Drought is one of the MANY side effects of the climate crisis and it has a huge impact on farming, fishing, and wildfire season in communities throughout WA. We need to #ActOnClimate now. https://t.co/raaistqW7r — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I've heard from families across WA state about how access to quality and affordable health care through Medicaid was the turning point to breaking the cycle of opioid addiction & getting back on their feet. We need to expand access to treatment and care—not work to take it away. https://t.co/1LgYS9kn0z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

And to make matters worse—many of the 800,000 people who rely on Medicaid to access treatment for opioid use disorder are at risk of losing their coverage entirely because of the Republican-led lawsuit. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While families and communities are fighting the opioid crisis, President Trump and Republicans are working against them by fighting in court to undermine high-quality, affordable health care and let insurance companies avoid covering treatment for opioid addiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Too many people are being forced to make impossible choices due to high drug costs, and too little is being done by Pres. Trump to live up to his empty promises and actually address this crisis. https://t.co/A0NC797lyA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In the last 48 hrs, we've learned of hateful social media posts by federal agents, seen new gut-wrenching photos, & heard firsthand stories about cruel, inhumane conditions at our southern border. We need investigation & accountability. I won't stop fighting until we get both. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans’ attempts to rip away protections for people with pre-existing conditions need to end—too many families, like this mom from Moses Lake, rely on those protections to ensure the health and safety of those they love. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/KXpBQbilgy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The health care of millions of people are at risk because of the Republicans’ attacks on families' health care. We must keep telling our stories, making our voices heard, and fighting to #ProtectOurCare. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If President Trump and the GOP win their lawsuit, insurance companies could deny coverage, increase costs, or exclude benefits for the 130 million people with pre-existing conditions. Those pre-ex conditions could include: AIDS/HIV Alzheimer's Disease Arthritis Asthma Cancer — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admin's apprenticeship proposal is a giveaway to private corporations and for-profit colleges without any guarantees apprentices are getting quality training. Trump should abandon this vanity project and invest in registered apprenticeships. https://t.co/CzVPn8Sk8V — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans’ attempts to rip away protections for people with pre-existing conditions need to end—too many families, like this mom from Moses Lake, rely on those protections to ensure the health and safety of those they love. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/KZDs3cll00 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #CivilRights Act of 1964 was important legislation that prohibited employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex. 55 years later, we must recognize that those protections extend to ALL people—no matter who they love. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The inhumane treatment of children at our southern border should shock the conscience of every American. @RonWyden and I demand accountability and a briefing by relevant officials to ensure the health and safety of children in the government's care. https://t.co/Ye0rTQcBef https://t.co/slwg5KhS74 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If President Trump really wanted to protect families' health care, his administration would defend it against the blatantly partisan lawsuit brought by Republicans that is putting the health care of millions of patients at risk. https://t.co/XQdUOHO3zO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We can't go back to the days when health care was only accessible to those who could afford it—but that's exactly where the partisan, Republican-led lawsuit aims to take us. I'm standing with moms across the country, like the one who wrote to me from Bellingham, to fight back. https://t.co/Cisc7AXJbi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

17 million people received health care due to Medicaid expansion, including 622,300 from WA state. If Republicans win their partisan lawsuit which will be heard in court next week, those families and more could lose the care they need. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If Republicans win their partisan and cruel lawsuit to take away access to affordable and quality health care, patients and families will lose. I need your help to fight back against Republicans' relentless health care sabotage. https://t.co/x9qcI6nDBg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m proud that the Senate has finally stepped up to honor our obligations to the Columbia River Treaty tribes by passing legislation to ensure tribal members have safe and sanitary housing at fishing access sites along the Columbia River. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SecAzar’s new proposed rule would dismantle protections against discrimination in health care. That’s wrong, no one should fear being denied care because of who they are. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our economy should work for everyone—not just those at the top. To make sure that happens, I helped introduce a bill that would guarantee the right to organize for public employees in states who don’t already have those protections. https://t.co/KCpsjrjc1t — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As #PrideMonth ends, we must continue everyday to honor the righteous tradition of Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, & many others by raising our voices against injustice and taking key steps that make life easier for the next generation of LGBTQIA+ Americans. https://t.co/sw8Cpubz59 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Programs like this one in Thurston are so important for kids and families in Washington state and across the country—but we need to do more. That’s why I’m pushing for legislation to support families and ensure kids have nutritious meals all year round. https://t.co/GdcbmQhnmV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Over 50% of women in Walla Walla Co. haven't been screened for breast cancer. We need to ensure every woman—no matter where she lives, or how much she makes—can access preventive care like lifesaving cancer screenings. https://t.co/UjbRR8bSa3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In 2019, we know that being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community isn’t an affliction, a disease, or some chronic condition requiring medical treatment. But rather—the politicians who say it is are on the wrong side of history. #PrideMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Happy #Pride to everyone celebrating in Seattle this weekend! There’s no better way to close out #PrideMonth than to celebrate the vibrant LGBTQIA+ community in Seattle and across Washington state! #TransPrideSeattle2019 #SeattlePride #WeArePride — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Closing out #PrideMonth in Seattle with local residents and civil rights advocates to talk about how the #BeHEARD Act would provide the standards, support, and accountability LGBTQIA+ people and all workers need to prevent and respond to workplace harassment. https://t.co/bxSGcdsrvn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is good news for the women of Alabama. But let's be clear: #RoeVWade and access to safe, legal abortion and women's #reprorights are still under attack. I'm pushing for legislation that would stop extreme restrictions on abortion access & end these attacks once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Families in WA state and across the country are counting on us to protect their health care. That's why I'm going to make the progress I can while continuing to hold GOP leaders accountable for their ongoing health care sabotage. https://t.co/imFoOi9m9J — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As we commemorate #Stonewall50 that sparked the modern movement for LGBTQIA+ equality amd close out #PrideMonth, let’s honor those who spoke out and began the fight for change. We have more to do to protect LGBTQIA+ Americans, and we can start with the #EqualityAct. https://t.co/CHnOXTmQ1Z — PolitiTweet.org
