Thank you, @SenKamalaHarris, for supporting #ChildCare4All! We need to do better for working families, and that includes ensuring no parent has to pay more than they can afford for high-quality child care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People across the country made clear they want Congress to make sure they can get quality, affordable health care. Democrats are fighting for impactful ideas like Medicare negotiation to bring down drug prices, and proposals to roll back President Trump’s health care sabotage. https://t.co/fiwsernm87 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

From banning trans servicemembers from the military to allowing discrimination at work or at home, this admin. has been working overtime to take away the rights of LGBTQIA+ Americans. This #PrideMonth, and every month, we stand together & fight back against these cruel attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admininstration is misleading Congress so it can use the 2020 Census as a political weapon to advance partisan gerrymandering. This is absolutely unacceptable. I will keep pushing DOJ and the Dept. of Commerce to follow the law and reverse this terrible proposal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Medicare is one of the largest purchasers of prescription drugs in the country. Letting it use its sway to negotiate lower prices is an important step we can take to bring down high prescription drug costs. If Republicans are serious about tackling this issue, they'll join us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At the end of the day, President Trump's talk is cheap, & prescription drugs are still far too expensive. It's clear Congress needs to take the lead to bring down high drug costs—& Dems are pushing to do that by allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prices. https://t.co/7LVhodBnEw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It has been three years since the tragic mass shooting at Pulse nightclub targeting the LGBTQIA+ community. Gun violence in our country has not stopped. We can truly honor those lost at Pulse & their families by passing gun reform that puts an end to these senseless tragedies. https://t.co/OwZ0RDOv3U — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 3 million students struggle to keep up in school because they don't have home internet. We need to close the "homework gap" to make sure all students have the opportunity to succeed—and the Digital Equity Act would put us on a path to do that. https://t.co/XjW2osCMhr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Last year, I worked to increase funding for child care grants because too many families are struggling to make ends meet. Because of that increase, WA state will be able to give providers larger subsidies that help cover the costs of high-quality care. https://t.co/CkGtzFXi0i — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Too many people work more than 40 hours a week and still struggle to support their families. I’m proud to introduce the Restoring Overtime Act to update our overtime rules and give families the financial security they need. https://t.co/2XjsXTMeN6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@USWNT is one of the best soccer teams in the world, but despite their successes, they make substantially less than the men’s team. I'm proud of the players for demanding #EqualPay & I'm supporting them on and off the field. https://t.co/n1jygXNz7k — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The gender pay gap hurts women, their families, and our economy in every community in every state. I'm calling on Republican leaders to end this obstruction and bring the #PaycheckFairnessAct to the Senate floor. https://t.co/bLVrVP1Cid — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So many families struggle to find affordable #summercare—putting financial strain on parents & hurting students' learning potential. My bill would make sure we do more to support working families, especially in the summer. #ChildCare4All https://t.co/9pl57bAQyZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today marks 1 year since the @FCC’s repeal of #NetNeutrality went into effect & changed the internet as we know it. The #SaveTheNet Act could fix it but Republican leaders are ignoring millions of Americans and letting the bill die in the legislative graveyard. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Because moms and dads shared their stories and used their voices last year, we were able to secure a historic increase in federal funding for child care and development. Thanks to @amprog, you can see how each state plans to use the additional funds: https://t.co/CkGtzFFH8K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

WATCH: Leader McConnell admits that the goal of extreme state #abortionbans is to roll back #RoeVWade. This is about women's ability to control their futures, decide when and whether to have a family, and be financially secure. We've got to keep speaking out. https://t.co/DfMHilvZJC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Not all reasons for getting an abortion are the same. But what should be the same is that every woman has the ability to control her body and her future by making that decision herself. https://t.co/EBbdbkZSzE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It has been over 50 years since Congress passed the #EqualPay Act—and yet women, especially women of color, still aren't paid what they deserve. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. Congress needs to pass the #PaycheckFairnessAct to ensure equal pay for equal work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Backing out of the Paris Climate Agreement was a self-inflicted injury to America’s credibility in the global fight to combat climate change. I joined 40+ @SenateDems to correct that mistake and work toward a solution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admin and Republican leaders are pushing a partisan lawsuit that would take away protections for people with pre-ex conditions, let insurers kick people off their parent’s plans, and avoid covering birth control. This is NOT what families sent us here to do. https://t.co/TKVwvNlGht — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

By removing barriers to more affordable drugs and increasing competition, changing how prices are set and negotiated, and addressing how much people pay out-of-pocket, we can put patients over profits and bring down the costs of prescription drugs. https://t.co/nnfnqftPiC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We’ve mourned with Marysville and communities across the country after tragedies caused by gun violence. Enough is enough—and this weekend, Americans are gathering at events to demand action on gun violence. #WearOrange — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Happy Pride to those celebrating today in Spokane, @YakimaPride, and Longview! I’m proud to be an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community during #PrideMonth and every month. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People should be able to manage their health care without worrying about whether they can afford their rent, their mortgage, or even their groceries. My new ideas would help lower prescription drug costs and make sure we put patients over profits. https://t.co/W37mafh0X9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today for National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we must continue our efforts to end gun violence in our country. Change doesn't happen overnight. It happens when we band together, make our voices heard, and send a loud and clear message: we have had enough. #WearOrange https://t.co/d7bQeODMKu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

To #EndAlzheimers, we must: 🔘 Keep fighting for a cure 🔘 Help patients and families manage the disease 🔘 Continue searching for treatments to prevent and delay the onset 🔘 Improve the quality of life for those living with Alzheimer's https://t.co/JqMLUJbtfs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

54 years ago, Griswold v. Connecticut laid the foundation for reproductive freedom by legalizing birth control and recognizing an individual's right to privacy when planning a family. Today, we're #GratefulforGriswold, but we need to keep up the fight to defend these rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's well past time we put patients over profits—and that means addressing the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs. https://t.co/d2A1XxuYfD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every woman—no matter where she lives or how much money she earns—should have access to high-quality preventive health care and life-saving cancer screenings, and the Jeanette Acosta #InvestInWomensHealth would help do that. #SaveOurScreenings — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The PRO Act would: ➡️ create penalties for employers that infringe on their workers’ rights ➡️ empower workers to fight for improved working conditions and higher wages ➡️ make it easier for workers and their unions to bargain with their employers without fear of retaliation — PolitiTweet.org
