President Trump's actions have put our nation's security, the rule of law, and the future of our democracy all on the line. Congress must put country over party, and focus on upholding our solemn obligation to defend the Constitution. https://t.co/8Y6awNxmeq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

5,400+ children have been separated from their families since July 2017 because of Trump's reckless policies at our southern border. We've introduced a bill that would end cruel and inhumane family separations and treatment of children. The Senate should vote on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress must act to stop this President’s massive overreach that looted funding from our military for his unnecessary border wall. My bill with @SenSchumer @SenatorDurbin @SenatorLeahy & @SenBrianSchatz would return the money he stole & prevent this kind of abuse in the future. https://t.co/RRUPd3E7eH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats are putting an end to Republicans’ health care charade & forcing every Senate Republican to go on the record about whether they will fight for families’ health care & stand up for patients with pre-existing conditions—even if it means standing up to President Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I am so saddened to hear of Sen. Hagan’s passing. Kay will be remembered for her kindness, her warmth, and for being a true champion for North Carolina in the Senate. My thoughts are with her family and friends today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The federal minimum wage has not been increased in 10 years. Congress has the opportunity to give families a much-needed pay raise and support our entire economy by passing the #RaiseTheWage Act. https://t.co/YXKNfO1R2h https://t.co/RAElKfqHoc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There is no line @BetsyDeVosED won't cross to let student loan companies off the hook. The latest: ignoring a court order and failing to protect borrowers. https://t.co/iASVY7Ays7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Based just on what we know about President Trump’s reckless actions, it would be a dereliction of duty for Congress not to investigate the grave threats this President poses to our country’s safety and our democratic institutions. https://t.co/MO43PcD1BI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

900 #TitleX centers. That means lives interrupted, care out of reach, and women prevented from making their own choices about their health. This is just so wrong and I’m going to keep fighting back. #ProtectX https://t.co/Ry2rw767UJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump is promoting junk insurance plans which can leave patients with higher premiums, higher out of pocket costs, & fewer affordable options to get the health care they need. This is wrong—& that's why Democrats are forcing a vote next week to #ProtectOurCare. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Good. @BetsyDeVosED should absolutely be held accountable for siding with for-profit colleges instead of the students she is supposed to be fighting for. https://t.co/AvewNsEhoT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today marks 100 days since the House passed the #RaiseTheWage Act and @senatemajldr tossed it into his legislative graveyard. The Senate needs to pass this bill and give workers in WA state & across the country a much-needed pay raise. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If Republicans win their health care lawsuit, it could take away coverage for: ➡️ people with pre-ex conditions ➡️ young adults on their parents' insurance ➡️ prescription drug costs Republicans don't want to #ProtectOurCare, they want to upend it. That’s their whole plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People expect the EEOC to hold companies accountable for pay discrimination—not help them sweep it under the rug. I want answers from the EEOC about their decision to undermine transparency & make it easier for employers to commit wage discrimination. https://t.co/QPMefPcykA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I will keep fighting to make sure workers in WA and across the nation receive the pensions they worked hard for, rightfully deserve, and were promised. #APensionIsAPromise https://t.co/pYIlCiAWKS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SenateDems' resolution will put ALL members on the record about if they stand with patients and families, or if they stand with President Trump. We are going to double down in the fight to protect families' health care. https://t.co/za8OcoPGGq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I will not stand by while the President builds his wasteful border wall on the backs of our troops & their families—which is why I introduced legislation that would right this wrong against our military. https://t.co/kYkwJEL2DK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is a very real and honest look at what it's like to be an abortion care provider and how personal these decisions are for women & their families. Read it. Share it. https://t.co/Xends5T0gG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A lack of high-quality, affordable child care doesn’t just affect families—it impacts our entire economy. This new report highlights the economic impact of skyrocketing child care costs in WA state & underscores the urgent need for #ChildCare4All. https://t.co/XMWY534StL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SeemaCMS is “not going to get into specifics of the plan" for if Republicans succeed in their partisan lawsuit to strike down protections for pre-ex conditions & health care for millions is further proof they have NO plan. https://t.co/eQpUMXc8vv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Over 3/4 of Americans are unable to meet retirement savings targets. That’s why I helped introduce a resolution making this National Retirement Security Week & encouraging everyone to take necessary steps to ensure they are preparing for a secure retirement. #NRSW19 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It has been 200+ days since the House passed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. @senatemajldr has turned his back on women & girls by stalling the critical reforms & protections in this bill, which help empower survivors & prevent violence against women. #VAWA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Proud to introduce this bill w/ @SenSchumer @SenatorDurbin @SenatorLeahy & @SenBrianSchatz to end this President’s executive overreach. Holding the President accountable is Congress’ sworn duty—& I won't stop fighting until this egregious wrong against our military is made right. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The bill would put a much-needed check on the President by: ➡️requiring Congressional approval *before* military construction funds are redirected ➡️prohibiting defense funds from being used for Trump’s wall ➡️returning $3.6B in looted funds back to the original military projects — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump’s massive overreach impacts 127 military infrastructure projects in 26 states & territories—including in WA, where @NavalBaseKitsap lost nearly $89 million to construct a new pier & maintenance facility needed to help protect our nuclear submarine arsenal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I refuse to stand by and do nothing while President Trump abuses his power to raid critical military funding for his wasteful border wall. That’s why today I introduced a bill that would return the funds President Trump stole & create new safeguards to prevent future abuses. https://t.co/1kJXsFaXE0 — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenWarren: 14 months after the @OIGatHHS recommended that @HHSgov recover at least $341,000 in taxpayer dollars that former Secretary T… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Too many families struggle to afford medical care & prescription drugs because health costs are simply too high. But instead of finding real solutions, the GOP are threatening to put our entire health care system into chaos with their partisan lawsuit that could drop any day now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Families in WA state and across the country have made clear that they want Congress to take action on: 🔘 Election security 🔘 Health care 🔘 Climate change 🔘 Gun control 🔘 & much more @senatemajldr, it's past time to end your legislative graveyard and #HoldAVote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thank you, @DoleFoundation, for this incredible honor & for all of your great work to support military and veterans caregivers. — PolitiTweet.org
