Senator Patty Murray
U.S. Senator, Washington state | Senate Appropriations Vice Chair | Working every day to help people and solve problems
- While Republicans fight to pass tax cuts for billionaires that blow up the national debt, they're also insisting that millions of Americans lose their health care. This bill will shut down hospitals, force seniors out of nursing homes, and kick children off their health care.
- I spoke to leaders from Tacoma-Pierce County to talk about how Trump's dangerous trade war is hurting small businesses & making it harder to build affordable housing and how the admin is slashing housing & transportation programs that people rely on. I'm fighting back.
- Trump is decimating the Forest Service & firing the very people who help save our communities. Not only that, but he wants to eliminate FEMA entirely. He's not just gutting the work to prevent fires—but also the work to rebuild after disaster strikes. I'm sounding the alarm.
- This administration has deported a four-year old U.S. citizen with cancer. They're illegally disappearing people to a foreign torture prison. The first thing history will say about Secretary Noem's leadership is that she was responsible for many of these travesties.
- Kash Patel, the conspiracy theorist that Republicans made FBI Director, came to a Senate hearing on the budget—with NO budget, NO timeline, and NO clue. It's downright incompetent, and it's making America less safe. We need serious leadership at the FBI.
- WA state: TODAY TSA will start enforcing REAL ID. If you're planning to fly, make sure you have a REAL ID compliant: -Washington State Enhanced Driver License -U.S. passport -or another type of photo ID accepted by TSA. Not sure? Click the link to see if you have one:
- Republicans are trying to kick MILLIONS of people off their health insurance—all to make room for tax cuts for billionaires. This is the kind of harm Republicans are willing to inflict on their own constituents.
- One economically illiterate President is forcing a totally thoughtless trade war onto the entire world, pushing our country into a recession while increasing taxes on everyone. Congress needs to take the matches away from the President who is setting fire to the economy.
- Millions of kids rely on the free and reduced-price lunches they get at school every day—and when school goes on break, they go hungry. I introduced a new bill to fix this by expanding Summer EBT to cover school breaks. In the richest country on earth, NO kid should go hungry.
