RT @APjoshgoodman: In scathing criticism, @ChrisMurphyCT calls US policy toward Venezuela an "unmitigated disaster" and @jguaido an "Americ… — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
10/ It’s a total disaster. After a year and a half, Maduro is stronger, American influence is weaker, and there is no viable path to restore democracy in Venezuela. A case study in international relations malpractice. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
9/ Now, having wasted a year trying to work on a transition plan, Guaido is boycotting the upcoming legislative elections. So what then? Keep recognizing Guaido as the nation’s leader, even if he doesn’t control the military, the government, or even hold office? — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
8/ Since then, it’s been a running comedy of errors. For instance, Bolton scuttled promising transition talks led by Norway in August 2019 saying “the time for negotiations is over!” Then this March, Pompeo unveiled a transition plan that is a carbon copy of the one we killed. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
7/ Then, it got real embarrassing. In April 2019, we tried to organize a kind of coup, but it became a debacle. Everyone who told us they’d rally to Guaido got cold feet and the plan failed publicly and spectacularly, making America look foolish and weak. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
6/ In fact, the opposite happened. By putting Elliot Abrams (the symbol of “American imperialism” in Latin America) in charge of Venezuela, and by acting largely alone, Trump helped Maduro rally the military and much of the country against America and cast Guaido as a U.S. pawn. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
5/ Then, Trump and his Latin America hawks got itchy. He recognized Guaido as the leader of the nation, thinking that would propel Venezuelans (and Maduro-friendly military leaders) to Guaido’s side. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
4/ But Trump couldn’t talk to Cuba (bc Obama), Putin had Trump wrapped around his finger, and all Trump wanted to talk to China about was the trade deal. So we made no meaningful effort to move them, and all three stood solidly behind Maduro. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
3/ The winning play was right in front of us – bring together all of Latin America behind a transition or new, free elections, and take the time to work with or neutralize Maduro’s patrons (Russia, Cuba, and to a lesser extent China). — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
2/ In early 2019, an opportunity presented itself. Maduro’s reelection was a fraud, and the world knew it. The charismatic opposition leader, Juan Guaido, stood ready to capitalize and restore democracy to the nation. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
1/ Today, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee holds a hearing on the Trump Administration’s Venezuela policy. Short story – it’s been a case study in diplomatic malpractice, and I want to tell you the quick story of how Trump’s bungling has empowered a brutal dictator. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
Ahead of tomorrow's Senate hearing on Venezuela, here's my Jan '19 op-ed with @brhodes arguing the danger of recognizing Guaido, threatening war, and acting unilaterally. Promoting democracy in Venezuela is a noble aim - Trump just screwed it up royally. https://t.co/GhChuwSPCu — PolitiTweet.org

I attended the briefing today by @ODNIgov regarding foreign-based election interference. I remain very concerned information is being withheld from the public that could help voters distinguish legitimate political speech from foreign propaganda. — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 50K students across CT lack a computer or other device and nearly 29K don't have internet access. As we figure out what school will look like this fall, closing the digital divide is critical to making sure that these kids don't get left behind. https://t.co/dwDhGtNJHN — PolitiTweet.org

My kids got me Doritos for my birthday. My neighbor got me a variety pack of Red Bull. I feel like this might not be a lifestyle that will guarantee me a second 47 years. https://t.co/G5ZpR2ikCV — PolitiTweet.org

I didn't say it was their "only purpose". Obviously these kids love the game and most love their school and coach. But that has nothing to do with whether they should get paid. And turning back on the $14 billion spigot IS a big part of the reason college sports is returning. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm a huge sports fan. I want college football to come back if it's safe. But COVID has exposed a civil rights crisis in big time college sports: unpaid kids - mostly of color - risking their lives to make millions for adults - mostly white. This needs to change. NOW. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
Pro athletes are paid well to risk their lives in the middle of a pandemic that has killed 150,000. But 19 yr old college kids GET NOTHING, but are playing football primarily so that adults (coaches, ADs, sports industry execs) can make their millions. https://t.co/vTGdRshgN6 — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
Unpaid UMich football players are playing in the middle of a pandemic to assure their coach can get his $7.5 million salary. If Harbaugh made $1M instead, each player could get a $50K annual stipend to help their families pay for rent, health care, etc. https://t.co/0Iq60rFWHO — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
Here is Clemson's $55M practice facility. Has a plunge pool, mini golf course, arcade, bowling ally, etc. That $55M could have set up an endowment to give every player forever a $40K annual stipend to help their families pay for rent, health care, etc. https://t.co/Y82YGcfTfB — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
FYI PAC-10 Commissioner Larry Scott makes $5.3M. If the only reform was to make his salary $450K (still a top 1% salary), every PAC-10 football player could get an annual $5,000 stipend to help their families with rent, health care, food, etc. https://t.co/QUVaitr2lH — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
This is perhaps a watershed moment in college sports. PAC 12 football players are threatening to boycott the season unless their civil rights demands are met, including: 1. COVID protections 2. revenue sharing for athletes 3. guaranteed scholarships https://t.co/QUVaitr2lH — PolitiTweet.org

Parents are struggling to afford diapers, formula and wipes and diaper banks are stepping up to help. But they can't do it alone. @SenJoniErnst and I sent a biartisan letter calling for diaper bank funding in the next COVID relief package. https://t.co/V3fVrFrnqS — PolitiTweet.org
