We cannot be silent and we cannot be complacent. @realdonaldtrump is hiring sycophants and racists in his war against migrant families fleeing persecution. We cannot let him win. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is absurd and outrageous – @realdonaldtrump’s new DHS Immigration Czar Ken Cuccinelli once compared immigrants to rats, and lamented not being able to kill rat families in the same sentence. He doesn’t deserve a taxpayer-funded salary. https://t.co/L0dHt8KFtW — PolitiTweet.org

The rights of more than 700,000 Americans are being denied. D.C. residents pay taxes. D.C. residents serve and die in our military. And D.C. residents live and breathe at the whims of a Congress they have no vote in. It’s time for that to change. https://t.co/6rFhzWdu1T — PolitiTweet.org

I’m always impressed by the hard work of my team, but on #NationalRescueDogDay, I want to give a special shoutout to some of our four-legged teammates who love to greet Oregonians at our in-state and DC offices. 📸: Liz Lemon, Bocce, and Juneau https://t.co/1ogHihEbAt — PolitiTweet.org

Thankfully, Oregon is meeting the challenge head-on through a collaborative effort called the @OregonBeeProj. You can learn more about their work, and ways to protect bees in your community, at https://t.co/qTkui3okMH. #worldbeeday 🐝 https://t.co/t4f1KAO2gL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Pollinators are responsible for 1 of 3 bites of food we eat, and farmers rely on commercial honey bees & 4,000+ species of wild pollinating insects for their crops. If we don't enact policies to protect bees, our ag industry will be decimated. #worldbeeday https://t.co/ukmQXrMlfR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Tonight, Mitch McConnell continues his destruction of Senate procedure and precedent by moving forward w/ Daniel Collins, @realdonaldtrump’s nominee to the 9th Circuit, over the express objections of CA’s home state senators, @SenFeinstein @SenKamalaHarris. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is another dark and evil policy strategy from Trump. Please RT to educate America. We must not let this happen. ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Read this op-ed from @ahouseelpaso’s @taylorklevy. This policy should be called “Choose Your Trauma” – forcing a parent to choose which horrific pain to inflict on their child: devastating separation or trauma-inducing imprisonment. https://t.co/F7YEtNRGQ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I want to see specific plans from the administration to provide a real medical check on any migrant child within an hour of them coming into our custody. We need urgency and we need answers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Last week it was a 2-year-old. Today it’s a 16-year-old. All told, five migrant children, detained and held by our government, have died on our watch. https://t.co/qgjr01bzp3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As America sits down one last time to watch power-hungry leaders use innocent lives as pawns in their political games, a reminder that @realdonaldtrump is still trying to lock up thousands of kids in family internment camps. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The callousness, incompetence, & sheer cruelty of this administration know no bounds—and THOUSANDS of children are paying the price. Grateful to reporters like @jacobsoboroff & @juliaeainsley for refusing to let this ongoing crisis be forgotten or ignored https://t.co/SM3l3Vo48m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

After a devastating civil war & decades of war crimes, the Sudanese people demanded a government that represents them. We must support their call for democratic change and accountability, and ensure power is handed over to a civilian-led government without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

HUGE first half. Let’s keep it up in the second! 🙏🙌 #RipCity!! — PolitiTweet.org

My heart is with Parkrose and all of Portland. I am pained to think about the terror our students endured, and I can’t thank @KeanonLowe enough for his bravery. We CANNOT KEEP DOING THIS. We MUST take action. Yet again, #enoughisenough. https://t.co/zD0Qmknv5L — PolitiTweet.org

I’m told the correct caption here is: “current mood.” Enjoy this win and your weekend, everyone – the fight for Senate passage starts Monday. #EqualityAct https://t.co/bL3qqRob9A — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

@PiperPerabo @cmclymer @senatemajldr Charlotte and Piper, I’m going to do everything I can to make that happen, you have my word. We already have one R onboard in the Senate. Now we need to all put pressure on the rest of their caucus to force a vote. Any Senator who isn’t for this is on the wrong side of history. — PolitiTweet.org

Two facts: First: America has gotten uglier these past two years with Trump dishing out heaping portions of hate and bigotry and racism and division. (1/3) — PolitiTweet.org
