As the daughter of a WWII veteran, I have long been committed to making sure our country keeps its promise to take care of our veterans. This #VeteransDay, let’s all remember their sacrifices & support those who have courageously served our country—today, and everyday. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We know President Trump has invited foreign interference in the next election—a fact every American should find appalling. It's crucial that the House impeachment inquiry gathers all the facts and gets to the bottom of this President & his associates' actions. https://t.co/TVsVSQq2Qc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate Republicans’ unwavering support for President Trump's hard-right judicial nominees—many who have no business sitting on the federal bench—is ruining the credibility of our judicial system. #CourtsMatter https://t.co/HdUt4eKVK2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Good luck @SoundersFC! The city of Seattle and fans across Washington state are rooting for you to bring back the #MLSCup! https://t.co/jotYuNs3jR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

#HappyBirthdayMarines! Thank you, @USMC, for your service and the sacrifice you and your families make to protect our country and defend our freedoms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SenateDems keep bringing forward solutions to important issues like health care, gun safety, & #VAWA, & time and again the Senate GOP blocks us. This is not what we were sent here to do. Families in WA & across the country need us to solve problems—not create or ignore them. https://t.co/pP79uId9FL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump-Pence #TitleX gag rule & states' extreme abortion bans are all part of a coordinated attempt to chip away at #RoeVWade and restrict a woman's constitutional right to a safe, legal abortion. With so much at stake, we need to keep fighting back. https://t.co/kQe39VHiAd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I firmly believe that this is a country of laws, that our elections must be completely free from foreign interference, and that every elected official should ensure these fundamental principles come before party or partisanship as the House impeachment inquiry moves forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer. We need to treat it like the threat it is by investing in prevention & research, & making sure those battling this awful disease have the quality, affordable health care they need. #LCAM https://t.co/8eeVLXY8rz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

No one should ever be denied vital services or supports because of who they are, who they love or who they pray to. The government should protect our LGBTQIA+ community, women, & religious minorities from discrimination, not make it easier to promote hate. https://t.co/mFC2FYSSio — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is not enough. @BetsyDeVosED wants praise for providing only partial relief to students the Education Department failed to protect in the first place. Congress has demanded—and students deserve—better. https://t.co/5DgfJgQ1WV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A passion for STEAM can change a student’s life while also help strengthen our economy & our country. I will keep pushing to improve STEAM education so Washington state has a pipeline of workers, innovators & entrepreneurs to fuel a 21st-century workforce. #NationalSTEMDay https://t.co/75l0x9RZCe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Think of how much better families' health care could be if Republicans weren’t so determined to play political games that raise their costs and jeopardize their care. The GOP should stop the attacks and start working with Democrats to #ProtectOurCare. https://t.co/1LSBLgdBKK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

My legislation would return the military construction funds President Trump raided for his border wall back to their original projects & ensure that no President can loot federal dollars from our military to fund their pet projects. Our women and men in uniform deserve better. https://t.co/NiNNvsINBO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Investing in early childhood education and high-quality #ChildCare4All is essential to giving working families the support they need & ensuring all children have the opportunity to succeed. Thank you, @firstfiveyears, for joining me in this fight! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Completing @FAFSA and #WASFA forms are critical steps for students as they start their journey. But right now, only 54% of Washington state seniors finish filling them out—leaving millions of dollars of unclaimed college financial aid. https://t.co/RerJuaELna — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

ATTENTION WASHINGTONIANS: If you need to change your health coverage, renew your current plan, or sign up for the first time, visit @WAPlanFinder now through December 15. #GetCoveredWA https://t.co/OMCXw46YEs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Due to lapsed funding, HBCUs & minority-serving institutions could face a budget shortfall that forces them to: ❌eliminate jobs ❌cut programs ❌reduce student support services Senate Republicans need to do the right thing and pass our bipartisan bill to restore this funding. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We now know that Steven Menashi not only advised, but was one of the architects behind @BetsyDeVosED's illegal effort to undermine protections for student borrowers. Anyone with such disregard for the rule of law has no place on our federal courts. https://t.co/pP0vbN9v9x — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@PPFA When it comes to our courts, nothing is more important than ensuring we are sustaining a system people can trust—one that upholds our laws and seeks justice without bias, favor, or agenda. I urge my colleagues to join me in rejecting Rudofsky, Pitlyk, & Menashi's nominations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@PPFA Steven Menashi has a disturbing history of disparaging comments against: ➡️women ➡️people of color ➡️immigrants, & more He helped orchestrate @BetsyDeVosED's efforts to undermine protections for student borrowers who were cheated by predatory for-profit colleges. #StopMenashi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@PPFA Sarah Pitlyk is another judicial nominee who has worked throughout her career to limit access to a wide array of repro health care services, and she’s called birth control “evil” & a “grave moral wrong.” She’s far too ideological to sit on the federal bench. #StopPitlyk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate Republicans are packing the court with hard-right, ideological picks like Lee Rudofsky. Rudofsky’s record includes: ➡️working to deny women access to repro health care ➡️arguing in favor of cutting Medicaid funding to @PPFA ➡️fighting against LGBTQIA+ equality — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Speaking on the Senate floor to call out Senate Republicans for their unwavering support for President Trump’s efforts to remake the federal judiciary & rubberstamping his nominees—many of whom have no business sitting on the federal bench. #CourtsMatter https://t.co/bXNt4ualBV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump has openly & repeatedly invited foreign interference in our elections. Congress must put country before party and gather all of the facts about this President's actions. Our nation’s security, the rule of law, & the future of our democracy are on the line. https://t.co/UhwTgsR3EI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump-Pence Administration’s #TitleX gag rule is a direct attack on Title X health centers like @PPFA and their work to provide affordable and quality health care. It’s dangerous—and it needs to go. #ProtectX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today the court has ruled with patients & medicine rather than ideology & hate—but people’s health care shouldn’t hang on a court decision. No matter who you are, your care should be based on your medical needs and not someone else’s beliefs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This was 48 days ago. @senatemajldr has still done nothing & President Trump has abandoned his promise to address the epidemic of gun violence. #EndGunViolence — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If Republicans win their partisan health care lawsuit: 👨‍👩‍👧 millions of families lose their coverage ❌ pre-ex protections are struck down 💰 the rich get another huge tax giveaway Democrats will not let this stand & will keep fighting to #ProtectOurCare. https://t.co/ooDok5Qwsk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@SenDougJones @senatemajldr Nearly 6 million students nationwide—and institutions of truly invaluable historic significance to our nation—are waiting for Congress to do the right thing. We shouldn’t delay a minute longer. Let's pass our bipartisan bill to restore funding for HBCUs and MSIs now. — PolitiTweet.org
