We cannot afford to fall behind when it comes to fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. That's why I'm pushing for the funding our communities need for more tests, treatments, and vaccines to fight this virus—and whatever it throws at us next. https://t.co/YPqLCkZf7b — PolitiTweet.org

It's illegal for insurance companies to force patients to jump through hoops or pay out of pocket for birth control—but that's not the reality many patients face. I've been pushing for solutions to make sure insurers follow the law and I'm glad the Biden Admin is taking action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate GOPs blocking my bill to the right to birth control shows just how out of touch they’ve become. It’s been 60 years since SCOTUS affirmed the right to birth control—& the vast majority of Americans support it—but we can’t take anything for granted. I’ll keep fighting. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Salmon recovery has got to be a major federal priority. The provisions I helped secure in this year's WRDA will help restore critical salmon habitat, improve our water infrastructure, and help ensure WA families have clean, safe drinking water. https://t.co/fy6CMpcS2s — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Whether it’s in Washington state or Washington, D.C.—I’ll always stand with workers. That absolutely includes standing with Senate cafeteria workers in their fight for the contract, wages, and benefits they’ve rightfully earned. I will not cross the picket line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We’re living through the devastating consequences of a post-Roe health care crisis. Every action we take in response has to be bold. Our government spending bill includes a historic fund to get people the abortion care they need—& so much more. https://t.co/ICtsrpZi8H — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats are pushing legislation to lower the costs of prescription drugs and health care coverage. Republicans are—once again—actively trying to sabotage the Affordable Care Act. The difference couldn’t be more clear. https://t.co/uCkCm3CeIB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Inflation Reduction Act goes big on key priorities so important to WA state: lowering costs on prescription drugs & health care coverage, & taking big, bold action on climate. And critically—it’s fully paid for by building a fairer tax system. Let’s get this passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today the Senate voted on bipartisan legislation that would’ve gotten toxic-exposed Washington state veterans the care they badly need and have earned. Republicans—who already voted for it before—let it fail. How dare they use veterans as a bargaining chip. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is how extreme Senate Republicans have become: today they BLOCKED my bill to protect a woman’s right to birth control. This is an extreme overreach that shows nothing is off the table in the GOP fight to control & oppress women. The American people will remember this. https://t.co/Fz95bygjmm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Watch live as @SenMarkey pushes to pass our bill to protect the right to birth control. It’s shameful that we even have to do this—but it’s a direct result of Republicans’ extremism. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Great news! The Senate just passed bipartisan legislation that will strengthen our supply chains, invest in American manufacturing, create jobs here in Washington state, and lower the cost of everyday goods that we all rely on. We're making things in America again. 🏭 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Last week, 195 House Republicans voted against protecting a woman’s right to birth control. Tomorrow, @SenMarkey, @maziehirono, & I will fight to pass our bill to protect that right. Will Senate Republicans stand in our way to further their extreme agenda? We'll see. https://t.co/9DjuThigzf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Over 2,000 people died from a drug overdose in Washington state in 2021—a nearly 70% increase from 2019. Over half involved fentanyl. At a @HELPCmteDems hearing I led today on the fentanyl crisis, I pressed @ONDCP for details about what they’re doing to keep WA families safe. https://t.co/VNNrOs0XV8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today’s anniversary of the ADA being signed into law is a reminder of the progress we’ve made—and the work left to ensure people with disabilities are included in every single policy. That’s why I am working to make sure our laws are equitable & inclusive of everyone. #ADA32 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans across the country want to take away your birth control. Yes, BIRTH CONTROL. It’s just part of their extreme agenda to control women’s bodies & I'm fighting back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm live with @SenMarkey & @maziehirono to fight for legislation that will put in place federal protections for every single American’s right to birth control. It’s a shame this is even necessary. But like so many of our rights, it's under attack by extreme Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT @HELPCmteDems: Counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl are extremely dangerous—and alarmingly easy for teens to find, often accidentally,… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is an issue I’ve heard about in every corner of Washington state. Which is why I’m as determined as ever to work with Democrats and Republicans and build on our past bipartisan progress with a new bill to address mental health and substance use disorders. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Most people who died by overdose didn’t get any substance use disorder treatment. We have a lot more work to do to make sure our communities can get people the support and care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our communities are doing everything they can to fight this—but they need help from the federal government to stop these dangerous drugs at the source, cut off supply lines, and get people the help they need. We need to get law enforcement and first responders more resources too. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The rise in fentanyl deaths has also reflected the painful, systemic health inequities we still need to do so much to address. Black and American Indian and Alaska Native communities have suffered higher increases in overdose deaths than others. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Last year, our country lost over 100,000 people to overdose deaths—an all-time high. This isn’t just a record or a number. It represents so many personal tragedies. So many families shattered. It’s heartbreaking. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This crisis is harming so many people in Washington state. Just last week, King County declared fentanyl a public health crisis. They’ve seen a nearly 50% increase in the number of fentanyl overdose deaths compared to last year. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I’m leading a Senate HELP Committee hearing on fighting the fentanyl crisis that is devastating our communities. It’s so important we tackle this with everything we’ve got. https://t.co/x7cQJlm5Zp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT @HELPCmteDems: Starting shortly: the Senate HELP Committee is holding a hearing on the federal response to our nation’s fentanyl crisis.… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A lot of Washington state is experiencing a very hot and potentially dangerous heat wave. It's so important that you take steps to keep yourself, your loved ones, and your pets safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There is no world in which young people seeking care should be neglected or abused by the same facilities that are supposed to help them—we've got to put an end to this. Glad to be in this fight together, @ParisHilton. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Girls across the country are growing up with fewer rights than their mothers had. They are growing up in a country where they may not be able to make their own health care decisions depending on where they live. I am fighting for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Let’s recap. In the last month, Republicans: ❌ Cheered the fall of Roe v. Wade ❌ Urged a national abortion ban ❌ Blocked my bill to let women travel to get health care ❌ Blocked my bill to bolster family planning services Today’s Republican Party is as extreme as ever. — PolitiTweet.org
