In the “old days,” accepting help from an American adversary to win an election was unthinkable. PS. Leaders are “immune from criticism” in authoritarian countries, not America. Oh, and the economy may be great for billionaires, but have you talked to an actual worker recently? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The idea of incarcerating children at Guantánamo should send chills down the spine of anyone with a conscience. This is what happens when our President is so racist that he sees migrant children as an “invasion” and not vulnerable children to be protected. https://t.co/yNedksRN8m — PolitiTweet.org

How did Trump win over the big donors? He raided the federal budget to give the richest Americans a handout they didn’t need, and put their interests over those of everyday Americans. https://t.co/ODa5KZTtc0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Convoluted Trumpian Obstruction: The Executive Branch uses the Judicial Branch to stop the Legislative Branch from exercising oversight on Executive Branch conflicts of interests by acquiring a document that other presidents release proactively. He must have a lot to hide. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s #EarthDay. We have a beautiful planet & we have duty to preserve it for the next generation. Let’s tackle climate chaos & meet our duty. https://t.co/Bh4XhrGymt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This isn’t just the story of a single corporate shill dismembering a single agency to allow predatory lenders free rein. It’s emblematic of an entire administration systematically working to harm ordinary Americans on behalf of powerful industries. https://t.co/2rS7h25uPs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Climate chaos is ravaging our environment, health & economy. This #EarthDay2019, let’s pledge to double-down on our efforts to take action—from using renewable energy at home to pushing for a #GreenNewDeal in Congress, we can help save our precious planet. https://t.co/jRkvhtGWcL — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of interesting stuff in the WA bill, but one really intriguing piece is creative steps to make sure clean energy jobs are union-friendly, high-wage jobs you can raise a family on. I’ll be unveiling federal legislation to advance clean energy labor standards soon. Stay tuned! — PolitiTweet.org

If the Trump Admin cares about stability in the Middle East, economic development in the Palestinian territories, or basic human decency, it should be restoring bilateral aid through NGOs in the West Bank and Gaza. This is 180 degrees the wrong direction. https://t.co/PvgJsuLvka — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We are all still making our way through the #MuellerReport, but it’s already clear that it paints a very detailed and disturbing portrait of a President utterly obsessed with executing a massive cover-up. Why was Donald Trump so terrified that people might learn the truth? https://t.co/K5Hothgv9Y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

AG Bill Barr’s press conference this morning was an embarrassment for our nation and his office: more political spin than legal briefing. Watch out @PressSec, looks like you have some competition for your job! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

So much for the independence of the DOJ. AG Barr is so deep in Trump’s pocket he’ll probably show up at the presser tomorrow with lint in his hair. https://t.co/0rDdU5Vm49 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is one more effort to make people suffer as part of Trump’s suffering = deterrence strategy. And it may well be a prelude to the reported Choose Your Trauma policy—forcing families to choose between imprisoning their children or being ripped apart. — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump likes to talk about 9/11. Let’s remember the 9/11 attackers were mostly from Saudi Arabia. And Saudi Arabia funds madrassas, some of which function as terrorist training camps around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Saudi Arabia is bombing the hell out of civilian sites in Yemen, killing thousands, creating a massive cholera epidemic, & producing starvation that is killing more than 100 kids per day. Why does Trump pander to Saudi Arabia like a puppy on its back wanting its belly scratched? — PolitiTweet.org

This is not the vision of a ‘We The People’ democracy like our Founders intended. When the American people stand up for their rights and their wellbeing, their leaders should listen. https://t.co/JrhSieCTSp — PolitiTweet.org

The @PulitzerPrizes sent a powerful message this week, recognizing imprisoned @Reuters reporters Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo for journalism exposing the Rohingya genocide. Aung San Suu Kyi: Stop trying to hide the truth, and release these brave reporters. https://t.co/f8DwLE8nrF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Sure, Sarah. Keep thinking of absurd reasons not to release Trump’s taxes, like arguing congressional experts wouldn’t understand them. We all know the real reason: The President’s abject terror about the American people seeing them. https://t.co/2QptOkpMtS — PolitiTweet.org

This is beyond reprehensible, but not surprising. This is why I introduced the No Internment Camps Act—because shamefully, we need to legislate basic humanity in America as long as this administration is in power. https://t.co/JAp3oupmHn — PolitiTweet.org
