Senator Patty Murray

U.S. Senator for the great state of Washington ● Mom (and Nana) in tennis shoes ● she/her/hers

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.

$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.

What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it!

Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

More blatant extortion attempts coming out of the White House this morning.

Trump and Vought are targeting projects in blue states to punish their political opposition by hurting regular people.

Everyone can see these crooks for what they are & none of us should be intimidated.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from.

Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Telling Democrats "just give us your votes, talk to us later about health care" is NOT going to cut it.

I'm saying NO. Premiums are set to more than DOUBLE.

Republicans need to get serious about negotiations to reopen the government AND address the GOP health care crisis.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Free speech is under attack in America. But there are more of us who believe in free speech than there are authoritarian Trump cronies.

So speak up. Your voice really does matter. It's what Trump is most afraid of. That's why he's desperate to silence critics.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

NEW: I'm calling on the Inspector General to investigate the chaos at CDC and how RFK Jr. is restricting access to vaccines.

America deserves answers, so I'm pushing for real oversight.

But the bottom line? The best thing Trump could do is FIRE RFK Jr. right now.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter he didn't like. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air.

He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone.

Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Republicans have made it pretty clear they will do literally anything except lower the cost of health care.

They see premiums are set to skyrocket, and they’re content to twiddle their thumbs in response and ignore Democratic solutions.

Couldn't be a bigger contrast.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Trump made his marching orders plain as day, saying, "Don’t even bother dealing with them."

I’ve got some news for Republicans: if you "don’t even bother" dealing with Democrats, and find you don’t have the votes you need to fund the government—THAT is a Republican shutdown.

GOOD NEWS FOR AMERICA: My friend @SherrodBrown is running for Senate in Ohio. He is someone who really cares about and will fight for working people.

I hope you’ll consider supporting Sherrod and chip in what you can: https://t.co/WIH2LUCFJ4

[Sherrod Brown @SherrodBrown]

Standing up for workers. Treating everyone with dignity and respect. Working as hard as possible for the people of Ohio.

I've tried to live my life by those principles. But these days that's not what's happening in Washington—so I'm running for Senate.

[Roy Cooper @RoyCooperNC]

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Like if your name ISN’T in the Epstein files.

Repost if you think Trump should RELEASE THE FILES!

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

🚨Did you know that RIGHT NOW Republicans are working to defund public broadcasting? Everything from shows our kids love like Sesame Street to local news to emergency alerts.

I'm on the Senate floor forcing as many amendment votes as possible to save this funding.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

The Senate is voting TODAY on cuts to PBS, rural radio, and so much more.

It's local journalism, lifesaving emergency alerts, and quality educational programming for our kids.

Public media is free for everyone—let's protect it.

I will be voting NO. Please speak up.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

OK, @Sec_Noem, then show us the receipts that you extended those contracts.

Turn over documents detailing exactly when you renewed those contracts.

There needs to be bipartisan oversight and Congressional hearings over these truly unacceptable failures.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Here's the deal: Trump, Bondi, and Patel are either a part of the Epstein coverup that they so frequently spoke of...

OR they need to come clean about why they lied to the American people about the Epstein files.

Release the Epstein files, @AGPamBondi—who's stopping you?

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Do not grade this administration on a curve. Their thoughtless cuts and dangerous policies are putting lives in danger.

Make sure everyone knows about these failures.

All of us should be outraged, and no one should let them off the hook. Fire Kristi Noem.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Maybe cutting PBS and getting our kids hooked on brainrot TV is part of the Republican plan.

After all, if our kids watch PBS, they might learn to count!

And if our kids learn to count, how will Republicans ever convince anyone that trillions of dollars in tax cuts are free?
