Republicans CHOSE to let the ACA tax credits expire & drive up health care costs, forcing families to drop coverage.   Their argument? It's too expensive to lower YOUR health care costs.    But somehow there is ALWAYS money for Trump's reckless foreign wars and gold-plated ballrooms.
Trump is out-of-touch with reality.   It’s simple: the American people don’t care about the bottom of the reflecting pool being painted or a White House ballroom. They care about being able to afford to put food on the table and get health care when they need it.
Q: You are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran. Why focus on all these projects right now? We're still seeing gas prices soaring TRUMP: I want to keep our country beautiful and safe. It's such a stupid question you asked. This is one of the worst reporters. She's with ABC fake news.
I met with kids in Yakima who rely on housing and homelessness programs to keep a roof over their heads.    Trump tried to cut these programs by HALF. I said no–and even increased that funding. Let’s build more housing for our kids, not a ballroom for Trump.
There it is. Republicans’ SAVE Act is not about protecting the right to vote – it’s about putting up barriers to make it harder for certain people to vote. Senate Democrats will block this anti-democracy garbage from ever becoming law.
Rep. Roger Williams on the SAVE America Act: "We want the right people voting"
Today is Military Spouses Day & I want to express how grateful I am to our military spouses for their sacrifices. Congress must do more than extend its gratitude; that’s why, from housing to affordable child care, I'm fighting to give military families the support they deserve.
Trump pushed out as many VA providers as he could, without worrying about the consequences, and now the VA is refusing to fill badly-need clinical positions. This means longer wait times for veterans and more burnout for already overwhelmed providers. Our veterans deserve better.
Trump wants massive funding cuts for the Hanford cleanup, which would mean pointless delays and drive up costs even more. Not on my watch. Workers have made incredible progress turning nuclear waste into glass. I won’t let Trump threaten our environment and our future.
I spoke with health care providers in Ellensburg, and here's what I know: Medicaid cuts mean more uninsured patients and tougher margins for rural hospitals already stretched thin. It's not an accident—it was a GOP policy decision. We need a Congress that will repeal the cuts.
For Republicans, there's always money for ICE and there's even ONE BILLION DOLLARS for Trump’s White House ballroom.   But there's no money to help you or your family get by. Oh and whatever happened to everything being privately funded?
Last year, Republicans passed the single largest cut to health care in our nation’s history—& rural hospitals are taking the biggest hit. I was at Kittitas Valley Healthcare to talk about the status of health care here in Central WA. Instead of funding Trump's war, we should fund Medicaid.
Senator Murray is sitting at the head of a large table with her hand over her mouth. Four other people are seated at the table. The wall behind them has large text that says "SERVICE TRANSPARENCY COLLABORATION QUALITY RESPECT."
Senator Murray is sitting at the end of a table, looking to the right at a man who is seated next to her. She is holding a sheet of paper and a pen in her hands.
Senator Murray is standing in front of a counter, looking at a woman whose back is turned to the camera. Five other people are all standing around them.
Republicans kicked millions of kids and families off SNAP, then drove up the cost of basically everything with Trump's reckless tariffs and war of choice with Iran. They do not care about helping working families—not one bit—and I will keep fighting back.
The Fifth Circuit's ruling to limit access to medication abortion was a political decision by a few extremist judges. SCOTUS paused that ruling—now Congressional Democrats are arguing what the science always made clear: mifepristone is safe & effective.
Republicans' next big legislative push includes: ✅ $70+ billion for ICE & Border Patrol ✅$1 billion for Trump’s ballroom ❌ $0 for health care ❌$0 to help you afford the basics Budgets show your priorities—and this makes clear Republicans won't lift a finger to help working families.
Radical judges tried to rip mifepristone away from women in America. SCOTUS paused that ruling—and I just led every Senate Democrat in an amicus brief making the case the science already made: mifepristone is safe & effective. Extremists shouldn't decide how we get our medicine.
Even Republicans don't support Trump's Big, Ugly, Bloated War budget. $1.5 TRILLION for war while he cuts investments here at home? Absolutely not. I'm tearing up his budget to write a new one that actually invests in America and our families.
Families can't afford to fill their tank and put food on the table because of Republican wars and tariffs. Health care is more expensive than ever thanks to Republican cuts and obstruction. Americans simply don't care about a stupid ballroom.
Trump: "Very importantly, right over there, you're gonna have the greatest ballroom ever built"
Trump passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. Hospitals are laying off staff and closing because of him. Right now, in several states like mine, he's using AI to deny seniors on Medicare the treatments their doctors are recommending. These are just facts.
Trump on flying with Dr Oz: "It was the most boring trip I've ever made. He's telling me about Medicare, Medicaid. I said, 'You work out the details.'"
