Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After leading the charge in urging @POTUS to act boldly to protect abortion access, I'm glad to see him take further action today even with limited executive authority. These steps are good & important, but the post-Roe health care crisis is urgent. This fight is far from over. — PolitiTweet.org

Rich Trumka was a champion for workers. The labor movement is stronger because of his tireless advocacy and work. I am so glad to see @POTUS award him the presidential Medal of Freedom today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I cannot think of a more fitting honor for Seattle's @mPinoe than the presidential Medal of Freedom. She has been a champion for equal pay and equal rights, and an inspiration to the people of our state and women and girls everywhere. Congratulations, Megan! https://t.co/gL2LZxi7Z3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I met with folks at Spokane Planned Parenthood today to hear about their work in this critical moment. Just miles away, Idaho is set to enact a cruel abortion ban, forcing countless women to travel here to get abortion care, creating an influx. This is a health care crisis. https://t.co/i0kc2Y38lj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The rollout of the Cerner electronic health record system has been unacceptable—and has put WA state veterans at risk. I was on-site at @SpokaneVA to discuss the ongoing problems and continue pushing for better solutions for our veterans and VA employees. https://t.co/qvfw42QF4b — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A fairer, stronger economy means: ✔️ A tax system that works for everyone—not just those at the top. ✔️ Strong unions and organizing rights. ✔️ Lower costs on the basics. ✔️ And so much more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans are forcing women to stay pregnant even when they don’t want to be & no matter their personal circumstances. They think women should have fewer rights—& have a harder time getting the birth control and other essential care they need. We've got to keep fighting back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The last thing anyone needs is to have their finances turned upside down & the pension they worked so hard to earn ripped away—through no fault of their own. I fought for pension relief that has already saved benefits for 100K+ workers & retirees, & today's steps build on that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I strongly believe that everyone should be able to afford rent or a mortgage. That’s not asking too much—and it’s why I am fighting in Congress to secure a major federal investment in housing to boost supply and expand resources to help end homelessness. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The overturning of #RoeVWade is cruel—plain and simple. But we have to channel that frustration into action. Making our voices heard and voting this November is our best and clearest path forward to protect abortion rights in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

My heart is with everyone in Highland Park and Philadelphia after yesterday's devastating shootings. But this is a solvable problem—and a patchwork of gun safety laws in some states isn't enough. We need strong federal gun safety reforms immediately to help save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I have comprehensive plans to help families afford child care, guarantee paid leave, raise the federal minimum wage, make sure people can afford health care, and so much more. If Republicans were actually “pro-life,” they’d support these plans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I negotiated a historic bipartisan agreement to lower drug costs by finally making safe drug importation from Canada a reality. I’m going to do everything I can to get it passed—and it’s just one step I’m working on to lower health care costs for WA state families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We’re only halfway through the year and there have already been over 20,000 gun violence deaths across the country. The bipartisan bill we passed will save lives, but we need to do more to keep WA state families safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Where you live shouldn’t determine your ability to make your own health care decisions. Abortion care is essential health care and I will fight with everything I've got to protect a woman's right to choose. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Housing prices have been on the rise in Washington state for the last decade—faster than most families can catch up to. I’m pushing to increase the supply of affordable housing with bold federal action that will lower costs for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Right now too many working families are falling behind while corporations and those at the top make record profits. We need to build a fairer, stronger economy by passing the #PROAct and strengthening workers’ rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT @HELPCmteDems: Today we celebrate the anniversary of the @USEEOC, a crucial agency that protects workers' rights & combats workplace har… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A federal abortion ban would make it illegal for women to get abortions everywhere—including in Washington state. That’s the future the GOP are building toward, and why it’s so important we speak out and fight back now to stop them. https://t.co/CNE1zvHGou — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Whether you’re leaving town or sticking around this holiday weekend, you should be able to get to where you need without breaking the bank at the gas pump. Yet oil companies are price gouging and making record profits. They need to be held accountable—and I’m working on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This #DisabilityPrideMonth, we honor and celebrate the many contributions people with disabilities have made to Washington state and our country. It's also a reminder that we need to make sure every single policy we enact is equitable and supports everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

You should be able to afford the care you need. That’s why I’m working to lower the costs of health care, prescription drugs, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans didn’t just set the Supreme Court up to ban abortion, they BLOCKED our attempts to protect women’s rights every time we brought a bill to the floor. We have to fight back every way we can: through executive action by @POTUS, in Congress, & by voting this November. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today’s ruling by extremist, Republican-backed judges is devastating news for our planet and environment—and another urgent reason Congress has to pass bold policies to tackle the climate crisis. I'll keep fighting to deliver a landmark investment in climate action ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's great to see Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson take her seat on the Supreme Court today. I'll keep fighting for justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson who will enforce the law fairly and justly. SCOTUS should protect and advance our rights—not take them away. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Let's get two more pro-choice Democrats to the Senate and let's get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I spoke with abortion providers from across WA state about the devastating impact of the fall of #RoeVWade. Hear how Anna Dowling from the Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood shares what the Supreme Court decision means for a woman's ability to make her own health care decisions: https://t.co/PFNET5Izbh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So many people's lives will be impacted by SCOTUS ripping away a women's ability to make her own health care decisions. We have to hold onto the feeling of urgency we have right now and get to work to protect access to abortion care. https://t.co/Ojnn2xsAgg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While I’m fighting alongside Democrats to make child care affordable and expand paid leave, Republicans are actively opposing our plans—all while pushing a federal abortion ban to force women to give birth. They claim they’re the party that supports families—they’re not. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’ve been pushing @SecBecerra to act to protect abortion rights for weeks alongside @SenWarren. I’m glad to see him take these first steps today. It’s so important that medication abortion is available to patients, people’s privacy is protected, & everyone can get birth control. — PolitiTweet.org
