Last week, @BetsyDeVosED went out of her way to finalize a Title IX rule that ignores the needs of advocates, survivors, students, K-12 schools and colleges and that will make schools less safe. This is a devastating blow—but we must keep pushing back. https://t.co/7NYIWSwpS7 — PolitiTweet.org

#MothersDay may be a bit different this year, but I want to honor and appreciate those who are burning the candle at both ends to get themselves & their families through this challenging time. I will keep fighting for you every single day. Happy Mother’s Day. — PolitiTweet.org

Exciting news: Washington state will receive $23 million+ from @NationalService to fund @AmeriCorps and other service programs. These funds will help support critical public service programs across the state and assist those who want to give back to their communities. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, Washington state reopened some state parks—however, it's still critical that we all #RecreateResponsibly to keep ourselves and others safe. Learn more about what that means: https://t.co/AcsJzlPhWO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While President Trump and VP Pence have been focused on making it harder for women to get the care they need—even as lives are impacted by coronavirus—I’m pushing back & working to make it easier for all women to have access to affordable birth control. #FreeThePill #HandsOffMyBC https://t.co/bebzmcBfoL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While President Trump continues to deny the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and works to suppress the truth, people in WA state and across the country are dying. We need leadership. We need a plan of action. And we need testing to be fast, free, and everywhere. https://t.co/FbcfA3qFWZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thanks to Republican opposition, the steps Congress took on paid leave aren’t nearly enough and exclude far too many people—and many who are covered don't even know about it. We need to do better. https://t.co/HKBfoFp511 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Communities of color have long faced structural inequalities and discrimination preventing them from accessing health care and more. We must fix these disparities now and in the future. https://t.co/uaC595E9pu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We do need a vaccine. We do need tests. We do not need the President contradicting public health experts. https://t.co/0Ji7CLSYKT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Administration is on the clock to put forward and execute a detailed national testing plan that will actually put our country on track. I will continue to hold them accountable until testing is fast, free, & everywhere. https://t.co/taZAUQr5KJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I can’t believe it’s 2020 & we still have to fight against barriers that make it harder for women to get the care they need. Birth control is health care—and women shouldn’t have to pay extra, ask permission, or overcome obstacles to access it. #FreeThePill — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Dr. @bethannripley from my home state of WA for being honored as a #Sammies2020 finalist! I'm so grateful for her dedication & innovative work to help veterans in Seattle & across the country. https://t.co/hS2g7Oz3Sy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In an important step to support WA state’s growers & producers during this crisis, @SBAgov is now granting farmers and agriculture-related businesses access to much-needed disaster relief. https://t.co/NRBUzB5T3y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We must ensure that distance education in #HigherEd provides students with a quality education—which is why @BetsyDeVosED shouldn’t make rule changes until Congress & the public can assess how the needs of students & faculty may change due this pandemic. https://t.co/girpyz1Jnr — PolitiTweet.org

Update: the Trump Administration still plans to move forward with its health care lawsuit and continue its efforts to take away your health care—once again putting politics over patients and families. — PolitiTweet.org

Even from a hospital bed, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg continues the fight for women's reproductive rights and freedom. Thank you, RBG. #HandsOffMyBC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Title IX rule is a devastating blow, but as we continue to help students, families, K-12 schools and colleges recover from the impact of coronavirus, I won’t stop trying to do everything I can to ensure that every single student can learn in a safe environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I've fought against the Title IX rule every step of the way, alongside brave students & survivors who shared their stories. While I’m deeply disappointed, I’m not surprised @BetsyDeVosED ignored these voices & moved forward with a rule that strips away protections for survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@BetsyDeVosED's Title IX rule is not about "restoring balance," it's about silencing survivors. It will make it harder for students to report an incident of sexual assault or harassment—and that much easier for a school to sweep it under the rug. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Right now, @usedgov should be using every resource available to implement its CARES Act funding with the urgency, consistency, and equity it requires—not issuing regulations that are not only completely unrelated to combating coronavirus, but will actually harm students. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

2 months since President Trump said "anybody who wants a test can get a test”—& it’s still not true. I fought to require that the Admin finally provide a plan to nationally ramp up testing in our last coronavirus bill, & they need to deliver. https://t.co/LdSAkXrme9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every day, nurses are putting their lives on the line to keep us healthy and safe. They deserve more than just our gratitude. Nurses should be guaranteed premium pay & protective equipment to safely do their job—& I'll keep fighting until they get it. #NationalNursesDay — PolitiTweet.org
