Patty Murray: “I'm very hopeful that we can put politics aside and work across the aisle to protect our families and communities.”

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.

Tell Congress and the public what these interagency agreements actually cost taxpayers.

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.

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.
