Thanks to Thomas Merton House in Bridgeport for all they've done to feed the hungry during the pandemic. Demand for food is up 3x at their site. Thanks for showing me and @jahimes around today. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the letter @SenGillibrand @MartinHeinrich and I sent to the Acting Sec. of Defense today. On Jan 6 it took 4.5 hours before the U.S. military arrived to defend the Capitol. That is not acceptable and we request a full accounting of what needs to change. https://t.co/XZKiOqbA4R — PolitiTweet.org

I have had phone calls today with the State Police and the CT FBI field office. They are working to bring to justice any CT residents who (1) were part of the January 6 riot or (2) are planning any similar seditious acts leading up to inauguration (in or outside our state). — PolitiTweet.org

The designation of the Houthis as a terrorist organization is a death sentence for thousands of Yemenis. It will cut off humanitarian aid, make peace talks nearly impossible, and empower Iran. Biden should reverse this policy on day one. https://t.co/aHTo04KwGO — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Burns is an inspired choice. Experienced, level headed, and brilliant, he knows the ways in which the CIA, properly used, can protect the nation, but also the ways in which improperly used, covert action can add fuel to security threats. — PolitiTweet.org

Politics in America is so broken that many conservatives now feel the need to rationalize the coup/oppose accountability simply bc Democrats oppose the coup/want accountability. It’s actually ok for us ALL to be against insurrection and for holding everyone accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

The number of Twitter followers you have is not the most important thing right now. Sincerely, a Senator who was targeted for assassination last week — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

The Senators who led the attempted overthrow are going on the shows of the people who cheered the overthrow to call for unity. Unreal. The last thing I want to do is spend the next two weeks on impeachment. But the insurrection isn’t over and Trump is still leading it. — PolitiTweet.org

Parkville Market update. I got the Chompers chicken parm balls (excelllent), fam got Hartford Poke Co. bowls (always tasty), Mercado 27 fried rice (amazing), empanadas from Gula Grill (super) and, as always, brussel sprouts from Twisted Italian. If you haven’t been, why not?? https://t.co/qIFPssgmt2 — PolitiTweet.org

The level of denial about what just happened - and what is still happening - in the country right now is simply mind blowing. — PolitiTweet.org

Fine. Twitter should take crap like this down too. But that’s like Hall of Fame False Equivalency. Kathy Griffin does not have a cult of followers who just ransacked the U.S. Capitol, killed 5 people, and is planning a second, imminent insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Every single one of the 12 Senators who created false hopes that this mob could stop Joe Biden from becoming President bears responsibility for this. But unconscionably, Sen. Hawley was the only one to continue to object and force votes AFTER the assault - after 4 people died. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

I don't care how hard this is to watch, every American needs to see what happened. How savage this attack was. And how many officers acted supremely bravely in the face of this coordinated assault. — PolitiTweet.org

Please. It takes 10 minutes to give this a look. You might think you know your neighbors or coworkers, but you never know... — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

This is what they were talking about leading up to the assault. And that's why we have to take so seriously the likelihood that Trump will incite another insurrection. https://t.co/qVbSRVXInt — PolitiTweet.org

Few people know his name, but Michael Pack will go down as one of the absolute worst, most corrupt of the Trump Administration. Some Senators wondered why @SenatorMenendez fought his nomination so hard. This is why. https://t.co/7WmzIUhKBO — PolitiTweet.org

"Walk down to the Capitol," he implored the crowd armed with guns, IEDs and zip ties. "You will neve take back our country with weakness," he shouted as they readied to depart. "TRUMP GAVE YOU AN ORDER STORM THE CAPITOL NOW.” wrote a commenter on one protester's livestream. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Yes. And it took the military 4 hours after the initial breach to get anyone to the Capitol. 4 HOURS. What’s the point of having a military if they can’t defend the freaking Capitol building from attack? — PolitiTweet.org
