Another horrible impact of climate chaos. From the Bootleg fire to the McKinney fire, a byproduct of severe wildfires can be pollution in our waterways, ecosystem damage, and impacts on fish populations that carry immense cultural significance to tribes. https://t.co/JEHuMvWCCA — PolitiTweet.org

It’s still sinking in. Yesterday, the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act—powerful legislation to: ☑️ Lower health costs for Americans ☑️ Make strides to address climate chaos ☑️ Fight inflation — PolitiTweet.org

I led my colleagues in a letter to the @US_FDA urging them to retain and strengthen the rules around seafood traceability. Americans should know that the seafood they consume is safe, legally caught, and honestly labeled. https://t.co/ba1MyvRvMk — PolitiTweet.org

It's a big day for America—the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act, historic investments in clean energy, our health, and creating good-paying jobs here in the U.S. Progress delivered for the people. Our work continues to build on that progress! https://t.co/YZSxdJegWF — PolitiTweet.org

Inflation Reduction Act: passed! Huge round of applause for all of the staff who worked tirelessly to make this happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Inflation Reduction Act provides free vaccines for seniors, caps out-of-pocket costs for Rx drugs under Medicare, and empowers Medicare to start the process of negotiating Rx drug prices. Key steps toward making health care more accessible and affordable—let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I will not give up on the fight to pass federal laws guaranteeing equal access to the ballot and ending discriminatory practices in our electoral system. That starts with moving to #RestoreTheVRA and with passing the Freedom to Vote Act. https://t.co/9uIH10PoFj — PolitiTweet.org

In 2013, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, and in the years since, the GOP has focused on systematically chipping away at our fundamental freedom to vote, state by state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

57 years ago, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, following tireless advocacy led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Congressman John Lewis, students, and civil rights activists. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Inflation Reduction Act’s climate investments ring three bells: Made in America! Great union jobs! Renewable energy security! Awesome!! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Senate reconvenes at noon today for debate and a vote on the Inflation Reduction Act. Let’s get this done for the American people! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Big Pharma is against the drug negotiation provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act because they’ve ripped us off FOR YEARS, spending big on lobbying and dark money campaigns to block progress. We need to start negotiating Rx prices so we get the best prices, not the worst. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Big news: Australia pledged to be net zero by 2050! https://t.co/j98vgwMfBC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It’s great that the Inflation Reduction Act has a tax strategy to incentivize building clean energy projects with our world class union workforce—a concept I pioneered with former AFL-CIO President Trumka. Our renewable energy future should be built in America with union labor! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It’s an important development that Special Envoy Hammer was able to travel to Tigray and see firsthand the suffering there. I echo his calls for the immediate restoration of basic services in Tigray and for an inclusive political dialogue that resolves this conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Oak Creek shooting 10 years ago was a targeted attack against Sikh Americans. Everyone should be able to worship, shop, and move about their communities without fear of violence. Today, we #RememberOakCreek and recommit to rooting out racism and violence wherever they arise. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Huge. 528,000 new jobs in July. Let’s continue to build on this economic growth and deliver for the American people by passing the Inflation Reduction Act this weekend! https://t.co/PPwKGYuVzL — PolitiTweet.org

Big Pharma’s “grave concerns” are that Congress finally is taking a first step toward negotiating fair drug prices for Americans rather than letting Big Pharma rip us off. https://t.co/neBCWVvLMT — PolitiTweet.org

In May, I led a letter with @SenMarkey urging the administration to prioritize human rights and democracy in the U.S.-Philippines relationship. This week, @SecBlinken has the opportunity to elevate these topics in his engagements with the new government. — PolitiTweet.org

I wrote a bill to ensure clean energy projects create good jobs. The Inflation Reduction Act incorporates my concept by juicing tax credits for producing clean energy when those projects are built with a prevailing wage workforce. The bill will cut pollution AND create good jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to protect doctors and other professionals who provide reproductive health care, including abortions, and make sure patients can get care in a timely and safe manner. Bottom line: this bill will save lives. Let's get it passed. https://t.co/ik9FvwMosx — PolitiTweet.org

The Inflation Reduction Act will mean lower health insurance premiums for 13 million Americans by extending tax credits under the Affordable Care Act. We need to get this passed. — PolitiTweet.org

The international community must hold the junta in Burma accountable for ruthlessly undermining democracy and violating the human rights of its own people. With over 2,000 deaths since the coup 18 months ago, it’s beyond time for @ASEAN to suspend or expel Burma. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Good move. Monkeypox is a growing threat, and I’ve been calling for the Biden administration to take decisive action to ensure monkeypox vaccine access is widespread and equitable. This is a step in the right direction to keep our communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org
