To the trans community in Washington state and across the country: I see you. I am with you. I will fight with you in every way I can against the cruel attacks by extreme Republicans across the country. #TransDayOfVisibility — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At today’s @SenateBudget hearing, I asked @OMBPress Director Young about @POTUS’s proposed budget. We can lower costs & make important investments for WA state communities like boosting our housing supply just by making sure giant corporations just pay their fair share. https://t.co/2Jhw6wvKlO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While Republicans are working to undermine the Title X program, I’m fighting to protect it—because I know what these resources mean here in WA state. This funding means more patients can get birth control, breast and pelvic exams, STI testing, and more. https://t.co/45lN7hXGhg — PolitiTweet.org

The Idaho abortion ban isn’t just devastating for patients in their state—it’s going to make it harder for patients in Washington state to get the care they need, too. https://t.co/H8acMkOUy8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

My job is to push for local priorities like the Howard Hanson Dam to be federal priorities too. This new federal support will help recover iconic salmon runs, honor tribal treaty obligations, get clean drinking water to the region & protect from flooding. https://t.co/dgG97ka6xo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Let’s lower child care costs for working parents. Let’s offer parents more options. Let’s raise wages for early educators. Let’s support child care providers. Let’s work towards a fairer economy and pass my bold child care plan now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We've got to get funding for a COVID-19 supplemental passed soon. Let's get both that package and aid for WA state restaurants passed together to make sure we're doing everything to keep every part of our economy up and running. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I don't think that's fair. Restaurants are often the heart of our communities. They're critical to our economy & they're what make our cities & towns unique. I want us to look at every possible option to replenish this fund, & I know there's bipartisan support to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

More than 3,500 Washington state businesses have received over $9 billion in federal loans, grants, and debt relief since the start of the pandemic. But for many restaurant owners, the funds were gone before they were able to get the same relief their neighbor got. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I went to the Senate floor to talk about the need to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. This has been a lifeline for Washington state restaurant owners, but it's clear in talking to them that support is still needed. https://t.co/w5NDXE6AeP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I called the @WhiteHouse tonight asking them to re-evaluate the Title 42 order to allow people seeking asylum into the U.S. While we must continue to slow the spread of COVID through testing & vaccinations, public health tools like this should be driven by science, not politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We’ve got to make sure veterans harmed by toxic exposures during their service to our country get the care they deserve—it’s part of our commitment. At today’s @SVACDems hearing, I asked @SecVetAffairs about the legislation we’re considering to strengthen that commitment. https://t.co/swAgYY8NYA — PolitiTweet.org

So glad @SecMartyWalsh and I could join @WAAFLCIO and union leaders from across Washington state last week. From strengthening registered apprenticeship programs to passing the #PROAct, I am fighting every day in the other Washington for our state's workers. https://t.co/gfX9G9HY6d — PolitiTweet.org

Building a fairer and stronger economy for everyone absolutely has to include fixing our nation's child care crisis. I'm determined to get my child care plan passed and to @POTUS's desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need to make sure retirement & savings options work for all Americans because it’s clear right now they aren’t working as well as they could. There’s bipartisan support for taking real action here, & as Chair, I’m committed to helping people save for retirement & emergencies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I worked early in the pandemic to support families—& right now, I’m focused on lowering costs across the board so they have more money to make ends meet and save for the future. But we've also got to take steps to enhance people’s emergency savings & retirement security. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Before this pandemic started, the Federal Reserve found that almost 2 in 5 Americans would struggle to come up with even $400 in an emergency. COVID-19 was exactly the kind of crisis millions of families simply could not afford. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Many families in WA state were forced to raid their savings just to make ends meet—savings for retirement, college funds, a house down payment, & more. Nationwide, many still lack access to a retirement plan & were never paid enough to make ends meet—let alone save. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE: I’m chairing a Senate HELP Committee hearing on how we can strengthen people’s finances and improve their retirement security. The COVID-19 pandemic upended our economy, and with it the financial security of people across the country. https://t.co/Zx7vC5sDDn — PolitiTweet.org

Whether it's caring for an older relative or a child with a disability, this pandemic has been incredibly difficult on our nation's caregivers. I'm working to do everything we can to better support caregivers & give them the raises they deserve. https://t.co/SPLK4DDTIZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Small business owners are dealing with increased costs from inflation, shortages of everything from straws to chicken wings, challenges finding wait staff and cooks, & so much more. That’s why I’m pushing to get more direct relief to our state’s restaurant owners ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Extreme Republicans have passed a hateful, cruel law—but they won't succeed in erasing the identities of kids simply trying to live their lives. To LGBTQIA+ youth in Florida and nationwide—I hear you, I'm with you, and I'm going to fight for you however I can. — PolitiTweet.org
