ICYMI: Here are 3 anti-abortion attacks Republicans have launched recently. With everything going on, it can be easy for this stuff to fly under the radar—but Republicans have not let up on  their extremist, anti-women crusade. WATCH ⬇️
This is a deeply unwell man on a dangerous power trip, threatening possible war crimes. This is not how the President of the United States should be speaking about sending our servicemembers into harm’s way. Republicans should join Democrats to end this war immediately.
President Trump: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Trump wants to build a ballroom—I want to build more affordable housing, and only one of us sits on the Appropriations Committee. His budget is going right in the trash as far as I’m concerned.
My mom used to talk about how she had to crawl towards Medicare. Forcing Americans to wait until they're 65 to get their medical procedures done is wrong. Republicans had endless chances to help Democrats bring costs down and refused. We need to fix this Republican health care crisis.
After passing the largest cuts to health care in American history—all to fund billionaire tax breaks & give ICE more money than most militaries—Trump now wants Congress to defund dozens of programs that help families so that he can send other people’s kids to fight a foreign war.
While the Trump admin kicks millions off of SNAP, the Summer EBT program I helped to establish has reached over 21 million kids nationwide. No kid in America should go hungry—it’s really that simple.  I'll keep fighting tooth & nail to save SNAP and fight against child hunger.
Trump can lie all he wants, but working families know the truth: groceries, gas, & electricity are getting more expensive—and it's because of his tariffs, the war he started, and his billionaire-first policies.
Great to stop by Renton Technical College to see how the federal investments I secured are helping prepare our future air and space manufacturing workforce. I will always fight for investments in education and our workforce—especially as Trump tries to demolish the Department of Education.
House Republicans continue to extend the DHS shutdown for no reason. This morning, the Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bill to fund everything at DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol AGAIN. The House could have passed this TODAY. Speaker Johnson—stop playing games & pass this bill ASAP.
Exciting to watch the historic NASA Artemis II launch yesterday! I had the honor of meeting these inspiring astronauts a few years ago, and I look forward to following their journey around the moon. This launch is a reminder to us all to shoot for the moon & dream big! 🚀🌙
Senator Murray is on the left of the frame in a light purple pantsuit, looking to the left and talking to four people in blue astronaut suits.
Senator Murray is standing center frame with two people in blue astronaut suits on each side. Everyone is posed, smiling, and looking at the camera.

We have never had an Attorney General as disgraceful as Pam Bondi. No one else has done more to turn DOJ into a political attack dog for a delusional & spiteful President. We need a DOJ that is actually focused on the rule of law and that works for the PEOPLE—not the President.
The President wants to spend more of your taxpayer dollars on wars in the Middle East instead of on child care and health care here in the Pacific Northwest. No war with Iran. Fund child care and health care instead.
Trump: "The US can't take of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We're fighting wars. Medicaid, Medicare -- they can do it on a state basis. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. But all these little scams that have taken place, you have to let states take care of them."
Trump's VA is cutting thousands of unfilled roles. They're trying to say it doesn't matter, but that's not what I hear from local veterans. And now we're fighting a war with NO justification and NO plan for the veterans who come home. No war with Iran. Staff the VA.
STATES have authority over our elections and voting—NOT a delusional President trying to make it harder for Americans to exercise their right to vote & have a say in the future of our country. Just like Trump, WA state votes by mail safely & successfully. This Executive Order belongs in the trash.
The 14th Amendment could not be more clear: if you are born in America, you are a U.S. citizen. Doesn't matter what Trump thinks. He can't rewrite our Constitution on his own.
I don't know how Speaker Johnson can say that with a straight face when the Big Ugly Bill slashed Medicaid, SNAP, and so many other programs working Americans rely on to get by. Their bill was billionaires first and working people last.
FOX & FRIENDS: When you hear people say the Big Beautiful Bill only benefitted the rich, what do you say? MIKE JOHNSON: It's exactly the opposite. The Big Beautiful Bill-- the hardworking, the Working Families Tax Cut was written for lower and middle-class earners.
