Now, that attack is not a possibility, but a reality. It is now up to every state to defend reproductive rights, but so many states are headed in exactly the opposite direction. This is a mega-calamity for the rights of Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Earlier this spring, we saw the fear, anger, and uncertainty across the country stemming from the callous and dangerous draft Supreme Court decision that attacked women’s reproductive rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Six justices destroyed people's right to make their own health care decisions. It’s disturbing, putting an overbearing government in the exam room. This attack on our freedom is a special delivery from extremist justices and the MAGA politicians and pundits cheering them on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone should be able to live as their authentic selves, without fear of discrimination. In Oregon, we have strong protections for LGBTQ+ folks—I’m working to make sure that we pass legislation to codify those protections nationwide. https://t.co/XxUVsaaMo4 — PolitiTweet.org

My thoughts leaving the Senate after the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act passed tonight. https://t.co/cBIWVDrsIP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is just the beginning of our work, not the end—it’s progress. I’ll keep working toward further gun safety reforms that will keep our families and our communities in Oregon and across the country safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

BREAKING: The Senate just PASSED the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant piece of gun legislation in 30 years. Thank you, @ChrisMurphyCT and everyone who came to the table to make this happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Child nutrition waivers are crucial to making sure that all of our kids have access to a meal every day. Glad to see this bipartisan bill pass! @POTUS should sign it ASAP—this is about the health and wellbeing of our children. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We're facing another devastating wildfire season, fueled by climate chaos. Wildland firefighters are critical to protecting our communities—that's why I pushed to get them paid fairly. This is a good step. The administration should deliver fair pay ASAP. https://t.co/GQAmgRCUyx — PolitiTweet.org

I was honored to receive @MercyCorps' 2022 Humanitarian Hero Award. The real heroes are the Mercy Corps field staff on the frontlines of conflicts and crises across the globe. Thank you for being such a dedicated partner in our fight to build a better, safer world for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Wow—this is a great move to protect human health and the environment and tackle our plastic pollution crisis. I’m pushing for similar action in the U.S. with my #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act. Let’s make 2022 the year we get it done! https://t.co/Dk80DH2L31 — PolitiTweet.org

This is amazing to finally see! After 14 years of advocacy, the FDA takes real action to defend Americans’ health. Let’s give them the credit they deserve. Well done! https://t.co/be295QhA2R — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Hunger should never be used as a weapon of war. Today the Foreign Relations Committee passed my bipartisan resolution calling out bad actors who weaponize starvation and put people and food systems around the world at risk. https://t.co/6mOdnNz9oe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Supreme Court is increasingly acting like a Super Congress by creating laws. This case is yet another example of how far off track things are, where Justices have not only ignored the foundation of the 2nd Amendment, but also a century of jurisprudence.https://t.co/GyYVSZJudN — PolitiTweet.org

Higher education should be affordable and accessible to all, but too often that's not the case. Pell Grants make a huge difference. In 50 years, over 2 million Oregon students have received Pell Grants to help them succeed in higher education. Happy birthday, Pell! #PellTurns50 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Every new mom should have the chance to breastfeed her baby if she wants to. That’s why I’ll keep working with Senator Murkowski to pass the bipartisan PUMP Act. No one should be forced by their employer to stop nursing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Community Action Program of East Central Oregon does incredible work to feed and support folks in multiple counties. I’m glad @RonWyden and I secured funding for CAPECO to create a new regional food center, and look forward to seeing the new facility. https://t.co/pYLXNa3ZEv — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you for committing to put this bill up for a vote quickly, @SenSchumer. While it’s not nearly everything we need in a gun safety reform package, it’s a step forward. I voted YES to advance this bill last night and urge Senate passage ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Tuesday, my Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act went into effect—a critical step toward making sure American businesses and consumers don’t support China’s egregious human rights abuses. This is a clear message to China: genocide and slave labor will not be tolerated. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone should have a safe place to call home. This veterans housing project will provide safe, permanent homes for dozens of veterans in our community. I am thrilled @RonWyden and I could secure $2 million in funding for this project. https://t.co/IyAwxhOx8v — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll continue to fight for strong environmental protections and to pass the DISCLOSE Act to shine a light on the right-wing donors pushing to put corporate polluters ahead of people. — PolitiTweet.org
