Patty Murray: “Emergency COVID funding is not something that would be nice to have. It is something that we desperately need.”

While Trump spends tax dollars on ads promoting himself, Congress needs to reassert its powers to help people, and it’s past time Republicans join us in that fight.

This is theft from the American people, plain and simple.

We should not have to remind you that using government funding to create or air political ads like the ones that have been running over the last few days is illegal and a shockingly corrupt misuse of taxpayer dollars.

I will keep pushing for that — abortion care should always be accessible and covered, no matter where you get health care or what type of insurance you have.
