So many of us loved Rob Reiner's movies. He left such a profound impact on so many. What an absolutely black-hearted and despicable statement from the President of the United States about a man who was just murdered. Trump is deeply unwell and unfit to serve.

As Jewish families in WA state & around the world celebrate the start of Hanukkah, I’m thinking of the victims from the horrific shooting in Sydney. They should have been able to celebrate safely. This kind of antisemitic hate & violence has no place in the world.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 15(source)
My thoughts are with the students at Brown University. It’s devastating to see yet another mass shooting in America. This kind of violence should never be normalized. We need common sense gun safety laws.

This was my message yesterday while the sun was still shining: some of the toughest days are still ahead for Washington state. Listen to local officials, stay alert. But know that everyone is stepping up to help their neighbors, and we'll get through this together.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 14(source)
WASHINGTON STATE: It can't be said enough, even as flood waters recede in some areas, we are not out of the woods yet. Please stay alert and follow instructions from local officials to keep yourself and first responders safe.
WA flood dangers are not over as more rain in the forecast, officials warn
Washington state and federal officials warned tougher days may still be ahead as the current dry spell will give way to another storm system in the next couple days.

I secured funding to build the Skagit County Flood Wall back in 2006. Even during the catastrophic flooding we saw this week, that same flood wall protected downtown Mount Vernon. Investments like this save lives and property. We need more, not less.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 13(source)
Visited Snohomish County this morning, and this flooding has hit our communities hard, but I am so heartened by how our state is coming together. THANK YOU to ALL of the first responders who are saving lives and keeping our families safe. I've got your back.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 13(source)
I've helped introduce a bill to ensure that people like Jose can contact their lawyer. We're talking about basic dignity and respect here. ICE should not be able to crush someone's foot, lie about it, and then disappear them from their legal counsel.

UPDATE: I've heard from Jose's family. He's apparently been transferred to an ICE detention center in TX, but it's been days since they've been able to speak with him. He needs medical care and to be able to speak with his family and lawyer. This obscene cruelty helps no one.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained. His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing. He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

Stopped by the FEMA response center in Bothell to thank everyone working around the clock to keep communities safe during the floods and storms. I'll keep pushing in the Other Washington to make sure folks get the federal resources they need to respond and recover.
Senator Murray is standing outside and looking at a line of 5 men in uniform, three of which are wearing yellow helmets, and two are holding onto the leash of two black canines.
Senator Murray is standing and speaking in front of a large office filled with people sitting at their desks—many of which are wearing red vests that say "Emergency Services on the back."
Senator Murray is standing and shaking the hand of a man in uniform. There are two other men in uniform watching the interaction. They are standing in the middle of a FEMA office surrounded by people at desks.
Senator Murray is standing and looking at two screens showing weather data. The side of her fist is pressed to her lips. There is a woman standing next to her and photographer behind them taking a picture. Below the two screens are two desks with a two monitors and a laptop on each.

Trump’s trade war with Canada is as stupid as it is damaging. The tariffs, the threats, the insults—they need to end. Canadians are our close friends and neighbors. We need to stick together. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 12(source)
This is good news for Washington state and how it should always work when it comes to disaster relief. We work together to respond and we work together to rebuild and recover.

I just received a phone call from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Secretary Noem informed me that the president signed our request for an emergency declaration. We have also received written confirmation of that emergency declaration.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 12(source)
Washington state, we are not out of the woods yet. Please continue to follow local authorities for the latest info regarding safety updates. Let's stay alert and look out for our neighbors. We get through this together.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 12(source)
Trump did an end run around Congress to try to BAN states from regulating AI by threatening lawsuits or lost funding.   No matter how much tech billionaires donate to Trump, he does not have the authority to make laws—Congress does. I’ll fight back against this corrupt move.
Trump signs executive order for single national AI regulation standard, limiting power of states
President Trump's executive order, which limits the power of states in regulating AI, is a win for big tech companies that have lobbied for a federal standard.
