Is it woke to protect people from wildfires and heat stroke?  I asked Trump's EPA Administrator why he canceled an EPA grant for the city of Spokane in my state to do exactly that. There was no explanation because there ISN'T one. Totally arbitrary. Completely irrational.
Republicans want to kick millions off their health care, but they also want to shut down Planned Parenthood, an essential health care provider. We're speaking out. NO to Medicaid cuts. NO to closing hospitals. NO to kicking kids off health care. And—NO to DEFUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
Republicans are working to pass a bill to kick millions off their health care to cut taxes for billionaires. But did you know they also snuck in a provision to defund Planned Parenthood? I'm here with @ppactes.bsky.social to say NO WAY. Protect Medicaid. Protect women's health care.
Senator Murray is standing next to Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson, Senator Tammy Baldwin, Senator Maria Cantwell, and 21 other people that are all wearing pink shirts that say "I FIGHT FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD". They are standing in a carpeted room, behind a podium that has a sign that says "Planned Parenthood Saves Lives."
I shared the story of Natalie, a mom from WA state with stage 4 colorectal cancer enrolled in an NIH clinical trial, but she was told her care was delayed because of RFK Jr.'s staffing cuts. He admitted NIH cuts, "are gonna hurt."   It's unacceptable. I'm demanding accountability.
The Trump admin is doing everything it can to wreck the EPA and prevent it from making sure every American family has clean air and clean water. EPA Administrator Zeldin is threatening the health and wellbeing of American families & it’s got to stop.
Today I’m reintroducing my bill to permanently protect the #WildOlympics with @repemilyrandall.bsky.social. The Wild Olympics are a crown jewel of Washington state, bringing together families and people from all walks of life—& our bill will ensure they can be enjoyed by generations to come.
Senator Murray is standing in a white baseball cap and purple sweater, facing to the left. There are trees and some water behind her.
Trump's trade war is far from over—and will still cost families nearly $3,000 per year. As outrageous as it is unnecessary. Not to mention, we have no clue when or if Trump will detonate even higher tariffs. Republicans need to join Democrats to end Trump's tariffs immediately.
Once again, anti-abortion politicians are pushing crazy junk science from right-wing extremists to justify trying to rip away access to medication abortion from women everywhere. They're counting on people not paying attention—it's time to speak up.
@childcareaware.bsky.social does critical work to help our youngest kids and their families grow & thrive. I'm glad I could meet with them last week to discuss my Child Care for Working Families Act & how we're fighting back against Trump's attacks on child care and pre-K.
Senator Murray is sitting at the end of a table with her hand resting on her chin. She is looking to the right and smiling. 10 other people are sitting at the table.
🚨Republicans are once again trying to defund Planned Parenthood, which means defunding basic health care for millions of women: cancer screenings, birth control, reproductive health care & more. Why? To attack reproductive freedom & pass more tax cuts for billionaires. No way.
While Republicans fight to pass tax cuts for billionaires that blow up the national debt, they're also insisting that millions of Americans lose their health care. This bill will shut down hospitals, force seniors out of nursing homes, and kick children off their health care.
CBO estimates that the combined effect of Republican Medicaid proposals, allowing enhanced ACA premium tax credits to expire, and President Trump’s proposed ACA rules would increase the number of uninsured by 13.7 million. That would take us back to close to pre-ACA levels.
Trump's Social Security Administration is filing thousands of LIVING people as dead. It's destroying everything from their credit and banking to their ability to access health care or housing. I'm demanding a full investigation.
This Mother's Day, I'm thinking about all the moms who are working hard to make ends meet—while Trump's tariffs drive up prices on everyday essentials from groceries to car seats. I was in Seattle this week talking to moms about what Trump's new taxes on families will mean for them.
Senator Murray is smiling and reaching her arm out. In front of her, a woman is holding a baby, and two women are standing to the left and smiling at the interaction. In the background are a few other people. They are standing in a room full of shelves with baby strollers, car seats, and boxes on them.
I spoke to leaders from Tacoma-Pierce County to talk about how Trump's dangerous trade war is hurting small businesses & making it harder to build affordable housing and how the admin is slashing housing & transportation programs that people rely on. I'm fighting back.
Senator Murray is sitting at the end of a large table with nine other people pictured, as well as two people on chairs against a wall. She is sitting with her hands together under her chin, looking at someone toward the end of the table with their back to the camera.
Trump is decimating the Forest Service & firing the very people who help save our communities. Not only that, but he wants to eliminate FEMA entirely. He's not just gutting the work to prevent fires—but also the work to rebuild after disaster strikes. I'm sounding the alarm.
Straight off the plane from D.C. I headed to West Side Baby in Seattle to talk to moms about how Trump's tariffs are raising costs on everyday items families need, from strollers to car seats. I’m rallying with parents to pressure Republicans to join me in STOPPING Trump’s Baby Tax!
Senator Murray is standing at a podium that has a sign on the front that reads "STOP TRUMP'S BABY TAX." There are 11 other people in the photo—5 adults and 6 children. They are in a room that has shelves of car seats, diapers, strollers, and unopened boxes.
Senator Murray is standing at a podium that has a sign on the front that reads "STOP TRUMP'S BABY TAX." To the right of the Senator is a person who is standing and holding a young boy and to the left of the Senator is another person who is also standing. They are in a room that has shelves of car seats, diapers, strollers, and unopened boxes.
Senator Murray is standing next to a podium that says "STOP TRUMP'S BABY TAX". Four people are standing next to her and one of them is holding a baby. They are in a room that has shelves of car seats, diapers, strollers, and unopened boxes.

Senator Murray is standing next to a podium and two people, one of which is leaning against a stroller that has two children in it. They are in a room that has shelves of car seats, diapers, strollers, and unopened boxes.
Dr. Hayden is a trailblazer who has spent her entire career serving Americans and Trump callously fired her a year before the end of her term. There is no justification for firing an extraordinary public servant like Dr. Hayden, respected on both sides of the aisle. It's a disgrace.
President Donald Trump on Thursday fired Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress — the first woman and first African American to hold the position. She was informed of the decision in a terse, two-sentence email.
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy—but they already often operate on razor-thin margins & now they're taking a serious hit from Trump’s boneheaded trade war. Republicans need to join Democrats to STOP these tariffs—that’s what I’m fighting for this #SmallBusinessWeek.
