The green bag program in Oregon is incredible! It enables people to recycle in an efficient and effective system with funds automatically flowing into your bank account, including children’s college savings account. No fuss, no need to stand in line! Really awesome system. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Oregon is setting the mark! We’ve been the national leader in recycling since 1971 and have one of the highest bottle return rates in America. I learned about their great innovations at the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative in Clackamas earlier this month. https://t.co/4G5jhEAo9r — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to have been named a Humane Champion this year by the Humane Society! And clearly, the newest addition to the Merkley family, Lila, is pretty “yappy” about it too! 🐾 https://t.co/Q8zNiBqd7t — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We took huge steps to boost U.S. manufacturing—passing the CHIPS Act to bring the semiconductor supply chain back onshore and the Inflation Reduction Act’s incentives to build our clean energy future in the U.S. This is how we revitalize the middle class: build stuff in America! — PolitiTweet.org

My heart is with the loved ones of Gerardo Rincon, an Oregon wildland firefighter who died while fighting the Moose Fire in Idaho. We owe Gerardo and all firefighters a great debt for their commitment to do the dangerous work of fighting fires to keep our communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It’s #NationalPublicLandsDay! In my role leading the Senate Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, I’ll keep working to make sure we have the funding we need to protect Oregon’s breathtaking public lands for years to come. https://t.co/R4Aabu3ppL — PolitiTweet.org

David Malpass used the “I’m not a scientist" line to avoiding saying fossil fuels are fueling the climate crisis, a tactic used by Amy Coney Barrett. Malpass shouldn’t be running the World Bank. World Bank should never fund another fossil fuel project. https://t.co/UbEOb4yc1h — PolitiTweet.org

Estuaries like the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve in Oregon support critical habitats for mammals and marine life. I’ll keep working to protect them! https://t.co/xPCQE3EifH — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbreaking and preventable. Without oversight, congregate care often becomes congregate abuse. I’m working to make sure there is adequate oversight and accountability—as this tragedy shows, we need to better protect our kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Trump claims that he declassified the documents—so why won’t his lawyer make the same claim in court? One guess: disbarment. https://t.co/HaIPwblEOX — PolitiTweet.org

Oregon’s vote by mail system is working! A huge part of protecting the freedom of every American to vote is providing secure and simple ways for folks to vote on their own time—we should expand this system nationwide. https://t.co/OZ7m4eG8uN — PolitiTweet.org

This brochure is full of false promises—and luring folks across state lines under the guise of job opportunities and assistance is just plain immoral. https://t.co/0HZUwuxJ6n — PolitiTweet.org

Isn’t this kidnapping? Luring people into a transport with false promises and taking them to a different destination than stated? https://t.co/iWJrEYIQuS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

A staggering and sickening abuse of power and of the trust of fellow human beings by Ron DeSantis. We need a full and transparent investigation. https://t.co/b5brGEh9vN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is a critical issue that deserves careful analysis, deliberation, and robust floor debate—separate from the urgent need to see that the government stays open. https://t.co/hogDzTaHEF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Changes to the permitting process should strengthen—not steamroll—public participation. I share the concerns of environmental justice advocates that expediting fossil fuel permitting will further harm the health of frontline communities already overburdened by pollution. https://t.co/OuawGbscVq — PolitiTweet.org

BIG: The Senate ratified the Kigali Amendment to join 137 other countries to curb a potent class of greenhouse gases—a win for our planet, businesses, and workers. This is a huge step toward phasing down these dangerous chemicals and protecting our health and environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It doesn’t have to be this way. I’ll keep fighting to reform the “filibuster” and get this body back in working order to make progress on the DISCLOSE Act and make sure the voice of the people is heard and acted on! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The DISCLOSE Act joins the long list of legislation Republicans have blocked from even being considered by the so-called filibuster (actually a 60-vote supermajority requirement to proceed) and the poisonous partisanship that’s engulfed the Senate. https://t.co/S2N5tcVzZ6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our elections should be decided by the will of the American people—not influenced by powerful special interests. The DISCLOSE Act would make sure Americans know who and what is behind dark money in our campaigns. — PolitiTweet.org
