Fun to watch all the smart online people who are having trouble getting their heads wrapped around the idea that strategic ambiguity, by definition, involves being intentionally ambiguous. — PolitiTweet.org

This isn’t true. It’s made up. Just plain made up. But @tedcruz has a big following and so when he says things people believe him. — PolitiTweet.org

I was on Morning Joe today talking w ⁦@morningmika⁩ about the landmark #BuildBackBetter prescription drug reform, lowering the cost for patients and seniors. Big win! https://t.co/j6FM0kd6OI — PolitiTweet.org

FYI here's the article with a great narrative on gun laws in early America: https://t.co/6yjqCDpczh — PolitiTweet.org

5/ So this idea that the 2nd Amendment prohibits these laws is a completely modern fabrication. The people who wrote and approved the Bill of Rights were often the same who supported laws controlling the public carrying of weapons. That's the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

4/ As an example, Alabama's 1837 law was entitled "An act to suppress the evil practice of carrying weapons secretly.” Early America was full of laws allowing government to regulate guns in public. It was viewed as a perfectly constitutional exercise of government authority. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ And it's not like independence from Britain - or the adoption of the 2nd Amendment - changed anything. In the late 1700s, North Carolina and Virginia passed laws restricting carrying guns in public. In the 1800s, 38 more states joined the list. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ Colonial America was full of laws regulating who could carry guns in America. As early as 1686, New Jersey enacted a law against wearing weapons because they induced “great Fear and Quarrels.” Massachusetts followed in 1750. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

1/ The idea that the Constitution doesn't allow government to control the carrying of guns in public would have been MYSTIFYING to our founding fathers. Why? Because our founders passed tons of laws regulating the carrying of guns. Here's the quick story. https://t.co/JOeuIdUiuO — PolitiTweet.org

When there is no accountability for a mistake this grave and this costly, it sends a message all the way through the command structure that the killing of civilians is just an ordinary cost of war. This is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Let's be clear: the Second Amendment does NOT prevent us from passing gun safety laws. The Supreme Court made this clear in Heller. Any suggestion otherwise is beyond radical. https://t.co/ryL3IiOOzY — PolitiTweet.org

Just so we're all operating on the same information about who America's "allies" are, read this story about how Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE facilitated the coup in Sudan. https://t.co/K2uqVtCdkn — PolitiTweet.org

Just so you're all in on the joke, "Brandon" is the Trump team's super clever shorthand for "Fuck Joe Biden". It's really important for the modern Republican Party to let you know that they use swear words. It's like the key point in their platform: "We say "fuck" now." — PolitiTweet.org

For over 15 years Democrats have been talking about ending the prohibition on Medicare using its bulk purchasing power to bring down the cost of drugs. Joe Biden - with the help of this Democratic Congress - will finally get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

It’s a really good deal for patients. It cuts drug costs, ends price gouging, and finally, finally allows Medicare to negotiate directly with the drug industry. — PolitiTweet.org

The very large crowd gathered to see the JFK Jr. reveal himself after his faked death isn’t funny. It’s a deeply worrying sign of how unhinged our political conversation has become from truth. — PolitiTweet.org

I stand with Texans who continue to live under this cruel ban on abortion. As long as access is threatened, people’s health care is put at risk. Thank you to the brave advocates and storytellers who are speaking out and keeping up the pressure. — PolitiTweet.org
