The U.S. hit a record low uninsured rate—a step toward ensuring everyone can access the health care they need! Our work continues to make health care accessible and affordable for all. I’m working to continue that progress with the Inflation Reduction Act. https://t.co/iTrD3y8SXU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The funding bills I'm championing make significant investments in small ports and shipyards, boost salmon and steelhead recovery, and support our fishing industry, all while taking on the impacts climate chaos is inflicting on marine ecosystems. Big wins for coastal communities! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Passing the Inflation Reduction Act would empower Medicare to negotiate some drug prices for the first time. I want to see Americans get the best prices in the developed world for all prescription drugs. This bill is a first step toward making that a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This bill has investments in family farms, rural housing, food assistance, habitat restoration, and agricultural research and prioritizes making our agriculture more resilient to the impacts of climate chaos to protect the livelihoods of our farmers, ranchers, and producers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As I hold a town hall in each of Oregon’s 36 counties every year, I hear from folks in every corner of the state about what matters most to them, including ensuring our world-class agriculture sector has the support it needs to grow and thrive. https://t.co/oH7FJysNxt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations should pay their fair share in taxes, every year. The Inflation Reduction Act closes the most egregious loopholes—it’s an important step forward. Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Smoke-filled skies, deadly temperatures, and the threat of wildfires are clear signs of climate chaos. The bipartisan infrastructure law makes critical investments to help Oregon communities deal with the strain of climate-related disasters. https://t.co/OX50DVTLbl — PolitiTweet.org

While Oregonians faced sky high prices at the gas pump, BP raked in their biggest profits in 14 YEARS. They made $8.45 BILLION by exploiting Russia’s war and reaching into our pockets. We need to pass a windfall profits tax—this is just plain wrong. https://t.co/j0ydHKHGyt — PolitiTweet.org

I secured $2.5 million in the Senate FY23 spending bills to complete this project and look forward to following its progress. Great to see folks coming together to make this happen! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Good to be in Terrebonne on Friday to meet with the folks working to modernize Lone Pine Irrigation District. This project is critically important to irrigators and many others in the basin. https://t.co/pObbzXGjRd — PolitiTweet.org

Had a great meeting with tireless human rights advocate Nury Turkel last week. Nury is a steadfast champion for Uyghur civil rights, and I appreciated the chance to talk about how to combat forced labor and transnational repression with him. https://t.co/sfgam0vny1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

There is still work to be done to reunite families separated under the Trump administration and to build an immigration system that respects the dignity of every person. That includes passing my Children’s Safe Welcome Act to protect children in our care! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Trump administration’s family separation policy was cruel—I’m glad to see progress in reuniting families under the Biden administration. Grateful for the work of the Family Reunification Task Force and the advocates who pushed tirelessly for action. https://t.co/5YTSaRFgXu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Discrimination is a poison we need to eliminate from our society and we certainly need to make sure it doesn’t exist in health care. That’s why I’m applauding this move from @HHSGov.https://t.co/T2FFgYwuw1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

While gas prices soared and Oregonians suffered at the pump, Exxon and Chevron were raking in record profits. It’s past time to pass a windfall profits tax on these RECORD profits to give rebates directly to consumers. https://t.co/kTKokTAyV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Veterans dealing with the impact of toxic exposures have too often faced barriers in accessing care. Last week, the GOP inexplicably blocked the PACT Act, a bill to ensure veterans get the benefits they deserve. Hope they make the right choice this week. Let’s get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I led a bipartisan Senate Resolution condemning the use hunger as a weapon of war. Russia’s use of this tactic has been especially catastrophic and led to a global food crisis. Good to see that tireless diplomacy has finally enabled Ukraine to ship its grain to global markets. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been working for years to protect the integrity of our elections—part of that is getting dark money out of our electoral system. Huge corporations and billionaires can't be allowed to covertly flood our elections with billions to drown out the voice of the American people. — PolitiTweet.org
