President Trump has repeatedly thrown working families under the bus to help corporations, billionaires, & the powerfully connected get even further ahead. Eugene Scalia’s record gives me every reason to believe he would support Trump’s anti-worker agenda at the Dept of Labor. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today is the Senate committee hearing for Trump’s Sec. of Labor nominee, Eugene Scalia. The committee was given insufficient time to thoroughly vet Scalia’s extensive record &find any sign he would fight for workers. He would be nothing more than a #SecretaryofCorporateInterests. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state student activist @Jamie_Margolin & @ThisIsZeroHour continue to be at the forefront of the fight against climate change. Their voices are critical to have on Capitol Hill today to urge Republicans to #ActOnClimate. https://t.co/Jk3GCCZX5v — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Eugene Scalia’s career helping corporations skirt rules at workers’ expense will be front & center at the Senate committee hearing on his nomination to lead the Dept of Labor. #SecretaryofCorporateInterests Tune in TOMORROW at 9:00am ET ➡️ https://t.co/YSNuRzCNAH https://t.co/kZ3g0TQxGI — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 72th Birthday, @usairforce! 🎉 Our nation is forever grateful for the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication of Air Force members and their families. #HBDUSAF https://t.co/jlDHKL5rYJ — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump raided funds from critical military projects in WA & nationwide to pay for his wasteful border wall. But according to the Pentagon, there will be "dire consequences" for our military & our troops if Congress doesn't fund the very projects Trump took funding for. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump’s Secretary of Labor nominee, Eugene Scalia, argued that companies should be able to discriminate against people with disabilities based on perceptions about whether they could do a job—undermining critical ADA protections. #SecretaryofCorporateInterests — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need a Secretary of Labor, not a #SecretaryofCorporateInterests. Eugene Scalia’s career shows a clear pattern that matches the Trump Administration’s anti-worker agenda perfectly. Families and workers deserve better—that's why I oppose his nomination. https://t.co/I7AwCNoJMS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump's Secretary of Labor nominee, Eugene Scalia, will NOT fight to: ❌ Hold corporations accountable for wage theft ❌ Defend workers’ overtime pay in court ❌ Close the pay gap ❌ Protect workers’ retirement security #SecretaryofCorporateInterests — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is unacceptable. Our top priority should be investing in our children and their futures. I will continue to fight in Congress to make sure our priorities are clear and that we are working toward a better future for every child in our country. https://t.co/9t4TCaYFT3 — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump and Republicans’ claims that they’re doing everything they can to fight the opioid epidemic fall flat when at the same time, they’re attacking and undermining the very programs that have expanded access to treatment for thousands of people. https://t.co/eDOsY1Q0Ga — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump's junk insurance plans undermine health care and drive up costs for millions of people across the country. Just ask David and Marisia Diaz. #NoJunkPlans #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/qTUal1g723 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump’s proposed #PublicCharge rule is further proof that the goal of his immigration agenda is to inflict needless cruelty upon immigrants. I won't stand for this—which is why I joined @maziehirono to introduce legislation that would stop this heartless rule. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenateDems: “Together, we can break this senseless cycle — and it starts with the Majority Leader.” @PattyMurray called on @SenateMajL… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@SenateDems @senatemajldr We must keep lifting up our voices to demand change. It won’t be easy—but I’m not giving up, & I know there are many more across our nation who aren’t giving up either. Let's pass universal background checks so we can finally begin to put a stop to this terrible, deadly cycle. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@SenateDems @senatemajldr President Trump and Leader McConnell continue to make clear they’re more interested in protecting the NRA than families. This is simply unacceptable—and @SenateDems are not going to stop calling for action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@SenateDems @senatemajldr In response to the gun violence epidemic, communities in Washington state and across the country have banded together to make their voices heard and press for change—but Leader McConnell and President Trump continue to stand in the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Speaking on the Senate floor with @SenateDems to once again urge @senatemajldr to bring up a vote on House-passed, bipartisan universal background checks legislation. #EndGunViolence https://t.co/vYj9VZFdAX — PolitiTweet.org

There are so many stories of strong women and families who come to this nation and make it their own, and we have a responsibility to expand those opportunities and help more people become naturalized and be able to contribute to their communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Shah and her four children spent 11 years fleeing government persecution before they made their way to the U.S.—which for the first time gave their family a stable environment to live, grow, and learn. https://t.co/aZuzdWTHU1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After having to flee their home country of Uruguay, Yanella & her family took whatever jobs they could find to support themselves. Many years later—and thanks to a strong work ethic & determination—Yanella is a U.S. citizen AND has her GED. https://t.co/l5Tk8BLvhc — PolitiTweet.org

Having been in the U.S. for almost 30 years, Maria Burke was excited to take her Oath of Allegiance this past July along with Jalilah and 37 other new citizens. https://t.co/zqLFSEMPya — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

#CitizenshipDay is an important opportunity to highlight people like Maria, Jalilah, Yanella, and Shah whose journey to become Americans—and Washingtonians—defines the very fabric of our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I strongly oppose Eugene Scalia's nomination because there’s every reason to expect that as Secretary of Labor he would continue to promote big corporations’ interests over workers’ interests. #SecretaryofCorporateInterests — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Community health centers play a critical role in making sure patients can access affordable care in their communities. I’ll keep fighting to support CHCs in Washington state and across the country. #ValueCHCs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Discrimination and harassment should *never* be permitted. @USDOL needs to withdraw its proposed rule that would allow taxpayer-funded employment discrimination against LGBTQ people, women, & members of certain religious groups. https://t.co/fL0VWVqbNm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Eugene Scalia is an elite corporate lawyer who has spent his career helping corporations skirt the rules at workers’ expense. His long record undermining protections for workers and defending corporations who have trampled on their rights is absolutely disqualifying. https://t.co/Ort5BMTGm6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #ArcticRefuge is an important & unique national treasure that protects a complete spectrum of natural land & wildlife. It's disgraceful that the Trump Admin. is trying to damage this sensitive ecosystem for the sake of oil production. https://t.co/HfDIGSy0Wm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans' number one health care priority has been to make things worse—and it’s patients in Washington state and across the country who are suffering as a result. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/64T97ZKqp1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state’s Latino community is a critical part of what makes our state so great. This #HispanicHeritageMonth, I look forward to honoring and recognizing the heritage & culture of the Latino community and leaders who have gone above and beyond for Washington. https://t.co/Ba8TPgLy9I — PolitiTweet.org
