Today on the anniversary of the Olmstead vs LC decision, continued segregation of people with disabilities persists and is discrimination. We must continue to fight for equal rights and opportunities for all people with disabilities in schools, workplaces, and communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress should be doing everything it can to strengthen protections for workers to keep them safe & healthy. But instead, the Senate GOP is focused on new protections for corporations to avoid accountability. RT if you agree with @SenateDems that we can’t let this stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Coronavirus cases are continuing to rise with some states now seeing record increases. It’s just as important as ever to social distance, wear masks, and regularly wash our hands. https://t.co/5wPwZ1zzlH — PolitiTweet.org

Join me in celebrating fathers and father figures in Washington state and across the country who help provide the support, encouragement, and strength we all need to get through these uncertain times. Happy #FathersDay. — PolitiTweet.org

Keep in mind tonight: the President and everyone who comes near him gets tested for coronavirus. Why? To keep him safe. Every American deserves the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Since the start of the coronavirus crisis in our country the President has ignored experts, denied facts, and put his self-interest ahead of Americans’ lives—and here he is saying so. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump’s early missteps when dealing with this pandemic have put us behind, and his continued lack of urgency and leadership mean we still aren’t on track with adequate testing and resources. This is no time to lose focus. https://t.co/Qnz5AagYIi — PolitiTweet.org

Maliyah Chom of Lincoln High School in Tacoma congratulates the Class of 2020 on all the hard work they've done to get to graduation day, and reminds them of all the continued work ahead to achieve in life. https://t.co/6Y1FV9T0SR — PolitiTweet.org

Refugees are an integral part of our communities & bring immense value and diversity to our country. We must fight to undo the Trump Admin’s cruel immigration policies & work to once again make our nation a beacon of hope for refugees around the world. #WRD2020 — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re still waiting for a CARES Act direct payment and aren't required to file a federal tax return for 2019, you have until October 15, 2020 to request your payment on the IRS website. Learn more here ⬇️ https://t.co/AFhnWHEP9m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The pandemic is not over. In order to keep families & communities safe, we must continue to wear masks, wash hands, cover coughs, social distance, & more. Congress has more work to do too. Republicans must come back to the negotiating table. https://t.co/tc44iR99OX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m excited to have @HelloKittySmile, President & CEO of @TacUrbanLeague, take over my Instagram account today to highlight the important work her & the org do to support the Black community in Tacoma & the region during this important time.

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This #Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of U.S. slavery, we must commit to ending systemic racism in our laws, policies, systems and communities. We have a long way to go, but we must begin this important work now. — PolitiTweet.org

2020 graduate Jaxon Milligan from Union High School in Camas encourages his fellow graduates to thank the many people who supported and helped them get to where they are today. https://t.co/pMHagdd1th — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It is unconscionable that months into the COVID-19 pandemic President Trump still has not put forward an adequate, comprehensive testing plan. Making sure testing is fast, free, & everywhere is essential for our country to safely reopen. https://t.co/TrdgBJjBSh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I can’t say this enough: supporting our child care providers and working families during this pandemic is a crucial piece to reopening our communities. Congress needs to do more to provide needed support and I have a bill to do it. https://t.co/z003QmJqgW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This week's SCOTUS decision was a major step to end LGBTQIA+ discrimination in the workplace & ensure all Americans have the opportunity to succeed—but our work isn’t done. The Senate needs to pass the #EqualityAct to ensure equal protection under all of our laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is great news. Hundreds of thousands of students, neighbors, & coworkers finally won’t have to live in fear of being forced to leave the only home they have known. SCOTUS’s ruling allows our nation to fulfill its promise to these young people & help them reach their dreams. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee is postponing its work indefinitely unless Dems agree not to raise some of our country’s most pressing crises: the pandemic & racial injustice. People are demanding action & I urge @SenShelby to stop blocking us from delivering. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Pretending the COVID-19 crisis is over, even as several states see record case increases, is reckless. This virus is still a threat to our families and communities. It's absolutely critical that we continue to wear masks, social distance, and take action. https://t.co/qfMB4LgfpJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Instead of working to keep workers safe and help slow the spread of the virus, Senate Republicans are working on a "get out of jail free card" for corporations. This is absolutely not where the Senate’s time or attention should be. https://t.co/rzhxYU5XC6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

COVID-19 is making health disparities that already existed due to systemic racism even worse. The Trump Administration needs to step up and do more to ensure we aren’t overlooking the communities being hit hardest by this pandemic. https://t.co/wZKoRZfMG6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This Admin has a responsibility to help workers and families get the health care they need—particularly during a global health emergency. @SecAzar and @SeemaCMS should establish a nationwide Special Enrollment Period to help people who need coverage. https://t.co/jvSkoVsmMX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For months, I’ve demanded the Trump Admin improve COVID-19 data to better assess racial and ethnic disparities—but we're still missing crucial data. The Admin needs to change gears now & start doing everything they can to protect those who are hardest hit. https://t.co/sLPyvWsCfQ — PolitiTweet.org

Annabelle Linden of Legacy High School in Vancouver reminds the Class of 2020 that graduation day marks the start of their futures and the time to move on, grow up, and face the world. https://t.co/3LSBaPIOoh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

30+ million essential workers—41% of whom are people of color—are making great personal sacrifices to do their jobs on the frontlines of this crisis. They deserve more than a “thank you." They deserve action, and that includes premium pay. https://t.co/56WIDRkYy2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If President Trump is serious about addressing police brutality and systemic racism in our country, he should start with the #JusticeInPolicing Act. There is no reason Democrats and Republicans who are genuinely interested in reform shouldn’t be able to get behind this proposal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's undeniable—change isn't only necessary, but long overdue. The #JusticeInPolicing Act would: ➡️ ban the use of chokeholds, ➡️ end qualified immunity, & ➡️ create a nat’l use of force standard—& more. None of this is controversial. Congress must pass this bill immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Joining @GWIDDP to talk about how fighting the spread of COVID-19 & keeping our families and communities safe means fighting the spread of disinformation—whether it comes from shadowy corners of the internet or the President himself. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The constitutional protections of freedom of the press and peaceful assembly are under attack, which is why I joined @SenMarkey & others to introduce a Senate resolution condemning these threats to our democracy. https://t.co/nzM98nd24v — PolitiTweet.org
