Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It is unfathomable that for months, Senate Republicans have neglected the cries of our constituents for a COVID-19 relief package that meets this moment, but within hours of Justice Ginsburg's passing they jumped into action to confirm another Supreme Court justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There is so much we need to do to ensure Bi+ & all LGBTQIA+ people have equal protection under our laws. Know that I see you, I hear you, and I will keep fighting with you to ensure our nation lives up to its ideals of acceptance and equality for all. #BiVisibilityDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Protections for patients w/ pre-ex conditions. Medicaid expansion. Caps on patients’ out-of-pocket costs. All of this & more could be ripped away if Pres. Trump nominates another anti-health care justice to the Supreme Court & Republicans win their partisan health care lawsuit. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For the past 194 days, our justice system has failed Breonna Taylor & her family—& that is especially true today. We desperately need to reform the systems that allowed this to happen, and that can start by passing the #JusticeInPolicing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'll be doing absolutely everything I can to make sure everyone from WA state to Washington DC—& Senate Republicans—knows just how much is at risk if President Trump gets to appoint another hard-right nominee an unprecedented 41 days before a presidential election. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate Republicans are ignoring the cries of people speaking out because nothing is more important to them than packing our courts to ensure that we can't make progress to defend affordable health care, address the climate crisis, strengthen workers' protections, & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The next President should choose Justice Ginsburg’s replacement—as she wished—to spare our democracy the painful chaos of making such a decision so close to an election. For the future of our country—the people must have a voice in this nomination. https://t.co/kwWnXLJSjl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Of the 3 @USEEOC nominations under consideration, Jocelyn Samuels is the only one who has a track record of defending workers. I urge the Senate to join me in supporting her nomination. https://t.co/DAV28NQJ5F — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT @ReproRights: Thank you, @PattyMurray for your tireless work to protect people's access to abortion care. We're lucky to have champions… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The American people are counting on public health leaders and experts to uphold sound scientific principles and the work of agency scientists. It's critical that we know about the political pressure these experts and agencies have been under and what is being done to resist it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The reality is that cases & deaths are still alarmingly high; testing & contact tracing are frustratingly inadequate; Black, Latino, & Tribal communities & other communities of color still face severe health disparities; & we need to prepare for the upcoming flu season. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So much has changed since the early days of the COVID-19 crisis. But one thing hasn’t changed: President Trump is still putting politics ahead of public health. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Speaking in a Senate committee hearing with members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force about how President Trump's political interference is sabotaging the work of our scientists and public health experts. https://t.co/gUyPV7BzKE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So saddened to hear about the passing of Tacoma barrier-breaker Harold Moss. A local civil rights icon, Pierce County and Washington state are better for his life in public service and bold, tireless pursuit of equality. Rest well, Mayor. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's more important than ever that everyone makes their voice heard and votes in the upcoming election. This #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, Washington state residents can update their information and check registration at https://t.co/HTQwEAcNRj. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm glad @US_FDA is planning to release standards for granting vaccines an emergency authorization like I pushed for—but w/ the Trump Admin's constant political interference I'm taking nothing for granted. I introduced the STOP Act to provide needed transparency & accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Given how many Republicans have said we need to be listening to the experts and following the science, my bill with @SenSchumer to do just that should not be controversial—it should be commonsense. And yet when I brought it up to the floor for a vote today, the GOP blocked it. https://t.co/MMl1DDnzpi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I was just on the Senate floor to block a GOP attempt to restrict access to medication abortion. This bill wasn’t about science, health care, or what is best for women. It was about Republicans wanting to undermine reproductive rights. Not on my watch. https://t.co/jLfQhFUoM5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Know that Democrats won't stop for a minute to hold the GOP accountable for their hypocrisy. And while we may be in an uphill battle, everyone who speaks up matters. Every voice is going to make a difference and we should never underestimate that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When health care matters perhaps more than it ever has, GOP leaders are refusing to stand up to the President on issues as stark as political interference in a public health agency, & are ignoring their own claims about pre-ex conditions and the impacts of this pandemic. https://t.co/INQwZyId8R — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The 200,000 Americans who have died from COVID-19 are more than numbers—they are parents, children, coworkers, & friends. @realdonaldtrump and @senatemajldr have downplayed this crisis at every turn, and I'll fight every day to hold them accountable. https://t.co/XTwwMXv4s7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

ICYMI—I spoke with @MSNBC's @HallieJackson about the consequences of the Trump Administration's political interference in our nation's COVID-19 response, why the Senate should wait until the American people have their next President before filling RBG's seat, and more. https://t.co/Z7aRtHHbk3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Now is the time for every Republican who has said they trust the experts and believe we must follow the science to prove they meant it by supporting this legislation. You cannot be for science if you’re silent about political interference in our pandemic response. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need transparency & accountability from top to bottom, & we need it now—before it is too late to prevent more costly mistakes. This bill would fight back against political interference by the Trump Admin in the work of experts and the nation’s public health agencies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's clear that the Trump Admin won’t stop the political interference which is threatening our response to this pandemic and putting lives in jeopardy on its own, so it is up to Congress to act. Here's my bill w/@SenSchumer to hold this Admin accountable: https://t.co/oSHQzg0JHB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Spread the word: Washington state producers impacted by recent wildfires can learn more about available recovery programs from @usdafsa and @USDA_NRCS tomorrow, Sept 22, at 9amPT during a live event. https://t.co/OzGK5YDH04 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SenatorCantwell & I are urging @DHSOIG to immediately investigate the horrifying reports of forced hysterectomies at a privately-run ICE facility in Georgia—and the reproductive health policies and practices of all ICE facilities. https://t.co/4PgHBmhIqm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Point Roberts & similarly unique communities have faced some of the most difficult economic challenges brought on by the COVID-19 travel restrictions. I introduced a bill that would provide immediate relief to help local small businesses.  https://t.co/6T5LUA4nZF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Now more than ever, it's important to have leaders who are fighting to make the world more fair and just—and that is what @RepJayapal does every day. Happy Birthday, Pramila. I'm grateful to have a partner like you in this fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

One of the first cases SCOTUS will hear after the election is President Trump & Republican' lawsuit to rip away health care and end protections, including for patients with pre-existing conditions, caps on out-of-pocket costs, & so much more. — PolitiTweet.org
