If my colleagues want to work together to rebuild the wildfire prevention infrastructure Trump dismantled—great. But I’ll tell you what I won't do: let them pass resolutions to insult our Canadian friends or suck up to a President who does nothing but threaten our neighbors.
Five months into Trump's war of choice with Iran, and he is threatening escalation and war crimes and suggesting this could be another forever war.   And now he wants $70 billion MORE—and for us to just trust him it’ll all work out fine? No way.
Trump wants to cut VA research by $43 million. When I asked what research the administration wanted to cut—prosthetics, cancer—Trump officials couldn’t give me a straight answer. I’ll be fighting to reject Trump’s cuts to VA research.
This is HISTORIC political corruption and EVERY American should be outraged. This isn't Trump's money—these are TAXPAYER dollars! Trump has been stealing money from blue states all along, and now his own lawyers have finally ADMITTED it in court. Time for accountability.
All of America has fallen in love with Seattle's most famous raccoon—a weird little guy named Jimothy. But Jimothy's friends shouldn't have to lose their homes.  We can all speak up to protect their habitats.
Disturbing details are coming out about the ICE agent who fatally shot an innocent man in Maine, and it begs the question—why on earth is ICE hiring people like this? Reminder: Republicans BLOCKED every basic reform & accountability measure I pushed.
Trump wants to spend $1.5 TRILLION on war, and is asking for $70 BILLION on top of that, all while his sons are profiting from major defense contracts. Are we investing in national security? Or are we investing in the Trump family’s portfolio?
Ten years later, sweaty and slurring, he's still promising a health care plan he's never delivered on. Instead, Americans got the highest health care costs ever and hospitals laying off staff or shutting down entirely. All thanks to Trump's health care sabotage & Medicaid cuts.
Trump: "We will pass the great healthcare plan. It's called our great healthcare plan. That's the name of it."
Trump broke his promise of free IVF. He doesn't care if veterans can build a family. The Texas GOP just made BANNING IVF a part of their official party platform. These extremists are gaining traction, and we can't be silent. Democrats are fighting back to protect IVF.
I just voted to END the war with Iran. Senate Republicans, however, continue to block Democratic efforts to put a stop to this war. American soldiers are dying, billions of our taxpayer dollars are being set on fire, and prices at home are skyrocketing. This war must END.
Mifepristone is safe & effective. But the absurd legal challenge to restrict access to the most common form of medication abortion is back in court, so I'm leading Senate Dems on an amicus brief with one message: Put science before politics. Don’t restrict access to mifepristone.
I blocked Senate Republicans' petty and offensive resolution that implied Canada is letting their own forests burn just to spite us. I know my Republican colleagues want to show the President how much they agree with him, but please. What a waste of everyone's time.
Trump has seriously undercut VA research with haphazard cuts and freezes. Research to predict stroke risk was held up. A clinical trial to prevent dementia & heart disease was canceled. Now, Trump wants to cut their funding—I told Trump officials, I’m tearing their budget up and writing a new one.
Met with the Chemical Safety Board to get an update on its work following the explosion in Longview. I will keep pushing for answers and accountability following the tragedy at the Nippon plant. The people of Washington state deserve nothing less.
Senator Murray is on the right side of the frame, sitting at a long wooden table, and looking to the left. Three people sit along the table, facing Senator Murray.
Secretary Hegseth said ships should be able to pass through the Strait of Hormuz freely and without tolls. Then Trump insisted the United States SHOULD charge a 20% toll for every ship passing through the strait. I asked him how he squared that contradiction. He couldn't.
This president says we can't afford health care. Can't afford child care. Can't afford housing. But somehow—we can always afford another war. No price tag on that. Absolutely not. I'm refusing to rubber-stamp Trump's outrageous request to bankroll his war with Iran.
The costs of Trump's war have been astronomical. And what has it all been for? We hear a different rationale for this war every few days. Apparently, now it's to REOPEN the Strait of Hormuz that was ALREADY OPEN, toll-free, BEFORE this war. A total failure.
Here we are FIVE MONTHS later since Trump started his war with Iran. Trump has told us FORTY times that a deal is close and the war is nearly over. But now he's asking for $70 billion more—just trust him, it'll work out fine. NO WAY.
I will NOT support rubberstamping Trump's request to bankroll his war with Iran and whatever other misadventures he wants to get us into next. The American people want to see a quick end to this war, not $70 billion of their tax dollars sent to keep it going.
