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. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

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.

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.

Here's the GOP health care plan: Can't afford quality health coverage? Take a coupon—spin the wheel and see if you make it through the year. If you lose—if you get cancer or if you have any sort of medical emergency more expensive than $1,000, you get buried in debt.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 12(source)
A DHS K9 mauled my constituent, Wilmer. He's married to a U.S. citizen, has 3 U.S.-born children, and has NO criminal convictions. You can care about enforcing our immigration laws and still know this is deeply wrong. He poses no threat. ICE must release him so he can get appropriate medical care.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 11(source)
Instead of bringing premiums down, Republicans put forward a bill that said, "What if we spend this same funding for ACA tax credits in a way that doesn’t lower premiums at all—but just leaves them sky high?"
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 11(source)
WA STATE: This flooding is SERIOUS. Please stay safe and follow local evacuation orders. Here in DC, I’m calling on the Trump administration to expedite an Emergency Declaration so we get the federal resources we need. We'll get through this. THANK YOU to our first responders.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 11(source)
Communities across WA state are being battered by devastating storms & flooding. I led our entire Congressional delegation—Democrats and Republicans—in requesting that President Trump approve an expedited Emergency Declaration for this disaster. Time is of the essence.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 11(source)
Here's what happened on the Senate floor today: Republicans voted to kill our bill to save the ACA tax credits—this was our last chance. Then they held a sham vote on a GOP bill that does NOTHING to lower health care premiums. Make sure everyone knows it.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 11(source)
BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked our bill to stop health care premiums from skyrocketing.   This vote was Republicans' last chance to do something before costs jump on January 1—once again, they refused.   This is health care sabotage & we will hold Republicans accountable.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 11(source)
Republicans have NO PLAN to fix skyrocketing premiums. Instead, they want to bring back high-risk pools when pre-existing conditions weren't protected, create more junk health plans that bury patients in debt, and find new ways to attack access to abortion.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 11(source)
Good morning. Today, Senate Republicans have one last opportunity to vote to save the ACA tax credits. If they refuse, they are CHOOSING to let premiums more than double, and they would force millions of Americans to go uninsured.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 11(source)
Reminder: the SAME Republicans who made tax breaks for billionaires permanent (and exploded our national debt by trillions to do it) are now saying that saving health care for a few years is too expensive.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govDec 11(source)
If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.   Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.   All thanks to Republican inaction.
