Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Let's be clear: testing and tracing helps us contain cases and we need more of it. Cases are rising nationally, we still don’t have a comprehensive national testing and tracing plan & people are continuing to lose loved ones to this virus. https://t.co/qvAcQ5jKj5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is why oversight is critical. People's lives are on the line & we can't afford to repeat mistakes or make new ones. I'll keep pushing for strong oversight of the Trump Admin to make sure the resources Congress allocates are spent urgently, equitably, & as intended. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While the pandemic is showing no signs of letting up, @senatemajldr & Senate Republicans have refused to act. This… https://t.co/AuSSUToCzy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Residents of the our nation's capital have been denied their right to fully participate in our democracy for far too long. This week, the House will vote on #DCStatehood—and I urge the Senate to follow suit & finally give these citizens a voice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

According to @Mil_FANet, more than half of military & veteran families are unprepared for a financial emergency. My new legislation, the RESOURCES Act, is a critical step toward helping those who served & their families effectively plan for the future. https://t.co/6ZJQoylWJo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate Republicans want to protect corporations from being held accountable for not keeping their workers safe on the job. @SenateDems will fight to protect workers and keep them and customers safe. https://t.co/gVQUS2elWw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This will be @senatemajldr's legacy: 200 partisan judicial nominees confirmed and almost no real support or changes to address the crises families and communities are facing every day. It's shameful—and the American people deserve better. https://t.co/oV9aN3dOsm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The pandemic is clearly getting worse in states nationwide—and instead of trying harder to stop it, President Trump is apparently trying harder to hide it. The President should reverse this clearly counterproductive step immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A new report highlights that families of color & working families face a shortage of child care in their communities—a crisis that's made worse by the pandemic. Congress must step up & provide the support child care providers & working families need. https://t.co/LFfrFzBPBZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The GOP policing bill cannot seriously be called a starting point if the Senate's true goals are justice & accountability. I voted against advancing this bill today—& if Senate Republicans are serious about finding solutions, they'll work with us on a bipartisan path forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A comprehensive national testing and contact tracing plan, which I've been urging the Trump Admin to provide for months, is essential to help communities and states better & more safely address the COVID-19 crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@BetsyDeVosED needs to rescind her cruel rule that denies much-needed relief to Dreamers and undocumented students. https://t.co/WqW9MWKxUo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@OSHA_DOL is failing to do its job to keep workers healthy and safe during this pandemic. They must issue clear, effective, and comprehensive mandatory safety standards to ensure employers protect workers. https://t.co/R5Hw7wIPld — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Put simply, the #JusticeInPolicing Act is a desperately needed step toward change, but Senate Republicans want to vote tomorrow on a bill that would largely keep things the same—and that would be completely unacceptable. Read my full statement. https://t.co/Ap71JsWHsD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Servicemembers sacrifice so much to keep us all safe, and the last thing they should have to worry about is how they’ll get by once they have completed their service. The RESOURCES Act is an important step that we must take for military families in WA and across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

More than half of military & veterans’ families are unprepared for a financial emergency or a significant loss of income. This bill would ensure they have all the tools & knowledge to not only manage their current financial situations, but also effectively plan for the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I introduced new legislation that would give servicemembers and their families a fair shot at accessing retirement benefits that they’re entitled to and help bolster financial security training efforts within the armed services. https://t.co/xzUpqBGY6G — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At today's Senate hearing, I called out President Trump and VP Pence for trying to pretend this pandemic is fading & warned Senate Republicans that we need to take further action to address this ongoing crisis. https://t.co/GfdyaEzjTt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At today’s hearing, I asked @bfrist how the U.S. response to the next pandemic would look different if we started to make strong, mandatory, annual investments in public health infrastructure. https://t.co/bNxFRZdkdF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Coronavirus has killed 120,000+ people across the country & sickened 2 million people. I asked @DrKhaldun about @VP Pence’s claim that the federal government’s response is “a cause for celebration.” https://t.co/jB21jTTXht — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At today’s Senate hearing, I asked @JulieGMD about building up vaccine confidence, and the need for a comprehensive vaccine plan from the Trump Administration. https://t.co/B3RFYBgQ4X — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A disproportionately high number of people of color are seriously ill or dying from coronavirus. I asked @DrKhaldun what Congress and the Administration can do right now to address factors like systemic racism that have led to worse health outcomes for communities of color. https://t.co/VOrju0Ruum — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Spoke at a Senate committee hearing with health experts on the need to understand everything that has gone wrong in our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, why it went wrong, and how to fix it now. https://t.co/lOZCGyrJgK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We might "show" fewer cases. But people would still be getting sick. And some of us, @realDonaldTrump, care about people. Try it sometime—preferably soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I joined @SenatorCantwell, @SenatorDurbin & others to call on President Trump to end his cruel attempts to deport Dreamers, especially at a time when thousands of Dreamers are working on the frontlines of the pandemic. https://t.co/ReMuS47a3D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

2020 graduate Payton Zitterkopf from Vancouver's Evergreen High School encourages her classmates to be grateful for what got them to this day and to celebrate that they finally made it. https://t.co/CLyaNQ5uYQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Nursing homes are especially vulnerable to the coronavirus. The Trump Admin must take swift action to provide clear guidance, oversight, and resources to nursing homes and state agencies, not a slow, burdensome, business-as-usual approach. https://t.co/JsKTFCaAOt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After President Trump's alarming comments about wanting to slow down testing, we asked why he still hasn't released $14B for COVID-19 testing & contact tracing. This inexcusable delay is hurting families & communities. These funds should be distributed now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress must address our nation’s child care crisis. Full stop. https://t.co/gnzVyPvpJQ — PolitiTweet.org
