Given the surge in COVID-19 cases, there is no question our testing capacity is too low, & without serious federal leadership, we will struggle to even maintain that capacity—let alone expand it the way we need to. We need serious investments & a national testing plan. — PolitiTweet.org

This crisis is long from over for student loan borrowers—which is why the next COVID-19 relief bill must extend the pause on federal student loan payment. https://t.co/NObex3m49N — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to Liz from Federal Way for sharing her story about being a 'school parent.' Liz's concerns about her daughter's health are an important reminder that how we safely reopen schools for in person learning has far-reaching impacts that must be considered. https://t.co/L0mXyVjt4l — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress’s work over the next few weeks will have truly life-and-death consequences for families. People are watching closely, and we owe them relief that reflects the depth of this crisis, instead of the depth of Republican dysfunction & backward priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate Republicans' COVID-19 bill fails to take even minimal steps to address the starkly disproportionate impact the virus is having on Black, Latino, and Tribal communities, and includes no funding for state and local gov'ts with stretched budgets, risking further layoffs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The GOP COVID-19 bill goes out of its way to give corporations a ‘get out of jail free card’ rather than requiring health and safety standards—while slashing unemployment benefits for workers who’ve lost their jobs, but still have to make rent and put food on the table. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate Republicans' COVID-19 relief legislation goes even further than we feared in bullying schools to re-open in person regardless of safety, and would hardly keep child care providers afloat for a month. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Republican COVID-19 relief bill fails to demand the comprehensive, end-to-end plan from the Admin we urgently need for developing a safe, effective, free, and widely available vaccine, and won’t help our lagging testing and contact tracing get to where we need them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress' responsibility is to rise to the moment, work together, and respond to this pandemic with bold solutions. Unfortunately, the Senate GOP's proposal is months late, profoundly inadequate, and can’t credibly be considered a starting point for negotiations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If Congress does not respond to the child care crisis with bold solutions, the consequences will be dire. I have a bill we can—and should—pass that would provide $50B to help providers keep their doors open and to support working parents. https://t.co/6Pd2pvO6b1 — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Nisqually Middle School math teacher, David Buitenveld, for being named Teacher of the Year for WA's South Sound school district! Your dynamic teaching methods and commitment to helping your students succeed are truly inspiring. https://t.co/wUFXMfabkG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Ryan Sparks' story is a stark look at the real-life consequences of the GOP's months of inaction on COVID-19 legislation. Congress must pass additional relief ASAP so families can pay their rent, buy groceries, & get through this crisis. https://t.co/XIm08JrsXD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I know how tough it is to have the school year approaching with so many uncertainties about what learning will look like this fall. I want to make sure your voice is heard in the other Washington—click below to share your concerns. https://t.co/XdSniCKxVD https://t.co/TXNCdx4Pao — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenSchumer: It's July 27th, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

COVID-19 cases are dramatically rising across the country. Now more than ever, we must keep doing everything we can to keep ourselves & our communities healthy & safe. Keep social distancing, keep wearing your mask in public, & keep washing your hands. https://t.co/hcTfDeqRrn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

To recap: -NO explanation for the billions in testing funds this Administration hasn't spend—& I've asked about. -NO comprehensive plan to scale up testing. -NO leadership from the Administration as it tries to blame states for its failures. We need so much better. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Share your story to help me show President Trump & Republicans why the safety of students, educators, and families must come first when discussing how to reopen schools and child care centers for in-person learning or care. https://t.co/XdSniCsWx3 https://t.co/ucFprXcq5v — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As part of the fight to end racial injustice, I believe it's critical to affirm unequivocally that Black Disabled Lives Matter, & that we must recognize & address the ways systemic racism & police violence specifically impact Black people w/ disabilities. https://t.co/OUZDXrxdLt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@OSHA_DOL needs to do better for workers in WA state and across the country—and that means immediately issuing health and safety standards that employers are required to follow. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Child care providers, educators, children & families are depending on the federal government right now—& if Congress fails, more child care providers will close & families will have no place to turn. We must act, & fast, to make sure this doesn't happen. https://t.co/LgB2ADBgtX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

WA students, educators, and families: I want to hear from you about the importance of safely reopening child care providers and schools. https://t.co/XdSniCKxVD https://t.co/ivgdKlRIIK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Terminating social security income benefits from thousands of elderly refugees & refugees with disabilities, especially in the middle of a pandemic, is wrong & undermines basic decency. I’ll do all I can to fix this oversight in the next relief package. https://t.co/FnMBSt9k9z — PolitiTweet.org

Tell me what matters most to you and your family as schools decide how to safely reopen this fall. https://t.co/XdSniCKxVD https://t.co/f7m5Cwh7Q5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

One important way we can honor @repjohnlewis is to carry on his work of fighting back against voter suppression—which is why we are reintroducing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. https://t.co/vw2bLtFMws — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For 34M workers in this country, getting sick means choosing between taking the day off to get well and losing a paycheck—or going to work sick and risking getting others sick. Congress can stop this by passing paid sick days. https://t.co/z56cJT36Vv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The federal eviction moratorium ends today—and because Republicans have been dragging their feet for literal months, millions of families are at risk of losing their homes. This is absolutely shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As we celebrate #ADA30, we must keep working to address some of the significant challenges people with disabilities still face, which include: ➡️eliminating barriers to employment ➡️ensuring access to affordable health care ➡️guaranteeing the right to live independently — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Since the ADA, we’ve made important progress to ensure people w/ disabilities have the same rights & opportunities as everyone else in regards to going to school, getting & keeping a job, access to accessible transportation, & more. But we also have a long way to go. #ADA30 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As the school year approaches, I need your help in letting President Trump and @BetsyDeVosED know that the safety of families, students, and educators must come first as we discuss school in the fall. Share your story ⬇️ https://t.co/XdSniCKxVD https://t.co/WEE6kLpGk7 — PolitiTweet.org
