Marriage equality is a fundamental right. I’m working to pass the Respect for Marriage Act to create clear federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriage in the face of an extremist Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is an exciting day for Portland as @PBOTinfo officially opens a new bridge named after my friend, @repblumenauer. This new car-free bridge connects two of Portland’s fastest growing neighborhoods and promotes alternative ways to travel the city. — PolitiTweet.org

Elected officials should be working in the public interest, not for special interests. We need to get the DISCLOSE Act passed to get dark money out of our elections and make sure the voices of the American people are heard. https://t.co/rh8llwvxCZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Companies are reexamining their supply chains following the passage of my Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act—a major step toward making sure that businesses and consumers are not supporting China’s grave human rights abuses. https://t.co/2RphdkY1Ca — PolitiTweet.org

It was great to be at this hydropower plant ribbon cutting yesterday with @USDA Under Secretary Robert Bonnie, so he could see firsthand how Oregon does water conservation right and celebrate years of collaboration and partnership! https://t.co/FBnw3t4eEv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Congrats to the Three Sisters Irrigation District and all involved in this 25-year effort to modernize this irrigation system to ensure an adequate water supply for the 129 farms and 7,500+ irrigated acres that it serves, protect critical habitat, and generate clean energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

HUGE NEWS: Oregon is leading the call for @EPA to establish air quality standards on greenhouse gases to address climate chaos. Climate investments in reconciliation are important but we need strong action from Biden, too. Thank you, @ORDOJ! https://t.co/JzCTCawPzR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I worked with committee colleagues and @RonWyden to secure funding for 111 local projects that were homegrown by folks in Oregon who are working to make their communities better. We'll work to get them to the finish line for Oregonians. https://t.co/4RbJZW9sno — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

No one knows the unique needs of communities across Oregon like the folks living and working in them. I joined the Appropriations Committee to make sure Oregon has a strong voice in decisions about investments we're making as a country. — PolitiTweet.org

I won’t cross the picket line. Senate Cafeteria workers are essential to keeping Congress running, and deserve fair pay and contracts. Solidarity. — PolitiTweet.org

Oregon has strong protections in place for marriage equality—protections all Americans should have. We need to pass the Respect for Marriage Act and make sure those protections are enshrined in federal law. — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful to meet with Anton Abu Akleh and hear directly from him about the impact of his family’s loss. I urge the Biden administration to pursue a thorough investigation that leads to accountability for the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh. #JusticeForShireen https://t.co/EhaxPrRsrU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

My colleagues and I were elected to work for the American people—not for the powerful and privileged. That’s why I’m working to pass the DISCLOSE Act and shine a light on the dark money that corrupts our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Learn more about the investments coming to Oregon via the Water Resources Development Act of 2022 ⬇️ https://t.co/9eI3dmB2XX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Senate passed the water infrastructure bill, which will invest in ports, harbors, and waterways in states and tribal communities in Oregon! This bill supports our 23 ports and lots of other communities—a win for our economy and for the safety of our workers and communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

At a time when wildfires are an ever-growing threat, this bill makes big investments in preventing and fighting dangerous megafires. I am excited to see how these investments will play a key role in strengthening our state and nation for generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This bill, built on input from Oregonians across the state, funds programs that modernize our water systems, combat climate chaos, champion critical projects long-sought by our communities and tribes and so much more, while creating good-paying jobs. https://t.co/FaimSP215p — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone in our country should have clean air and water, healthy forests and ecosystems, and infrastructure that works for them, no matter where they live. As Chair of the Senate Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, I wrote a bill that delivers for Oregonians. — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to reading the details of the reconciliation deal. $300B for clean energy investments seems like a very positive step—but details matter. I'm especially concerned that the permitting package doesn’t turn around and undermine the carbon savings of these investments. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As Oregon and the rest of the West face catastrophic wildfires and extreme heat, the climate crisis is inescapable. To drag our feet on climate action or to tether ourselves to dirty energy for years to come is not acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our 13th Amendment contains a gaping, sinister loophole: It outlaws slavery “except as punishment for crime.” It’s far past time to #EndTheException—that’s why @RepNikema and I are working to pass the Abolition Amendment. https://t.co/GbIguGtmaM — PolitiTweet.org
