Providing healthy food for all students during this pandemic is a step in the right direction, but school districts need to be able to plan ahead. That’s why I called on @USDA to extend school meal waivers for the entire 2020-2021 school year. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is exactly why we need additional funding to support public health efforts, and a comprehensive, national plan to ensure we develop, produce, and distribute safe, effective vaccines. https://t.co/zZw2vDEmB5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The way we find solutions to these giant challenges is by coming together and listening to the communities bearing the brunt of these burdens—but all this announcement does is sow further division. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s the last thing people in WA state or anywhere else need from the President as we face a pandemic and a long-overdue reckoning with systemic racism & police brutality that paralyzed Jacob Blake last month & has cost countless Black people and people of color their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is unfortunately exactly what we’ve come to expect from President Trump: chaos, lawlessness, and politically motivated threats aimed at riling up his hard-right base. https://t.co/wmKzebG7Ia — PolitiTweet.org

Today's call was helpful and I will take these stories with me to the other Washington as I work to ensure the Postal Service gets the resources it needs to support workers, families, and voters across Washington state during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A small business owner from Vancouver emphasized how the Postal Service is a lifeline for businesses, especially during the pandemic. The recent mail changes and delays have already cost his business time and money, and if it isn't fixed quickly, it could only get worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A veteran spouse and caregiver shared her story about how a delayed prescription kept her husband in excruciating pain for weeks—a delay she believes was caused by Postmaster General DeJoy's new changes at USPS. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Pres. Trump & Postmaster General DeJoy’s political meddling with USPS is having real, dangerous consequences. In a call with folks from WA, a rural Postmaster talked about the stress & anxiety his workers are experiencing due to policy changes & the recent politicization of USPS. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

46 years ago ERISA was signed into law, establishing critical protections to safeguard families' financial futures. I’m working to build on that foundation with forward-looking steps to strengthen the retirement security of people across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I spoke with @KUOW about my frustration with @senatemajldr for stalling additional COVID-19 relief, including critical support for child care, and how I'm working to hold Postmaster General DeJoy accountable for his political changes at USPS. https://t.co/OQCspQA2zo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Child care providers are struggling to keep their doors open. Congress must immediately provide support for child care providers and working families—or we risk letting them all fall further behind. https://t.co/SLYTYVLqUg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Instead of bullying schools into physically reopening & putting people's safety at risk, schools need resources to ensure students’ education continues, no matter where it happens. I have a bill that would do that, and I'll keep pushing Congress to pass it. #DemandSafeSchools — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We can't afford for political interference to jeopardize the fight against COVID-19 with cut corners that undermine public confidence in vaccines—which is why I'm demanding answers from @SteveFDA & clear standards from FDA for any emergency authorization. https://t.co/Q9XI2r4fcp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Workers need to know that they are safe while on the job—and @OSHA_DOL must take action to protect workers by immediately issuing health and safety standards that employers are *required* to follow. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This virus doesn't know borders. Turning our back on the rest of the world and undermining our international standing during a global health crisis isn't putting America first. It'll only slow our recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's simple: President Trump's failure to lead and take responsibility for this pandemic has made things worse in Washington state and across the country. https://t.co/dZm3DuUJTj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I helped introduce a resolution to acknowledge that racism is a public health crisis. This pandemic disproportionately affects people of color, & highlights why the federal government must finally address systemic racism in our health care system. https://t.co/ahesMGZNnf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every day Congress fails to provide rent relief, more families like Jhon's are at risk of losing their homes. This shouldn't happen, especially during a pandemic. I'll keep fighting for #RentReliefNow & an extension on the federal eviction moratorium. https://t.co/aMVPrIy2BU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Systemic racism shows up in the ways we’ve damaged our air, water, land & food, and in who suffers most from environmental harm and climate change. I'm committed to environmental justice as we strive to create a more just and equal planet for all of us. https://t.co/kkxli126A4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Child care has been & will continue to be out of reach for too many families if Congress doesn't take bold steps to support child care providers & working families. I'll keep fighting for smart solutions that get families through this pandemic & beyond. https://t.co/M79dvUo5sm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Administration's constant, dangerous political interference in the COVID-19 crisis—which now has 6 million+ cases in the U.S.—is diminishing public trust and hampering our nation's response to this pandemic. They need to stop it, immediately. https://t.co/G5719kksQP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Postmaster General DeJoy's actions are unacceptable—and we'll keep fighting to protect our constituents' ability to receive timely mail delivery of essentials like medication & paychecks, and to ensure their ability to #VoteByMail. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress should be doing everything we can to strengthen protections for all workers & ensure that communities are as safe as possible—but instead, the Senate GOP wants to prevent employers from being held accountable if their workers get sick, or if their customers are exposed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump & the GOP's partisan lawsuit would end protections for patients w/pre-ex conditions, drive up costs, & cause even more chaos. And while a global pandemic may not have stopped them from trying to take away your health care—I'm still fighting to #ProtectOurCare. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The pandemic is far from over, which is why we all must continue to follow public health guidance to keep ourselves and each other safe. That means social distancing, wearing a mask, and washing your hands. We can get through this together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Child care providers need additional resources to safely reopen and operate and working families need support to find & afford care for their children. RT if you agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT if you agree that a national, comprehensive COVID-19 testing and contact tracing plan from the Trump Administration is long overdue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress cannot shrink from its duty to support State, local, and Tribal governments in their time of need. I will keep working to make sure the next COVID-19 relief package includes additional funding to help them respond to this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm committed to ensuring our federal gov't is a force for justice, & that justice is a primary consideration when we think about the water we drink, the air we breathe, where we live, how we get around, & everything else that makes up our environment. https://t.co/kkxli0Kvbu — PolitiTweet.org
