Great to meet with @mintimm today! She and the @NARAL team are on the frontlines of fighting for everyone's right to reproductive health care. Together, we're going to keep pushing ahead to make sure women can get abortion care no matter what state they live in. https://t.co/piDO0yFSWi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As the new Chair of @SenateApprops, I'll continue to do what I've done my entire career: put working families & WA state first. I look forward to working with Vice Chair @SenatorCollins & all our colleagues to tackle our nation's challenges & make life better for families. — PolitiTweet.org

30 years ago, I gave one of my first speeches on the Senate floor urging Congress to pass the Family and Medical Leave Act. That legislation has been critical, but it's past time we build on it by getting national paid leave done. #FMLA30 https://t.co/mi9unqjjdT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Too many seniors & people with disabilities can’t get the home care they need & deserve—& caregivers are struggling to make ends meet with low wages. The #BetterCareBetterJobs Act I’m introducing with @SenBobCasey & @RepDebDingell will be a big boost to our caregiving system. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

One of the challenges I constantly hear about from folks in Washington state is the high cost of housing. I'm going to keep pushing to make sure we take bold federal action to lower the cost of housing for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I fought for this funding so the Salmon Bay Bridge can better help commuters, trains, maritime traffic, and goods get where they need to be—and help Washington state's economy and communities thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

#BlackHistoryMonth is a chance to celebrate the history & achievements of Black Americans. But it's also more than that: it's a reminder of the progress we've made as a country & the work that remains to achieve true equality & justice in our society. Let's keep pushing ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We've always got to make sure veterans and their families get the high-quality care they deserve—and have earned. I introduced legislation with @SenatorTester to modernize our VA facilities and build new ones so veterans can get the best care possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While people in Washington state were feeling the sting of high gas prices, companies like Chevron and ExxonMobil were making record profits in 2022. I’m working to put an end to this and all corporate price gouging. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It was great chatting with folks from the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community today. As a voice for Washington state's Tribes in the Senate, I'm working every day to make sure their priorities are heard out here in the other Washington. https://t.co/kgX8e8PW6B — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even in the face of Republican attacks on the right to abortion, @PPAAWest has never wavered in making sure women can get the reproductive health care they need. It was great to meet with folks from across WA state who are on the frontlines of this fight. https://t.co/C3gvaeurXj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The first Social Security check was given out 83 years ago today. People have worked hard to earn their Social Security and rely on it to have their backs when they retire. I will fight any efforts from MAGA Republicans in the House who want to cut Social Security—now or ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is great and long overdue news! Scientific research has shown time and time again that opening this mine would have had significant and detrimental impacts to salmon habitat in Bristol Bay and the entire region. Glad to see @EPA use its authority to block it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The child care funding boost I secured will help serve 130,000 more kids across the country. That's great progress, but I will keep pushing until we fix our child care crisis once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every woman should be able to get the abortion care she needs—regardless of what health insurance she has. I'm glad the House re-introduced the EACH Act & I'm working to do the same in the Senate. We've got to keep fighting to make sure women can get reproductive care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Great news: a record 16.3M people signed up for health care coverage during open enrollment. Also great news: so many of them are saving hundreds of dollars a year thanks to Democrats' legislation. This is just one way we're lowering health care costs for the American people! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's Twitter official: welcome to the Senate, @SenFettermanPA! I have no doubt you will be a strong voice for the people of Pennsylvania and I look forward to working together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need more than thoughts and prayers. We need strong federal gun violence prevention legislation—including a federal assault weapons ban. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This past November, voters backed abortion every single place it was on the ballot. MAGA Republicans don’t care. They’re already voting on more abortion restrictions in the House. But mark my words: Senate Democrats are ready to block them at every turn. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Restaurant Revitalization Fund was a lifeline for many locally-owned WA state restaurants, but too many of them weren't able to access that support. The tax credit I introduced with @SenatorCardin will help keep those who missed out afloat while we work to get more funds. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

My heart hurts for Tyre Nichols's family today. His murder was brutal, devastating, and, like too many others, unjust. No family should have to endure the pain Tyre's is feeling right now. We need true accountability and reform in our criminal justice system. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm always looking to improve WA state's ferry system, which is why I worked hard to secure new funds to help @wsdot expand & improve their service—& fully electrify their fleet. As someone who relies on ferries for my commute, I know how important these updates are. https://t.co/OhMBgNdo7B — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So great to officially welcome @RepMGP to Congress! I'm excited to work with her to get great things done for #WA03 and our entire state! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we remember the 6M+ Jews & so many others who were murdered during the Holocaust. The recent uptick in antisemitism & other forms of bigotry are a stark reminder that we still have a lot of work ahead to root out hate and keep people safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

No matter how hard this fight gets, I will keep pushing ahead to make sure every woman in every single state has the right to abortion. I spoke with @nowthisnews about the important work we’ve got to do in Congress: https://t.co/ICR8VS6icb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The resources & tools I passed last year will help more providers treat people facing mental health challenges, get kids more mental health support, and improve access to these services in Washington state. https://t.co/dO0TXoBlVD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m reintroducing legislation to ban the sale, transfer, manufacture, and import of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. These types of weapons have no place on our streets—and banning them is a commonsense step to help keep our communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Great to meet with @aijenpoo & folks from @domesticworkers today. They've long been fighting for better home & community-based services, stronger protections for domestic workers, big investments in paid leave & child care, & so much more. Proud to be their partner in the Senate. https://t.co/cI6qazBUD7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Reversing the dangerous & irresponsible Trump Administration rule that stripped away protections for Tongass National Forest is absolutely the right move to protect our natural resources, preserve critical salmon habitat, keep our air clean, and more. https://t.co/h7Hwm7CaZs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I successfully fought to make sure the Inflation Reduction Act puts money back in the pockets of families by lowering energy costs. Click the link below to learn more about new tax credits you might be eligible for. https://t.co/au09tIij56 — PolitiTweet.org
