Striking quote from this article: “Here are seniors in their golden years and the only people seeing gold are the pharmaceutical companies.” We’ve got a ways to go until everyone has access to affordable Rx drugs, but we just took an important step forward.https://t.co/L1hzwlW1D0 — PolitiTweet.org

Since the disastrous Citizens United decision, the privileged and powerful have poured billions of dark money into our elections. @SenWhitehouse and I are fighting to pass the DISCLOSE Act so secretive groups can no longer influence our elections from the shadows. — PolitiTweet.org

I worked with @RonWyden to secure funding to support Oregonians across our state as we continue to recover from COVID-19 and extreme wildfire events and ensure state and local first responders are prepared to protect folks whenever emergency strikes. https://t.co/5otd8rmlPb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

For anyone who's hiked sections of the Pacific Crest Trail like I have, this is a heartbreaking read. Climate chaos is reshaping our world—more dangerous wildfires, extreme heat, drought. This is a red alert. I won’t stop fighting for bold climate action. https://t.co/Czlkd4UmLm — PolitiTweet.org

Free tests are going away because a minority in the Senate keeps blocking the COVID-19 funding package. I’m going to continue working to pass this critical funding for communities across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

The talking filibuster encourages bipartisan compromise and will allow the Senate to make progress for the American people. It gives the minority a voice, but not a veto. I’ve been working to restore the talking filibuster and get our Senate back to working order. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

In the U.S., mass shootings make headlines every week and active shooter drills are the norm. This is NOT normal. I won’t let up pushing to improve background checks, ban military-style assault weapons, and hold gun manufacturers liable when their negligence is deadly. — PolitiTweet.org

My heart is with the loved ones of Glenn Edward Bennett and Donald Ray Surrett Jr., who were killed last night in the horrific shooting in Bend. Investigators say Donald, a Safeway employee, attempted to disarm the shooter, which may have saved lives—a selfless and heroic act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to come together - Democrats and Republicans, urban and rural, Black and white and brown and Asian American and Native American, and including the many responsible gun owners - and put an end to this madness. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This doesn’t have to happen. It’s not normal in any other country. High-powered assault rifles with high-capacity magazines, combined with personal grievances and often a culture of hate, create a toxic stew that leaves good people, innocent people dead, maimed, and traumatized. — PolitiTweet.org

My heart breaks for the families of the victims and the many people whose routine Sunday evening shopping turned into a terrifying run for their lives in Bend. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, the White House announced some improvements to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. @SenWhitehouse and I introduced the Simplifying and Strengthening PSLF Act to make further improvements—let’s get it done!https://t.co/3B9SeRc72m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’ve had legislation for years to make income-based repayment the norm, so that no one has unaffordable student loan repayments. So gratified to see the White House cap payments at 5% of a person’s income! https://t.co/1UJVyIlKgB — PolitiTweet.org

This is a great step in the right direction. Now, Congress needs to protect the rights of DACA recipients and fortify the program itself. I’ll keep working to create a path to citizenship for Dreamers and TPS holders. https://t.co/cvgIpbD8Kq — PolitiTweet.org

I led colleagues in urging @SecBlinken and @SecYellen to impose sanctions on the junta in Burma and halt the flow of revenues from the Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise five years to the day that the Burmese military began their genocide against the Rohingya. https://t.co/YU8Rhwe8gC — PolitiTweet.org
