@AthleteAlly @mPinoe Thank you for your hard work fighting for the inclusion and protection of LGBTQ athletes. One of my team members will be reaching out. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

SCOTUS has once again violated the vision of our Constitution by allowing the powerful to rig elections. Between this, Citizens United, & the decision gutting Voting Rights Act, they’ve given GOP a judicially-blessed roadmap to undermine majority elections https://t.co/DpH9ykzGHw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Wilbur Ross lied to Congress about why the citizenship question was added to the 2020 Census, & now 3 federal trial judges & SCOTUS have upheld that view. Today’s decision is promising, but we haven’t won yet. I’ll be watching developments closely. https://t.co/YvPHtRORdD — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s SCOTUS decision is a blow to our constitutional vision of voters choosing their representatives instead of representatives choosing their voters. Partisan gerrymandering deeply biases Congress & state legislatures for the powerful over the People. — PolitiTweet.org

In case you’re interested @mPinoe, I’d also be happy to host you & the entire USWNT at the Capitol. Would love to talk equal pay & your work w/ @GLSEN + @athleteally. And we can always use more help building support for the #EqualityAct. Good luck Friday! https://t.co/xLQPgVVSHo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@USAChildCare just released a new #ChildCareCheckIn report, and it shows why we need to pass the Child Care for Working Families Act. Working parents shouldn’t have to pay a five-figure price tag for child care just so they can go to their job each day. https://t.co/B996vjMoGC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Why are Americans paying 3x, 4x, even 5x more for the same Rx drugs than people in other developed countries?! It’s outrageous and needs to stop. My #EndPriceGouging for Medications Act will stop this, and will prevent drug companies from charging Americans more. https://t.co/GAIBNx38Jy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Here’s who's at risk in OR if Texas v United States kills the ACA: • 150,000 ppl in the health care marketplace • 50,777 seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D • 1.7 million ppl w/ preexisting conditions, and • ~500,000 ppl who will be kicked off of OHP https://t.co/G9lOj7aEqo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

There is no moral code or religious tradition that enables us to mistreat children or use them as pawns in a political power play. Too many issues surrounding the care of children in US detainment remain unaddressed in the House and Senate bills, so I will be voting No on both. https://t.co/QuvLaR4LhS — PolitiTweet.org

This child neglect and endangerment is unacceptable. Children are sick, children are traumatized, and the conditions they’re being held in are inhumane. https://t.co/u26uh0zh6z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’m about to go on @AC360 with @andersoncooper. If you care about what’s been happening to innocent children at the border, you’re going to want to tune in. https://t.co/cybdsQzBPv — PolitiTweet.org

#NoUnauthorizedWars: Every member of Congress swore to uphold the Constitution & that means upholding Article 1, Section 8, which gives Congress the responsibility to declare–or not declare–war. We must pass @timkaine @senatortomudall amendment to stop an unauthorized war w/ Iran https://t.co/hYkZTTHTNv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Children are being held in appalling and unacceptable conditions. Detained children are being left to care for each other – including, in one case, a two-year-old who was left with no diapers. @DHSgov needs to tell us what their plan is to fix this, NOW. https://t.co/sTKb5VayxW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The bottom line is that @USChamber is failing its membership—and @GOP is failing the American people + businesses large & small, by continuing to carry water for organizations like the Chamber. Our economy needs a Congress that’s willing to make carbon pollution a priority. (End) https://t.co/aNcTwWPvAY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The list goes on and on and on. And it’s not just huge corporations that are feeling the effects of climate change. Small businesses all across the country are being impacted, without the millions of dollars of resources that large companies have to compensate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@Nike, which has made a commitment to 100% renewable electricity by 2025, has spoken out about the impact climate change-related flooding has had on its factories, and is concerned about rising prices due to threats to annual cotton harvests. https://t.co/r8mnJ8TX9m https://t.co/RITUpoyzgI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Water shortages and droughts are a common concern—and while Coke may be an obvious example, even companies like @intel are hurt by droughts, because their “semiconductor manufacturing process relies on access to water.” https://t.co/JhdPCuEHwq https://t.co/MxlIldL14I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

And @Visa has pointed to the coming increase of pandemics and armed conflict under climate chaos as a threat to their cross-border transactions and currency exchange activities, as people become more afraid to travel. https://t.co/JhdPCuEHwq https://t.co/uG2iPRUgmb — PolitiTweet.org

Record-breaking temperatures affect companies like @Disney, whose ability to attract visitors to their outdoor theme parks is impacted by extreme heat and cold. https://t.co/JhdPCuEHwq https://t.co/9SGJ1ykVJZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

According to @BankofAmerica, 4% of its real estate-secured loans in the U.S. are found in floodzones, which—with increased flooding—“could lead to our clients defaulting on mortgage payments.” https://t.co/JhdPCuEHwq https://t.co/vxzYOjtzsC — PolitiTweet.org
