Good news! The Senate passed the #EndForcedArbitration Act today to help survivors of workplace sexual harassment & sexual assault seek justice. This is a long-overdue step we should build on with additional steps to empower all workers and protect their rights. — PolitiTweet.org

My child care plan: dramatically lower costs for working families and make quality child care way, way easier to find. The Republican child care plan to lower costs: https://t.co/QSKvm2tLQk — PolitiTweet.org

People have a right to make their voices heard in our democracy. Strengthening federal voting rights protections is essential to making sure that happens. — PolitiTweet.org

It's the law for insurers to cover birth control without out of pocket costs—and yet too many women are still forced to jump through hoops or pay extra. The steps by the Biden Admin to right this wrong are helpful, but there's still more work ahead. https://t.co/mMGNPlwR46 — PolitiTweet.org

Even as COVID-19 cases drop in Washington state, it's as important as ever to get vaccinated and boosted if you haven’t already. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For students experiencing homelessness or in foster care, getting an affordable higher education can be an uphill battle. It shouldn’t be this way—our higher education system has to support them. I helped introduce a bill to do just that. https://t.co/SMJhh0D0KJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I successfully pushed for legislation that puts us firmly on the path toward making broadband accessible to all, cuts internet costs, and will finally bridge the digital divide in WA state. Everyone needs a reliable internet connection. https://t.co/ICyGrcMXT8 — PolitiTweet.org

Hi, @HillaryClinton. Meta got my letter. Still no reply, and unsurprisingly, no plan to fix this. Not sure if their response got lost in the metaverse? More to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

What does this even mean? So a student with two moms can't mention their parents in class? Our country has real work ahead to help students recover academically from the last two years. Meanwhile, the GOP is pushing political bills that hurt LGBTQIA+ kids. Shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We acted to strengthen our nation’s roads, bridges, and transit. And families also need support bringing down the costs of child care, prescription drugs, and so much more. Let’s deliver for them and build an economy that works for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

*GOOD* news for reproductive health care. This decision to uphold the Biden Admin's #TitleX rule is a big win to protect patients' ability to get the reproductive health care they need from providers they trust. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People in WA state want more & better public transit—I hear it from them all the time. This new funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will support transit agencies, create jobs, result in less pollution & congestion, & mean shorter commutes & more equitable communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state—you can now order more at-home COVID-19 tests thanks to @WADeptHealth’s Say Yes! COVID Test program. Click the link below to order tests online or call the Washington State COVID-19 Hotline (1-800-525-0127). https://t.co/zZxi5Ggb7B — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The pandemic has made the mental health & substance use challenges our nation faces worse than ever, but it's also made clear that we all have a stake in getting people the care they need. Our bipartisan work will help support communities on the frontlines of these crises. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Simply put, members of Congress shouldn't be using insider knowledge to make money in the stock market. @ossoff's Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act is an overdue & common-sense step to ensure elected officials are focused on serving constituents—not lining their own pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm glad @VP and the White House are committed to supporting workers by strengthening pro-union policies in the federal government. In the Senate, I'm working to empower workers and protect their right to join a union by passing the #PROAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have to do everything we can to support workers with disabilities and strengthen our federal programs. Ernesto, a worker with a disability from WA state, shared with me how these programs have made such a difference in his life—and in the lives of so many. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This pandemic has shown how innovative practices can boost accessibility in our workforce programs and in businesses across the country. This is progress we should be building on—instead of returning to a “normal” that didn’t work for so many people in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

These barriers add up to a devastating effect. The poverty rate for people with disabilities is a whopping 26%—that’s just not okay. These problems are bad for people with disabilities—but also for everyone. We should be embracing inclusive practices and improving accessibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

But they’re still facing other longstanding barriers to joining the workforce, participating in their communities, & obtaining economic self-sufficiency. Barriers like: ▪️Ableism ▪️False expectations ▪️Discrimination ▪️Inaccessible workplaces ▪️Pay discrimination ▪️& much more — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People with disabilities are at even higher risk of severe COVID-19 and are over-represented in essential jobs that put them at higher risk of exposure. Workers with disabilities are grappling with lost wages, job loss, and long-term unemployment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This pandemic has been hard on workers, and while we’ve made great progress in our economic recovery, we’re far from done. Workers are still facing too many challenges to get the training, education, & support they need—& for workers with disabilities, they’ve been even greater. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE: I’m chairing a Senate HELP Committee hearing on employment opportunities and challenges for people with disabilities. We must do everything we can to include everyone we can in our country’s future as we build back from the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/fv998Puss1 — PolitiTweet.org

My heart goes out to the Richland community after today's shooting and I'm thinking of our first responders working to apprehend the shooter and keep everyone safe. No one should have to live in fear of gun violence—not in our grocery stores, our schools, or anywhere else. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The majority of Americans support #RoeVWade and don't want to see it overturned—they want a country where everyone can control their own bodies and their own futures. That's what I'm fighting for. RT if you're with me. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As Chair of @HELPCmteDems, I’m fighting every day to protect every single worker’s right to form and join a union—and that absolutely includes Congressional workers. If they choose to exercise that right, I would support it wholeheartedly. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

ICYMI: I recently joined @MomsRising and Seattle families for a virtual town hall where I discussed the work I’m doing in the other Washington to help support our state’s parents and families. https://t.co/WxgWq4PoYt — PolitiTweet.org
