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.
The economy is losing jobs and prices are going up. Trump's tariffs are economic arson, plain and simple. Republicans could join with Democrats any day of the week to put an end to them.
I am calling for Wilmer’s immediate release from NWIPC—he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires. I am grateful for Wilmer’s willingness to let me share his story.
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
Trump and Republicans are trying to BAN states from regulating AI by slipping a ban into any bill they can. So if WA state, or any state for that matter, wants to protect kids, protect people's privacy, or protect their jobs—they'll have their hands tied. No way.
RFK Jr.’s hand-picked anti-vax panel has removed any doubt about their obvious bias and destroyed any shred of credibility for their decision-making process. CDC should reject this dangerous suggestion that will simply mean more babies die in the United States.
1 in 4 Americans surveyed about skyrocketing premiums are saying that if the ACA tax credits expire, they are "very likely" to go without any health insurance at all. Republican inaction here isn't acceptable. There's a simple solution: extend the ACA tax credits.
Why should anyone believe Republicans are serious about saving people from exploding health care costs when they outright REFUSED to talk about this problem before now? They had ALL YEAR, and they did zip. I've been down this road before.
Servicemembers who put their lives on the line for this country deserve to be able to get IVF to help build their families. Anti-abortion extremist Mike Johnson wants to deny them IVF coverage, but Democrats are going to keep fighting to protect IVF.
President Trump will stop at nothing to force kids across America to go hungry. This is sickening—and illegal. Trump & his cronies are using hungry families as political bargaining chips. Democrats will fight back.
Ahead of tomorrow's CDC Vaccine Committee meeting, I made clear Republicans MUST compel RFK Jr. to answer to the Senate Health Committee for his anti-vaxx crusade. Vaccines save lives. And the American people deserve science-led decisions from the CDC.
Republicans wanting to talk about fixing health care premium increases a month into open enrollment, when prices are all but locked in, is about as serious as being concerned about RFK Jr.'s anti-vax crusade AFTER voting to make him the nation's top public health official.
Big news: my Wild Olympics bill got a Senate hearing and picked up dozens of new endorsements from local sportsmen groups and more this week. This is a big step in our fight to protect key areas of the Olympic National Forest & preserve world-class recreation. Let's keep it going!
Senator Murray is standing with her arms crossed, facing slightly to the right. She's looking at two people in Park Ranger clothes and there is a crowd of people behind them. The background is a blue sky with thin white clouds, evergreen trees, and a grassy path that all of the people are standing on.
RFK Jr. is praising private insurers for removing prior authorization while he is ramping up a pilot program requiring AI-led prior authorization for Medicare patients in 6 states, including WA state, which will delay and deny care for seniors.   No AI prior authorization. No way.
It is simply outrageous that an American citizen was detained at all by ICE. And it's adding insult to injury to claim that Tribal IDs are fake. This is racial profiling. Trump's mass deportation agenda is sick and wrong. It helps no one and it's hurting Americans.
Donald Trump is saying that "affordability is a Democrat scam." The President needs a serious reality check. The cost of nearly everything is going UP: health care, child care, housing. Trump's policies have been a DISASTER, and unlike Democrats, he has NO solutions.
