WA Residents: You can help make a difference by making & wearing homemade face masks for @waltgov’s #WAMaskChallenge. These masks will go to organizations who need protection now, like homeless shelters, nursing homes, food banks, & more. https://t.co/w5NGfEvGVa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress cannot stand by and let thousands of workers lose their jobs and allow local governments to suspend vital services at a time when communities need them the most. I will keep fighting to get cities, counties, and states the support they need. https://t.co/Ovbzxt78zJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If you receive Social Security or disability benefits and haven’t received your direct payment, @SocialSecurity created a new resource to help you determine what, if any, action needs to be taken. Get that info & more below. https://t.co/6s7IeotCiZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Protecting those on the frontlines of the coronavirus crisis should be a top priority. It's shameful that 100+ days after the first case in WA there *still* aren't enough personal protective equipment & medical supplies. https://t.co/GexLtxMOqm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admin is shirking federal responsibilities & leaving states to deal with the coronavirus pandemic on their own. We need a clear, aggressive national strategy that makes testing fast, free, & everywhere—& I won’t stop fighting until we get it. https://t.co/lgsK0NMskw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A coronavirus response that leaves out immigrants—many of whom are on the frontlines—is detrimental to our efforts to stop this pandemic. I'm urging Congress to include protections and support for immigrant communities in the next relief package. https://t.co/uWzm99yRG9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's critical @HHSGov has stable leadership & that decisions are driven by science and public health, especially in the middle of a pandemic. But recent reports of political interference are deeply troubling—and we need answers. https://t.co/s9dQl66i0a — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While health care providers & communities struggle to weather coronavirus, @senatemajldr's first priority when the Senate is back is to jam through more judges who want to limit access to health care. I joined @AFJustice to talk about how this is the last thing we need right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I joined @ProtectOurCare to lay out what kind of detailed testing plan we need from the Trump Administration following their testing delays and missteps that have cost our communities so dearly—and how I’ll keep fighting until testing is fast, free, & everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump's testing blueprint doesn’t set specific goals, offer a timeframe, identify ways to fix our broken supply chain, or offer details about expanding lab and manufacturing capacity. We need a clear, aggressive national strategy and this is far from it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The @DeptofDefense's inadequate response to the coronavirus has come at the expense of the health, morale, & readiness of servicemembers and their families. We can and must do better for our troops. https://t.co/vXDMAAhuBx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Jared Kushner’s comments completely disregard the thousands who have died and the millions of Americans whose lives have been upended by this crisis. It's an absurd attempt to distract from the Trump Admin’s failure to ramp up our nation’s testing capacity in any meaningful way. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I heard from public health officials and health care providers about challenges they face day-to-day treating patients & what it's like on the ground. These workers are on the frontlines of this pandemic & I'll keep fighting to ensure they have the support & resources they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I talked with the mayors of Tacoma, Olympia, and DuPont, who highlighted the need for relief for smaller and mid-sized cities that didn't receive funding in the CARES Act. I'm working to do that with legislation that would provide more flexible funding for state and local gov'ts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I know how painful this time is for all of us & it’s inspiring to see the work so many in WA are doing to address this crisis. I spoke w/ mayors, public health officials & health care providers from Pierce, Thurston & Lewis counties about their work to slow the spread. https://t.co/Mhtn1dx0Wm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness need our support now more than ever. I will keep fighting to ensure they have the protections and federal support they need to be healthy & safe through this pandemic and long after. #TrueColorsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The federal gov't has a responsibility during this pandemic to support educators & help put children in Washington state and across the country in the best position to learn and succeed—& $216.9M from the CARES Act will go to WA to do just that. https://t.co/8JVOMrpzkF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The people who assure we have food on the table need protections & a safe workplace, not an order that puts them risk. And if the President is finally eager to use his full executive authority under the Defense Production Act I'd recommend starting with testing capacity. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's simple: vaccines are safe, effective, & life-saving. As we continue to respond to the coronavirus, we must keep working to ensure everyone can get the vaccines they need to protect against other preventable diseases. #WorldImmunizationWeek — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The CARES Act’s child care investments were a good first step, but Congress must take bold action to address our nation’s child care crisis during, and after, this public health emergency. https://t.co/w03ZXRO9WS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admin’s failure to address testing at a national level has resulted in states & hospitals scrambling for necessary equipment to respond to the coronavirus. We are all on the same team—& it’s past time this administration starts acting like it. https://t.co/Lnv8fIgSRR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In Spokane, across Washington state, and across the country, we must keep our focus on keeping people safe and flattening the curve. https://t.co/WWU4WBYtQd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

WA state Democrats urged VP Pence to develop a national testing system that ramps up testing capabilities. Communities not having a coordinated, evidence-based testing strategy as they make decisions about next steps is a recipe for disaster. https://t.co/8epn50rhPI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Abortion is health care—whether we’re in the middle of a public health emergency or not. The ruling against this opportunistic abortion ban is good news but we must remain vigilant in the fight to protect the constitutional right to a safe, legal abortion. https://t.co/fK7VEH3vKk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This AM a member of the President’s COVID19 taskforce told @GMA I “just don’t understand the details” of how they’re ramping up testing. Sounds like he’d prefer I quiet down. I won’t. We still don’t have enough tests. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@OSHA_DOL's actions fall short of what is needed. Workers need standards that are enforceable and require employers to protect them while on the job—and I'll keep pushing until that happens. https://t.co/Gp6L65jmFf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our frontline workers in hospitals, grocery stores, pharmacies, and on farms are keeping us healthy, fed, and safe as we continue to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Providing premium pay is just one of many steps we need to take as a country to thank and support them. https://t.co/ckT0hiMDck — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump's testing blueprint does nothing new and will accomplish nothing new. Perhaps most pathetically, it attempts to shirk obviously federal responsibilities by assigning them solely to states instead. https://t.co/FY1D56kLat — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If states can't pay their bills, thousands of workers will be laid off & services we desperately need like fire departments, first responders, police departments & much more won't be able to operate. Congress cannot sit by and let this happen. https://t.co/RnMEBJW0ID — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When will President Trump realize this is not about politics? This is about slowing the spread of the virus & saving lives. — PolitiTweet.org
