“Completely unhinged and unreasonable and unserious." Is Leader Thune talking about the president? Here's the truth: Republicans are forcing a shutdown because they won't so much as sit down with Democrats to find a solution to fund the government & protect your health care.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 24(source)
Birth control is NOT abortion. But Republicans are trying to classify it as such so they can lay the groundwork to BAN contraception altogether. Trump is invoking this lie to destroy $10 MILLION worth of contraceptives—& I'm not letting it fly under the radar.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 24(source)
At a Senate Education Committee hearing on the state of K-12 education, I had to be honest. Trump is illegally freezing & cancelling funding for our schools and doing everything he can to dismantle the Department of Education. The state of education is in shambles.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 23(source)
Trump's Big Ugly Bill kicks 15 million people off their health care, and unless Congress acts, premiums will double for 20+ million Americans. Democrats want to solve the GOP health care crisis & keep government open. But Republicans won't even TALK about health care.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 23(source)
I was in Vancouver yesterday, meeting with local small business owners to talk about how Trump’s tariffs are costing them big time. These tariffs are a TAX on consumers and small businesses alike. Republicans can vote with Democrats to END these tariffs any day of the week.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 23(source)
What Homan and other Trump officials should remember is that eventually the law and its consequences will catch up to them. Maybe Republicans are willing to ignore bribery & blatant corruption, But I certainly am not. This shouldn’t be acceptable to ANYONE, regardless of party.
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 23(source)
Yet another absurd and delusional rant from the President, who apparently can't handle a meeting with Democrats on his own. Trump would rather force a shutdown than simply talk to Democrats about keeping government open and preventing health care premiums from exploding.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 22(source)
This has maybe been the most uninformed and dangerous “health” press conference held by the U.S. government in my lifetime.   Don’t listen to Trump or RFK Jr. when it comes to vaccines, Tylenol, or anything having to do with your health—talk to your doctor.   My god.

Breaking News: In a rambling news briefing, President Trump promoted unproven ties between vaccines, autism and Tylenol use by pregnant women and babies. nyti.ms/46OqOvD

It's the first day of fall, and Trump is celebrating by taxing YOUR morning cup of coffee by an average of almost 15%. Leaves might be falling, but thanks to this reckless trade war, coffee prices are rising. It's time Republicans join Democrats to END these idiotic tariffs.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 22(source)
Here's the President publicly pressuring the Attorney General to appoint someone who will charge his political enemies with a made-up crime because he said so. Republican leaders are content to just look away. It's on the rest of us to shine a harsh spotlight on this corruption.

Trump posts a deranged message to Pam Bondi pressuring her to prosecute his political enemies after a U.S. attorney quit because he refused to fabricate charges: “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.”
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 22(source)
Compromise is a very basic principle every American understands. If Republicans “don’t bother” working with Democrats just because Trump said so, it will be a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Republicans control the House, Senate, & White House—the American people will know who to blame.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 21(source)
Republicans had a chance to stop YOUR health care premiums from going up—they chose to skip town instead.   Now, health care costs are going to skyrocket—by as much as 21% in WA state alone.   Democrats are doing everything we can to force Republicans to address this crisis.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 20(source)
ICE is detaining pregnant women who pose no threat to the public and putting them and their babies at risk. I've introduced a bill to help, but we need to keep pushing for accountability and shining a spotlight on human rights abuses. That's why I'm pressing for answers NOW.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 19(source)
Republicans just voted AGAINST a bill Democrats wrote to fund the government and also fix the GOP health care crisis. Now Republicans are LEAVING TOWN instead of working with us to lower health care costs and stop hospitals from closing. Make sure everyone knows it.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 19(source)
Every Senator had a simple choice today: vote for a bill to responsibly fund the government AND address the GOP health care crisis. Republicans chose to sit on their hands, OR NOT EVEN SHOW UP, rather than lift a finger to address the health care crisis they themselves created.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 19(source)
BREAKING: Republicans just voted against a bill to fund the government AND fix the health care crisis THEY created. Republicans voted to send premiums skyrocketing and to shut down rural hospitals.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 19(source)
Republicans say they want to address rising health care costs, just not right now. So WHEN? Premiums are already spiking, and hospitals are already closing. Well, Democrats are FORCING the conversation. Let's fund the government AND fix the Republican health care crisis.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 19(source)
Good morning, it's a great day for Republicans to choose to fund the government AND fix the health care crisis they themselves created. No one wants a shutdown but Donald Trump. Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs and keep hospitals from closing.
