But let’s be clear: there’s more that we can and must do to end the epidemic of gun violence. The broken Senate filibuster rules mean that a minority of Senators can veto lifesaving bills. I’m continuing to work to fix the filibuster so we can deliver for the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Grateful to @ChrisMurphyCT and everyone who came to the table with the intention of saving lives. I look forward to seeing more details. This represents a step forward—I’m ready to do anything that helps with our crisis of gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a fine first step, but $10 million is not enough in the face of the humanitarian, environmental, and economic catastrophe that will occur if the FSO Safer explodes. I urge the Biden Administration to add sufficient funding to ensure we’re able to prevent this disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I will continue to fight for meaningful, commonsense gun safety reforms, and to reform the filibuster so we can vote on a bill supported by huge majorities of Americans and majorities in Congress and get it to President Biden’s desk. Lives depend on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We face a serious dark money campaign from groups like the NRA who will always put their own profits and power ahead of the lives of folks in our country, and we face some of my colleagues in Congress who are bought into that immoral ideology. That cannot stop us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Immediate steps to take: improve background checks, raise the age limit to purchase guns, limit the capacity of ammunition magazines, renew a federal ban on military-style assault weapons, expand red flag laws, and hold gun manufacturers liable when their negligence costs lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I'm grateful to those around the country today marching and speaking out through their own grief and trauma, calling for meaningful, commonsense gun safety reforms. I’m with you—I feel your pain and frustration—and I will keep pushing for meaningful change. #MarchForOurLives — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Gun violence rips communities apart. Schools, churches, family gatherings—places where people should be safe become scenes of unimaginable trauma. Mass shootings happen nearly daily and our kids are doing active shooter drills alongside learning their times tables in school. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Tomorrow is National #GetOutdoors Day, a chance to enjoy all of Oregon’s beautiful trails, waters, and public lands. There’s nowhere better to be outdoors than our home! I hope folks can get out and enjoy nature! https://t.co/8HB9Z8B6ov — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, @mojgani! I’m so looking forward to following along as you continue to forge lasting connections with Oregonians as our Poet Laureate.  https://t.co/3i3lx3vIYe — PolitiTweet.org

Investigating the attack on our nation on Jan. 6th isn’t about partisan politics. It's about defending the revolutionary principle of our republic—the peaceful transfer of power to the candidate chosen by the people. Thank you, @January6thCmte. #January6thCommitteeHearings — PolitiTweet.org

This video is disturbing to watch, but it’s what happened on January 6th, minute by minute. Everyone involved in planning and carrying out this attack must be held accountable. #January6thCommitteeHearings — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

On January 6, 2021, MAGA Republicans attacked not only our Capitol, but our fundamental freedom to have our voices heard by voting. They planned, paid for, and carried out a violent attack to overturn an election they lost. They must be held accountable. #Jan6thCommitteeHearings — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We must hold to account all involved in this attempted coup to protect the voice of the people in our future elections. Thank you to the bipartisan @January6thCmte for pursuing facts and justice in the face of obstruction, threats, and ongoing attempts to undermine our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

On 1/6, MAGA Republicans executed a planned attack to overturn the election. Fueled by the Big Lie, planning began long before January, and assaults on the legitimacy of our elections haven't ended in the 18 months since. The @January6thCmte seeks answers. https://t.co/vsuSIV3Djs — PolitiTweet.org

Oregon is leading the way in our transition to a renewable energy economy. How fitting that this state-of-the-art clean energy facility took over use of transmission lines that used to service a shuttered coal plant. Progress. @portlandgeneral https://t.co/fHnlfutUnb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to ban the use and importation of asbestos once and for all—and that’s exactly why @RepBonamici and I introduced the Alan Reinstein Ban Asbestos Now Act. Let’s make 2022 the year we ban this toxic carcinogen. https://t.co/U8bZ5VRaBS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Thank you to @SenatorCarper and everyone who participated in today’s @EPWCmte hearing on asbestos. We heard from folks whose lives have been upended because of toxic asbestos exposures—we can’t allow industry profits to be valued over people’s lives. — PolitiTweet.org

We all lived through this, and I even wrote a whole book about this, and still Trump officials’ capacity for evil stuns me. Strategizing how to prevent children from being reunited with their families is child abuse, plain and simple. Absolutely depraved. https://t.co/55msFZpRi4 — PolitiTweet.org
