The Senate should pass all 5 bills to fund cancer research, child care, and more THIS WEEK. Senate Democrats are ready to do just that. Meanwhile, we need to keep negotiating DHS funding to bring sanity and due process to our immigration enforcement. No Republican shutdown.
There's a clear path forward: 1. Quickly pass the other 5 spending bills before the Friday night deadline & keep government open.   2. Separate out the DHS bill & work on common sense steps to rein in ICE and CBP.   Senate Democrats are ready to get it done. Republicans must join us.
Reminder: Republicans voted to give ICE a $75 billion slush fund, a budget larger than most militaries. Every Democrat voted NO. We need immigration enforcement that is sane, upholds our rights, treats people with dignity and basic respect, and focuses on violent criminals.
Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE. ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap, whether or not we pass a funding bill.
Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences. I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands. The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that. I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.

This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability. Joining ICE does not give you license to murder. The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.
There's money in Donald Trump’s America—not for health care, of course. But he'll find the money for a gilded arch, a ballroom, and whatever other vanity project he wants.
There was slavery in America—Trump trying to erase that history doesn't change the truth. And most of us realize it's important to teach future generations why slavery was WRONG. There's good & bad in  America's history, but we have to learn from all of it and live in REALITY.
The CDC's job is to monitor and prevent diseases. But now RFK Jr's handpicked deputy director says he "doesn't care" about whether or not measles is officially eliminated. This is about KIDS getting sick and even DYING  from something WE CAN PREVENT. Beyond despicable.
Yet another tired re-run of Russ Vought's corrupt playbook. He's threatening blue states in a naked act of political retribution. No one should be intimidated. Vought and Trump can kick rocks. This will not stand.
53 years after Roe v. Wade and Republicans are as committed as ever to ripping away a woman's right to make her own decisions about her body and her life. We cannot let them win—I won’t let them win. We must keep speaking out and using our voices to fight back.
This is horrifying beyond belief. No one in their right mind can see this and think it is ok. ICE is out of control. Don't let anyone look away and remind everyone that this Republican Congress could put a stop to this TODAY.
I visited the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center today to hear about how they'll use funding I secured to continue supporting survivors. Trump tried to slash funding to prevent violence against women—but I fought tooth and nail & we secured RECORD funding instead.
Canada is our friend and ally—and one of our biggest trading partners. Threatening Canada like this hurts America. Our citizens will pay for it—literally, as trade and travel plummet. Trust and friendship, by the way? Easy to damage, pretty hard to repair.
Trump: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful but they're not. He watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements"
I got an update from local leaders & first responders about how King County is rebuilding from last month's devastating flooding. I look forward to supporting requests for federal disaster assistance to make sure our communities get the resources they need to recover.
Senator Murray is sitting at a U-shaped table configuration with 8 other people also sitting around it. Her arms are outstretched and she's facing the left and talking. Everyone is looking toward her. Behind the Senator and two men sitting at the bottom of the U there are three flags in the background: the American flag, the Washington state flag, and the King County flag.
Senator Murray is in the middle of the frame seated at a gray table. There is a man on either side of her. Behind them all are the American flag, the Washington state flag, and the King County flag.
