Ten years later, sweaty and slurring, he's still promising a health care plan he's never delivered on. Instead, Americans got the highest health care costs ever and hospitals laying off staff or shutting down entirely. All thanks to Trump's health care sabotage & Medicaid cuts.
Trump: "We will pass the great healthcare plan. It's called our great healthcare plan. That's the name of it."
Trump broke his promise of free IVF. He doesn't care if veterans can build a family. The Texas GOP just made BANNING IVF a part of their official party platform. These extremists are gaining traction, and we can't be silent. Democrats are fighting back to protect IVF.
I just voted to END the war with Iran. Senate Republicans, however, continue to block Democratic efforts to put a stop to this war. American soldiers are dying, billions of our taxpayer dollars are being set on fire, and prices at home are skyrocketing. This war must END.
Mifepristone is safe & effective. But the absurd legal challenge to restrict access to the most common form of medication abortion is back in court, so I'm leading Senate Dems on an amicus brief with one message: Put science before politics. Don’t restrict access to mifepristone.
I blocked Senate Republicans' petty and offensive resolution that implied Canada is letting their own forests burn just to spite us. I know my Republican colleagues want to show the President how much they agree with him, but please. What a waste of everyone's time.
Trump has seriously undercut VA research with haphazard cuts and freezes. Research to predict stroke risk was held up. A clinical trial to prevent dementia & heart disease was canceled. Now, Trump wants to cut their funding—I told Trump officials, I’m tearing their budget up and writing a new one.
Met with the Chemical Safety Board to get an update on its work following the explosion in Longview. I will keep pushing for answers and accountability following the tragedy at the Nippon plant. The people of Washington state deserve nothing less.
Senator Murray is on the right side of the frame, sitting at a long wooden table, and looking to the left. Three people sit along the table, facing Senator Murray.
Secretary Hegseth said ships should be able to pass through the Strait of Hormuz freely and without tolls. Then Trump insisted the United States SHOULD charge a 20% toll for every ship passing through the strait. I asked him how he squared that contradiction. He couldn't.
This president says we can't afford health care. Can't afford child care. Can't afford housing. But somehow—we can always afford another war. No price tag on that. Absolutely not. I'm refusing to rubber-stamp Trump's outrageous request to bankroll his war with Iran.
The costs of Trump's war have been astronomical. And what has it all been for? We hear a different rationale for this war every few days. Apparently, now it's to REOPEN the Strait of Hormuz that was ALREADY OPEN, toll-free, BEFORE this war. A total failure.
Here we are FIVE MONTHS later since Trump started his war with Iran. Trump has told us FORTY times that a deal is close and the war is nearly over. But now he's asking for $70 billion more—just trust him, it'll work out fine. NO WAY.
I will NOT support rubberstamping Trump's request to bankroll his war with Iran and whatever other misadventures he wants to get us into next. The American people want to see a quick end to this war, not $70 billion of their tax dollars sent to keep it going.
Trump announced 50% tariffs on Canada because of **wildfire smoke**—seriously! He is pitting Canada, our closest friend, neighbor, & WA state's most important trading partner, against America and he's expecting YOU to pay for it. This is just plain stupid.
Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit Loggerhead, Leatherback, and Green Sea Turtles Humpback, Killer, Blue, Sei, Sperm, & Fin Whales Chum Salmon Bull Trout Marbled Murrelet Oregon Spotted Frog Yellow-billed Cuckoo Streaked Horned Lark Mazama Pocket Gophers Taylor's Checkerspot & Island Marble Butterflies
A new Trump rule would make it legal to kill and injure these WA-native species by destroying their habitats: Southern Resident Orcas Grizzly Bears Chinook & Sockeye Salmon Northern Spotted Owl Steelhead Trout Wolverines Canada Lynx Woodland Caribou Gray Wolf Columbian White-tailed Deer
This is wrong in every way. Trump even wants to stop AMERICAN children from accessing Head Start programs—denying them an education AND the benefits they are entitled to based on their parents' immigration status. I'm going to fight back for our kids every way I can.
ICE murdered two people in broad daylight within a week. And now, the FBI is promising LESS accountability. DHS agents need to be reined in—NOT given total impunity. The American people deserve answers. And ICE NEEDS accountability and oversight, ASAP.
Texas Republicans want to ban IVF because they believe it means freezing and killing babies. And this isn't just the fringe parts of the party–it’s now their official party platform. Republicans are making their endgame clear, and we can't afford to ignore it.
