This is the alarming reality we are facing right now—and why taking action on the climate crisis is an urgent priority. https://t.co/gw7Y49tVMy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After a pandemic & economic crisis, shouldn’t we build back our nation stronger & fairer? That’s not a trick question, & it shouldn’t be a hard one. The answer is obvious to anyone who's been listening to people back home—& it's why I'm going to fight to get this budget passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This budget invests in: ✅ National paid leave ✅ Affordable child care ✅ Universal Pre-K ✅ Free community college ✅ Job training ✅ Climate action ✅ Health care ✅ Public health ✅ Affordable housing ✅ Home & community-based services ✅ A pathway to citizenship — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats' proposed budget is all about rebuilding our country stronger and fairer than it was before—picking up where the bipartisan infrastructure package leaves off by making bold investments in all of our infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm speaking on the Senate floor in support of our proposed budget. When disaster strikes—like an earthquake or hurricane—the first thing we do is work to keep people safe. But that’s far from the last thing we do. When the storm has passed—we rebuild. https://t.co/oURvFfnCAh — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 Reminder: Now is the time to get affordable health coverage. The @WAplanfinder Special Enrollment period for health care coverage is open for one more week until August 15. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We’ve got a historic opportunity to finally establish a national paid family and medical leave program thanks to the work of so many advocates across the country. Democrats are committed to getting this done, and we won’t stop fighting until we accomplish paid leave for all. https://t.co/zwee1Cj10K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As we confront more and more extreme weather events it is abundantly clear that bold action on climate is urgently necessary—and I'll keep working to make sure we take steps to protect our planet for current and future generations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If you’re in an area of high COVID-19 transmission, make sure you mask up and take precautions—like getting vaccinated—to help keep yourself and those around you safe. 😷 https://t.co/GqMLMdPHYz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Families have had to pay too much for child care for too long. It needs to be affordable, easy to find, and child care workers need to make better wages. RT if you agree that it's time we finally fix our nation's child care crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Everyone deserves the right to make their own choices about their body. But extreme Republicans are doing everything they can to make it harder for people to get abortion care. We must keep fighting against these attacks and tear down harmful barriers to reproductive health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As the daughter of a WWII veteran & Purple Heart recipient, I know the sacrifices our women & men in uniform make each and every day. I’m thankful for those who answered the call to serve & put their lives on the line to defend our country. #PurpleHeartDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Fixing our child care crisis is essential to reopening our economy. We've got to get this done for working families. https://t.co/y9geqitICx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The student loan repayment pause has been a lifeline for families in WA state & across the country. I pushed to extend the pause, & I’m glad @usedgov acted today to do so. This is a good & needed step, and we need to do more to get urgently needed relief to borrowers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Spread the word: the COVID-19 vaccines are free regardless of whether or not you have health insurance. https://t.co/zhK1YEFTqS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SenBobCasey is right—when it comes to caring for people with disabilities and older Americans, our country has to do better. The #BetterCareBetterJobs Act would help them thrive by investing in home and community-based services—and the workforce that provides them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Protecting the right to vote is essential to making sure our democracy stays a democracy. That is as true today as it was 56 years ago when the Voting Rights Act was passed. I will do everything possible to strengthen voting rights & give power back to the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I spoke with @mainstreetweets, @PaidLeaveUS, and small business owners from across WA state and the country about the need to pass a national paid family and medical leave program. Without a national paid leave program, we’re putting our small businesses at a disadvantage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

According to a recent @NPWF report, our nation’s lack of care policies—including a national paid leave program—costs our economy $650B each year because women are forced out of the workforce. Fixing this is critical to supporting our small businesses & our economic recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For too long, families in Washington state and across the country have struggled to find and afford child care. That has got to change. We have a historic opportunity to make child care available and affordable for every working family and I'm determined to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm proud to have recommended Judge Dimke for the federal bench in Spokane and glad to see her nomination by @POTUS. Judge Dimke has a long history of serving with fairness & distinction that I’m certain will continue in this new role. https://t.co/mvrRbV4Teu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my friend, Rich Trumka. To say he was a champion for workers is an understatement—he dedicated his life to strengthening workers’ rights & rooting out systemic inequities & racism. My heart goes out to his family during this time. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The climate crisis is here and we can't waste any time taking action. That's why I worked to make sure the bipartisan infrastructure package is a first step towards transitioning to clean energy, cutting carbon emissions, and building more climate-resilient infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congratulations on your maiden speech in the U.S. Senate, @SenMarkKelly! I'm grateful for your work on behalf of Arizona's working families. https://t.co/98xnAdoAHP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For years, extreme politicians have chipped away at the right to abortion by peddling disinformation & working to make it out of reach. But let’s be clear: whether & how you choose to have a family is just that—your choice & no one should be allowed to take that away from you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I voted against the authorization of the Iraq War in 2002 because I didn’t believe the President had a clear mission or endgame strategy. That was the right call then—and repealing both war authorizations and reclaiming our authority over when to go to war is the right call now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’ve heard from moms who can’t go to job interviews due to the lack of affordable child care, or lost a paycheck because they had to care for a loved one. If we’re serious about rebuilding fairer & stronger for women, we must address these crucial issues. https://t.co/laAvpxK17i — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The fact that we’re the only developed country without a national paid leave program is a disgrace. But the upcoming budget reconciliation bill is our chance to change that, & I’m fighting alongside @SpeakerPelosi, @PaidLeaveforAll, & so many others to get it done. https://t.co/1v1a4HK2VG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT @SenateDems: No family in America should have to make the awful choice of taking care of loved ones or putting food on the table. WATCH… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Heading to the @PaidLeaveforAll #BusTour today to talk about how a national paid family and medical leave program isn't just good for working families—it’s good for our economy. Now is our moment to get this done. #PaidLeaveForAll — PolitiTweet.org
