Trump does not have the power to drag the U.S. into a war with Iran over the objections of Congress and the American people.
I voted for Senator Kaine's War Powers Resolution tonight to send a clear message: NO war with Iran.

This ruling is deeply alarming, but let's be clear: Trump’s lying again.
Probably because his staff will tell him whatever makes him happy. Or maybe he just can’t understand.
Regardless, his anti-American EO is still unconstitutional, and it WILL be fought any way we can.
I hope you’ll listen to Sarah share how Medicaid has saved her son Paul's life.
Like Sarah says, the benefits of Medicaid are more than health care or home care—they have helped Paul live a full life.
Please help share Paul's story. NO cuts to Medicaid.
I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.
Listen to the doctors: When patients go uninsured, they delay care, and it increases costs for everyone.
Instead of paying $10 for diabetic medication, we'll pay $10,000 for an amputation.
Help share so that everyone understands and speaks out AGAINST this Big Ugly Bill.

Murray: "None of us would sit here and agree to bipartisan bills knowing their partners were just gonna gut that deal with recessions. I hope each of us thinks about that today."
We can't become numb to this lunacy. Republicans can't let anti-vaxxers like Lyn Redwood help OVERSEE vaccine safety.
She will spread even more dangerous lies about vaccines—and she’s going to get kids killed.
She doesn't belong anywhere near CDC. My full statement. ⬇️
The SCOTUS decision to allow states to defund Planned Parenthood will mean real harm to millions of women who need cancer screenings or birth control in South Carolina and other GOP states that follow their lead.
A devastating blow to women's health care in America, but I’ll keep fighting back.

Murray to Vought: This should be a yes or no. What I hear is all kind of word salad to make sure you are letting us know that you intend to do things that are outside the intent of the law.
Republicans tried to effectively ban insurers from covering abortion care in their Big Ugly bill.
This would've been catastrophic, even in states like mine where abortion is legal.
But Democrats fought and WON, stripping out this provision. It's not over. We'll keep fighting.
Russ Vought is already illegally withholding hundreds of billions in federal funding from our communities.
Now, he's refusing to rule out cutting off even more funding with a new, illegal end run around Congress.
He's ignoring common sense & the plain text of the law.
I pressed Trump's CDC nominee on how NONE of RFK Jr.'s vaccine advisory committee appointees have been properly vetted, and I raised how RFK Jr. is pushing dangerous disinformation & policies already undermining access to vaccines.
We have to keep pushing until science & sanity are restored.
Russ Vought, Trump's budget chief, came before @senateapprops.bsky.social today to ask Congress to codify DOGE cuts.
Here's what I had to say: Congress needs to REJECT these cuts and reassert its power of the purse.
To my colleagues: join me in defending the authority of Congress.
Although she had no idea what I was talking about, I appreciate AG Bondi's offer to discuss the grants she's illegally terminating.
However, our communities shouldn't have to rely on Senators playing whack-a-mole with this administration to restore public safety grants.
Republicans are not immune to public pressure.
Everybody hates this Big Ugly bill—and for good reason. Keep speaking up so that everyone knows what this bill actually does.
NO cuts to Medicaid. NO cuts to SNAP.
Every Senator should vote NO on Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
He never answered my question yesterday, but you can watch our full exchange here. I’ll keep pressing on this.
Here’s what I’m asking in response to VA Secretary Collins, over on X:
Did you or did you not explicitly REMOVE language requiring health care professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics & marital status?
If you believe it has no impact, why not reinstate the language?
RFK Jr. fired all of the experts at CDC's vaccine advisory committee. He installed 8 unvetted people, including anti-vaxxers who should have ZERO role in deciding which vaccines insurance should cover.
The committee's next meeting must be postponed.
Anytime someone rightly calls out this administration for anti-veteran policies like firing VA staff without cause or changing discrimination policy, Trump's VA Secretary says they're "scaring veterans."
So I told him today, if you don't want to "scare" veterans, STOP doing what you're doing.
When someone's local hospital closes, they won't "get over it."
When someone's nursing home closes, they won't "get over it."
When someone's kid is kicked off health care, they won't "get over it."
America, let these Republicans know you will NOT "get over" cuts to Medicaid.
