You can’t bring back American manufacturing without workers—& those workers need child care. Having quality, affordable child care is as fundamental as having a road to get to work. This is a key step by @SecRaimondo, & I’ll keep pushing to help every family afford child care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear the oral argument for a GOP-backed lawsuit to stop @POTUS's student loan debt relief program. Republicans are doing everything they can to stop millions of Americans from getting much-needed relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans' abortion bans have overwhelmed doctors with patients who've had to wait weeks & travel hundreds of miles to get an abortion in states where it's legal—& they aren't stopping there. Republicans are now supporting a nationwide ban on medication abortion. It's shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

.@FoodLifeline has made a huge difference for the people of Western WA by serving 1M+ people facing hunger. It was great to see it in action this week and hear how they're putting the federal funding I secured to use to build a new Community Food Hub in South Seattle. https://t.co/b57c8Koaee — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It was great to tour the new Mud Mountain Dam fish passage facility in Enumclaw and hear more about how the partnerships at the local, state, federal, and Tribal levels support salmon in the White River. I will continue to monitor progress at this important project. https://t.co/9pUcvvFP5a — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm always fighting to put our nation's workers first—that means making sure every worker has a living wage, a safe workplace, paid leave, and a secure future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So many people in Ferndale, Bellingham & across Whatcom County rely on Slater Road to get where they need to go, but the constant flooding & closures are a real problem. I visited this week with Lummi Nation & county leaders to hear what they need to make this road more reliable. https://t.co/Ld3YmAEyon — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This week I met with local elected and business leaders from across Tacoma and @PierceCo to talk about everything from supporting the workforce to affordable housing. They have a lot planned to support the South Sound and I look forward to being a partner in all their work ahead. https://t.co/nC3gZUtSdV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We are one year into Russia's brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine. I am continually inspired by the Ukrainian people's resilience and determination to protect democracy. The United States stands with Ukraine in its fight. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I visited @mcfhc253 in Tacoma to learn more about how they're expanding all their amazing services—and under one roof. Whether it's providing local families with child care or mentoring opportunities, supporting centers like these is a no-brainer. https://t.co/dARr9NB4Ws — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

No one should have to choose between paying for their insulin or other everyday essentials like food or rent. I was in Tacoma today to discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act is capping insulin at $35/month for seniors—& make clear I'll keep pushing to cap the cost for everyone. https://t.co/CHTEJJHHbk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

MAGA Republicans have: ❌investigated a doctor for providing care to a child who was raped ❌proposed funding to jail people for abortions ❌discussed using existing child safety laws to prosecute women who use abortion pills They're on a crusade to control women's bodies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Whether you're walking, cycling, or rolling to your destination, our streets have got to be safe. Great to join @MayorofSeattle & local leaders & advocates today to discuss our work to keep Seattle's streets safe for ALL pedestrians & the funding I helped secure to help do that. https://t.co/1ICHNZuIKj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state is a global leader in manufacturing & technology innovation. I've kept our state top of mind as Congress works to strengthen U.S. competitiveness globally & help us get ahead of China. It was great to meet with local leaders & businesses today to discuss this. https://t.co/wliwtJc8RH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

✅ Inflation Reduction Act ✅ Bipartisan Infrastructure Law ✅ CHIPS and Science Act We're pushing the boundaries on American innovation and helping strengthen our competitive advantage on the global stage—all while creating good-paying jobs here at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I toured the WSU Breadlab at @PortofSkagit and talked to the folks who use this space to support farmers and the agricultural industry in the Skagit Valley. Supporting agricultural research matters—for our economy and producers, and for keeping food on the table. https://t.co/hFLhYURpdv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I met with veteran advocates in Bellingham today to discuss how the implementation of our bipartisan PACT Act is going to help so many WA state veterans get the health care they've earned. As the new @SenateApprops Chair, I'll keep pushing at every step to support our veterans. https://t.co/WczAk4vZZW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The insulin cap for patients on Medicare is huge—but it’s just a first step. When we live in a country where 1 in 5 adults who need insulin skip or ration it due to high costs, it’s clear we need to do more. We’ve got to cap the cost of insulin to $35/month for EVERYONE. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Guaranteeing pre-k for every kid in the country will support our kids’ learning and growth—and help them get ahead. I won’t stop pushing until we get universal pre-K done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

House Republicans are calling for drastic, draconian cuts that will hurt families everywhere, undermine our economy, jeopardize our national security, and limit our future. But here's the thing: we don't have to put our families through this chaos. https://t.co/PD4FRcEWoi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans supporting lawsuits to ban safe and effective abortion medication isn't about science—it's about ideology. It is not about protecting women—it’s about controlling their bodies. We've got to keep fighting back. https://t.co/B6NC9WEkK9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I was honored to welcome Angélica, a mom & child care advocate from Auburn, WA as my guest to the #SOTU. Her struggle to find child care is one so many mothers can resonate with—but I'm going to keep fighting to make those stories a thing of the past. https://t.co/GhFpXexSSO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If big oil companies expect me to stay quiet while they make record profits at the expense of Washington state, they're absolutely wrong. I've put forward legislation to hold corporate price gougers accountable and you bet I'm going to push to get it passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We should be doing everything we can to root out systemic racism—that's why I'm joining @SenBooker's legislation to… https://t.co/aQ4jGrJASy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I was so excited to be at the @NASWhidbeyIslan today and meet Lieutenants Peggy Dente and Lyndsay Evans, who recently made history as part of the first ever all-women flyover ahead of the Super Bowl last weekend. What a historic achievement for women naval pilots—and WA state! https://t.co/IYu4z0pMgz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This week I had the chance to talk to folks from @WACounties, @snocounty, @PierceCo, and Cowlitz County. It was great to hear more about their priorities and work to strengthen our communities, and how I can support them at the federal level. https://t.co/WbXMLOooYB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If you're a mother sitting in a hospital taking care of your sick child, the last thing you should have to worry about is whether or not you'll be able to make next month's rent. We need paid leave for every worker in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I was so honored to introduce Joshua Jacobs at the @SVACDems hearing on his nomination to serve as Under Secretary for Benefits at @DeptVetAffairs. Joshua is a former staffer of mine who has long served WA's veterans. He is exceptionally qualified and ready for the job. https://t.co/DRiotL1csd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Seeking help is not an easy thing to do, let alone sharing it. In doing both, Senator Fetterman is showing his strength & helping break down the stigma of getting mental health treatment. I'm sending my thoughts to him & his family, & commend John on getting the care he needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For too long, harmful substances have made their way into makeup, lotion, hair care products, & so many other products people use—yet @US_FDA had little power to take action. I worked to fix this by passing legislation that finally gives FDA the authority to regulate cosmetics. — PolitiTweet.org
