Extreme Republicans have been working nonstop to chip away at the right to abortion. We must continue to stand together to defend reproductive health care every step of the way. https://t.co/q45OprFXMp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Experts agree: the better funded & prepared our public health system is before a crisis, the more lives we'll save during one—& it's why I've introduced legislation to build & maintain our nation’s public health infrastructure at every level. https://t.co/r6hDyn4pIo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Administration’s detention of pregnant & postpartum migrant women was a heartless & dangerous policy that put the health of mothers & infants at risk. I’m grateful @POTUS is putting an end to this immoral practice—& I'll keep working to make these protections permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

This wildfire season has already been a devastating one for Washington state, and it’s why fully funding the federal government’s wildland firefighting resources is my immediate priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The expanded #ChildTaxCredit payments will start to go out this week! If you don't file taxes, make sure your family has signed up and choose the best option for you. https://t.co/1JCJwRhuwz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Workers of color are less likely to have access to paid leave, and women of color, who tend to have significant care responsibilities, suffer most from this inequity. We need to close that gap and establish a national paid leave program for all workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People shouldn't have to choose between a higher education and mountains of student loan debt. That's why I'm working to make higher education more affordable with free community college, doubling the amount of Pell grants, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s clear the vaccines are doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing—saving lives. Too many people are still tragically dying due to COVID-19, and these shots are our best tool for preventing that. https://t.co/UWTKG1501o — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I keep hearing it from families across Washington state: parents can’t go back to work until they can find and afford child care. We have momentum on our side to make needed investments in child care and I’ll do everything I can to get it over the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As droughts & wildfire seasons become more severe as a result of climate change, we must take decisive action to curb emissions & tackle the climate crisis head on. The upcoming infrastructure package is the opportunity to take bold action—& I don’t intend to let it pass us by. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The pause on student loan payments has been a lifeline for families in Washington state and across the country. Borrowers need enough time to prepare before resuming payments, and I will keep pushing to extend the student loan payment pause. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Federal funding for WA state will work to make sanitary water systems accessible for everyone. Ensuring access to clean water for our families will be a priority for me in any upcoming infrastructure legislation. https://t.co/HrfRDQDVwu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After a years-long fight beside the Washington state students who were cheated by these schools, I’m glad we were finally able to get them the loan-relief they are owed. https://t.co/Cieff09rzB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Next week, families will start to receive their expanded #ChildTaxCredit payments from the American Rescue Plan. If you still have questions about what that means, want to check your eligibility, or want to sign-up if you don't normally file taxes, visit https://t.co/1JCJwRz5o7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The pandemic has pushed people to the brink in many ways, especially when it comes to housing. If you're struggling to make rent or pay your mortgage, check out these resources—we don’t want to leave any money on the table that can help keep someone housed https://t.co/dpdroOweop — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #BetterCareBetterJobs Act is a bold plan that's good for people with disabilities and older Americans, good for caregivers, and good for our economy—and I’ll be fighting as hard as I can to get it across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Please get vaccinated to help end this pandemic and curb the spread of dangerous variants of the virus that causes COVID-19—including the delta variant. https://t.co/opqVnIiR8E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our nation’s current federal minimum wage just simply isn’t enough for workers across the country struggling to make ends meet. We need to #RaiseTheWage to $15/hour on the federal level and end subminimum wages for tipped & youth workers, and workers with disabilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have an opportunity to pass a comprehensive national paid leave program for workers across the country. We have to get it done—because making sure workers can care for themselves or a sick loved one, without losing a paycheck, shouldn’t be controversial. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Building back fairer & stronger isn’t possible without addressing the underlying issues that hold working families back, like child care & the lack of a national paid leave policy—the same issues @rosadelauro & I have been fighting to fix for years. https://t.co/u1TAXGdfkQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As the delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 continues to spread—a strain that’s more contagious and potentially more dangerous—we have to act fast to help slow down the spread. Our best shot at doing that is to make sure we continue to get people vaccinated quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

During this pandemic, working families—but in particular working women—have struggled to care for their children while also keeping a job. If we truly want our economy to recover, we simply can’t afford to ignore our nation’s child care crisis. https://t.co/Dq9a9wRjHz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s unconscionable to use electric shock devices as a form of punishment for people with disabilities—full stop. I’m disappointed to see this important rule struck down, but I’ll keep fighting to protect people with disabilities from archaic & inhumane forms of punishment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The majority of Americans don’t agree with extreme Republicans who want to limit people's ability to get the health care they need—including abortion. We have to make our voices heard & keep speaking out to protect reproductive health care across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The record heat waves & historic drought have made potential wildfires in Washington state a serious threat. I'll keep doing everything I can at the federal level to secure the necessary resources to support drought resiliency, fight current wildfires, and prevent future ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We should be pursuing policies that make it easier for student loan borrowers to access debt relief. That's why I led 22 Democrats in encouraging @SecCardona to expand debt relief programs and guidelines for student loan borrowers. https://t.co/nKfUS3mD18 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I worked across the aisle to ban surprise medical bills, because no patient seeking the care they need should get hit with an unexpected, exorbitant bill for out-of-network care. I'm glad the Biden Administration is working diligently to implement it. https://t.co/pPORgGyrIt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After years of talking about the issues affecting working families every day, like child care, paid leave, and so much more, we're finally taking action to fix them. And I'm so glad to have a wonderful partner like @rosadelauro alongside me in this fight. https://t.co/LGyhysFYJz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Free community college for every student is a bold first step we can take right now to make college more affordable and provide students pathways to higher education and workforce training without debt—and I’m working hard to get it across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org
