U.S. Senator, Washington state | @SenateApprops Vice Chair | Working every day to help people and solve problems

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

No soldier’s sacrifice should be covered up. This is a disservice to our men and women in uniform. Trump needs to show our military families respect by being honest and telling the American people the truth about the war he started.

EXCLUSIVE: More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly (gift link) w/ @noahjrobertson @wstrobel @alexhortonTX https://t.co/YVGHxxYLC9

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

After EPA Admin Zeldin said he had never heard of the far-right conspiracy that medication abortion is in our water, the Trump admin announced it's using YOUR tax dollars to study that very topic.

Zeldin obviously lied to my face while EPA placates anti-abortion extremists.

Trump doing whatever he wants, whenever he wants—and expecting hardworking Americans to foot the bill.

A new report found that the average household in WA state has had to pay $4,800 MORE because of rising costs under Trump.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

DOGE wasted $9.5 BILLION taxpayer dollars to pay cancer researchers, park rangers, and so many others to NOT work.

Republicans love to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse. So, let's talk about it.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Presidents with nothing to hide don’t ban reporters.

But this President is historically corrupt—so he has a LOT to hide.

Stand up for the Free Press. Every leader should condemn this.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW, and Politico ... from the White House as a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!"

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Why is Trump fighting an all-out trade war with Canada? It's Canada for god's sake! Our friends and neighbors.

I pushed to pass a bill to END Trump's tariffs and trade war and save families money—Republicans blocked it.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

American families are facing the highest health care premiums ever, and double-digit rate hikes.

Yet here's RFK Jr. talking about chemtrails at an event hosted by a group whose purpose is to spread conspiracy theories about vaccines—theories that are getting kids killed.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

RFK Jr: "We are also looking at chemtrails"

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

We all know Trump's $5,000 checks aren't coming.

But Democrats had a bill to END Trump's tariffs and actually save families money.

Republicans blocked it.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Do my Republican colleagues want future Democratic Presidents to refuse to send disaster aid to states that don't elect Democratic Senators?

Trump has already weaponized disaster aid and refused help to blue states over politics. This is simply unforgivable.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "We spent more than $2 billion in FEMA funding. You're waiting for some additional funding. I'm gonna get that to you. Now if Michael loses, I'm not sending it."

Crowd: *groans*

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

The EPA is literally testing your drinking water for medication abortion.

It's not because the science says we should—it's to make anti-abortion extremists happy.

I won't let these radicals hijack the EPA, and I'll be pushing for answers.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Take a minute to listen to just part of this public comment about how Head Start helps families and changes lives.

Trump is trying to tear Head Start apart. We can't let him.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

So, you think Social Security is fraud?

[Senator Ron Johnson @SenRonJohnson]

The SEC defines a Ponzi scheme as “an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors.”

Yep, pretty well describes Social Security — except it’s legal because the government is running the scheme.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Republican abortion bans are killing women—and the worst part is, they knew this would happen.

Republicans care more about controlling women's bodies than they do about actually protecting them.

Abortion rights in all 50 states.

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

“Tierra Walker is dead because not one of her... health care providers would give her the one medical procedure that would have saved her life,” a lawyer for her family told @Jerickaduncan in an exclusive interview. “And they would not do that because of the immense culture of fear that has been created in the state of Texas,” she said, referring to the state’s restrictions on abortion.

“They just didn't care. They didn't care at all,” Walker’s aunt, LaTanya Walker, who often accompanied her niece to the hospital, told CBS News.

Walker died in December of 2024 from a pregnancy complication, after her family says she was denied an abortion multiple times. In an unprecedented legal battle, her family is now suing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the head of the Texas Medical Board, some of Walker’s doctors and others.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE: I noted that the new Republican Chair of the Senate Budget Committee often calls Social Security a "Ponzi scheme."

He actually called it a "LEGAL Ponzi scheme." Do his Republican colleagues agree?

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Trump's latest top health nominee refused to commit to ending this administration's disastrous AI prior authorization pilot in WA state.

These AI contractors make money based on how many claims they deny. I'm fighting to protect Medicare and END AI prior authorization.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

BREAKING: Republicans JUST blocked Democrats' bill that would have ENDED Trump's tariffs on Canada and his ability to keep starting these trade wars.

This would have saved Americans THOUSANDS of dollars.

But Republicans chose once again to put Trump's approval over the American people.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

My colleagues and I are about to force a vote on the Senate floor to END Trump's tariffs on Canada.

I'm laying out how this idiotic trade war is hurting our communities & economy. WATCH LIVE:

The same guy who has said our country can't afford child care or health care because we have to fund wars has spent at least $38 BILLION of your tax dollars on his war with Iran.

I'm voting to END Trump's war with Iran.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

The Pentagon spent some $38 billion in its first few months of the war with Iran and will need at least five years to replace the missile interceptors it expended trying to defend U.S. troops and bases, according to a nonpartisan congressional watchdog. https://t.co/Nvx1VQg1LZ

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Donald Trump and Republicans passed massive tax breaks for giant AI companies that don't need the extra help.

And they cut health care for regular Americans.

That is the exact opposite of what Congress should be doing.
