Every single Republican who’s claimed they’re worried about our economy and getting people back to work should be clamoring to support #BuildBackBetter—a fully paid for plan that’s truly going to help working families and our bottom line. 🦗 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state is on the frontlines of the climate crisis, and I’ve made clear that action on climate is long overdue. This is the urgency of #BuildBackBetter—and we absolutely must pass it as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

No one should be forced to remain pregnant and carry their pregnancies to term against their will. Full stop. Protecting the right to abortion is about ensuring patients can make their own decisions about their heath, future, and lives—and I will keep fighting to defend it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As we continue to learn more about the Omicron variant, here’s what you can do right now to help keep yourself, loved ones, and community safe: 💉 Get vaccinated 💉 Get boosted 💉 Get your kids ages 5 and up vaccinated — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure law, every week is infrastructure week. And in Washington state, you should expect new and repaired roads, more public transit, increased access to affordable broadband, new jobs, and so much more thanks to this historic law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I teamed up with my friend & patient advocate @morethanmySLE to help spread the word: open enrollment to sign up for health care coverage is underway. Now through December 15 you can get coverage that starts on January 1. Visit https://t.co/TWIHimEx90 today and sign up! https://t.co/nqldOBijrp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I spoke with the Vancouver Housing Authority, local housing providers, and recipients of federal housing relief about how funding from the American Rescue Plan is helping keep families housed in Clark County during the pandemic—and how #BuildBackBetter will build on this work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We must do more to ensure that people with disabilities can live independently, are paid fair wages in competitive, integrated employment, & more. As we build back from this pandemic, I’m working to ensure we come back stronger and fairer for us all. #IDPWD2021 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@ChrisMurphyCT is right—acts of gun violence should not be happening in our schools, communities, businesses, or anywhere, and we have to take action. We can’t let Republicans stand in the way of doing what’s right—we need to pass comprehensive gun safety reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Right now, too many people still can’t find affordable health care coverage. Passing #BuildBackBetter will be a big step towards closing coverage gaps, lowering costs, & and getting everyone the care they need. https://t.co/QUxJJ3Eab6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Expanding free, at-home, rapid COVID-19 tests is exactly what we’ve needed and is an important step towards keeping people safe from this virus and emerging variants like Omicron. https://t.co/aXfWGEPRE8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #BuildBackBetter Act will establish the Civilian Climate Corps, which will help get people back to work conserving our public lands and waters, bolstering community resilience, and combatting the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@USCCFoundation’s new report shows yet again what working parents across the country are saying: there can’t be a full economic recovery from the pandemic without quality, affordable child care options for families—and that’s what #BuildBackBetter will do. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT @SenateDems: #BuildBackBetter will mean a “stronger, fairer economy that works for working people, with higher wages and better jobs and… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

No matter what happens—at the Supreme Court and otherwise—I will never stop fighting for reproductive rights. That starts by passing the Women’s Health Protection Act in the Senate to affirm #RoeVWade & ensure the right to abortion is finally protected at the federal level. https://t.co/1DfhAASeeo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While we’ve made progress addressing HIV/AIDS, many people still face harmful stigmas and many more can’t get the health care they need. We must continue working to end the HIV epidemic and support people living with HIV. #WorldAidsDay https://t.co/ri14uaBMjR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m continuing to stay in touch with the Biden Admin about Omicron & the steps we’re taking to respond. While experts learn more about this new variant, we need to get vaccinated, boosted, and follow public health guidance to keep it from spreading. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Importantly, this will be fully paid for by making sure the wealthiest and those at the very top finally pay their fair share. #BuildBackBetter is about delivering for working families in WA state and across the country. Let's get this passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

That’s why #BuildBackBetter includes historic investments to: ✅ Lower families’ child care costs by capping them at 7% of their income, ✅ Help states invest in opening new child care providers, ✅ Raise wages in the early childhood workforce, ✅ & add more child care openings. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

20,000 child care providers closed during the pandemic, and even as child care providers try to reopen their doors now, child care workers are struggling to make ends meet. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

And as any parent knows—you can’t go to work if you don’t have any options to make sure your kids are taken care of. It’s upended our workforce during this pandemic, and it’s Black women, Latinas, women who are paid low incomes, and single mothers who have been most affected. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For many families, child care costs more today than they often pay for rent, a mortgage, or even college tuition. But even for those who can afford it, many can’t find it. Nearly half of families nationwide don’t have enough child care providers near them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We simply can’t get our economy back on track, get people back to work, or return from this crisis stronger and fairer if we don’t—at long last—address our nation’s child care crisis. For so many parents, child care is unavailable and unaffordable—and that’s unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE: Addressing our nation's child care crisis is a necessity. I’m speaking on the Senate floor about how passing #BuildBackBetter will finally make quality child care affordable for working families. https://t.co/MW2kRDOVn8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Nearly 1.4 million children in WA state have benefited from the expanded #ChildTaxCredit. This has helped families put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads, and so much more. By passing #BuildBackBetter, we can extend this much needed relief. https://t.co/yWn9RcOugp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s absolutely wrong that extreme Republicans don’t want patients to be able make their own decisions about their health, futures, or lives—& their backwards policies force people to remain pregnant & carry their pregnancies to term against their will. We must protect #RoeVWade. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If SCOTUS overturns #RoeVWade, half of the states in our country are poised to ban abortion entirely & restrict patients’ ability to get essential health care. That’s unacceptable—& it’s one of the many reasons I’m working to protect the right to abortion at every step. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We won’t back down from protecting the right to abortion from any attacks—including the case being heard at the Supreme Court today. Anti-abortion laws are wrong. They’re harmful. And we must reject them. https://t.co/gLtPYLn6md — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Senate may have a lot to do, especially after Senate Republicans spent so long doing so little—but Democrats are going to get it done and deliver for families. https://t.co/F1UdxXBwHO — PolitiTweet.org
