Title
11/11/2022
Tweet - "The sacrifices of our veterans--and their families--are shining examples of what makes our country, our communities, and our democracy special. As we honor them today, let's also double down on supporting our veterans and always having their backs. #VeteransDay"
11/07/2022
Tweet - "As the daughter of a WWII veteran, I've seen the many sacrifices our military families make. That's why I've fought to support military families, whether it's helping them find good housing or supporting the transition back to civilian life."
10/23/2022
Tweet - "With the bipartisan PACT Act, I helped deliver the biggest expansion of VA health care for our veterans in over 30 years. This is going to help so many veterans, including 124,000 in WA state, who've been exposed to toxic substances finally get the care they deserve."
10/13/2022
Tweet - "Same-sex couples should get the same benefits from VA that other veterans get. For too long that wasn't the case, so I led my colleagues in urging @DeptVetAffairs to fix that. Glad to see them take steps to right that wrong and do just that today."
10/13/2022
Tweet - "The botched rollout of VA's electronic health record system has hurt veterans & undermined VA providers & staff in WA state. I've made clear I don't want to see it move ahead until it's fully fixed. I'm glad VA is further delaying the rollout--& I'll keep pushing for solutions."
10/08/2022
Tweet - "Supporting our military families isn't just a national obligation to me--it's a personal one. My dad was a veteran who served in WWII. When he got sick, VA made sure he got the care he needed. That's how it should be, and I'll keep working to make sure that's what VA delivers."
09/28/2022
Tweet - "Republicans want to take away veterans' life-saving abortion care--& ban abortion in all 50 states. That's wrong--our women in uniform deserve to get the care they need. Today, I joined veterans from WA state & across the country to say: not on our watch. #UniformAccess"
09/07/2022
Tweet - "I'm speaking live with @maziehirono , @SenWarren , & @SenDuckworth about the Biden Administration's historic action to allow VA to provide abortion care to veterans and their families. The GOP is already coming out against it--but we are fighting back."
08/02/2022
Tweet - "After Senate Republicans shamefully played politics with sick veterans last week, we were finally able to get the PACT Act across the finish line--and help get toxic-exposed veterans in WA state the care they need."
07/27/2022
Tweet - "Today the Senate voted on bipartisan legislation that would've gotten toxic-exposed Washington state veterans the care they badly need and have earned. Republicans--who already voted for it before--let it fail. How dare they use veterans as a bargaining chip."
05/30/2022
Tweet - "Today we honor the brave women and men--and their families--who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country. We will always remember the servicemembers who lost their lives defending our freedoms. #MemorialDay"
05/22/2022
Tweet - "As the daughter of a WWII veteran, I know firsthand the many sacrifices our servicemembers make for our country. This #MilitaryAppreciationMonth, I want to thank everyone in Washington state who put themselves in harm's way to protect our freedoms."
05/21/2022
Tweet - "To the women and men serving our country in Washington state and everywhere and your families--thank you. Your sacrifices to protect us are countless, and we owe it to you to take care of you at home and abroad. #ArmedForcesDay"

Senator Murray Continues Push to Expand Health Care Access for Toxic-Exposed Veterans
02/26/2022
Tweet - "Many veterans who served post-9/11 are suffering from illnesses caused by toxic exposures and yet have been unable to access the VA medical treatment they need. I helped the Senate pass an important bill to start fixing that."
02/16/2022
Tweet - "Suicide risk screenings are a crucial part of our prevention work to support servicemembers transitioning back into civilian life--but there's a concerning lack of oversight. I made clear to @SecDef & @SecVetAffairs that needs to change for our veterans."
12/28/2021
Tweet - "Like many people, veterans who bravely served our country have been hit hard during COVID-19. We took steps to support health care and housing for veterans in the American Rescue Plan, and I'll keep fighting to make sure we do right by those who served."
11/30/2021
Tweet - "The bills @POTUS signed today are truly good for WA state's veterans--they'll create real economic opportunity for when they return home, make college more affordable for veterans & their families, help ensure VA works for all veterans, & help get veteran moms the care they need."
12/13/2018
Tweet - "Veterans in Washington state and across the country are feeling the pinch from delayed G.I. Bill benefit payments. The VA needs to fix this problem--and fast."
12/12/2018
Tweet - "It's completely unacceptable for the VA to put the burden of delayed benefits onto the backs of the very men and women who served our country, including the veterans attending @ClarkCollege in my home state of Washington."
12/07/2018
Tweet - "It's shameful to put the burden of delayed veteran benefits onto the backs of the men and women who served our country. I won't ease up until every veteran has the correct G.I. Bill payment that they earned in service to our country. The VA needs to fix this problem--and fast."
12/03/2018
Tweet - "The VA needs to fix this problem--and fast. Putting the burden of delayed benefits onto the backs of men and women who served our country is absolutely unacceptable."
11/30/2018
Tweet - "Until every veteran has the correct G.I. Bill benefits they earned in service to our country--& @DeptVetAffairs provides clear info regarding how they are resolving this fiasco--you better believe my colleagues & I will not ease up in our search for answers."
11/15/2018
Tweet - "We need more centers for veterans in our country like the Spokane Vet Center in my home state of WA--thank you for your commitment to honoring our nation's promise to care for our heroes when they return home."
11/15/2018
Tweet - "Veterans have put themselves in harm's way to protect our rights & freedoms--and I'm grateful for centers like the Spokane Vet Center in WA that stand by our wounded warriors when they return home & make sure they get the care & support they deserve."
