This could be the latest in a long line of dangerous decisions pushed by extremist justices to let corporations exploit their workers, their customers, and our shared future to get even richer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Supreme Court is considering West Virginia v. EPA, a case that would gut the EPA’s authority to combat climate chaos—it could let corporations harm our health and the environment without consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The bipartisan gun safety reform package is the biggest breakthrough we’ve had in 30 years—I look forward to seeing the legislative text of the proposal. This doesn’t represent nearly everything we should do to curb the epidemic of gun violence, but it’s a critical step forward. — PolitiTweet.org

No one should be forced to make the impossible choice between filling a prescription and putting food on the table. I introduced the #EndPriceGouging for Medications Act to stop Big Pharma from ripping folks off. — PolitiTweet.org

From extreme temperatures to intensifying wildfires, climate chaos affects us all and leaves lasting impacts on the wellbeing and mental health of our youth. I’m fighting for the bold action we need to protect our health, planet, and future generations. https://t.co/cXondACwdP — PolitiTweet.org

One concrete step that I’m pushing for in the Senate is passing the Abolition Amendment to #EndTheException in our 13th Amendment that allows for slavery as punishment for a crime. This clause has fueled re-enslavement and mass incarceration for generations, and must be removed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Juneteenth is now a federal holiday, but that recognition cannot be a placeholder for action. We must recognize the lasting impact of slavery and that justice and freedom are still too often denied to Black Americans, and recommit to building a more just country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I know this can be a difficult day for some folks, and if you’re hurting today, I urge you to protect your peace as well as you can. — PolitiTweet.org

Good to be in Portland at @JuneteenthOR yesterday! As we celebrate freedom, I’m committed to passing the Abolition Amendment to #EndTheException in our 13th Amendment that allows slavery to continue as punishment for crime. A ban on slavery can't come with exceptions. https://t.co/nfQ2DeKYa4 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 7th Anniversary, @PortlandMercado!

Fires. Floods. Storms. These are the real consequences of climate chaos, playing out across our country and threating lives, livelihoods, and our environment. This is why I continue to push for bold investments in climate action—there’s no time to waste. https://t.co/fY0FtD0kyu — PolitiTweet.org
