Right now, Republicans are trying to kick millions off Medicaid and spike your premiums. But remember: we stopped Republicans from repealing the ACA in 2017. I stood with @cantwell.senate.gov to say: Now is the time to get loud and speak out. NO CUTS TO MEDICAID!
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 27(source)
We should NOT cut food assistance in America so that Trump can pad the pockets of billionaires and giant corporations. If Republicans won’t listen to common sense and common decency—then we are going to get a megaphone and shout it from the rooftops: HANDS OFF SNAP.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 27(source)
Guess what: because of how badly the GOP tax bill would blow up the national debt, it would eventually trigger a budget law that would force $535 BILLION in cuts to Medicare. It’s downright criminal. They’re slashing Medicare through the back door to cut taxes for billionaires.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 26(source)
Today, on Memorial Day, we remember the cost of war and the sacrifices our military families make.   I hope friends and neighbors in every part of WA take a moment to reflect on those sacrifices. I'll always work to honor our fallen servicemembers through my work in the Senate.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 24(source)
"One Big Beautiful Bill Act" is a stupid name.   But more importantly, it will kick millions of Americans off their health care, including CHILDREN, it will spike premiums, and explode our national debt.   It's a raw deal for middle-class Americans and a huge giveaway to billionaires.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 23(source)
More than a week later, and still NO answer from RFK Jr. This is alarming. How many NIH clinical staff have been fired? How is that impacting patient care? This information is not meant to be secret.

MURRAY: How many staff have been cut from the NIH's clinical center? I want a specific number RFK Jr: I can't tell you that MURRAY: That's not acceptable
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 23(source)
Good morning.   The minute the Republican tax bill arrives in the Senate, it should promptly be thrown in the trash.   No way to Medicaid cuts. No way to kicking kids off their health care. No way to pushing seniors out of nursing homes.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 22(source)
An anti-abortion group that helped write Project 2025 puts out junk science on mifepristone—and now the Trump administration is calling for a "complete review." Trump's FDA is laying the groundwork to rip away access to medication abortion. We can't be quiet about it.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 22(source)
I explain to FDA Commisioner Makary: when it comes to food & drug safety, it's downright dangerous to mass fire 1 in 5 people, then frantically rehire some—only because you couldn't think for 2 seconds if these jobs were actually important. Oh, and I'm tearing up Trump's budget proposal.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 22(source)
Horrified at the murder of two young Israeli embassy aides last night at the Capital Jewish Museum. We must all condemn this kind of violence & antisemitism in the strongest possible terms. Hate has no place in America. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 22(source)
House Republicans don't want you to know they just passed a bill that makes health care MORE expensive and kicks MILLIONS off Medicaid, all to pass tax cuts for billionaires & giant corporations. We need to make sure America knows. And we need to kill this bill in the Senate.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 22(source)
While Trump's tariffs explode costs, his new tax bill will also make health care & groceries more expensive for millions, all to pass tax cuts for billionaires. Worse health care so billionaires can pad their pockets? Every Member of Congress should vote NO on this scam bill.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 21(source)
My message to Energy Secretary Chris Wright: Your budget cuts BILLIONS from research to manufacturing, and it will RAISE energy bills. With Trump's budget, the only energy we are going to save is from the lights that go out at factories across the country. Congress should rip this budget up.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 21(source)
Here's what I told Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum: Our public lands are NOT for sale. And pushing out park rangers or EMTs? He even fired the only plumber at Mount Rainier National Park! You can't do the job without people. NO WAY to Trump's budget cuts.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 20(source)
I don't want this to get lost: after RFK Jr. finished with his tantrum, he ADMITTED he is blocking BILLIONS in federal child care funding. That needs to change IMMEDIATELY.

here's the full clip of RFK Jr losing his shit at Patty Murray today during a hearing so badly that Republican Sen. Capito had to step in and tell him to "hold back"
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 20(source)
Here's what I told Secretary of State Marco Rubio today: What he's done is outright illegal. His decimation of USAID and so much else has led to senseless death and suffering, and it's left the United States weaker. We should tear up Trump's budget and write a new one.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 20(source)
RFK Jr. is a shameless liar and, candidly, an insane conspiracy theorist. He's fired the people who monitor bird flu. He's fired food safety inspectors. He's firing NIH clinical staff—and he's cutting cancer research. This grifter is making America LESS healthy & LESS safe.
'You came here to argue': Sen. Murray gets into heated exchange with RFK Jr.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., got into a heated argument with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a Senate hearing on his department's budget.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 19(source)
Charles Kushner was convicted of making false statements to the FEC and pleaded guilty to tax evasion & witness tampering. And Trump pardoned him. Of course, I voted NO to advance Kushner’s nomination as AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE. We don't need any more Kushners in government.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govMay 19(source)
ICYMI: Trump's HHS Deputy Secretary nominee thinks FDA should “take a fresh look” at the settled science that proves mifepristone is safer than Tylenol—all because of a bogus new "study" funded by anti-abortion activists. Why? To rip away medication abortion from millions of women.
