I won't let Republicans attack abortion rights & slink away from the limelight. Whether it's defunding Planned Parenthood or blocking insurers from covering abortion care, I'm fighting back and shining a burning spotlight on their backdoor plans to ban abortion.

Three years since Dobbs, and Republicans are attacking abortion every way they can, whether it's trying to defund Planned Parenthood or ban insurers from covering abortion. I'm hosting a forum to lay out the facts on Republicans' War on Reproductive Freedom. Watch⬇️ youtube.com/live/iWzvARuCn…

Republicans may have a lot of power right now but that doesn’t mean we have none. Three years after Dobbs, I’ll keep telling the stories of the women suffering under GOP abortion bans. I’ll keep fighting anti-choice policies & working to restore abortion rights nationwide.

When someone's local hospital closes, they won't "get over it." When someone's nursing home closes, they won't "get over it." When someone's kid is kicked off health care, they won't "get over it." America, let these Republicans know you will NOT "get over" cuts to Medicaid.

Anytime someone rightly calls out this administration for anti-veteran policies like firing VA staff or changing discrimination policy, Trump's VA Secretary says they're "scaring veterans." So I told him today, if you don't want to "scare" veterans, STOP doing what you're doing.

RFK Jr. fired all of the experts at CDC's vaccine advisory committee. He installed 8 unvetted people, including anti-vaxxers who should have ZERO role in deciding which vaccines insurance should cover. The committee's next meeting must be postponed. murray.senate.gov/murray-calls-f…

Let's address this outburst—you never answered my question. Did you or did you not explicitly REMOVE language requiring health care professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics & marital status? If you believe it has no impact, why not reinstate the language?

Republicans are not immune to public pressure.   Everybody hates this Big Ugly bill—and for good reason. Keep speaking up so that everyone knows what this bill actually does.   NO cuts to Medicaid. NO cuts to SNAP.   Every Senator should vote NO on Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

You're NOT answering the question. If removing protections for a veteran's politics & marital status doesn't change anything, then WHY did you remove them at all? Does it cost anything other than your ego to restore that language? I trust VA doctors, but I don't trust you.

Although she had no idea what I was talking about, I appreciate AG Bondi's offer to discuss the grants she's illegally terminating. However, our communities shouldn't have to rely on Senators playing whack-a-mole with this administration to restore public safety grants.

Russ Vought, Trump's budget chief, came before Senate Appropriations Dems today to ask Congress to codify DOGE cuts. Here's what I had to say: Congress needs to REJECT these cuts and reassert its power of the purse. To my colleagues: join me in defending the authority of Congress.

Russ Vought is already illegally withholding hundreds of billions in federal funding from our communities. Now, he's refusing to rule out cutting off even more funding with a new, illegal end run around Congress. He's ignoring common sense & the plain text of the law.

Republicans tried to effectively ban insurers from covering abortion care in their Big Ugly bill. This would've been catastrophic, even in states like mine where abortion is legal.   But Democrats fought and WON, stripping out this provision. It's not over. We'll keep fighting.

SCOTUS allowing states to defund Planned Parenthood will mean real harm to millions of women who need cancer screenings or birth control in South Carolina & other GOP states that follow their lead. A devastating blow to women's health care in America. murray.senate.gov/senator-murray…

We can't become numb to this lunacy. Republicans can't let anti-vaxxers like Lyn Redwood help OVERSEE vaccine safety. She will spread even more dangerous lies about vaccines—and she’s going to get kids killed. She doesn't belong anywhere near CDC. murray.senate.gov/senator-murray…

Listen to the doctors: When patients go uninsured, they delay care, and it increases costs for everyone. Instead of paying $10 for diabetic medication, we'll pay $10,000 for an amputation. Help share so that everyone understands and speaks out AGAINST this Big Ugly Bill.

I hope you’ll listen to Sarah share how Medicaid has saved her son Paul's life. Like Sarah says, the benefits of Medicaid are more than health care or home care—they have helped Paul live a full life. Please help share Paul's story. NO cuts to Medicaid.

This ruling is deeply alarming, but let's be clear: Trump’s lying again. Probably because his staff will tell him whatever makes him happy. Or maybe he just can’t understand. Regardless, his anti-American EO is still unconstitutional, and it WILL be fought any way we can.

Trump does not have the power to drag the U.S. into a war with Iran over the objections of Congress and the American people. I voted for Senator Kaine's War Powers Resolution tonight to send a clear message: NO war with Iran. murray.senate.gov/senator-murray…
