You can kill a lot of people in a minute with semi-automatic assault rifles and extended magazines. @realDonaldTrump, @SrnMajLdr: Quit blaming false factors like games and mental illness. Hold a real debate, and quit sacrificing lives at the alter of the NRA. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
American mass shootings are off the chart. Because we have more mental illness than other countries? No. More poverty? No. More violent video games? No. It is one factor: dramatically higher number of guns on the street. https://t.co/48MPa0yhTW — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
.@Senatemajldr and @realDonaldTrump: Stop cowering to the NRA. It is past time for a full debate on the Senate floor on every idea that can help reduce these massacres. — PolitiTweet.org

Two mass shootings in 24 hours. In Dayton, 9 people killed and dozens injured in under a minute. Nearly 30 people dead on American soil because shooters were able to use weapons of war. — PolitiTweet.org

I know America can treat every person — and certainly every child — with dignity and respect, and I won’t stop fighting until we do.

My heart is with everyone affected by this tragedy today. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Another day, another mass shooting in America. This time, El Paso is reeling from the terror of a heinous crime. This is tragic and it will happen again and again until we come to our senses and do something real about gun violence in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, twelve U.S. Senators voted to lock up innocent children in internment camps. This is an unconscionable and immoral position. No nation, especially not one built on freedom and equality, should ever traumatize children to make a political point. https://t.co/Ux6yAhidfj — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
The internment camps America operated during World War II are one of the darkest chapters of our history. We should be determined to learn from the painful episodes of our past—not to repeat them. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
This morning, Republicans in the Senate Judiciary Committee used underhanded means to pass a bill that allows the govt to imprison migrant children in internment camps for up to 100 days. This is a deeply shameful moment for our nation. https://t.co/2aIotW5GQJ — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Every generation has the chance at redemption, to decide whether those words – Never Again – will have meaning. So today I ask you: will they? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
We say, “Never again,” but history has proven those words to be hollow and fickle. At this very moment, our government is dehumanizing and mistreating refugee children and families fleeing horrific violence and persecution. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
We ignored pleas of help from Jewish refugees during World War II, in part because of hyped up fears that in their midst would be Nazi spies, and as a result, many of them suffered and died at the hands of Adolf Hitler. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
There are consequences to cruelty. There are consequences to dehumanization. There are consequences to institutionalized hatred and bigotry. There are consequences to ignoring the desperate pleas of children and families. Anne Frank was one of 11 million consequences. https://t.co/iwq3dgkYHU — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
---- This is the last thing Anne Frank ever wrote in her diary, seventy-five years ago today. Three days later, her family would be betrayed and captured by uniformed police. Eight months after that, she would be dead. — PolitiTweet.org

I get cross, then sad, and finally end up turning my heart inside out, the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I’d like to be and what I could be if… if only there were no other people in the world. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
stuff me with aspirins and sedatives, feel my neck and forehead to see if I have a temperature, ask about my bowel movements and berate me for being in a bad mood, until I just can’t keep it up anymore, because when everybody starts hovering over me, — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Believe me, I’d like to listen, but it doesn’t work, because if I’m quiet and serious, everyone thinks I’m putting on a new act and I have to save myself with a joke, and then I’m not even talking about my own family, who assume I must be sick, — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
A voice within me is sobbing, “You see, that’s what’s become of you. You’re surrounded by negative opinions, dismayed looks and mocking faces, people, who dislike you, and all because you don’t listen to the advice of your own better half.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
If I’m being completely honest, I’ll have to admit that it does matter to me, that I’m trying very hard to change myself, but that I’m always up against a more powerful enemy. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
The happy-go-lucky Anne laughs, gives a flippant reply, shrugs her shoulders and pretends she doesn’t give a darn. The quiet Anne reacts in just the opposite way. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
As I’ve told you, what I say is not what I feel, which is why I have a reputation for being boy-crazy as well as a flirt, a smart aleck and a reader of romances. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
I’m guided by the pure Anne within, but on the outside I’m nothing but a frolicsome little goat tugging at its tether. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
But unfortunately I’m only like that with myself. And perhaps that’s why-no, I’m sure that’s the reason why I think of myself as happy on the inside and other people think I’m happy on the outside. — PolitiTweet.org
