I met with Battle Ground Mayor McCoy to discuss transportation and public safety projects. Always important to hear on-the-ground updates from WA state back in the Other Washington!
Senator Murray is sitting at the end of a table with her hands crossed in front of her. There are 3 people sitting at the table in front of her.
The @pspartnership.bsky.social does critical work to restore ecosystems, uphold Tribal treaty rights, and strengthen our local economy. I’ll always fight to protect the natural resources that make Puget Sound so special.
Senator Murray is sitting at the head of a large table, smiling with her arms crossed. At least eight people are sitting at the table, and everyone is looking at one woman who is speaking. On the table, there are folders, papers, pens, and a bowler hat.
In WA state so many communities are in floodways & the process to get approval on important salmon habitat restoration can take years.   I'm introducing a bill to provide the flexibility needed to better protect & restore our ecosystems, & still uphold flood safety standards.
Trump's priorities are clear: slash NIH funding, gut our medical research industry & risk Americans' health. I had important conversations this week at Seattle Children's about what this means for WA state families—our doctors and scientists won't give up the fight, and neither will I.
Senator Murray smiles with two women standing on either side of her in front of research poster presentations.
Senator Murray is sitting at a table with a microphone in front of her. Next to her is a young girl who is looking at the Senator.
Senator Murray is standing in front of a woman who is facing her back to the camera. Behind them are other people in a lab environment.
Senator Murray is standing up talking to a woman. Behind them is a man with camera equipment recording them.
President Trump wants to defund programs that working Americans count on while he shovels tax breaks at billionaires and raises taxes on middle-class families with his reckless tariffs. I'll do everything in my power to stop his cruel budget. Read my full statement below:
NIH's work saves lives—& Trump is gutting it. Straight from D.C. I headed to Seattle Children's to hear from researchers & patients alike about the importance of NIH funding—it's not just about lines in a budget, it's about lifesaving discoveries. We ALL need to speak up to save it.
I heard from the WA State Public School Employees Union who are worried what Trump slashing the Dept. of Education will mean for their students and schools. I will ALWAYS stand up for teachers and fight for critical resources for students.
Senator Murray is standing at the head of a large wooden table, with her hands crossed on the back of a chair. There are at least six people pictures sitting at the table and around the room, and one woman is speaking with her hands outstretched.
I joined @wyden.senate.gov, @padilla.senate.gov, & West Coast Ports to sound the alarm on how Trump’s inane tariffs will mean empty shelves, painful layoffs, and a tax increase on every American. Congress needs to take the matches away from the President who is setting fire to the economy.
I just voted NO to advance Frank Bisignano's nomination to lead the Social Security Administration. NO SENATOR should vote to confirm someone who will enable Trump & Elon to DECIMATE SSA and make it harder for Americans to get the benefits they've paid into their entire careers.
Trump's immigration crackdown isn't just disappearing innocent people, it is undermining the right to free speech. It seems like if you are an immigrant, even one here legally, who disagrees with the President, your rights are gone. It's fundamentally un-American.
BREAKING: Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a resolution to end Trump's tariffs. Despite how these tariffs are: - crushing American small businesses, - will force a massive tax INCREASE on everyone, - and are pushing the country toward a painful recession.
Trump is sending people off to a torture prison in El Salvador with absolutely NO due process & NO transparency. There are many people who were here legally, who have no criminal record, whose families have no idea if they're even alive. It's barbaric, and it's unconstitutional.
Today my bill to reauthorize @nwstraits.bsky.social passed through Committee! NW Straits is close to my heart—they do critical work to protect our marine resources in WA state, which is crucial for our economy and way of life. I'll keep pushing to get this bill across the finish line.
WATCH.   *This* is why we invest in medical research—and why we cannot let Trump single-handedly rip away the treatments—or the hope—that has made Charlie’s pediatric cancer recovery possible.
Trump and Musk want to make the biggest cut to our medical research in NIH history. That'll mean sick kids not getting the treatment they need, families losing hope of cures for their loved ones, and our nation's progress being catapulted backwards.
Sometimes, economic policy can be complicated, but right now, it's a plain matter of fact that Trump alone is pushing this country toward a recession. Trump's tariffs are a tax on everyone—they'll lead to bare shelves and painful layoffs. Republicans must end this trade war.
NEW: U.S. economy shrinks at 0.3% rate in first Trump-era GDP report
Trump is targeting trans Americans and attacking all LGBTQ+ people, using the full force of government. That's wrong. And that's why it's more important than ever to fight for equal protection under the law. Nothing more, nothing less. Proud to help reintroduce the #EqualityAct.
Republicans are full-speed ahead on their budget plan to deliver $5.3 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires—at the same time they're promising that Medicaid is safe from cuts. The truth is, Republicans can't keep both of these promises.
We're 100 days into the most corrupt administration in U.S. History. All we have to show for it is a chaotic trade war, billions in frozen funding, & a promise of giant tax cuts for billionaires—but no matter what day we're on, I'm fighting back with everything I've got.
