Voting by mail is already working in red and blue states alike. Expanding vote by mail shouldn’t be partisan—it’s about making sure every American has a voice in our elections, no matter who they cast their ballot for. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

To get the Senate back to working order we need to reform the filibuster so we can have productive debate and then VOTE. No more secret, silent filibuster stalling all progress on important legislation Americans want and deserve. https://t.co/WlpqlkcSGl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

If the Biden Administration is serious about tackling climate chaos they must move us away from drilling and toward our renewable energy future. We can’t greenlight projects that put our environment at risk and tie us to oil and gas for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Thank you for taking executive action to protect access to abortion care, @POTUS. This is critically important to protect bodily autonomy and access to reproductive health care. This is an important first step, but more must be done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

My heart is with the people of Japan in the wake of the devastating assassination of Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. He will be remembered as a consummate statesman and visionary leader who championed democracies across the Indo-Pacific—his loss is felt deeply across the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Americans spend much more on prescription drugs annually than patients in other countries. Big Pharma has been allowed to push prices sky high, with no oversight. Enough. We need to pass my #EndPriceGouging for Medications Act and stop the rip off. — PolitiTweet.org

I urge the @StateDept to advance a resolution to the conflict in Ethiopia, with accountability for human rights violations and an inclusive dialogue for real peace, as the situation in Oromia continues to deteriorate every day. https://t.co/RHyNSI91Ga — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

In preparation for another wildfire season, I met with federal and state wildfire response leaders to discuss how we can keep working together to protect Oregonians, ensure firefighters are paid fairly, and make forests more resilient. https://t.co/13uJNxxErz — PolitiTweet.org

The Court's extremist majority is acting as an unelected super-legislature, ignoring settled precedent and the principles of the court to push an unpopular, far-right agenda straight out of the GOP Party platform. They've become a huge threat to our constitutional republic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Yes. The Supreme Court is definitely in the midst of a legitimacy crisis. https://t.co/WF08levUJb — PolitiTweet.org

Big oil companies are raking in record profits as Oregonians feel pain at the pump—that’s just plain wrong. I’m pushing for a bill that will STOP this price gouging and put money back in consumers’ pockets. https://t.co/Kd2H8DVgeu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Great to see California pass producer-responsibility legislation to reduce plastic pollution. Oregon adopted the first such bill last year, and I hope a lot more states follow our example. Passing my #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act will tackle this on a federal level. — PolitiTweet.org

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s dangerous, extreme decision to overturn years of precedent and restrict access to abortion care for millions, @POTUS can and must take bold action to preserve reproductive rights. https://t.co/zr8pJS73eq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Last week, @SenWhitehouse and I announced a resolution marking July as Plastic Pollution Action Month—highlighting the urgent need to address our growing plastic pollution crisis. We’ll keep fighting in the Senate for bold action.https://t.co/cV8OWGnLb9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The shooter must be held accountable for this act of pure evil. We also need legislative action. Mass shootings happen nearly daily in the U.S. Enough is enough. We’ve taken steps toward commonsense gun reforms but we need to do more, including banning assault rifles. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone in our country should be able to enjoy a parade, to walk around their community, to celebrate with loved ones without the threat of gun violence. The shooting in Highland Park this weekend is a tragedy, and my heart breaks for those who are reeling from this loss. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a moment to fight for those ideals our country was founded on, and to continue to work to make the United States a country where the doors of opportunity are open to all, and our fundamental rights are protected. I will continue that fight in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We’re facing a moment where so many of our freedoms—to vote, to control our own bodies, to live on a habitable planet, to name just a few—are under attack by MAGA politicians, their donors, and an extremist majority on the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and happy Fourth of July. Let’s take today to recommit to working toward the values of freedom and justice for all that our country was founded on. — PolitiTweet.org
