The American Rescue Plan helped stabilize our child care sector during this pandemic. But we have to take bold action to make sure that as we rebuild our economy, every working family can find quality, affordable child care. — PolitiTweet.org

Building an immune response from the COVID-19 vaccines takes time. Make sure you know the timeline for when you’re fully vaccinated. https://t.co/96G2LiNjzB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As we commemorate the end of slavery this #Juneteenth, we must also do the hard work to end systemic racism everywhere it persists and address longstanding inequities Black people face in everyday life—and I’m committed to continuing that work in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Bridging the digital divide would be an investment in our families, our workforce, and our overall competitiveness in a 21st century economy. We owe it to Washington state families and their futures to get this bipartisan bill passed. #DigitalEquityNow https://t.co/h54kTaqL15 — PolitiTweet.org

Who would benefit from a comprehensive national paid leave policy? Spoiler alert: everyone—but especially working families. Let's get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Building back fairer and stronger means investing in public health infrastructure that ensures we learn from the mistakes of this pandemic. I’m working on bipartisan efforts to make sure we’re prepared to quickly and safely address future public health crises. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The COVID-19 vaccines are working. We have to make sure everyone is getting vaccinated in every single state across the country. https://t.co/MSfzNHP50D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have a lot of work to do to make sure every single student has the opportunity to achieve a higher education in a safe environment and free from debt. I remain committed to working with my colleagues to make it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We knew even before this pandemic that so many college students were hanging on by a thread. The American Rescue Plan helped bring relief to students and their institutions, but if we truly want to help students succeed—then we have to do more than simply return to normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For students, this pandemic has disrupted their classrooms and housing security, challenged their mental health, upended the economy, and created more uncertainty for students already struggling to pay for tuition, rent, food, and other basic needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

During this pandemic, colleges and universities had to close campuses and services, rapidly transition to online education, and implement critical public health measures—all while facing budget shortfalls. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I chaired a Senate HELP Committee hearing on supporting the needs of students in higher education during COVID-19 and safely returning to campus as we build back fairer and stronger. https://t.co/2Yld7lo2g1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's official: #Juneteenth is a federal holiday. So many Black Americans have celebrated this important day for years and I’m glad it's finally getting the recognition it deserves—but this is just one small step. We still must do the work to end racial injustice in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@morethanmySLE Thank you @morethanmySLE—and I couldn't agree more. I'm proud to be in this fight with you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We’ve still got parents across the country who can’t afford or find child care. Let's finally take long overdue action to #BuildUpChildCare and pass my Child Care For Working Families Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

With this existential threat to the health coverage and protections so many people rely on finally put to rest and a President who actually believes health care should be a right, not a privilege—we need to seize this opportunity to build on past progress with bold solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The COVID-19 pandemic has made painfully clear we have more to do to ensure every person in this country can get quality, affordable health care. That’s why I am working with @FrankPallone on comprehensive legislation to establish a federal public option for health coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While I hope this victory for families is the final chapter in Republicans’ long, damaging campaign to undermine the health care hundreds of millions of people rely on, I know our work to help patients is far from over. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The health care ruling is cause for celebration—but it should also be a call to further action, not an excuse for complacency. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE: I’m chairing a Senate HELP Committee hearing on supporting the needs of students in higher education during COVID-19 and safely returning to campus as we build back fairer and stronger. https://t.co/MZ0h9Wl0Gw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is a huge victory for so many students and families—but it's just step one. With so many Republican politicians attacking transgender students’ rights, I’ll keep fighting to protect LGBTQIA+ students & ensure they have equal opportunity at school, free from discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today at a Senate hearing, I made the case for passing legislation to protect the #WildOlympics. After years of collaboration with local stakeholders & a shared commitment to preserving WA’s incredible rivers & forests, I’m thrilled we’re one step closer to getting this done. https://t.co/Be8hwMsiWa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Students should never be forced to give up their higher education dreams because they can’t afford it. Doubling the Pell Grant award and indexing it to inflation would be a significant step in helping to make sure college is within reach for more students. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A critical part of our nation's pandemic response is to address the racial disparities COVID-19 has shone a light on. I’m working to make sure we build back stronger and fairer as we address these inequities and the long-term effects of this pandemic.    https://t.co/6Vg87rBCx0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For too long, former Secretary DeVos did nothing to protect defrauded student loan borrowers. Today's action from Biden's @usedgov & @SecCardona will finally put struggling borrowers before predatory for-profit colleges and provide relief that has been desperately needed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Roe v. Wade & a person's ability to exercise their constitutional right to control their body is under attack. I'm so glad @JudiciaryDems is taking action with today's hearing about the #WHPA & how it will protect reproductive rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thanks to Pell Grants, I was able to graduate from @wsu—but today’s students are being asked to pay more for college with far less financial support. I’m working to help make college more affordable by doubling the Pell Grant & expanding who is eligible. https://t.co/Ai9Jovagk8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Senate came together to unanimously pass a resolution declaring #Juneteenth a national holiday. So many Americans have celebrated this important day for years—and I’m glad we’re on the path to finally give this day the recognition it deserves. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After years of proposed budget cuts & school privatization efforts under former Secretary DeVos, the investments requested in the President & @SecCardona’s @usedgov budget are a much-needed breath of fresh air. Tune in as we discuss the FY2022 request: https://t.co/RWV15am3Ag — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The natural treasures of the #WildOlympics—like the breathtaking views and stunning scenery—are truly the heart of Olympic Peninsula and its economy, community, and heritage. We have to get this bill passed and protect this important land. — PolitiTweet.org
