Earthquake preparedness and emergency planning is a big deal for Oregonians—many of us worry about the damage the “big one” would do to our communities. I’m proud to have secured critical funding to invest in the resilience of the Port of Portland.https://t.co/5voomFeR5A — PolitiTweet.org

In conjunction with that letter, we also led colleagues in calling on @SecBlinken, @SecYellen, and @PowerUSAID to address concerns with Thailand’s proposed law that would limit the ability of NGOs to help refugees from Burma’s oppression. https://t.co/L45QSYD3p4 — PolitiTweet.org

The military coup and humanitarian crisis in Burma threatens the stability of the entire region. This week, @SenMarkey and I wrote to our allies in Thailand and asked them to do more to help those who need aid and to resolve this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should know who is funding our elections—the dark money pouring into our elections makes that impossible. If you’re not willing to stand behind what you’re saying, you shouldn’t be saying it! Passing the DISCLOSE Act will end the scourge of dark money. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The GOP is waging an all-out attack on our freedom to vote: long lines in certain precincts on Election Day, limiting hours and parking, switching polling locations. One way we can make sure every American has a voice in our elections is expanding vote by mail nationwide! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Americans are feeling pain at the gas pump, and we need to act to tax oil companies’ windfall profits and give rebates to consumers. But we cannot tie ourselves to fossil fuels for years into the future—we must also invest in a just transition to clean energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Huge conflict of interest and separation of powers issues here. Justice Thomas must explain what he knew of his wife's involvement in inciting a coup attempt and why he didn't recuse. At the very least, he must recuse on all 1/6 and Big Lie matters. https://t.co/E8YAX6iWyr — PolitiTweet.org

To end our vulnerability to gas price spikes and stop funding tyrants like Putin, it's critical that folks can charge their electric car as easily as they can fill up their gas tank. I urged @USDOT to prioritize this and was glad to speak with @SecretaryPete about this yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has developed deep knowledge of multiple facets of the law through her experience as a district and circuit judge, public defender, and clerk for Justice Breyer. Her performance in front of the Judiciary Committee was impressive! #ConfirmJackson — PolitiTweet.org

Lawmakers in more than 30 states are pushing legislation targeting LGBTQ+ people, especially trans kids and their loved ones. It’s just plain wrong. I will never stop working to #ProtectTransKids, no matter where they live. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This would be HUGE. I called on @POTUS this week to use the Defense Production Act to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and move us toward a clean energy future. We need bold action to protect our national security while tackling climate chaos. https://t.co/PfxcosrvGg — PolitiTweet.org

And, to be clear, we also need to get rid of Louis DeJoy! — PolitiTweet.org

USPS announced today it is increasing the number of EVs it is purchasing—but EVs will still only make up 20% of its new vehicles. That’s a step, but it’s not enough—we’ll still overwhelmingly be tied to gas-guzzling mail trucks for decades into the future. We must do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The fervor with which the world is showing support for the Ukrainian people and refugees from Ukraine is inspiring to see. It’s how our country and our world should be treating all refugees, no matter their race or where they’re from. https://t.co/1qKwU84Wad — PolitiTweet.org

Grossed out by the thought of plastics in your bloodstream? Me too—this is further proof that plastics are everywhere, threating our health and environment. We need to pass my #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act ASAP! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Judge Jackson wowed the nation with her experience, intellect, and thoughtfulness during her confirmation hearings. Her qualifications are clear, and I'm confident she will ensure the law is enforced evenhandedly to serve ALL people. I look forward to voting to #ConfirmJackson. https://t.co/jCE66m8osE — PolitiTweet.org
