Today, @SenatorCarper and I led 17 of our Senate colleagues in demanding answers from Postmaster Louis DeJoy on his choice to tie USPS to gas-powered vehicles instead of EVs. DeJoy's plan puts our planet and health in peril at a time when USPS and FedEx are going electric. https://t.co/hbXuUNUo5E — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to vote for and glad to see the Senate finally confirm key nuclear security, arms control, and nonproliferation @StateDept officials. With nuclear threats in Ukraine and efforts to prevent Iran's developing nuclear weapons, it’s crucial that we have these leaders in place. — PolitiTweet.org

We all deserve to feel seen and safe in our communities, which is why we must fight the unrelenting attacks on trans people and the larger LGBTQ+ community. I’ll continue to work to pass the #EqualityAct to ensure equal dignity and opportunities to everyone. #TransDayOfVisibility — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

No bill can erase years of violence and terror inflicted on Black Americans, but this is a step forward in reckoning with the racist violence inextricably entwined in our history as a nation and continuing to chart a course forward rooted in justice and equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Yesterday, @POTUS signed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law—a long overdue move to finally make lynching a federal hate crime, after years of blocked efforts. It should not have taken this long for us to call lynching what it is: a hate crime. https://t.co/A9mGMbjZXp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

At the very least, Justice Thomas needs to recuse himself from all matters related to January 6th. Ginni Thomas’ involvement in efforts to overturn the election is a huge and unacceptable conflict of interest. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil is gouging us at the pump. We need to act now to relieve the economic pain Americans are feeling! The windfall profits tax would fund rebates directly to consumers to offset the pain at the pump. https://t.co/7e5CLveDKc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Wastewater treatment facilities help keep Oregonians’ rivers and streams safe and clean. Non-flushable wipes cause costly damage and leave behind harmful micro-plastics. I’m introducing a bill to keep our water clean and treatment facilities functioning. https://t.co/Cw0zd44d4p — PolitiTweet.org

I will continue to work toward student debt cancellation—passing the Affordable Loans for Any Student Act is one way to protect current borrowers in the meantime and future borrowers. https://t.co/o6rnMd1TWk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Higher education should be a path to opportunity—not to a lifetime of debt. So many young people in our country are putting off plans for their future because of student loan burden. We can guarantee that no borrowers have to pay more than they can afford. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Justice Thomas's conduct raises egregious ethics and separation of powers issues. I joined colleagues in calling on him to recuse himself from any case related to January 6th and for the Supreme Court to instate a code of ethics for justices—long overdue. https://t.co/mO88fssoIH — PolitiTweet.org

Every voter in our country should have the right to cast their ballot and know their vote counts. That is why I am fighting to pass federal protections to preserve our democracy for all Americans and stop the powerful and privileged from buying elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Had a productive call today with @AsstSecStateAF discussing the crisis in Ethiopia. I urged her to continue working to quickly get needed humanitarian relief into Tigray and help facilitate an inclusive political process to resolve this terrible crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

My meeting with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmed for me what her Judiciary Committee hearing showed the nation: she has an unimpeachable character and a depth of knowledge and experience that will be a true asset to the Supreme Court. #ConfirmJackson https://t.co/O1WHVcxuIZ — PolitiTweet.org

I will continue fighting for federal non-discrimination policies to protect trans youth and all LGBTQ+ people from these hateful, unceasing attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Every child should be able to navigate school without having to hide who they are, and every child should see themselves reflected in their lessons. This bill is a shameful attack on LGBTQ+ youth—part of a nationwide effort by the GOP rooted in hate and intolerance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We already know what side Koch is on. They’ve shown us again and again that they will always put their profits ahead of people and democratic principles—no matter the cost. This is just the latest example.https://t.co/bhyWWD7t2C — PolitiTweet.org
