🚈 Washington state's newest addition to public transit: a train running over a floating bridge! 🚈   I have fought for @sound-transit.bsky.social since its earliest days and seeing the Crosslake Connection finally open was AWESOME!   THIS is why I'll keep fighting to invest in public transit! 🚉
Senator Murray is standing with a crowd of people behind a large blue ribbon that says "Connect" in large letters. She's holding a large pair of scissors.
Senator Murray is standing on a stage at a podium, smiling and looking out of frame at the crowd.
Senator Murray is on the right side of the frame, standing on stage at a podium. There is a large crowd on the left of the frame, seated, looking at the Senator. Everyone is under a large white tent.
The Senate passed a bill to fund all of DHS except ICE and Border Patrol. And we did it with the unanimous consent of ALL 100 SENATORS. Speaker Johnson refused to vote on this bill and chose to continue holding TSA hostage and to continue Trump's chaos.
After years of wondering and people asking, "When is light rail going to come to Bellevue?" We have our answer: about every 8 minutes! 🎉🚈 You can now ride the world's first train on a floating bridge, and that is pretty darn cool.
No new money for ICE and Border Patrol without reform. This isn't complicated & Democrats could not have been clearer. The Senate unanimously approved funding for TSA, our Coast Guard, and disaster relief—the House needs to pass this bill TODAY. It's time to end Trump's chaos.
NEW BILL 🚨 I introduced new legislation to invest in preventing youth homelessness and it’s got serious bipartisan support. Let’s commit to ensuring that every kid in America has a safe place to call home.
BREAKING: Republicans have relented to Democratic demands to fund the rest of DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol. No more holding TSA hostage. No blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. We need real reforms & accountability. I'll keep fighting for exactly that.
Instead of actually helping students, Trump & his billionaire Secretary of Education are lighting millions of taxpayer dollars on fire with these stunts. How about instead of abolishing the Department of Education, we just make sure kids can read at grade level?
Trump is spending billions of YOUR taxpayer dollars on a war of choice with Iran — and it's driving up the costs of everything from gas to groceries. Trump's response to families struggling to afford the high prices? "It didn't matter to me." Despicable.
Trump on Iran: I thought that the oil prices would go up higher. I thought the stock market would go somewhat lower. But it didn't matter to me.
If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax. So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires. If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.
Today is March 26th, Equal Pay Day. It marks just how far into this year women must work just to make what men made the previous year. Pennies per day add up to life-changing amounts.  It's time we pass my Paycheck Fairness Act and help end the wage gap.
Government can do good things to make life better for our families—that's why @warren.senate.gov and I are starting the Child Care for America working group here in Congress. We're going to deliver affordable, high-quality child care accessible for EVERY working family.
In the richest nation on Earth, child care shouldn't be a privilege reserved for only the wealthy. That's why today @murray.senate.gov and I are launching a new working group to write landmark legislation to deliver affordable child care for every family. Let's get this done.
Residents of Washington state. Students. Married women. Seniors. Rural families. Millions of people will have to jump through hoops & pay more to vote under Trump's SAVE America Act. I will not let Republicans pass their scam anti-voter bill.
BREAKING: Democrats tried to overturn Trump's near-total abortion ban at the VA. Republicans blocked it. Republicans don't think veterans who are survivors of rape or incest deserve to get the abortion care they need. It's cruel—and I'll keep fighting back.
BREAKING: For the 11th time, Republicans have blocked Democrats from paying TSA. Republicans have been given ELEVEN chances to send TSA agents their paychecks, but they refuse.
The SAVE America Act is a disaster for democracy and I'm not going let it get passed into law. Are we seriously going to ask rural seniors to buy a $165 passport and drive miles and miles to register to vote in person?
The most immediate threat to Social Security is Donald Trump. From pushing out Social Security workers, worse customer service, and more, Trump is creating new problems and making it harder for seniors and people with disabilities to get their benefits.
