It is shameful. The U.N. Secretary General should not allow himself to be a part of China’s propaganda. The U.N. must stand against China’s human rights abuses.https://t.co/0n4gWfD2SS — PolitiTweet.org

More than 900,000 people have died from Covid-19 in America. This is a profound loss: family members, community leaders, treasured friends. The reverberations are being felt every day, in a million different ways. Holding in my heart all those who are grieving. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, Robin! I admire your leadership on sustainability and environmental justice in Oregon and you are perfect for this role. I look forward to supporting your work to protect vulnerable communities at @EPA. — PolitiTweet.org

Lawmakers are the ones putting policies on the books that impact the market—we should not be able to buy and sell stock while in office. It's past time we banned this blatant conflict of interest, and I'm working to get it done in the Senate. https://t.co/T6E02vU4Gs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Is this 2022 or 1891? The Supreme Court has become the Superdiscriminators, reinstating rigged congressional districts to minimize Black political power—appalling and tragic. — PolitiTweet.org

Big News: The IRS today said they would move away from using facial recognition technology for folks accessing their tax information online. This is the right decision, and I will continue to monitor this situation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I was one of the first members of Congress to publicly advocate for these sanctions in the bill I introduced last February, and @janschakowsky introduced similar legislation in the House. Read more about it here ⬇️ https://t.co/e6Ua48sezd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today, a year after I introduced the Honduras Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Act, the State Department finally made public its sanctions against former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández for corruption and narcotrafficking. — PolitiTweet.org

An important read on how legacy and donor preference in the college admissions process tips the scales toward wealthy, white students. We need to pass @RepBowman’s and my Fair College Admissions for Students Act, a key step forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Lawmakers should be dedicated to working for the American public—not to serving their private stock portfolios. That’s why I’m fighting to get the Ban Conflicted Trading Act passed. Lawmakers shouldn’t be able to trade stocks while in office. It’s a clear conflict of interest. — PolitiTweet.org

Voting by mail works in Oregon AND it works in red states like Utah. This shouldn’t be partisan—expanding vote by mail is about making it easier for every American to have a voice in our elections, no matter who they vote for. — PolitiTweet.org

Holding Austin Smith, his loved ones, and the whole St. Paul community in my heart. Firefighters like Austin take on dangerous work to serve and protect their communities, and my thoughts are with all those mourning this heartbreaking loss. https://t.co/SvJVVv104f — PolitiTweet.org

College applicants who start the process with alumni and donor connections to a school are the last people who need extra help in the complicated and competitive admissions process. @RepBowman's and my bill will end legacy and donor preference.https://t.co/Ie069ue5ri — PolitiTweet.org

“The lasting impact of these Games must not be to celebrate China. It must be to scrutinize its leadership.” Important to understand China’s heinous human rights violations as the Winter Olympics begin. https://t.co/fyA12rPVhn — PolitiTweet.org

Folks in Oregon have voted by mail—it’s quick and easy. I’ve heard from people who like the convenience of the opportunity to read about candidates and vote from their kitchen table. Oregonians: How does voting by mail work for you? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@DataProgress polling shows that 67% of voters support banning members of Congress from trading stocks. I totally agree—it’s a blatant conflict of interest. That’s why I introduced the Ban Conflicted Trading Act, and why I’m fighting to get it passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I was there. It wasn't "legitimate political discourse." It was an armed attempt to throw out election results, an insurrection against the peaceful transfer of power. Everyone who participated, including elected officials, needs to be held accountable. https://t.co/XVFtZg1jhW — PolitiTweet.org

If congressional staff want to form a union, I'm all for it. Dedicated members of our staff work hard to keep Congress running, and, like all workers, have the right to unionize and have a voice in their workplace. — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see the White House supporting permanent legal status for families separated at the border. The Trump policy was cruel and senseless. We must reunite and support families and reform our immigration system to respect the dignity of every person. https://t.co/QZPUQfMEhp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Colleges shouldn’t give special treatment to children of alumni and donors. @RepBowman and I introduced the Fair College Admissions for Students Act to ban legacy and donor preference and make the admissions process fairer. https://t.co/A8HPQuA5m9 — PolitiTweet.org
