.@SenKamalaHarris and I urged @SecGeneScalia to support workers of color, particularly women of color, who are experiencing magnified economic consequences of the coronavirus due to long-standing systemic inequality. https://t.co/MJVOPi8vgP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People are fighting for their lives. Workers are losing their jobs. Our economy is crumbling. President Trump has repeatedly failed to get this country enough tests and still doesn’t have a plan. And he is trying to spin this response as a “badge of honor?” I don’t think so. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

ICYMI: I spoke with @KIRONights about why we desperately need a national coronavirus testing plan—and how the Trump Administration’s continued delays and missteps are hurting our nation’s ability to safely reopen. Listen here ⬇️ https://t.co/SAXJb9QjhZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats have solutions that put workers, families, & communities first. The Senate GOP is prioritizing a "get out of jail free card" for corporations that would jeopardize workers' health & safety, spread the virus, & slow our recovery. https://t.co/a0znSRI63w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This wholly inadequate response tells us nothing except what we already knew: the Trump Administration would prefer to ignore the disproportionate impact this crisis is having on communities of color. We are not done pushing for answers and action here, not by a long shot. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress required a comprehensive report on health disparities related to the coronavirus pandemic—but what we got from President Trump was a lazy, four-page copy & paste project that links to a handful of limited, previously available data sets. https://t.co/E8wJC5bACP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Diseases don't respect borders. Retreating from global health leadership during a pandemic is only going to slow our nation's & the world’s response to this crisis. President Trump needs to grow up, take responsibility for his failures, & focus on keeping people safe & healthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We’ve lost 90,000 lives. Economists say unemployment could reach Great Depression levels. Meanwhile, @senatemajldr is rubber-stamping partisan judicial nominees like it’s a day that ends in “Y”. People deserve better. Especially right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There are so many ways the Trump Administration's delays and missteps undermined our response. This is a critical one. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

You are not alone in this difficult time. If you need help call the SAMHSA hotline anytime—it’s free, confidential, and available 24/7. 1-800-662-HELP (4357) #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth https://t.co/UNYX2CQbSr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As the Trump Administration pressures meat processing plants to open prematurely, @SenatorCantwell and I are calling on @SecretarySonny to address worker safety and protect employees during this pandemic. https://t.co/NyxHUiYGvA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The U.S. should be a leader in addressing this pandemic, rather than lagging behind and allowing ideological objections to drive decision-making and contribute to poor access to health care. That's why I called on the Trump Admin to reconsider its harmful #GlobalGagRule. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Small businesses fuel our local communities and economy—which is why I introduced legislation to help support the smallest businesses in WA state and across the country during this pandemic. https://t.co/tTMi9yZNrw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admin has 6 days left to submit a detailed coronavirus testing plan to Congress—a plan that must include specific goals & numbers, and that addresses the issues we’re seeing on testing capacity, distribution, racial disparities, & building out our public health system. https://t.co/EImH5R6pzw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need dramatically more coronavirus testing—and that means a national strategic plan that makes sure testing is fast, free, and everywhere. Families in WA and across the country can’t afford any more delays. https://t.co/2cA98DOPdv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We must keep working to break down racial & socioeconomic barriers in our schools, provide equitable school funding & rigorous instruction, & do much more to address systemic inequalities in our school system to ensure that students of color can access a quality public education. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

66 years ago, Brown v. Board of Education said that schools needed to desegregate. Every child, no matter the color of their skin, should be able to attend integrated schools & achieve a quality education—but today, many schools are still racially & socioeconomically segregated. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It is unconscionable that even during a global pandemic, the Trump Administration and GOP are continuing their dangerous efforts to take away health care from millions of Americans through their partisan lawsuit. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For a year, @senatemajldr has refused to even let the Senate vote on the House-passed #EqualityAct. This inaction is disgraceful—and it puts the LGBTQIA+ community at risk of being fired, refused housing, or denied services in 30 states in our country. #EqualityForward — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need the Trump Administration to step up and create a national coronavirus testing plan that helps states and provides the resources and tools needed to address and get through this crisis. We need leadership—and we need it now. https://t.co/Lm45cDDktm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While we’ve made important progress, there is still a lot of work we must do to rid our society of the hate the LGBTQIA+ community experiences every day. I will keep speaking out against bigotry & fighting for policies that ensure equal protection under the law. #IDAHOTB2020 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This #ArmedForcesDay I want to honor and thank those who serve in our military, and their families, for the countless sacrifices they make for our nation. I will keep working to ensure our servicemembers are taken care of on the frontlines and when they return home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

85,000+ lives lost. 36.5 million unemployed workers. Senate votes @senatemajldr has scheduled or planned on additional coronavirus relief: 0. Democrats have ideas. We've got bills. Let's get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I wish I could say I was shocked about this—because it should be shocking—but I’m not. What I am, though, is outraged. Our state needs these supplies. Our country needs a president who does what he says he’ll do. Neither is too much to ask. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump & VP Pence have been working since day 1 to undermine women’s access to health care by trying to make it more expensive, putting up obstacles, and more. It’s clear they won’t stop their relentless attacks—so we must continue to stand together & fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The federal gov't has a responsibility to help bridge the gap for the businesses on Main Street that fuel our local communities & economy—that's why we introduced legislation that would provide $50B to seed & scale relief efforts for our small businesses. https://t.co/czDXIPZR7k — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Help spread the word: college students who lost a part-time job due to the coronavirus pandemic are eligible for unemployment benefits through the CARES Act. #RealCollege https://t.co/9JoOOSaeD7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Don't call something overrated just because you don't want to take responsibility for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Families are struggling to keep a roof over their heads during this pandemic. I helped introduce legislation to provide emergency rental assistance for families and individuals to pay their rent and stay housed during and after this crisis. https://t.co/IpU8cAi7T4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This Administration needs to clearly lay out specific goals on testing, guidance for communities, businesses and schools, and so much more before our country can safely re-open. Anything less is putting people’s health and safety at risk. https://t.co/yey56gwI6K — PolitiTweet.org
