This is a major step forward for trans and nonbinary kids everywhere in America. All students deserve to feel safe at school and anywhere else—it's as simple as that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So many families need child care to help them get back to work after this pandemic, and it’s why making it easier for families to find quality, affordable child care is one of my top priorities. https://t.co/M1iSvnx9mp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and the progress we've made towards full equality and acceptance since the #Stonewall riots 52 years ago, we know there's still so much work left to do—and we can take a monumental step forward by passing the Equality Act. #Pride https://t.co/3CDdBXAc1B — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s clear that bold action on climate is urgently necessary. That’s why I’ll be fighting to ensure—whether through reconciliation or a bipartisan infrastructure package—that we’re making major investments to combat the climate crisis & promote climate justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

WA state families need to prioritize their health and safety—these temperatures are dangerous, please exercise extra caution right now. I encourage everyone to take advantage of cooling centers around the state & to check in on friends and neighbors. https://t.co/NKvhNeytZ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After a weekend of record-setting temperatures, today will be the hottest day on record for nearly all of Washington state. The climate crisis isn’t some pending existential threat, we’re dealing with it right now. https://t.co/tOubutJDqz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Starting next month, the American Rescue Plan’s expanded #ChildTaxCredit will provide direct relief to the families of over 1 million children in Washington state. Help is here—and it’s going to make a big difference. https://t.co/L4n9gB8n0w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thanks to Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, there can't be restrictions that create an undue burden on the ability to get an abortion—but we know this isn't enough. The right to abortion is under attack and we have to fight every day to protect it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In order to get as many people vaccinated as possible, we have to continue addressing the hesitancy, misinformation, & other issues holding communities back from getting their shots. Facts, science, and trust are essential. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

No parent should have to choose between going to work to get a paycheck or staying home to take care of a sick child. We’ve got to do better by working parents, and we can with a national comprehensive paid leave policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This pandemic won’t end for the U.S. until it’s over for the world. I’m glad @POTUS is prioritizing COVID-19 vaccinations both domestically and internationally by providing millions of excess doses to fight this pandemic globally. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

6 years ago #Obergefell v. Hodges ensured marriage equality was the law of the land—a victory for love and a step forward in progress. Let’s celebrate today and keep fighting until all LGBTQIA+ people have equality and justice. #Pride — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If you’re planning on traveling this summer, @WADeptHealth has helpful resources on how to stay safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic—even if you’re vaccinated. https://t.co/pKaLevoxXL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

You bet, @ufwfoundation. I'm with you in the fight for a fair pathway to citizenship for immigrant workers—including DREAMers, farmworkers, those with temporary protected status, and the many essential, undocumented workers who do so much to keep our country running. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Caregivers—like members of @SEIU—are what make it possible for people with disabilities and older Americans to live at home & lead independent lives. For too long, caregivers have been underpaid, which is why I'm pushing for a bill to make historic investments in home care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I'm spreading awareness about an important piece of the American Rescue Plan: the expansion of the #ChildTaxCredit. This expansion will provide direct, monthly payments to families with children across our state and the country. Visit https://t.co/AByVtxVbwv for more. https://t.co/wIvGF40JFQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So-called 'conversion therapy' is based on the dangerous and prejudiced idea that being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community is an affliction requiring medical treatment. I’m proud to join @SenBooker and @RepTedLieu in introducing a critical bill to help end this practice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Great news for Wenatchee: @USDOT has awarded $92.4M for the Apple Capital Loop. This investment will help complete regional efforts to better connect the community and promote commerce, improve safety, reduce congestion, and help combat climate change. https://t.co/oAQPZRYcht — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Keeping yourself, your loved ones, and your pets safe during the heat wave coming over Washington state is critical. Make sure you’re well prepared for the intense heat. ⤵ https://t.co/fkg71M9tDg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There won’t be an economic recovery until we address the underlying problems that have held so many working families back—including the child care crisis, which my Child Care For Working Families Act aims to fix. https://t.co/nj6UOdlBRF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

To those who are confused or trying to be confusing: contraception and abortion are different but important parts of reproductive health care, and should be available to anyone who wants them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This bold plan is 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 so we can finally address our nation's caregiving crisis. https://t.co/YvqLSv72EU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 is even more contagious and dangerous. According to @CDCgov, it now accounts for 10% of cases in the U.S.—and it’s only going to spread further. That’s why it’s crucial you get vaccinated as soon as you can. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even before this pandemic, too many students were often hungry, experiencing homelessness, and unable to afford basic necessities. That’s unacceptable—every student deserves a quality, affordable education—and it’s why we’ve got to double the Pell Grant. https://t.co/tWPsJBcyiE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The unprecedented heat wave in Washington state and across the PNW is a stark reminder of the urgency to tackle the climate crisis head-on—and that work must center environmental justice so that communities of color don't bear the brunt of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats are working to build an economy that works for everyone. The PRO Act—which ensures that all workers can exercise their right to join a union and collectively bargain for better pay, safe workplaces, and a fair share of economic growth—is a critical piece of that effort. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today two of my bills to improve the lives of veterans in WA state & across the country were discussed at a Senate hearing. I'm glad these bills—which would address the long-term care needs of veterans & ensure access to critical fertility treatments—are moving forward. https://t.co/Z7SI9NDuQc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thanks @hunger for explaining how our bill would stop child hunger. Hunger doesn’t take time off when school buildings are closed, so neither can we. https://t.co/RlOv70EAZU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Former President Trump diverting money away from Naval Base Kitsap for his border wall was an egregious abuse of power. I'm so glad @POTUS has returned this funding so our servicemembers have the infrastructure and support they need for critical missions. https://t.co/CVbVZj0eDZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today we celebrate 49 yrs of #TitleIX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in schools—& I'm so pleased @usedgov ensured LGBTQIA+ students receive the same protection. But we have a lot more work to do to ensure campuses are truly safe & inclusive for ALL students. — PolitiTweet.org
