We've still got work to do to fix our broken supply chains, crack down on oil companies and others gouging consumers, and tackle rising prices. But we're on the right track. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

In 14 months we've gone from economic freefall to the fewest unemployment claims in half a century because of @POTUS's American Rescue Plan. Not one Republican voted for it. Not one. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is great news—I wrote the Medical Debt Relief Act to take this step because medical debt is the result of bad luck, not bad decisions. No one should have a mark on their credit when medical bills have been paid. It's past time we fixed this! https://t.co/PT2X0fYDHk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our elections must be determined by the will of the people, not the preferences of the privileged and powerful. @POTUS called on the Senate to pass the DISCLOSE Act and get dark money out of our elections—we’ve got to get this done! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Putin’s war is showing how crucial it is that we stop funding our enemies by getting off oil. @POTUS should reduce our and our allies’ vulnerability to shortages and protect our national security by declaring a climate emergency. https://t.co/nFwTKRcuxm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

You know what’s great about vote by mail? No long lines, no parking snafus, no asking for time off work, no late changes to polling places or broken machines or inadequate staffing designed to make it hard to cast a ballot. Let’s give all Americans the chance to vote by mail! — PolitiTweet.org

Outrageous: stock buybacks by oil and gas companies increased more than 2,000% between last year and this year. They’re raking in record profits at the cost of our pocketbooks and our planet. This is why I support a windfall profits tax! https://t.co/mB5czVKQgZ — PolitiTweet.org

This is the GOP attack on democracy in action: Prevent people from voting by mail and voting early, then rig polling places on Election Day so some voters have long lines, limited hours, no parking, confusing locations, and more. https://t.co/gkSc3eIpLD — PolitiTweet.org

Important thread on the #ChildTaxCredit ahead of Tax Day ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As we push for investments in a clean energy future, we need to acknowledge the reality that so many Americans are feeling pain at the gas pump right now. That’s why I support taxing oil companies’ profits from price gouging and putting that money back in peoples’ pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The alarming uptick in hate crimes against the AAPI community in our country—particularly violent attacks against women—continues. We must address this deadly affliction and keep women safe. That means accountability for individual crimes and laws that better protect everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The attack last year was not an isolated incident—racist violence against the AAPI community in the U.S. is on the rise. Last weekend, an Asian woman was murdered in a hate crime in NY, and so many around the country live in fear because of what they look like. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As I watched President Biden sign the reauthorization of #VAWA into law this afternoon, I thought of the eight people, including six Asian women, who were targeted and killed a year ago today in the Atlanta spa shootings. Their lives were stolen and their loss is still felt. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The ongoing decline in democracy worldwide is alarming. @freedomhouse notes < 20% of the world’s population lives in a free country and even in those places, authoritarians are targeting dissidents and exiles. We need a comprehensive strategy to combat transnational repression. https://t.co/p436K2Wflx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

A port on the rural coast of Oregon could be a key part of the solution to supply chain problems. @RepPeterDeFazio, @RonWyden, and I led the request to @POTUS to use federal funding from the infrastructure bill to create a major new West Coast container port in Coos Bay. https://t.co/jp3H7OFHa7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Honored to be at the White House as @POTUS signed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. Grateful to my colleagues and all of the advocates who worked hard to get this to the finish line. https://t.co/OHtHKjLUIi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I introduced the #EndPriceGouging for Medications Act to cap the cost of Rx drugs and address this huge problem. We need to prevent drug companies from charging Americans more than they charge overseas! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

About 1 in 10 people in our country are diabetic, and insulin costs are sky-high. This is a public health crisis—we need to cap the price of insulin at $35/month, and that critical public health reform is within reach. Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress just approved $14 billion in humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine, and I stand with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people in support of further aid. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The video @ZelenskyyUa showed to Congress today was hard to watch—young children in Ukraine injured, crying out, or killed; the destruction of so many homes; and bodies being dropped into mass graves. Putin’s atrocities are horrific and heartbreaking. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Amidst challenges at home and abroad, there are still moments that make us smile. As a distance runner in high school, this one caught my attention! 4 public HS students broke the national record for the 4x1 mile relay by 30 seconds, all running close to 4 minute miles. Amazing! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

March 15 is the 11th anniversary of Syrians peacefully rising up to demand dignity and freedom but today Syria lies in ruins b/c Russia bombed Syrian cities with the same brutal aggression that it is now pursuing in Ukraine. We must end Putin's decades-long assault on democracy. — PolitiTweet.org
