Right now, CT learns how much vaccine we will get 6 days ahead of delivery, with no visibility on future weeks. This is a recipe for disaster. No state can build a distribution plan if it never has more than 6 days of supply visibility. This is the first thing Biden must fix. — PolitiTweet.org

Was at Yale this morning. They got 5,000 doses this week but they could easily distribute 3x. It’s time to invoke the Defense Production Act to ramp up vaccine production. — PolitiTweet.org

West Hartford is lucky have @fleetfeetweha, a great locally owned retailer. They told me today that the PPP program has been critical to their survival and they are grateful for the new legislation that restarts the grant program. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

At the end of the call, the President of the United States repeatedly asks for access to voter data that he knows is barred to him by law. He wants access to the data through a quiet, back door agreement. That's a big deal in and of itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

It's important to understand the context of the "Listen, all I want to do is this, I just want to find 11,780 votes" line. It comes 40 min into the call, after Raffensperger has destroyed each fraud claim, and right after Trump makes the reference to jail time. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

In the audiotape, Trump claims repeatedly that a 2020 settlement agreement bans the checking of signatures on absentee ballots and legalizes something he calls "ballot harvesting" Neither of these claims are true. Absentee ballots have to be signature checked in Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

In the tape Trump insists there are 4,500 illegal votes of people who left Georgia, registered in other states, and then moved back to Georgia, registered and voted. The Secretary of State's team politely explains that yes, sometimes people move away and then move back. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

On the phone call, Trump says there were 5,000 dead people who voted in Georgia. There were 2. When Raffensperger presses Trump on the 5,000 number, his crackpot lawyer says....get ready for this...that there are 5,000 voters who have the same name as someone who died recently. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

I'm listening to the whole phone call right now. It's sickening. He just lies and lies and lies. For instance, he insists that more people voted than are registered to vote in Detroit. I mean, he knows this is bonkers. He must. 670,000 people live in Detroit. 250,000 voted. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

@brianschatz Yes. And also the part where the most powerful man in the world tells the election officials that if he doesn’t recalculate the election results he’s taking “a big risk” and maybe going to jail. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not just that Trump’s Overturn the Election backers in Congress are empowering this particular behavior. Their endorsement of this destruction of democracy guarantees it will happen again. They are normalizing all this (at least within the GOP). https://t.co/cLDrf3vHoC — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

This is an audiotape of the President threatening criminal charges against an election official unless he “recalculates” the vote to “find 11,780” votes. And hundreds of Republicans in Congress (a dozen in the Senate) are cheering him on. Revolting. https://t.co/cLDrf3vHoC — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

I remember how scary the 2020 State of the Union speech felt. The maniacal euphoria for Trump from House Republicans was cult like. I had never seen it before in person. So it's not shocking to me that these folks are willing to burn down democracy and the Constitution for him. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

No President in American history has been better for Chinese interests than Donald Trump. This is the final proof. A China-EU trade deal that elevates Beijing and sidelines a weakened America. Biden has so much work to do. https://t.co/EoYHxsPW1u — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Warning - It’s a mistake to assume these Republicans who are trying to overthrow the election are doing it for “political” reasons. Many (maybe most) are actually fine to dispense with democracy if that’s what is necessary to keep Republicans in office. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Part of the grift is that if the electoral count isn’t certified, there is no “election fraud commission”, as Cruz et say they want. The Constitution requires the choice of President gets taken away from the voters and goes the Congress, one vote per state. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

If I believed my election was possibly fraudulent, I wouldn't get sworn in until such questions were resolved. Shouldn't the Senators alleging fraud who were elected in 2020 (Lummis, Marshall, Hagerty, Tuberville, Daines) wait to get sworn in until their concerns are addressed? — PolitiTweet.org

Russia was a democracy for a while before the party in charge used the rules at its disposal to turn it back into a one party rule state. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

These Senators’ underlying belief is that if a Democrat wins an election, it is illegitimate by definition. Even absent fraud. They don’t have the votes to overthrow democracy this time. But the precedent they set could, sooner than you think. https://t.co/oFVHE8hTvb — PolitiTweet.org
