Big Oil is gouging us at the pump—we need to tax those ill-gotten profits and give rebates to Americans. This is a short term solution—long term, we need to take power away from Big Oil and tyrants like Putin by investing in clean energy—our planet and security are at stake. https://t.co/vy53QDXcK5 — PolitiTweet.org

The images coming out of Bucha and elsewhere in Ukraine are horrific. These gruesome war crimes cannot go unpunished. The mass graves must be investigated and Putin must be held accountable for the atrocities being committed by the Russian military. https://t.co/1ZCjMAfq88 — PolitiTweet.org

President Zelenskyy is right: a shift to green energy will take power out of the hands of tyrants like Putin who depend on oil and gas profits to fund their destruction. Europe has started accelerating their transition to renewables, but the United States can and must do more. — PolitiTweet.org

This is HUGE. Congratulations to the Amazon workers who overcame Amazon’s serious union-busting tactics to unionize and advocate for fair wages and working conditions!   We need to make it easier for everyone to organize at work—we must pass the #PROAct! https://t.co/H3N9IhjofX — PolitiTweet.org

@UnderSecStateJ Pleased to see an implementation plan for the Global Fragility Act.

Lowering the cost of insulin and ALL other Rx drugs is key to make health care more affordable. That’s why I'm working to get my #EndPriceGouging for Medications Act passed. Reducing costs is crucial as we continue to work toward simple, seamless, health care for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Yesterday, the House voted to cap the out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $35 a month. This is a critical, life-saving step in the right direction—we need to get this done in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should have access to affordable and safe housing—and the pandemic exacerbated the housing crisis in Oregon and across the U.S. These grants will fund critical programs to support every member of our communities throughout this pandemic and beyond.https://t.co/kvA8A2RAJm — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is supremely qualified—she’s served as a public defender, clerked for a Supreme Court justice, and was confirmed to the D.C. Circuit Court. Her experience and unimpeachable character will serve the Supreme Court—and all of America—well. — PolitiTweet.org
