16 million women in the U.S. live below the poverty line.

13 million are uninsured.

This is why we march.

@Conner4Sheila @JudithKMcHale @ezralevin @SenJeffMerkley I used to, as well. I moved. :)

[Ezra Levin @ezralevin]

Merkley deserves a ton of credit for his leadership here. This is good, honest, careful work in response to cynicism, cruelty, and lies.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

If this report of Trump suborning false testimony is confirmed, then Trump committed a felony and must resign or be impeached.

Even in these uncertain times, I continue to believe in fighting for all that is good and decent in America, and am so proud that Oregonians continue to lead that fight.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

After two years, this is what we have: a President who struts around, and surrounds himself with sycophants, and spouts off obvious lies and ridiculous superlatives about himself like a tin-pot dictator. Thankfully, we’re the USA and not a two-bit dictatorship.

[Julie-Anne @PoetrynPotions]

@OregonGovBrown Thank you, Gov. Brown! I suppose when the full effects of the tariffs kick in and the projected recession hits next year, these Trumpsters won't be thanking him. They'll be blaming Dems. The fools believe that a billionaire cares about them, lol.

[Julie-Anne @PoetrynPotions]

Our Jeff Merkley is reportedly seeking a state rules change so he could run for re-election to the Senate and for president concurrently. Yay, Jeff! #maddow

[Julie-Anne @PoetrynPotions]

@OregonGovBrown The outrage over our governor standing up for the state sanctuary law that's 30 YEARS OLD and was reaffirmed by voters is hilarious.Yet, no blasting of Trump for withholding funds that come from our tax money!

[Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown]

The Trump administration’s attempts to withhold public safety dollars from our state is unjust, dangerous, and unconstitutional. All Oregonians, regardless of their immigration status, deserve to have the full protection of our law enforcement. https://t.co/MlVKyTsHiL

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

We need an America that values the dignity of all people, creates opportunity for everyone not just the wealthy, and brings people together instead of inflaming hate and division. That’s what I’m fighting for. What are you fighting for?

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

America is complicit. Stop Saudi arm sales.

@ryanstruyk @CNN Jeff Merkley/Kamala Harris for 2020. That's the ticket!

[Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown]

#FutureReadyOregon will help people obtain good, family-wage jobs - and having a good job is at the core of successful Oregon families. It leads to improved health, quality of life, and opportunity for both parents and kids. https://t.co/HZByjbRTJX

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Why did our Founders write the Emoluments Clause into the Constitution? Because they never wanted the US President to put their own financial interests over the safety of Americans.

.@realDonaldTrump cozies up to dictators and praises strong men for their absolute control. Looks like he is taking a page from their books with this latest attempt to limit public dissent. America: You have until MONDAY to make your voices heard about this outrageous proposal.

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

I fear many survivors will conclude that coming forward with their story will prove pointless, and there is very little likelihood of justice. This signals to boys that even if you engage in violence against women and lie about your conduct, the power structure will protect you.

[Jeff Merkley @JeffMerkley]

The powerful and the privileged called people marching in the streets a “mob.” They’re wrong. America, you have the power and you know what to do. VOTE and take our country back.
