My heart is with the Bob Stacey’s loved ones following his passing. Bob was a devoted public servant, fierce champion for protecting Oregon’s iconic landscape, and a friend to many. His loss will be felt in Oregon, but his legacy of land use advocacy leaves a lasting impact. — PolitiTweet.org

Wildfire risk will be high in Oregon over the next few days. Below is a thread of public safety information and local resources. If you have other resources, please add them as a reply. This thread will continue to be updated as more information and resources are available. — PolitiTweet.org

Protecting the voice of the American people means getting dark money OUT of our elections. Dark money plagues our politics. The solution? Pass the DISCLOSE Act and require all campaign spending to be 100% transparent. — PolitiTweet.org

Climate chaos isn’t some far off threat. It’s here, and it’s impacting communities in Oregon and across the West right now with extreme heat and wildfire. I will keep fighting for the bold climate action we need to protect our health, planet, and future. https://t.co/eVJXe9GsBJ — PolitiTweet.org

The settlement is a good step, but it’s outrageous that FDA folded and allowed vaping products that do enormous damage back on the market only two weeks after banning them in June. We must continue that fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Working mothers make far less than working fathers in America—moms make an average of 58 cents for every dollar earned by dads. That’s just plain wrong—I’ll keep working to pass policies like the Paycheck Fairness Act to close the wage gap. #MomsEqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Natalie Wight, who was just confirmed as Oregon’s U.S. Attorney! Natalie—I look forward to following your tenure. — PolitiTweet.org

Making sure everyone has access to preventative care is a key component of making our health care system work better for people. That’s why @SenTinaSmith and I are leading the charge to ensure PrEP is available to patients without out-of-pocket costs. https://t.co/oPkx5TgkcY — PolitiTweet.org

For 70 years, Queen Elizabeth has embodied the best dreams and hopes of her country. The loss of her bright light is a source of grief and sadness not just in the UK, but around the world. Our thoughts are with the people of the United Kingdom in this dark moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The impact of wildfires lingers long after the blazes are extinguished, and we need to do more to support our communities after wildfires.

Two years ago, the Labor Day Fires devastated Oregon—entire communities burned to the ground. Today and every day we remember the firefighters who laid their lives on the line to protect communities, residents killed during the fire, and those still rebuilding. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Oregon’s firefighters work tirelessly, risking their lives to keep our homes and communities safe. @RonWyden and I secured critical funding to make sure local fire districts in Coos Bay, Siletz, and Sheridan have the resources they need. https://t.co/w4Fuxw8KEx — PolitiTweet.org

Wildfires and the hazardous smoke they spew pose dangers to Oregonians long after the blazes are extinguished. Today, @epwcmte held a hearing on two of my bills to invest in resources to reduce the harmful effects of wildfire smoke. https://t.co/iiu0xuiEWO — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS is right—climate chaos is an emergency. That’s why I’m urging him to use the National Emergency Act to declare a national climate emergency so we can take action on climate NOW with the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

If a billionaire or billionaire corporation spends millions in support of a campaign, they don't have to disclose their contribution. That’s just plain wrong. We need the DISCLOSE Act to root out dark money from our elections so the voices of the American people can be heard. — PolitiTweet.org

I teamed up with @RepNikema to introduce the Abolition Amendment and end all forms of slavery in the U.S. The 13th Amendment outlaws slavery—except as "punishment for crime." As we celebrate Labor Day this year, let’s renew our commitment to #EndTheException. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our work for working America remains unfinished. We need to pass the #PROAct to make it easier to unionize, guarantee paid leave, raise the minimum wage, and pursue policies that support working families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This Labor Day, I’m thankful for trailblazers of the labor movement who fought to secure protections that benefit all of us. I’m grateful for essential workers who work tirelessly to support our communities, and who too often face unsafe working conditions and unfair pay. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to pass the DISCLOSE Act to shine a light on every dollar funding American campaigns and where it's coming from. Politicians should be elected by the people—not secretly influenced by the powerful and privileged. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Inflation Reduction Act was the largest action we’ve taken on climate since the Clean Air Act—but it’s the beginning, not the end of our climate action. @POTUS should declare a climate emergency to unlock the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. — PolitiTweet.org
