Senator Patty Murray

The economy is adding barely any jobs right now and where we’ve seen new jobs it's been in health care.
 
Well guess what? Republicans just passed the largest cuts to health care and Medicaid EVER.
 
We need to reverse those cuts and end Trump's tariffs if we want to salvage our economy.

Here’s what just some of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's victims had to say about the outrageous preferential and delicate treatment Trump is offering a convicted child sex trafficker.

This is a disgusting perversion of justice.

The entire premise of Trump’s trade war is unimaginably stupid.

There is no “making it in America” when the “it” in question is coffee or green tea, which we cannot grow at scale here in the United States.

Republicans need to vote with us to finally end these tariffs.

Trump administration revokes Biden era abortion rule for veterans The Trump administration revoked a Biden era abortion rule on Friday that allows veterans to receive abortions under their medical package.  The Department of Veteran Affairs is reversing a 20…

Trump just moved to outlaw women veterans who are victims of rape or incest from getting abortion care at VA.

Republicans don’t care if your health is in danger, if you’re a veteran, or if you’ve been raped—they want abortion outlawed everywhere, for everyone.

The Senate just voted to pass bipartisan bills to fund military construction, VA, agriculture, FDA, and more.

Passing these bills ensures that CONGRESS decides how taxpayer funds are spent—NOT Russ Vought or President Trump.

This is a good thing for our country.

Trump fires BLS commissioner after weak jobs report Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."

It is seriously dangerous territory when Trump fires anyone who doesn't cook the books for him.

The entire economy hinges on the accurate, nonpartisan data we get from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Republicans need to join us in fighting to protect the integrity of BLS.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announces shutdown following funding loss Trump’s successful campaign to strip federal money to NPR and PBS effectively ended the public media middleman.

This is because of cuts Republicans in Congress enacted.

Understand it will be LOCAL stations in RURAL communities that will shutter and people living in rural communities will be most affected.

It won’t be easy, but I'll keep fighting to restore funding for public media.

Trump's latest tariffs will cost U.S. households $2,400 this year, analysis says Signs of inflation are creeping higher as tariffs pile up, even before the latest levies go into effect.

So far Trump’s tariffs mean the average American household loses out on $2,400.

This is a MASSIVE tax INCREASE because we’ve got an economically illiterate President in charge.

Republicans need to join Democrats to reassert our power over trade and END these tariffs.

Sen. Murray introduces bill to reverse defunding of Planned Parenthood Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) has introduced a bill to repeal the federal ban on Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood, which is at risk of closure in many communities.

Republicans will stop at nothing to ban abortion nationwide, even if it means ripping away cancer screenings & birth control.

That's why their Big Ugly Bill defunds Planned Parenthood.

@smith.senate.gov and I introduced a bill to reverse this and save this essential health care.

We should absolutely pass a ban on stock trading for all Members of Congress along with the President and Vice President.

To my Republican colleagues, let's put this bill on the Senate floor immediately.

Democrats offered an amendment to simply ensure that if taxpayers spend $1 billion retrofitting a Qatari jet, it doesn't transfer to Trump after his presidency for his personal use.

Republicans voted NO and blocked the amendment.

This is the most corrupt administration in history. Easily.

Senator Murray Votes Yes on Arms Sale Resolutions to Send Message to Netanyahu Government - Senator Patty Murray Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) issued the following statement on her vote in favor of two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRD) sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) ...

Tonight I voted YES to block the sale of certain weapons to Israel to send a message to Netanyahu's government.

This legislative tool is not perfect, but frankly it is time to say ENOUGH to the suffering of innocent young children and families.

Senate confirms Trump's pick for counterterrorism agency, a former Green Beret with extremist ties The Senate has confirmed Joe Kent, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the National Counterterrorism Center.

Republicans just voted to confirm Joe Kent, a conspiracy theorist with white supremacist views, to be in charge of counterterrorism.

We had all the evidence we'd ever need to know he's not competent or going to do the right thing.

Republicans will own this vote and Kent's record.

