Trump said the atrocities committed against the Kurds have “nothing to do with us.” That’s an absurd lie. We recruited them as allies, they risked their lives to fight ISIS w/ us, & he left them at the mercy of Syrian govt. & Turkish forces. https://t.co/PCoFoEO1lr — PolitiTweet.org

This G-7 announcement is corrupt. It's a violation of the Constitution. It's an abuse of power. And Congress can shut it down. I'm introducing a bill first thing next week to stop this corruption in it's tracks. More to come... — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Trump’s determination to enrich himself, by booking the G-7 at his resort, is the type of self-dealing the founders’ emolument clause in our Constitution forbids. This is wrong on every level. Congress must not let this stand. — PolitiTweet.org

@funder I really appreciate that Scott, and I'm so grateful for your and Peter's work to #ProtectOurCare. We will keep fighting to increase access and decrease costs for all Americans. Thanks for coming in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Putting my shoe game to shame, Peter! Thanks to you (and your Converse) for talking ACA and #ProtectOurCare with me and my team this morning. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Sad news today for Maryland, Congress, and the country. Congressman Cummings fought for justice, equality, and accountability, and we are all better for his life of public service. I will miss his voice and his light in the halls of Congress. https://t.co/u9dv9n1xwo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This statement from the Shephard family is brilliantly & heartbreakingly on-point. This administration pursues ugly, hateful policies behind closed doors, while saying empty words to cover their tracks. “Either you believe in equality for all or you don’t.” I couldn’t agree more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

No wonder world leaders don’t respect this President. Surreal. Embarrassing. Alarming. https://t.co/XtqbKADzHY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Trump is rolling out a red carpet for ISIS’s return and endangering our allies, servicemen & women, and national security in the process. Countless lives will be lost because of the bumbling, ignorant, & self-serving foreign policy of this president. https://t.co/Jhu7c8jztv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I firmly believe we must end America’s unauthorized wars, but that’s not what Trump has done. He’s playing a shell game with our troops, and abandoned our Kurdish allies—to horrific consequences—in our fight against ISIS. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Read this open-letter from @world_wildlife @nature_org @UCSUSA + others demanding leadership from American companies with the power and influence to shift the conversation and meaningfully fight climate change. This is our moment of truth. https://t.co/Fcd3LTPkIw — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 40,000 Americans die from asbestos-related illnesses each year. Until Congress passes the Alan Reinstein Ban Asbestos Now Act, we won’t be able to bring that death toll down. Proud to be leading this fight with @RepBonamici & @Linda_ADAO. https://t.co/Mgi959toK2 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s way past time for every Senator to declare whether they support freedom, opportunity, and equality; or whether they are entrenched in sustaining discrimination and prejudice. https://t.co/7DFlaRDzx2 — PolitiTweet.org

Under McAleenan, cruel & dangerous policies targeting children & families fleeing persecution have expanded further than ever. I wish we could view this moment as the turning of a new leaf. But I have little hope that will come from anyone who would accept Trump’s nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Make no mistake – these changes are not to “simplify” the Volcker Rule. This is a handout to the Big Banks that threatened our economy in the past. If a revived Wall Street casino brings down the economy again, we’ll know where the seeds were sown. https://t.co/JAimHBr6dy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The President’s decision to reject all cooperation with the impeachment inquiry is a complete violation of our constitutional system of checks and balances. This is a dangerous step toward authoritarianism & away from the principle that in America, no one is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Arbitrary imprisonment. Torture. Forced re-education camps. Systematic religious & cultural repression. These are the human rights abuses being forced on China’s Uyghurs & other Muslims. I’ve pushed the State Dept to push back & I’m glad they’re starting to follow through. — PolitiTweet.org
