Trump could not say it more plainly: he doesn't "give a damn" about the American people suffering because of his illegal war. VOTE!
Just outright disgusting and hateful garbage. Trump is focused on spewing this garbage instead of doing anything to make life more affordable for Americans. A total disgrace.
Trump doubles down on Islamophobia towards Abdul El-Sayed: "He would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector."
Trump is weaponizing America's Department of Justice to argue that elections can only be certified if Republicans win. This is historic corruption, but he doesn't get the final word. We do at the ballot box. VOTE!
This is the most corrupt President in history. Trump is trying to extort voters—saying he won’t help veterans if this state doesn’t vote his way. We’ve already seen him illegally withhold funds from “blue” states. We can send this crook a message with our votes and our voice.
Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."
NO. Congress funds FEMA to respond to disasters that REQUIRE federal support. Trump's already politicized disaster relief—an unforgivable and unAmerican transgression that I don't plan on forgetting. He doesn't get to wave a magic wand and abolish FEMA. I'm fighting back.
So we are "fighting fraud" by establishing a NEW slush fund where Trump personally decides payouts? What a grift. Trump is serious about fraud—serious about committing it!
Trump: "Sometimes there's a dispute about who turned them in and who is supposed to get what and when. So I am going to do something which I think people will like - I will be the arbitrator of all of these decisions. I'll determine whether the person is deserving ... there's nothing in this for me"
Trump wants to squeeze families who are already struggling with their student debt, after already raising their prices on everything from gas to health care. Absolutely not. I'll be pushing back.

@murray.senate.gov and I met with firefighters and leadership from the WA State Fire Training Academy in North Bend to tour the facility and thank them for protecting our communities from wildfires.
Trump and Republicans kicked millions of people off SNAP because they would rather give billionaires more money than make sure working families can put food on the table.
Trump started a war no one supported. It created a global energy crisis. The economy runs on fuel–when diesel and oil are more expensive, you will feel it at the pump, grocery store, almost everywhere. Trump’s illegal war is making life unaffordable.
Who is safer when America forcibly detains a woman who has called this country home since she was 6, is a mom to four citizens, and is a military spouse? This is a disgrace and we need to force a change with our voice and our votes.
Public health is as important as our national defense. It needs to be trusted and grounded in science and facts. We can’t just put back what Trump and RFK Jr. broke. I'm working to build something that can’t be broken again.
This is heartbreaking. Kids are being killed in class. And it's been 13 years since the Sandy Hook shooting. It's way past time for Congress to pass gun safety reforms. My heart goes out to every family suffering with a loss tonight. Our kids deserve better.
Trump wants to create an entirely new federal agency to do the exact same work the Department of Education already does—and call it "efficiency." It's illegal without Congress. And more than 40 million student loan borrowers will pay the price.
Taxpayers fund EPA to protect their health and the environment, not to advance a political agenda against women's health care. I'm demanding answers from Trump's EPA about its new study tracking medication abortion in drinking water.
Helen was a leading light for public health reporting, especially in the dark times of COVID. We will all miss her thoughtful voice.
