Leaving the Capitol as a light mist falls. What we just passed isn’t perfect. Far from it. But it will save a lot of lives. It will give us a chance to turn the corner. And as I depart, I’m deeply thankful to the people of Connecticut that I get to do this job. https://t.co/PIsM9CNgjj — PolitiTweet.org

My friend Miguel Cardona is everything you would want in a Secretary of Education. A classroom teacher, a fighter for educational equity, a consensus builder. He has risen quickly through the ranks for a reason. — PolitiTweet.org

And yet another win for CT in the budget/COVID relief bill: $5 million more of federal funding (for a total of $20m total) to plan and build the Coast Guard Museum in New London. The museum is going to be an economic generator for decades for SE CT. — PolitiTweet.org

Another win for CT in the budget/COVID relief bill: 12 years ago Congress mandated Plum Island, in Long Island Sound, be sold to the highest bidder. It was a terrible idea and I’ve been fighting for 10 years to end the sale and conserve the island. This bill cancels this sale. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
I'll keep posting on the wins for CT in this bill. But on all of it - Amtrak and Long Island Sound funding, Hartford courthouse, etc - it was a team effort. @rosadelauro is the QB, and big lifts from @SenBlumenthal @RepJohnLarson @RepJoeCourtney @jahimes @RepJahanaHayes. — PolitiTweet.org

A big win for mental health and addiction in the fine print of the budget/COVID bill. The Mental Health Parity Compliance Act (written by me and @BillCassidy) is included. It cracks down on insurers who refuse to pay for mental health/addiction treatment. https://t.co/7R0vUZiWpM — PolitiTweet.org

The budget/COVID bill includes $135 million for a new federal courthouse in Hartford. This is a big deal. Judges, jurors, and parties will be safer, and justice will move faster, in this new space. Lots of construction jobs too. https://t.co/CcPC8aJoBv — PolitiTweet.org

More details from the budget/COVID package: One of the reasons I went on the Appropriations Committee was to win more funding to clean up Long Island Sound. In 2016 we got $4M. This budget: $30.4M (a 50% increase from last year btw). Big win for CT. https://t.co/EBhPjugEG0 — PolitiTweet.org

Labeling the Houthis a terrorist group would condemn thousands to death in Yemen bc humanitarian groups would have to suspend operations there. That's why @SenToddYoung @ChrisCoons and I formed a bipartisan coalition to stop this move. https://t.co/8XVu5PDs8u — PolitiTweet.org

In July, I organized an effort to push for Amtrak-specific funding in any COVID relief bill. CT's economy relies on Amtrak and emergency funding is needed in order to restore full service post-COVID Good news: the COVID bill has $1 billion for Amtrak. https://t.co/cD333zPQqo — PolitiTweet.org

When a big bill like this comes together, your job as a lawmaker is to try to get as many of your legislative and funding priorities into the text as possible. Throughout the day, I'm going to explain the provisions in the omnibus budget/COVID relief bill that I led. — PolitiTweet.org

If Dems controlled the Senate, the payment would be more than $600. BUT...Twitter seems to think there’s nothing else in the bill. There is. Like $25 billion of “rental assistance”. Or $1600/month for those who’ve exhausted UI. Or a 15% increase in SNAP benefits. Etc, etc, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

This is so tragic. It is also more proof that the Trump/Pompeo “maximum pressure” did nothing except restart Iran’s nuclear program, increase Iran’s control of proxies, and restart attacks on US troops and allies. — PolitiTweet.org

If Democrats controlled the Senate: - the cash payments would be $1200 not $600 - there would be $175 billion, not $25 billion, to help people pay the rent - there would be flexible money for states and cities and bonus checks for frontline workers Let’s win Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of progress last night on a major COVID deal. Extended unemployment comp, cash payments, money for small biz and vaccine distribution. Looks like Republicans have dropped their demands to include unrelated massive Federal Reserve reform in the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

The vaccine is safe, effective and it’s going to save lives. Following guidance from the Office of the Attending Physician, I got the first of two doses today, and I encourage everyone in CT to get vaccinated. (and even though I look pretty mad in this pic, FYI it didn’t hurt!) https://t.co/TmSmYEoTny — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
Constraining the powers of the Federal Reserve is NOT a small issue. It should NOT be jammed thru on a COVID relief bill. We count on the Fed’s emergency powers to get us through economic crises. To limit these powers risks a ton of jobs and lives if another crisis hits in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
Nothing has changed here. We could have a $900 billion, life saving deal in an hour but the Republicans are still insisting on a massive change in Federal Reserve powers. Their demand is unrelated to emergency COVID relief - it’s just about trying to sabatoge a Biden presidency. — PolitiTweet.org
