It took practically no time at all for Trump to double down on his idiotic tariff first agenda: meaning higher prices for everyone. All so he can make "deals" that help out his billionaire buddies & hurt small businesses. Enough. Republicans in Congress can join us to stop this.
No doubt the President will throw an online tantrum about this shortly, but small businesses everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief. Trump's erratic tariff regime did real damage, pushed so many to the brink of closure, and drove up prices for everyone. Good riddance.
This has been the theme of the Trump administration: lie about how ineffective or corrupt something is, break it, then scramble to put the pieces back together at huge expense to the American taxpayer. Fraud, waste, and abuse: it’s always projection with these crooks.
Apparently, if some right-wing YouTube account posts a video about fraud, that means the Trump administration will jump to attention and block child care funding for an ENTIRE state. This is NOT accountability or oversight—it's blind accusations and a witch hunt.
President Trump is a disgrace. He's easily the most corrupt President in American history by a long shot. I'm not attending his State of the Union to listen to him ramble and lie. Instead, I'll be sharing the ways he's hurting hardworking Americans.
House Republicans wanted to cut funding for public transit by 98%! I stood in the way and STOPPED them. I was at Community Transit today to talk about new funding I secured for the Swift Gold Line bus rapid transit project. People want MORE public transit—let's keep building it! 🚌🚌🚌
Senator Murray is on the left, looking at a lego transit vehicle. A woman is in the background on the right looking on.
Senator Murray is in the middle of the frame, looking to the left at a man. They are on a city bus.
Senator Murray is sitting at the head of a white, rectangle table with several people all seated around it.
Senator Murray is center frame, looking slightly to the right with a man in the foreground.
Last year, I was in Snohomish County as Trump tried to block critical homelessness grants & pushed major funding cuts. This year, I'm BACK in Everett, and I actually INCREASED funding for key homelessness programs, and I secured NEW guardrails to make sure that money gets out.
I want to be unequivocal here: when—not if, but when—the next pandemic hits, America will be less prepared because of the decisions made by the Trump administration. Your family and our economy will be more vulnerable to the next pandemic. This is a choice Trump is making.
19,000 fewer people signed up for health care on Washington's marketplace this year—with thousands more seeing their premiums skyrocket.  This is a direct result of Republicans CHOOSING to let health care costs increase so they could fund tax breaks for their billionaire friends.
I secured $1M to help Asian American seniors navigate federal programs like Medicare through a helpline that assists with translation services. Always proud to support @napca.bsky.social and glad I could join their Lunar New Year celebration! 🧧🐴
Stopped by ChuMinh Tofu in Little Saigon for a coffee and to hear from small business owner, Tanya. Happy Lunar New Year, Washington state! In the year of the Horse, let's be sure to shop local and support small business. 🧧🎇🏮🔥🐴
Senator Murray is hugging a woman whose side profile you can see. They're standing in front of a large window.
Senator Murray is on the right, looking to the left and shaking hands with a woman opposite of her.
Senator Murray is smiling, facing the camera with two women to her left.
Trump wanted to slash housing funding and kick millions of families out of their homes. I said absolutely NOT and actually INCREASED funding for housing. Today I visited Little Saigon Low Income Housing Institute to discuss how we can keep building more affordable housing and bring costs DOWN.
We need to rein in ICE and CBP. We need to call out the avalanche of lies. And most importantly, we need to stand up for our communities—because they are being terrorized by their own government. The American people are demanding Congress meet this moment.
I’m relieved Wilmer has been released but the fact is there are countless others who have been brutally and needlessly detained by DHS whose stories we don’t know. I won’t abide by a government that can inflict this kind of terror on American citizens and peaceful residents with impunity.
The Trump administration withdrew a rule to make sure the products YOU use every day—like makeup and skincare—are tested for cancer-causing asbestos. Is this Making America Healthy Again??
