Children are being abused on our behalf, in our names. If we don’t like it, we must speak up and demand change. Thank you to everyone fighting to treat children with decency and dignity. https://t.co/yQgZm9PRrv — PolitiTweet.org

@Morning_Joe @tombrokaw “It’s the good people who don’t do anything that cause misery & harm,” Mitzi points out. “Don’t just sit there & say nothing or do nothing.” Read about Mitzi’s experience as a child in a US internment camp in this @MailTribune op-ed: https://t.co/hQ5rMHUPsF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Wonderful piece on @Morning_Joe today feat. @tombrokaw & Mitzi Asai Loftus, an Oregon woman who was detained as a child by the U.S. government during WWII because of fear, bigotry, and – as former Senator Simpson so perfectly puts it – corrosive hate.

AG Barr has announced that a gang’s threat to torture or kill you or your family doesn’t constitute a foundation for seeking asylum. Trump’s determination to slam the door on refugees w/ a credible threat on their lives violates our moral responsibility. https://t.co/eJlynByye5 — PolitiTweet.org

.@RonWyden is my weekend hero on the border. These visits are important. You meet real people, you see the crisis they’re in, and you help. Sometimes that’s fixing broken laws, sometimes that’s showing up in line and making sure a voice is heard. https://t.co/1VSTmAb7LY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This piece by @SLNazario is a must-read. You want to know why people are fleeing to the US w/ their children, risking death to reach American soil? It’s all in here. We need to be more involved in the world, not less, if we want to curb the refugee crisis. https://t.co/4pW7nFXEkc — PolitiTweet.org

A purrfect visit. Inhumane treatment of animals takes a lot of forms which means we still have plenty of work ahead. Grateful to advocates like @whitecoatwaste @kittenxlady w/out whom none of this would be possible, & bi(PAW)tisan allies like @RepBrianMast https://t.co/tJwQzRpRfA — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenSchumer and I have a commonsense solution to ensure children are treated with dignity and respect—and the @washingtonpost agrees. Surely it is not beyond the capacity of the U.S. Senate to get this done. We should have 100 Senators on this bill. https://t.co/jHgFzps51P — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Imagine ripping a child away from their mother, their father, their grandparent – and not even giving them a chance to say goodbye. This is cruelty for cruelty’s sake, and there is simply no justification. https://t.co/h89hEehPec — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Thank you @RepGraceMeng for championing this bill in the House. It’s critical that we pass the “Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act” through Congress so that the systematic abuse of children by our government ends. — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: Our government’s current banking restrictions on the cannabis industry are good for criminals and bad for our communities, and regularly put workers in harm’s way.

It wasn't even 2 years ago that Donald Trump gave $2 trillion to the wealthiest individuals and most powerful corporations in this country—and now he’s telling Americans that we’re going to take food out of children’s mouths to pay for it? Absolutely not. https://t.co/WK9G9tBQXE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

DOJ is run by an Attorney General that has dedicated himself to preventing Donald Trump from being held accountable to the law. That's why there's no other choice but for the House to act on impeachment proceedings. https://t.co/p6rGYY9mMR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Trump's own intelligence officials are sounding the alarm on 2020 election interference, but @SenateMajLdr refuses to act. Why?

The undisputed truth: Russia attacked our democracy, Trump’s campaign welcomed the help, and then the President pushed his team to impede the investigation. Any other American would be indicted for that kind of behavior. #MuellerHearing #EqualJusticeUnderLaw — PolitiTweet.org
