Ask any parent or family who’s needed paid leave but didn’t have it and they’ll tell you: paid leave is absolutely necessary for families and for our economy. I joined @PaidLeaveforAll and my colleagues today to continue the fight to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

To workers & families across WA state & the country, you’re not on your own—we’re in this together. #BuildBackBetter will put money back into your pockets, lower costs, & create good-paying job opportunities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The biggest threat to our workforce and economy is the virus that has killed over 785k people & shuttered businesses, and we should be using every tool—especially vaccines—to protect our country, economy, our families from it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m on the Senate floor urging my colleagues to vote against Republicans’ dangerous resolution that’d jeopardize our economy & pandemic response by blocking a simple, flexible, lifesaving rule for large employers to require vaccines OR weekly COVID tests. https://t.co/IwC3oknz4A — PolitiTweet.org

Without #RoeVWade, millions of patients would no longer be able to get essential health care or make their own decisions about pregnancy and parenting. We must keep speaking out against that. https://t.co/Tc3ou1me3Z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In Clark County and communities across WA state, working families can't get or afford the child care they need. #BuildBackBetter will change that by helping child care providers keep their doors open, pay their staff more, and provide higher quality care for families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even if you’ve already had COVID-19, @CDCgov recommends getting vaccinated. Getting vaccinated and boosted is the strongest way to protect yourself and your loved ones. https://t.co/hSkd76k18Z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I refuse to let Republican obstruction continue to get in the way of common-sense measures that will save lives. All options need to be on the table. It’s time we restore the Senate to make sure we can actually serve the interests of the vast majority of Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While WA state has taken action against gun violence, we can’t fully address the gun violence epidemic in this country without taking major federal action, including universal background checks and an assault weapons ban. A patchwork of gun safety laws simply isn’t adequate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans won’t even allow a debate on legislation that would save lives. How many times are we going to go through this cycle? Like so many Americans, I am done with my Republican colleagues blocking common-sense gun laws at every turn. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As my colleague @ChrisMurphyCT said last week, we are the only high income nation in the world where this happens. And it happens because we let it happen. Democrats have spent years introducing common-sense gun safety legislation just to be constantly blocked by Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Since last week’s shooting, schools across Washington state have had to increase security or lock down due to threats of violence—including my hometown high school in Bothell. In the same week, Seattle saw 6 shootings in just over 24 hours. This can’t continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As a parent and grandparent—and former pre-school teacher—I know school is supposed to be a place where our children feel safe. School is a place to learn, grow, and just be a kid. But after horrible acts of gun violence like we saw last week, that feeling disappears. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

And my heart breaks for every student in this country who grows up thinking something like this will eventually happen to them at their school—and for every parent who worries each time they send their kid off to school. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Last week, we mourned the deaths of 4 high school students following the tragic school shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan. My heart goes out to their families and friends, and to every student there who is now carrying the trauma of that experience. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m speaking on the Senate floor to call for action here in this chamber to end the crisis of gun violence we’ve long seen in our schools, neighborhoods, and across our country. I will not stay quiet & will keep pushing for change. Watch live: https://t.co/gfg0UapJP0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@LeaderMcConnell called our child care plan a "toddler takeover." Rest assured, there’s no risk of that! I don't think he actually read the bill, so I went to the Senate floor to set some facts straight on how our plan will lower families' child care costs. https://t.co/XLcBzIXTAT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We must honor the sacrifices of those lost at Pearl Harbor on this day in 1941, and remember that their service is what protected our freedom in World War II. https://t.co/tGPK6rpEbZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Seattle’s @wren_kevin had to ration insulin in 2009 due to the high costs. Now, he advocates with @WAinsulin4all to ensure no one lives that nightmare. #BuildBackBetter will help with that work by allowing insulin to be negotiated by Medicare & capping co-payments at $35/month. https://t.co/GiUxdarEyL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Tens of millions of patients depend on insulin—& many can’t afford it. I joined @ProtectOurCare, @SenTinaSmith, & @RepAnnaEshoo to talk about how #BuildBackBetter will cap the price of insulin so patients don't put their life at risk because they can’t afford essential medicine. https://t.co/dRNSxJtUfV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Under @POTUS and @VP, we are finally prioritizing maternal health and showing how much we can change when we have champions for moms at every level of government. I was glad to join @WhiteHouse today to make sure we address this crisis in #BuildBackBetter. https://t.co/7v7lm3RS48 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@TwinaNobles does powerful work with @TacUrbanLeague to address medical challenges Black women face in pregnancy & childbirth, and Black infant mortality. I was proud to see her represent WA state at @WhiteHouse’s maternal mortality event today. https://t.co/h9yg9PgHWr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans are attacking our child care plan. Here's why: they're shaking in their boots knowing we're going to do something that really helps families. https://t.co/UjLd26pl46 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If you missed @LeaderMcConnell on the floor today, here's what you need to know: the GOP plan for child care is that American families should keep paying too much for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m joining the @WhiteHouse and Congressional leaders to discuss how the #BuildBackBetter Act will finally prioritize maternal health and make sure we don’t leave mothers behind as we come back from this pandemic. Click below to watch live. https://t.co/QaBRjictEh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@CAPEarlyEd found that #BuildBackBetter would make child care free or affordable for 285,629 children in Washington state, compared to less than 20,000 children that currently get support. https://t.co/bljtAznLrY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There's not a single community I visit in WA state where the cost of housing is not at the forefront of peoples’ minds. I joined @NLIHC today to discuss how #BuildBackBetter will help repair & build affordable housing, provide housing relief, & build more equitable communities. https://t.co/lsBHSZEkvR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The best thing we can all do right now to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe from the Omicron variant is get boosted, get vaccinated, and wear a mask. https://t.co/TFMWz0ZcRT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At the end of the day, #BuildBackBetter is about bringing down costs for working families and helping build a stronger, fairer economy for everyone. That's what Democrats are fighting for. https://t.co/W2ITlDFZOu — PolitiTweet.org
