And after years of cuts & interference, this bill will make historic investments in #TitleX family planning providers & maternal health—helping patients get crucial reproductive health care while fighting our country’s unacceptable maternal mortality rate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The proposed FY2022 LHHS funding bill would finally do away with the Hyde and Weldon amendments, bringing us one step closer to ensuring the right to abortion isn’t just a right in name only—but rather one that's available for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

To avoid the massive economic and personal costs of inaction on climate we need to dramatically cut carbon emissions—and we can do that while creating quality, union jobs and boosting our economy in the process. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m determined to make sure the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the #BuildBackBetter bill move together and are done right—because having a stronger, fairer economy for workers and families means doing both. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Secretary Powell was a dedicated leader and public servant who constantly broke barriers throughout his career. Today I am thinking of his wife Alma and his entire family during this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For the parent who’s unable to take care of their sick child because they can’t afford to miss a paycheck. For the worker with a disability who’s managing their health. And for working families everywhere—know that I am fighting to make sure you can get paid leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

🚸 In order for working parents to get back to work, they need quality, affordable child care just as much as they need roads and bridges. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be hard on all of us, both physically and mentally. Don’t forget to take care of yourself—and get vaccinated to help end this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There are people in Texas, Mississippi, and across the country who are seeking an abortion and afraid they won't be able to get the health care they need. They're counting on us to fight back against attacks on abortion—and the Senate has to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our doctors shouldn't have to treat patients in hospital waiting rooms, and patients who need life-saving care or surgery for things like cancer shouldn’t be forced to wait indefinitely because hospitals are overwhelmed by unvaccinated COVID patients. https://t.co/rxloZsYMM5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The caregiving policies in #BuildBackBetter will help ensure people with disabilities and older adults can thrive at home, work, and school—and alongside their families, friends, and neighbors. — PolitiTweet.org

The cost of inaction on climate is too high—both for our planet and for the pockets of millions of people who are already dealing with this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Some Senate Republicans have suggested they know better than the experts when it comes to COVID-19. That’s just plain false. The experts and science agree: vaccines are one of our best tools to end this pandemic and we need to get more shots into arms—not less. https://t.co/dVuH2tyqnw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT if having affordable child care would make a monumental difference for you and your family. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While Republicans are shaming @SecretaryPete for taking time off to care for his new children, Democrats are fighting to make sure that every single worker has paid leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Addressing WA state's housing crisis is a top priority for me in the #BuildBackBetter budget. That means: 🏘️ Building new affordable housing 🛠️ Repairing existing housing 🏦 Extending rent assistance & pathways to homeownership 🚧 Investing in community development — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I visited @ChiefSeaClub's Eagle Village housing site to discuss why we need to make strong investments to tackle Washington state's housing and homelessness crisis. This crisis existed even before the pandemic, and simply going back to "normal" isn't enough. https://t.co/151ilyK0IJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s critical that paid leave is a part of the #BuildBackBetter budget. Working families need it, small businesses need it, and our economy needs it—and it’s on us to deliver. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Tuition-free community college is critical to helping prepare our workforce and finally making higher education more affordable. Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The right to abortion is under attack and we can’t stop fighting for a minute to protect it. We must ensure everyone has control over their own bodies—and that starts with passing #WHPA in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Getting your flu shot is the best way to #FightFlu and protect yourself and your community this flu season. And according to @CDCgov, you can get your flu shot at the same time as your COVID-19 vaccine or booster shot. 💉  https://t.co/Rqn8KGpJIG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Working families in Washington and Oregon are counting on us to deliver: 🚸 Quality, affordable child care 🤒 Paid Leave 💰 A permanent expanded Child Tax Credit And @RonWyden and I are fighting to get it done in the #BuildBackBetter budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@RonWyden and I spoke with parents and small business and education leaders today about how the #BuildBackBetter budget would level the playing field for working people in the Pacific Northwest. https://t.co/7UdNPlgkxB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So many parents need quality, affordable child care to help them get back to work. Congress can and should act to make sure they can find and afford it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Happy birthday, @USNavy! Thank you to all the women and men who bravely serve and sacrifice to protect our country—and a special thank you to all those stationed at Washington state’s Naval installations. #246NavyBirthday — PolitiTweet.org

However, I am still frustrated that a border exemption was not provided for Point Roberts. While there is light at the end of the tunnel, it’s clear that more must be done to make this community whole—and I will do everything in my power to support Point Roberts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is great news for our border communities in WA state, especially for Point Roberts which is almost entirely dependent on cross-border travel to sustain their local economy. After pushing on this for months, I’m glad to see the safe reopening of the US-Canada border. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People deserve the right to make their own decisions about their health, their future, and their lives. Texas’ abortion ban takes away that right and puts it in the hands of extreme politicians and total strangers. We must keep fighting back to protect #RoeVWade. — PolitiTweet.org
