Patty Murray: “Biomedical research is an important investment to ensure our government works for all of our families.”

These are funds Congress has delivered on a bipartisan basis and should be helping people—not cut off by a president more focused on building a ballroom than investing in families.

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.

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.
