50 years after Congress passed the #EqualPay Act, women deserve real change—especially women of color for whom the pay gap is even worse. We must pass the #PaycheckFairness Act now because our economy can only succeed if women—ALL women—can succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We must make it easier to report campus sexual assault or harassment—not harder. @BetsyDeVosED's #TitleIX rule would only require schools to respond to sexual assault reports that were made specifically to a small group of campus officials. This is wrong. https://t.co/cH5BoR2d8W — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We must pass the #PaycheckFairness Act in the Senate now. Every year, the wage gap grows and it's past time that we close the loopholes of the #EqualPay Act and make sure that women—regardless of their skin color or where they live—get paid the same as men doing the same work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As we work on reauthorizing the #HigherEd Act, we must reverse @BetsyDeVosED's harmful steps & make meaningful progress to address campus sexual assault. Students should be able to get an education without being sexually harassed or assaulted. #HandsOffIX https://t.co/LSwd4JdhcV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As we address campus sexual assault, it's imperative that we do not turn colleges into fake court rooms. The process should be unbiased and transparent and we must have a process that ensures students have access to an education without being forced to be re-traumatized. #TitleIX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This budget continues the Trump Admin's trend of ideology over women’s health by excluding Planned Parenthood from federal funding and stripping #TitleX family planning funds that help millions of people get birth control, cancer screenings and other basic health services. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When it comes to medical research, President Trump's budget is a small step forward and a marathon sprint back. For every new penny President Trump proposes for pediatric cancer research—he proposes cutting a dollar from @NIH. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When it comes to curbing the HIV and opioid epidemics, President Trump promised solutions, but his budget would make these crises far worse by cutting over $1 trillion from Medicaid over the next decade and repealing Medicaid expansion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump’s budget bulldozes right families' concerns about their health care, with proposals that would make it harder for people to get care, and cuts that would undermine the well-being of families across the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump is fighting in court • against pre-existing condition protections • for bringing back annual and lifetime caps on benefits • for letting insurance companies offer plans that don't cover essential services like maternal care and prescription drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

But President Trump is fighting in court to take health care away from millions of people who are covered through the exchanges, covered through Medicaid, covered by their parents' plans, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People across the country made clear last November they want us to fight for their health care—that means standing up for protections that allow people with pre-existing conditions to get quality, affordable health coverage and bringing down skyrocketing health care costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After 50 years, women deserve real change. I hope Senate Republicans can join Democrats in supporting the #PaycheckFairness Act. It's time for bold action to ensure that equal pay for equal work is not just the goal—but the reality. Let's make this happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People across the country are watching closely—and they will NOT forget who stood with them and who tried to take their health care away. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We must continue to lift up the voices of campus sexual assault survivors, listen to their stories, & use them to influence our decisions. I stand w/ all of you across the nation & I’m going to keep fighting to stop what happened to you from happening to other students. #TitleIX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Sarah from WA found she had been raped & yet was forced to go to school with her assaulter—#TitleIX “failed her entirely.” There's much more that Congress & schools need to do to prevent sexual assault & ensure students feel safe after it does happen. https://t.co/cH5BoR2d8W — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s far past time we: - close the loopholes in the Equal Pay Act - give women the tools and protections they need to ensure they are being paid fairly I hope that Senate Republicans can join us in supporting the #PaycheckFairness Act because this shouldn't be a partisan issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thousands of students, parents, teachers, and experts across the country have pointed out that parts of @BetsyDeVosED's proposed #TitleIX rule are callous, ignore the experiences of survivors, and are likely to discourage students from coming forward. https://t.co/LSwd4JdhcV — PolitiTweet.org

President Tump and Republicans can’t be the “party of health care” when they're trying to take it away from hundreds of millions of people. Join Democrats in defending families' care—instead of trying to strike it down. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/ShcpA7hyJi — PolitiTweet.org
