Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day. I will be in Norwalk, Darien and Fairfield today taking part in ceremonies to honor those that gave their lives in defense of our country. Everyday I’m so so grateful for all those that serve, but especially today. https://t.co/nwWaPkWBwD — PolitiTweet.org

So this is the problem. Just 15 years ago, the Senate voted to extend the voting rights act 98-0. It included the provisions that were struck down by the Supreme Court - provisions that now would be opposed by almost every Senate Republican. https://t.co/1HtdoutDDI — PolitiTweet.org

Good morning. My workplace was violently attacked by a mob of thousands. They came to kill some of us. We had to flee to save our lives. The building was trashed. People died. And half my coworkers want to sweep it under the rug, which is weird and kinda makes me suspicious. — PolitiTweet.org

But it’s not the guns or a fetishization of guns that drives any of this. Right? — PolitiTweet.org

So how did we lose a 54-35 vote on the January 6 commission? Because you need 60 votes, no matter how many people show. So it’s the OPPOSITE of a traditional filibuster. If you oppose the bill, you don’t even have to be in town. #reform — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks for the update, Tim. Eager to join you again soon in the region. — PolitiTweet.org

It is MAJOR! I meet so many people in Connecticut who have had to leave their job or cut back hours to care for a relative. They should not be punished by Social Security for this! — PolitiTweet.org

So this is big news for Connecticut and the economy of the northeast. An additional tunnel under the Hudson will greatly decrease travel time from CT to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and DC. Now it's my job as an Appropriator to get it funded. — PolitiTweet.org

Over the course of the last two weeks, and especially during the last 24 hours of obstruction, the Democrats became the serious party on competing with China. Republicans talk and complain. Democrats act. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

While I was in the chair overnight, one unhappy Republican Senator complained 1) the China bill was too big to understand in such a short period of time; and 2) Senators should be able to offer any amendment of any length they want and have it voted on in 5 minutes. Huh. — PolitiTweet.org

Bipartisan talks on background checks continue. But frankly, it's a little nuts that we need to be negotiating on a proposal that is supported by 90% of the American public. I'm open to a compromise, but it's got to be good enough to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Give this a watch pls. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

This is correct. The components of the American Jobs Plan are classic investments. They pay off over the course of years, in increased jobs, production, tax revenue. It makes TOTAL sense to pay for the investment over time instead of up front. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Wait a minute. Big time college athletes often are forced to spend 40 hours a week on the field. They get paid in exchange for performance with scholarships and stipends. Those rewards are withdrawn if the athlete stops working. How on earth is that not an employee?? — PolitiTweet.org
