Reproductive health care is under attack. Today the Missouri legislature is debating taking away birth control coverage from women with low incomes. The lengths extreme politicians go to to control women's choices are terrifying—& it's why we've got to keep fighting back. — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic has made clear just how important paid leave is. Now more than ever, workers and businesses—large and small—see the value of paid leave and how it hurts our economy not to have a national program. That's why I'm focused on making it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state’s airports are vital to our economy. After a devastating year for the industry, I'm glad the American Rescue Plan is providing over $217 million in relief to help keep workers on payroll, passengers on planes, & shipments in the skies. https://t.co/YAejpkSVpT — PolitiTweet.org

Getting vaccinated doesn’t just help you stay safe, it helps us get back to school, back to work, and back to the things we enjoy most without people having to fear getting sick from a virus that has killed over 600,000 people in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Establishing a strong, federal public option would force insurance companies to compete, bring drug companies and health care providers to the table, and ultimately drive down health care costs for families regardless of how they are covered. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have to stay motivated and help as many people in Washington state get vaccinated against COVID-19 as possible. You can find a vaccine near you at https://t.co/WN17Aix3qz https://t.co/9uEWLb1jpe — PolitiTweet.org

The American Jobs Plans includes historic investments in home- and community- based care that would help uphold the #Olmstead v. L.C. decision & ensure all people with disabilities can live an independent life in their own community. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today Senate Republicans refused to even have a debate on the #ForThePeople Act. This kind of obstruction on something as foundational to our democracy as voting rights is absolutely shameful, and so I want to be absolutely clear: this is not the end of the road. https://t.co/jGDMBMLFgQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Like @SenatorWarnock said, our push to pass the #ForThePeople Act and protect voting rights “is not just another vote in another Congress.” It's the most important thing we’re going to vote on—because it’s a vote to protect our democracy and preserve it for future generations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE NOW: @SeeMiaRoll from @CAPDisability and I are discussing the anniversary of #Olmstead v. L.C., what it means to the disability community, and how the American Jobs Plan would help uphold the rights affirmed by this decision. https://t.co/qNpajsTwl0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today the Senate is voting on the #ForThePeople Act. I’m voting yes, and the reason is simple: When you restrict people's votes—like Republicans are doing across the country—you restrict their voices. A democracy cannot succeed if people are not allowed to speak. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The 700,000 residents of Washington, D.C. shouldn't be denied their right to fully participate in our democracy. The Senate needs to pass #DCStatehood and finally give the residents of our Nation's Capital a voice in their government. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The rapid spread of the delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 is a reminder this pandemic is not over. This variant is more contagious, more likely to send you to the hospital, & already spreading across the U.S. That’s why it’s so important you get vaccinated. https://t.co/9AL90E0wp5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

To achieve our goals, we must continue the hard work of increasing access to vaccines, tearing down barriers to getting vaccinated, addressing misinformation, and building trust within our communities. Today’s witnesses will help inform us on this continued journey. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even with the remarkable progress we’ve made, vaccination rates have continued to slow in recent weeks. We have to stop this pandemic. We have to do it soon. And we know vaccines are the best shot we have. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While the progress we’ve made so far is promising, it hasn’t been consistent. Some states may have vaccinated over 70% of adults with one dose, while others haven’t even reached 50%. And we’ve seen many states fall especially behind in rural communities & communities of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE: I’m chairing a Senate HELP Committee hearing on our nation’s shot at ending the COVID-19 pandemic—vaccines. We’ve made great progress towards getting 70% of adults vaccinated with their first dose, but we’re still only at 65%. We can’t stop now. https://t.co/pVawIeKRjf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Detaining and shackling pregnant immigrants is immoral, heartless, and dangerous—and it must never be the policy of the U.S. @RepSylviaGarcia and I introduced a bill to ensure pregnant women in DHS' care are treated with dignity & justice & get the health care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For too long, the $15 billion college sports industry has been a glaring example of economic, gender, & racial inequity. The NCAA profits off of college athletes & should’ve compensated them long ago. Today’s SCOTUS decision is a step in the right direction for college athletes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Spread the word: families with low incomes that don't have to file taxes are still eligible for monthly payments from the #ChildTaxCredit. https://t.co/guiT20qXNX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Worried about the variants of the virus that causes COVID-19? @CDCgov has helpful information on how they’re tracking these variants and the threats they may pose. https://t.co/f6mVPjbD8n — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's simple: democracy cannot succeed if people are not allowed to speak through their votes. That's why we've got to pass the #ForThePeople Act. https://t.co/TglkgZZcp0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Starting July 15, working families will start to get monthly checks from the extended #ChildTaxCredit. This will not only help cut child poverty in half, but it'll put money directly into the pockets of families. Click below to make sure you're signed up. https://t.co/Lu9LzoZwRW — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t forget the @WAplanfinder health insurance Special Enrollment Period is open through August 15th. And thanks to the American Rescue Plan, you could save even more money on health insurance premiums. Find a plan at https://t.co/VpIwaM42Mw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We can’t stand on the sidelines as Republicans across the country work to limit—in unprecedented ways—peoples’ access to the polls. We must use every tool to fight back & assure our democracy remains strong and intact for future generations. We must pass the #ForThePeople Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even before this pandemic, pursuing a higher education was out of reach for too many students. They were left with historic amounts of student loan debt—and were often unable to afford basic needs. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that we have to do better. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Father's Day to the dads in Washington state and across the country. It's been a long, hard year but know that I'm doing everything I can in the Senate to support working families and ensure we come back from this pandemic stronger and fairer. — PolitiTweet.org
