Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We’ve got to get this passed, @RepHuffman! Climate chaos threatens our health, planet, and future—it’s a challenge we need to tackle from every angle, including ending the financing of new fossil fuel projects. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I will continue to work to reform the filibuster so we can get the Senate back to working for the people, instead of for the special interests who put their own profits ahead of the health and safety of Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It’s past time for Congress to act to address the epidemic of gun violence that shatters families across our country. Republican colleagues: Lives are at stake. It's not about politics, it’s about people. Let’s all work together to move a meaningful bill forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Devastating gun violence across our country last night. More people grieving the loss of a loved ones, more people living in fear of the same violence. Mass shootings are a nearly daily occurrence in our country—that’s not normal, and doesn’t have to be this way. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is a good step to stop funding Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, but to break our dependence on authoritarians long-term we need to break our dependence on oil—period. I’m pushing for a move toward our clean energy future. https://t.co/Lx1Ncrhgh1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone in our country should be able to live as their authentic self, without fear of discrimination or violence. As bills attacking LGBTQ+ people, particularly trans youth, continue to circulate in state legislatures, I will keep fighting to pass the #EqualityAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today is the start of #PrideMonth, a time to celebrate our LGBTQ+ neighbors and friends in Oregon and around the country and honor the queer activists and trailblazers who led and continue to lead the charge to affirm and protect equal rights for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Passing the DISCLOSE Act and getting dark money out of politics is a huge step toward making the kind of progress that we need to make. We’re fighting to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@SenWhitehouse is right. The immense clout of the NRA’s dark money operation—the money they pour into our elections and into the campaign coffers of politicians—is a corrupting influence that stalls badly needed legislation like gun safety reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I support the bipartisan efforts to pass comprehensive gun safety reform and send it to the President’s desk. And I’ll continue to work to reform the filibuster so we can make the bold reforms necessary to keep our communities and our country safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone should be able to move about their communities safely, without fear of gun violence. Parents shouldn’t need to worry when they drop their kids off at school. Failure isn’t an option on gun safety reforms. This shouldn’t be partisan—lives are at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, something I know has been top of mind for many across the country. How could it not be? We live in a county where mass shootings are a weekly occurrence, and where active shooter drills are necessary in our kids’ classrooms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

If we’re serious about tackling climate chaos, we need to get serious about breaking our reliance on fossil fuels. That means passing my #KeepItInTheGround Act, ending Big Oil’s destruction of our home, and transitioning to renewable energy. https://t.co/iDkWOYrOy7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Earlier this year, I was on the Senate floor explaining the filibuster and how it stalls progress on protecting our freedom to vote. The same thing is happening with gun safety reforms—we must reform the filibuster and make the Senate work for the people. https://t.co/vNi2VdZAi2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to do more to support the folks who work tirelessly to keep our communities safer and healthier. They’re invaluable to our communities. I have a bill to modernize nursing education and infrastructure and enhance our preparedness—I’m working to get it passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Health care workers make our communities better, one bedside as a time. The past few years have been full of unprecedented challenges for health care workers, as they navigated a pandemic that has killed more than 1 million Americans. https://t.co/Ntjy8GBj4R — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today, we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. We hold in our hearts the loved ones of members of our armed forces who lost their lives in the line of duty. Thank you for your service. #MemorialDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We should all be able to go to the grocery store, attend school, and walk around our neighborhoods without fear of being shot. The epidemic of gun violence in our nation makes that impossible—we need to reform the filibuster and pass gun safety legislation. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This #WorldHungerDay is a chance to reaffirm our commitment to addressing food insecurity and famine wherever it arises and condemning the weaponization of hunger. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I keep thinking about taking my son to his first day of first grade at his school down the street. No parent should have to fear for their child’s safety after they drop them off at school. All we have to do is think about our own children, and we feel it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It is the Senate’s responsibility to address the issues affecting America’s families—and gun violence certainly impacts our families. We need more than thoughts and prayers. We need to reform the filibuster and make substantive legislative change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. prepares to take office in the Philippines, @SenMarkey and I led our Senate colleagues in urging @SecBlinken to prioritize protecting democracy and human rights in the U.S.-Philippines relationship. https://t.co/snGcYmIS7B — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@Rep_Stansbury and I led 81 colleagues to urge @SecBlinken to engage in urgent diplomacy to prevent the eviction of Palestinians from homes they've lived in for generations in Masafer Yatta. These evictions increase tension & undercut efforts to take concrete steps toward peace. https://t.co/FgrauISry7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

To address gun safety, we need to address the fact that the Senate is a broken institution where a minority of Senators can stall progress. I’m working to reform the filibuster so we can pass commonsense gun safety reforms and get them to President Biden’s desk. — PolitiTweet.org