The Senate should NOT confirm a man with white supremacist views to be Director of Counterterrorism.

Joe Kent is also a conspiracy theorist.

Colleagues, let's please do exactly what people in Washington did each time they were asked to trust Joe Kent—VOTE NO.

🚨Republicans want to privatize Social Security.

We need to publicize them doing it.

SPREAD THE WORD. 📣📣📣

Social Security is a promise we keep for all Americans. Privatizing Social Security BREAKS that promise.

Republicans need to keep their Hands OFF Social Security.

We need to make sure every person who will ever count on Social Security sees this.

On the 60th anniversary of Medicaid & Medicare, let's make sure everyone knows that REPUBLICANS voted to enact the largest cut to MEDICAID and health care EVER.

15 MILLION Americans will lose health care.

The fight to reverse these cuts is today and every day until we do.

Senator Murray Slams Trump Admin for Choking Off Lifesaving NIH Medical Research - Senator Patty Murray Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement on reports today that President Trump’s Office of Manageme...

BREAKING: Trump wants to illegally cut off $15 billion in lifesaving NIH research.

Research to cure cancer, Alzheimer's, and so much more is on the line.

These people are LYING about waste, fraud, and abuse at NIH to justify attacking medical research—we all need to say so.

Senate Confirms Trump's Most Alarming Nominee To A Lifetime Federal Judgeship Bove faced credible allegations of telling DOJ attorneys to defy court orders. Republicans confirmed him to a seat on a U.S. appeals court anyway.

Republicans just voted to confirm Emil Bove, a guy who said "f**k" the courts, to a lifetime on the federal bench.

I voted NO.

I happen to believe Senate-confirmed judges should have some semblance of respect for the rule of law.

I guess Republicans vote however Trump says.

Democrats implore Trump to step up role in addressing suffering and starvation in Gaza Senate Democrats are imploring President Donald Trump's administration to step up its role in addressing suffering and starvation in Gaza.

People are dying of starvation in Gaza. The President needs to advocate for a massive expansion of humanitarian assistance.

This cannot continue.

I joined my Senate colleagues to say: Return the hostages, end the fighting, and bring relief to the people of Gaza.

Here’s a message for Trump: seniors who need their Social Security do not want to have to deal with an AI chatbot.

The PEOPLE pay for Social Security—the government owes the PEOPLE that money.

When you make it harder for Americans to get their benefits—that’s a benefit cut.

Never a bad time to remind everyone you know that Trump ran on making things more affordable.

Instead he imposes new & crushing taxes through his tariffs—and makes the largest cuts to health care EVER, while ensuring higher premiums for everyone.

Fear grips Vancouver family after ICE detains father while dropping kids off at Franklin Elementary His wife and mother of their four children hopes Adolfo Barajas Cano’s hearing for cancellation of removal will be successful

Adolfo, who has been in America since he was a teenager—with NO criminal record and 4 kids who are CITIZENS— was detained by ICE while dropping his kids off at school.

Trump isn't focusing on criminals; he's tearing apart the families who build our communities. This is wrong.

The Trump administration and the Israeli government must get aid into Gaza quickly to stave off a man-made famine.

And they need to stop replacing actual humanitarian organizations with literal mercenaries, something that is really happening and worsening an already dire crisis.

Seattle & King County are better off thanks to Cuong Van Huynh.

This man is a pillar of our community, and he should not be torn away from his family and his home after 40 years.

Here’s what I know from Van and the people who love him:

Listen to this mealy-mouthed non-answer about the billions in CANCER RESEARCH funding Trump's budget chief is illegally blocking.

Clinical trials have been cut short. Research is shutting down. We're talking irreparable harm.

Keep speaking up until they get this money out.

Satire and ridicule are important tools for a civil society working to stave off authoritarianism.

From Stephen Colbert's Late Show:

Another American has been brutally killed in the West Bank. Netanyahu's government must face accountability.

It is not enough to delegate an investigation to Israel—the United States must conduct its own investigation into the killing of an American citizen.
