In 2020 Trump couldn’t get (honestly he didn’t try) the G7 to even mention China in the joint statement. https://t.co/0h5fgoZ7j6 — PolitiTweet.org

The main Republican argument right now seems to be that low wages are good because higher wages could lead to things costing more. — PolitiTweet.org

How is it ok that: - 90% of the country; - the majority of the Senate; - the majority of the House; - and the President of the United States support comprehensive background checks... ...but the rules of our democracy don't allow it to pass? — PolitiTweet.org

FYI 32 people were shot yesterday in three mass shootings and when Congress returns to work on Monday half the members elected to protect the country won't give a shit. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Today marks five years since 49 people - FORTY NINE PEOPLE - were shot to death at the Pulse nightclub. And I am filled with fury that so many of my Republican colleagues care only enough to send out a tweet but not enough to stop this endless slaughter. https://t.co/a5SrymGwyk — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks everyone! The Colt Park Foundation hit their goal. You did a great thing for people in need this morning! — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Even if they reach their goal today, still donate. Every additional dollar goes to support the improvement of the park - so don't get scared off if they have reached their modest goal. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Here's a really nice thing you can do this weekend: Colt Park, the biggest park in the low income south end of Hartford, doesn't have picnic tables. So I'm helping them raise the $3,500 they need to upgrade the park for families. Click here to help. https://t.co/D4JQj2vWNB https://t.co/wdpAC7hJNV — PolitiTweet.org

Ok, but the ACA repeal, which took health insurance away from 24 million people, was wildly unpopular. Infrastructure is broadly popular (as are Biden’s revenue sources). Kind of apples to grapefruit. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Why let Republicans decide the size of an infrastructure bill when reconciliation is a perfectly legitimate process (used unapologetically by the GOP when they were in power) to do a bill that will actually make a difference? It’s not cheating to use the rules. — PolitiTweet.org

My conversation today with ⁦@JayBilas⁩ about the need to reform college athletics and properly compensate athletes. He asked me what who my favorite athlete was growing up. (spoiler: Carlton Fisk) https://t.co/E0ajcKx1dX — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Did you know that more than 10,000 students are hospitalized every year due to injuries from corporal punishment? Why on earth do we still allow teachers to hit and paddle kids? My bill with @RepMcEachin would end this barbaric practice in schools. https://t.co/jiHtkvDd2h — PolitiTweet.org

I write these behind-the-scenes accounts every now and again to give folks a view of what this job is actually like. Here is my rundown of my recent trip w @SenatorShaheen and @senrobportman to Ukraine and Lithuania. https://t.co/dfGUsZFmP1 — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

FYI for me, an infrastructure bill that doesn't fix the broken northeast rail corridor isn't worth doing. It shouldn't take 7 hours to get from Boston to DC and this is our one chance to speed up service along a corridor that represents 18% of U.S. GDP. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

I’m going to be live this afternoon with ⁦@JayBilas⁩ to talk about NCAA reform and collective bargaining. Check it out. https://t.co/TZlj7eA3Ly — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

This is extraordinary. A 28 point improvement in the world’s view of America. When America’s global reputation is high, it benefits both our economy and our security. https://t.co/vLSkIhSoWT — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Yesterday in the Appropriations Committee, I reminded HHS Sec. Becerra that increased ACA subsidies without a public option risk increasing prices and health industry profit taking. That's why Senator Merkley and I have introduced the Choose Medicare Act. https://t.co/tX0ko2G4ME — PolitiTweet.org

“America’s power is the example you set,” a Yemeni activist told me last month. With this initiative, Biden is recasting the idea - abandoned by Trump - that America can offer the world big solutions to big problems. https://t.co/W2mhzPCD2V — PolitiTweet.org

This is amazing. The Republicans are apparently going to run against Democrats based on the fact that wages for regular people are increasing. https://t.co/NUpTxYrTtZ — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

I don't remember it that way, but it's true we haven't been able to get to a proposal that moves the needle. But the good news is that discussions continue with other Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Notable. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Well sure. But that’s the point. That super rich people have apples (largely untaxed wealth that can passed down, also largely untaxed, to heirs) and regular people have oranges (taxable income and no inheritance to leave). — PolitiTweet.org
