To close out #PrideMonth, I reintroduced a federal ban on sham “conversion therapy” to further protect LGBTQIA+ individuals from the dogma of our nation’s homophobic and transphobic past. Because even as we reflect on the progress we’ve made—we still have more work to do. https://t.co/C8WJdslqgX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Proud to reintroduce the Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act to create a federal ban on conversion therapy. We’ve come far in our long battle for LGBTQIA+ equality, and I’m ready to get to work to get this important legislation over the finish line. #PrideMonth https://t.co/XWZa4o79Wp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Supreme Court has said it won’t intervene when Republican politicians manipulate district lines for partisan purposes. This decision was wrong, and we need legislation at the federal and state levels to stop partisan gerrymandering. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

SCOTUS has rejected the administration's politically-motivated citizenship question in the 2020 Census for now, but President Trump has already made clear he will keep trying to depress census participation. We must continue to protect the census & ensure everyone is counted. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When someone comes forward with a story like this, she deserves to be heard and taken seriously. This isn’t only about what happened in the past—it’s also about the message we send to all women & survivors in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt struck down restrictions that placed an undue burden on women’s access to abortion—but this important progress is at stake if extreme politicians are able to roll back abortion access altogether. We must keep up the fight to protect #RoeVWade. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I’m proud to reintroduce the 1st federal ban on sham “conversion therapy” with @SenBooker & @RepTedLieu. This bill would: ➡️classify conversion therapy as fraudulent ➡️clarify that providing it is a deceptive practice ➡️ensure federal & state officials can enforce the ban — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I've been proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the LGBTQIA+ community to continue our progress to achieve full equality and work to expand protections to help members of the community thrive. But there's still so much work to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

50 years after the Stonewall protests sparked the modern movement for LGBTQIA+ equality, proud to speak on the Senate floor to proudly say that I am an unapologetic ally of this vibrant community. #PrideMonth https://t.co/5Ihnn8bajS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Speaking out about PTSD and asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Today for National #PTSDAwarenessDay, let’s continue working together to reduce the stigma of PTSD and ensure everyone—especially veterans—have access to the mental health services they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If we can come to the agreements we did in the #LowerHealthCareCosts Act, there's no reason we can’t reach agreement on the larger health care challenges too if we focus on what’s best for patients. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s great that the bipartisan #LowerHealthCareCosts Act, which would provide needed relief to families and patients, is moving forward. While this is an important step to address the skyrocketing costs of health care, there is still so much we need to do. https://t.co/K2UbhzI76q — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A new court ruling found that President Trump can be held accountable for accepting money from foreign gov'ts through his hotels & other properties—a direct violation of the Constitution. We need more transparency to help ensure no one is above the law. https://t.co/aC42nnx28B — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Recent reports about the safety and health conditions for children at our southern border are appalling and cruel. We must have a hearing to get to the bottom of this and hold people accountable. https://t.co/jFhdxiFTTL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Proud of Ellie Durgarian's project highlighting the history of Hanford's nuclear site. Ellie is right that the gov't has a moral and legal responsibility to clean up Hanford—and I'll keep pushing to ensure it remains a priority in the other Washington. https://t.co/O6ZNaEVLJ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's time Secretary DeVos does her job and starts to process the 158,000 borrower claims, including almost 5,000 in WA state, from former students who have been defrauded by #4Profit colleges. Not only is it the law, it's the right thing to do. #BorrowerDefense — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

No one should be worried that they, or their loved ones, will lose their life because they can’t afford the drugs they need. It's well past time we put patients over profits and take strong steps to lower prescription drug costs. https://t.co/XgqX2S5ZKb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As tensions escalate with Iran, Democrats and the American people need an opportunity to weigh in on legislation to defend our national security priorities. Republican leaders need to open up the amendment process and give Congress the opportunity to discuss, debate, and act. https://t.co/Coka4QFhNe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SenateDems are doing everything we can to stop the partisan lawsuit that would take away protections for people with pre-existing conditions and health care for millions more Americans. It’s time Senate Republicans stand with Democrats—and patients—to #ProtectOurCare. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I will always stand with patients to #ProtectOurCare—that’s why I joined @SenateDems to speak out against the blatantly partisan lawsuit being backed by the Trump Administration and Republican leaders. https://t.co/KtPLLSLG6O — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This #PrideMonth, I want to recognize Seattle resident and my 2017 #SOTU guest, Rose Owens, who has spent her life fighting for health care reform. I'm inspired by her bravery and grateful for her work to speak out and fight for affordable and quality health care for everyone. https://t.co/OBfKbClsG2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Stop Child Summer Hunger Act would make sure families in Washington state and across the country have the support they need so no kids are left wondering where their next meal will come from. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Administration’s proposal to abandon Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers was a bad idea from the start, & I’m pleased they listened & walked back this decision. I’ll keep working to ensure these centers have the resources they need to thrive. https://t.co/xVvqM7x538 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Securing our elections to guarantee that they're both free and fair must be a top priority. I pushed for an amendment to ensure our elections are decided by the American people and the American people only—without the influence of foreign actors. https://t.co/6q4aTSINqq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump's @USDA may do everything it can to hide the devastating realities of climate change from families, but it can’t stop the rest of us from shining a spotlight on the facts. https://t.co/fGgrd9rwPW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Proud to join @RepSlotkin and our colleagues to introduce a resolution that reaffirms our commitment to strengthening #TitleIX and fighting to expand equity and opportunities in the education system for all students across the country. https://t.co/cMgX3Uzsoo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Families want us to fight for them, & help make sure they can get the quality, affordable care they need. President Trump & Republicans are doing the exact opposite & arguing in court to strike down protections for pre-existing conditions & strip health care away from millions. https://t.co/yhGhSA8Ftr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Those of us in who believe in science and are concerned for future generations recognize that climate change is an urgent threat—not just to our environment, but also to our health. We must continue to push for meaningful efforts to #ActOnClimate now. https://t.co/kPCwip8Pal — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

YES! Congratulations to the @USWNT for their victory today and for making it to #FIFAWWC Quarterfinals. We are all so proud of you and excited to keep cheering you on. #OneNationOneTeam — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Kids in Washington state and across the country should never wonder where their next meal will come from. I introduced the Stop Child Summer Hunger Act with @RepSusanDavis to fix this. We cannot allow any children to continue to fall through the cracks. https://t.co/h898Mcgyxt — PolitiTweet.org
