RFK Jr. is an outright, unapologetic, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist. He is a dangerous pick to lead Trump's Department of Health—and it's Americans' health and safety that are at stake if the Senate confirms him to this critical role.
Capitol police officers put their lives on the line to keep everyone safe—Democrats and Republicans—during a violent insurrection. Yet Speaker Johnson can't be bothered to put a plaque on the wall to honor the law enforcement who protected him.
Per multiple US House staff and sources… this is the Jan 6 honorary plaque that was required to be hung in US Capitol by 2023 It has still not been hung
The November bomb cyclone had catastrophic impacts across WA state. I'm leading the WA state delegation in urging President Biden to open up federal assistance to help families, businesses, and communities recover. mynorthwest.com/mynorthwest-...
The Laken Riley Act would cost up to $83 billion in the first 3 years to implement—more than DHS's entire annual budget. That’s a lot of money to spend on a bill that'll cause chaos, punish legal immigrants, & undermine due process—while drawing resources away from true threats.
Enacting the Laken Riley Act as written would mean it doesn't matter if you're innocent—if you're arrested, even if you’re a child, you can be deported. This would be an all-out assault on due process, with devastating and far-reaching consequences—including for legal immigrants.
Pete Hegseth—Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Defense—has spent years denigrating women in the military and I don't buy for a second his 11th hour reversal on the topic. I introduced a resolution with @senduckworth.bsky.social to honor the contributions of every woman servicemember.
I'm encouraged by the news of a deal for a ceasefire, and look forward to the release of hostages who have been held in Gaza for more than a year in unspeakable conditions, & an immediate surge in humanitarian aid flow to Gaza to meet the dire humanitarian needs. My statement ⬇️
Despite my firm opposition to his nomination, I met with RFK Jr. today. A vaccine denier should not be our nation's highest-ranking health care official. It takes no imagination to see how dangerous he would be at HHS, and it takes mountains of willful ignorance to ignore it.
Exciting news for Spokane! This Tech Hub award is a testament to the cutting-edge research & collaboration happening across our state as Washington continues to be a leader in aerospace innovation & job creation. www.geekwire.com/2025/spokane...
Repost if you agree that none of the 72 million Americans on Medicaid should lose their health care so that Republicans can pass giant tax cuts for billionaires and mega corporations.
⚡ House Republicans are reportedly considering cutting $2.3 trillion from Medicaid over 10 years — nearly a third of all federal Medicaid spending. Such cuts would fundamentally change how Medicaid financing works, writes KFF’s @robinr.bsky.social. #QuickTake on.kff.org/429Yq5m
KFF graphic featuring a quote from Robin Rudowitz, KFF vice president and director for the program on Medicaid and the Uninsured. It says, “Cuts of this magnitude would put states at financial risk, forcing them to raise new revenues or reduce Medicaid spending by eliminating coverage for some people, covering fewer services, and (or) cutting rates paid to physicians, hospitals, and nursing homes.”
Servicemembers & their families will have birth control covered with zero out-of-pocket costs. Access to birth control helps women plan their lives and futures—this new law will make it easier for women in the military to get the reproductive health care they need. www.military.com/daily-news/2...
Today I visited Compass Health in Everett to hear more about the great work they do to provide mental health and substance use disorder treatment. Addressing our mental health crisis is critical—which is why I’m working to help get them additional federal funding to expand.
Senator Murray is standing in a jacket, orange safety vest, and white hard helmet, looking off to the right of the camera. To the left of the Senator, a man wearing the same thing is standing with his hands behind his back. They are in a white room with concrete floors and behind them there is a large light with wires coming out of the ceiling and construction equipment including paint and caution tape.
Senator Murray is standing, wearing an orange safety vest and white hard helmet, with her hands folded together. She is standing with at least six other people pictured who are all looking at a man in a bright yellow safety jacket who is speaking. They are in a white and green room with a pink wire above them that leads across the ceiling.
Senator Murray is standing with three other people, all of which are wearing orange safety vests, carrying hard helmets, and smiling at the camera. They are standing in a large building that is still under construction. Behind them is an orange safety net and a sign that shows the what the building will ultimately look like once construction is completed.
Spread the world: a new law will make sure teachers, firefighters, and local government workers finally get their full Social Security benefits. Thanks to the folks in Everett for coming out to share how important this change is for you & your families.
I met with workers and retirees in Everett today to talk about a new law I helped pass to make sure public workers—like teachers & firefighters—finally get their full Social Security benefits. This is a long overdue change that will benefit 42,000 people in WA state!
Senator Murray is sitting next to a woman at a table at the back of a room. There is an audience in the foreground with their backs to the camera including someone in a bright orange sweatshirt that says, "Laborers Rising" on the back.
Senator Murray is on the right, sitting at the center of a U-shaped table next to a woman. She's looking to the left at two men who are seated at the table. There are signs along the front that say, "Fair Benefits for Public Workers."
