Smith Introduces Legislation to Make Social Security More Equitable for Retirees
Rep. Adam Smith
Sept. 27, 2018
Tweet - "I am joining millions of women watching this hearing right now and paying very close attention to this question: will the Senate listen to women, or will it once again attack and ignore us? -PM"
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 27, 2018
Tweet - "Dr. Ford is so incredibly courageous. I am watching her at this hearing with tears in my eyes. --PM"
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 27, 2018
Tweet - "When I watched the Anita Hill hearings in '91, I didn't see anyone asking the questions I would ask. This morning I saw a Dem side that looked and sounded like our country asking Dr. Ford respectful questions, and GOP men hiding behind a hired prosecutor cross-examining her --PM"
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 27, 2018
Tweet - "Judge Kavanaugh should withdraw immediately. If GOP leaders continue to rush this nomination, women & men across the country will stand up & fight back. The Senate failed Anita Hill & all women in 1991. 27 years later--we must do better."
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 27, 2018
Tweet - "This hearing is an important step, but it can't be the last one. Two other women want to come testify to share their experiences, and there must be investigation and additional hearings. -PM #BelieveSurvivors"
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 27, 2018
Tweet - "I watched the Anita Hill hearings in 1991 at home with my daughter and it made me want to run for Senate. 27 years later I'm watching from my office in the Senate. Some things have changed, some things remain the same. -PM"
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 27, 2018
Tweet - "Dr. Ford was so brave this morning and I was so proud of the message of hope and inspiration that she sent to all sexual assault survivors. We are here for you, we will support you, we will listen to you, and we will believe you. --PM #BelieveSurvivors"
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 27, 2018
Tweet - "I watched with tears as Dr. Ford bravely shared her experience with the Senate. Judge Kavanaugh, who didn't demonstrate honesty or temperament, is asking senators for a seat on the highest court in the land--which he did not deserve today."
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 27, 2018

Duffy, Newhouse Legislation to Delist the Gray Wolf Advances in House
Rep. Dan Newhouse
Sept. 26, 2018
Tweet - ".@BetsyDeVosED's proposal to rescind the rule that allows students defrauded by for-profit colleges to have their student loans forgiven is further proof that Secretary DeVos would rather pad the pockets of for-profit colleges instead of help students."
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 26, 2018
Tweet - "Will women coming forward to share the most horrific experiences of their lives be trusted? Will they be treated like liars? Will women like Caitlin, Dr. Ford, Ms. Ramirez and others--will they be respected & listened to--or told to remain quiet? Republicans need to do this right."

Rep. Rick Larsen
Sept. 26, 2018

Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 26, 2018
Tweet - "When I was back home in WA state, I met a woman named Caitlin who told me about her experience being sexually assaulted. She explained what happened after that--the lasting pain, the victim-blaming, the insults. Caitlin is not alone and this needs to change. #BelieveSurvivors"
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 26, 2018
Tweet - "We have an obligation to show this country we take allegations seriously & investigate them absolutely. They will be listened to & heard. I plead with Senate Republicans to take a breath. Having someone on the court on October 1st is less important than getting this right."
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 26, 2018
Tweet - "Republican leaders need to listen to the women coming forward to share their experiences and investigate their allegations and the inconsistencies in Judge Kavanaugh's statements. They need to do this right."

Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 26, 2018
Tweet - "Recently I met a woman named Caitlin who told me about her experience being sexually assaulted. She said, 'I know going public with our stories opens us up to criticism.' She shared her story so that it can help others--so that I can lift it up--make sure it's being heard."

Sept. 25, 2018
Tweet - "I was the first U.S. Senator to be a mom & have kids at home when I came here. That pressure of being at work & being worried about your children has an impact on every parent that I know. That's why the Child Care for Working Families Act is so important. #ChildCare4All"
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 25, 2018
Tweet - "Senate Republicans are facing a key test right now: are they going to listen to women? Are they going to actually listen--hear what they say--treat them with respect--and truly investigate their claims? This is not something that we can "plow right through." #BelieveSurvivors"
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 25, 2018
Tweet - "If Republicans try to jam Judge Kavanaugh's nomination through, if they refuse to listen to women, & if they mistreat survivors bravely telling their stories--they will face a wave of women & men across the country who will rise up & stand for survivors."
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 25, 2018
Tweet - "When we saw what happened to Anita Hill--we rose up & we fought for change. Women will do the same if Dr. Ford & others are disrespected & mistreated. We're not going to stand for this again. #BelieveSurvivors"

Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 25, 2018
Tweet - "We are in a critical time--how the Senate handles survivors sharing their stories in 2018 will be a test that the Senate failed with Anita Hill in 1991. Judge Kavanaugh was nominated for the highest court in the land & it's important we get this right."
Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 25, 2018
Tweet - "It only takes one story of a teacher accidentally firing a gun in a classroom, leaving a gun in a school bathroom, or threatening a child with a gun, to know we need fewer firearms in schools--not more. I call on @BetsyDeVosED to end this dangerous proposal immediately."
