Today I heard from public health officials & health care professionals in Yakima & Spokane about the strain COVID-19 is putting on our communities. While we keep working to end this pandemic, we also need to end the cycle of crisis and complacency in public health funding. https://t.co/IJRwehGOWi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Without national policies to even the playing field, our nation’s small business are left to compete with big corporations that can offer generous paid leave they simply can’t match. Passing a national paid leave program is good for small businesses and our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot overlook the alarming rise in domestic violence and sexual assault over the course of this pandemic. If you need it, the @ndvh’s free and confidential hotline is here 24/7 to help at 1-800-799-7233. #DVAM2021 — PolitiTweet.org

Here's what we need to get done if we want to #BuildBackBetter: ✔️ Make sure people have paid leave ✔️ Help parents find quality, affordable child care ✔️ Lower health care costs ✔️ Address the climate crisis ✔️ Create a fair pathway to citizenship ✔️ And so much more — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every child deserves to be safe at school—that's the absolute bare minimum. Students need protections—that's why I'm pushing legislation to ban violent and dangerous discipline practices. https://t.co/XiwCURFwc0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As we build back better from this pandemic and economic crisis, we’ve got to do more to support workers with disabilities—like investing in home and community-based services, providing paid leave, and ending subminimum wages. #NDEAM https://t.co/uf1CyDNM1B — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #NationalComingOutDay! Today and every day, I’m inspired by those working to live their full truth. I’m proud to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community, and I’ll keep fighting to achieve full equality and acceptance in our society. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This #IndigenousPeoplesDay, let’s honor & celebrate the Native peoples that are such an integral part of our history, culture, & future—especially here in Washington state. We must continue working to right the wrongs of our history & the horrors Indigenous people have faced. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Senate has to protect the right to abortion and pass #WHPA ASAP. RT if you agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

With wildfires in Washington state and out west wiping entire communities off the map, we can't wait any longer to tackle climate change. The #BuildBackBetter budget has to include bold action on climate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of so many workers and families. If you or someone you know needs support, a free and confidential national helpline is available 24/7 at 1-800-662-HELP (4357). #WorldMentalHealthDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There shouldn’t be a waitlist to get the home care you need. I’m fighting for strong investments in home and community-based services that will make caregiving services more available and ensure better wages for caregivers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Repairing our roads won’t do working parents much good if they still can’t find quality, affordable child care for their children. Our nation needs to give working families the support they need and the #BuildBackBetter budget will help do that. https://t.co/1uMm6tKdsO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Texans' ability to get constitutionally protected health care should not be turned off and on like a faucet. This is about people's lives and their decisions about pregnancy and parenting. We need federal protections. We need the Women's Health Protection Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Someone once told me that I couldn’t make a difference because I was “just a mom in tennis shoes.” I got mad, and then I got to work—because no one was going to tell me what I could and couldn’t do. Happy National Tennis Shoe Day! 👟 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Making sure workers have paid leave and families can find quality, affordable child care isn’t just good for our economy—a new report found it can also help address our nation’s maternal mental health crisis. https://t.co/ya9aoSJMDC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Lacking the devices, skills, and support necessary to use an internet connection makes it harder for so many people to get an education, apply for jobs, and more. Congress needs to get my Digital Equity Act over the finish line. #DIW2021 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Under SB8, Texans seeking an abortion would have to drive 14 times further just to get essential reproductive health care—and too many people simply can’t make that work. That’s morally wrong and unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our economy is making good progress, but let's be clear that women are still struggling. That's why policies like affordable child care and paid leave are essential to a strong recovery. https://t.co/t9dyXswvtx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate Republicans have talked a big talk about getting back to normal after this pandemic. But normal wasn’t working for so many families—and there’s a lot we’ve got to do to fix that. That’s what the #BuildBackBetter budget is about and why we’ve got to get it passed. https://t.co/0iaErRgwYE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I stand with the women across Washington state and the country who are counting on us to #BuildBackBetterWithWomen and deliver much-need policies like paid leave, better home and community-based services, affordable child care, cheaper health care, and so much more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Finally, Republicans have backed down from their unnecessary brinkmanship on paying our nation’s debts. They should do the same in December, because we aren't going to entrust our nation's credit to a process that requires the cooperation of reliably uncooperative Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT @SenateDems: “If we're going to end this thing, if we're going to reopen our economy, if we are going to save lives, we need to get ever… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need to lower the cost of higher education—full stop. That means making community college tuition-free, supporting minority-serving institutions, and increasing the Pell Grant to #BuildBackBetter. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s important to keep your COVID-19 vaccine card safe and easily accessible—and to take a photo of it for your records. If you lose your card, you can get it replaced through @WADeptHealth. https://t.co/Kt5LB0w0O7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The unique histories & perspectives of Native peoples matter—and they’ve been missing for far too long in our judicial system. By confirming Lauren King to her post in Seattle, we’re one step closer to building a federal bench that reflects the diversity of the people it serves. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For the first time in years, we’ve got a President who is determined to tackle the climate crisis and create millions of good-paying, union jobs in the process. I’ll keep pushing the Senate to #ActOnClimate and send the #BuildBackBetter budget to @POTUS’s desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Make no mistake: extreme Republicans are pushing to enforce TX's abortion ban, & across the country & in SCOTUS, Roe is still on the line. We must protect the right to abortion & ensure everyone has control over their own bodies—& that starts with passing WHPA in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Just a single day of SB8 being in effect was too many, let alone 36. So I’m incredibly thankful this injunction blocked enforcement of a cruel, dangerous law—& that Texans can breathe a small sigh of relief for now. But we can’t stop fighting for a minute. https://t.co/F1K96GU54x — PolitiTweet.org

No child should ever have to send this kind of text. No parent should have to receive it. But Chris is right: this is the new normal until the GOP stops blocking action to prevent gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org
