This is good news for our environment and our transition to a clean energy future. To make a meaningful change, we can't continue to tether ourselves to the dirty energy of the past. https://t.co/7Alx3Kn6rZ — PolitiTweet.org

The talking filibuster incentivizes negotiation, brings public accountability to Senate debates, and will stop the unending Senate gridlock to deliver for the people. If you vote for more debate, you should have to show up and debate. It’s that simple. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Antisemitism is on the rise in the US and around the world. As we say #NeverAgain today, we must put those words into action by calling out antisemitism in our own communities and by continuing to teach about the Holocaust, honoring the memory of the victims and their loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, the 77th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and a time to remember and honor the lives of the six million Jewish people and millions of other victims who were targeted and murdered during the Holocaust. #WeRemember — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

In Congress, I’ll continue to advocate for my #KeepItInTheGround Act, strong climate provisions as part of Build Back Better, and other bold climate action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

In addition, they should launch a massive solar project to expand solar silicon and solar panel manufacturing in America. Rebuilding the clean energy economy must also create good paying American jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The administration must make good on their commitment to tackle climate chaos and stop approving new oil and gas projects. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We’ve made progress on tackling climate chaos, but there’s more work to be done. We need to pass bold climate action as part of Build Back Better and the Biden administration needs to use every tool available to them. They should start by declaring a Climate Emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I'm pleased to see the administration doing what they can to slow drilling in the Arctic Refuge through executive authority. But to fully protect the Arctic Refuge, we need to pass the language in Build Back Better. The same is true for drilling on the Outer Continental shelf. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The work to restore national monuments is so important to protecting our national treasures, and aligns with work we’re doing in Congress, like my Smith River National Recreation Area Expansion Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Another critical issue in Oregon is wildfires and the impact of wildfire smoke. This administration's focus on climate impacts at home and abroad has allowed agencies to focus more on wildfire smoke, including piloting the smoke shelter concept in Multnomah County. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’ve long been a champion of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in Oregon, which the Trump admin targeted. They ultimately did not act to shrink it, but Biden's restoration of Bears Ears and the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts monuments says Oregon monuments are here to stay. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The initial pause on oil and gas leasing also stood out to me—but we need a permanent ban. We cannot tell the rest of the world to stop projects while we are locking in new projects at home that tie us to dirty energy for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Updating the social cost of GHGs can make a huge impact if we do it right—I’m committed to working with the administration on that. Justice40 is also key—our climate action must be rooted in environmental justice, and every community should see the benefits of clean energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Climate chaos is the challenge of our time, and I was heartened to see President Biden take action through executive orders. Finally killing Keystone XL was hugely important. — PolitiTweet.org

American Rescue Plan + the bipartisan infrastructure bill = $$$ for American families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Ex-coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler got this right in his hearing this morning: I do NOT support his nomination to be Virginia's Secretary of Natural Resources. I called on him to resign from @EPA, where he gutted the Clean Air Act. He'd do the same to VA's environmental protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Oregon’s fisheries are the lifeblood of our coastal communities—and their economies. As we work to recover from the health and economic impacts of Covid-19, I’m focused on making sure that this critical industry has the support it needs. https://t.co/N33bafLRV2 — PolitiTweet.org

I joined my colleagues to urge the Biden administration to request $17B in supplemental funding to increase global COVID-19 vaccine access. Nobody wants another variant. We must improve vaccine equity worldwide to protect the progress we’ve made at home.https://t.co/a6DqlvqX4m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

SCOTUS is threatening decades of progress for Black and Brown students, while preserving special preferences for the best-off. Next week, @RepBowman and I will introduce a bill to ban legacy and donor preferences in college admissions—which will ACTUALLY make the process fairer. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you for your service and your work to move our nation forward, Justice Breyer. I look forward to considering @POTUS's nominee and fulfilling my constitutional role to advise and consent on SCOTUS nominees. https://t.co/jQXVU48zDq — PolitiTweet.org

Climate chaos already threatens our health, community, and environment. Republicans want to gut the #CleanAirAct, and they're trying to get the Supreme Court to do their dirty work. I joined 190+ colleagues in support of @EPA’s mission to protect human health and the environment. https://t.co/TXCe75aGB5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’m very sad to learn of Frank Moore’s passing, and I’m keeping his loved ones and community in my hearts and thoughts today. Frank was a World War II veteran, a legendary fly fisherman, and a conservation champion. He is so missed. https://t.co/SZNCQ5cMue — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

For years I've said elected officials should be working for the people, not for their portfolios. Holding individual stocks influences how members think about bills and tax laws that could impact their value—we need to ban this clear conflict of interest. https://t.co/Lci5eJTZpM — PolitiTweet.org
