Two weeks ago, Saudi Arabia sentenced a 72 year old American citizen to 16 years in jail for tweets critical of the regime he sent while in America. This week, the Saudis partnered with Elon Musk to buy Twitter. Do you think the Saudis bought it to promote free speech? https://t.co/DAHOvG8iuE — PolitiTweet.org

A key tenet of the new right - and its connected conspiracy movements - is a belief that the left is an existential threat to the nation, and any means is justified to eliminate it. The intellectual leaders of the new right might not intend violence, but it is a knowable result. — PolitiTweet.org

100,000 jobs!!!! This is great news. As head of the U.S.-Poland Cacuus, I was in Warsaw a few weeks ago with Biden officials to meet with Morawiecki on this critical job creating partnership between the U.S. and Poland. — PolitiTweet.org

Wisconsin is fired up that @BarackObama is coming to Milwaukee tonight. But my day here is done. Finished up in Waukesha for a campaign stop with @GovEvers. Thanks to @tammybaldwin for being my traveling partner today. Go Wisconsin Dems! https://t.co/9X9KvsnRb9 — PolitiTweet.org

So fun to get to introduce @BradleyWhitford to a HUGE door knocking crowd in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Bradley is a Wisconsin native, but I reminded him that Josh Lyman was a CONNECTICUT native. https://t.co/gY7rD4BFpm — PolitiTweet.org

Everywhere I went today in Michigan I saw red shirted @MomsDemand activists hitting the campaign trail. I also met with students starting a new @AMarch4OurLives chapter at Michigan State. The anti-gun violence movement is powerful!! https://t.co/qsmqpGqJ91 — PolitiTweet.org

Great to join @gretchenwhitmer and @dankildee in Flint today. Everything from school safety to choice to democracy itself is on the ballot here in Michigan. Super good energy here. https://t.co/jhu9cRvbAp — PolitiTweet.org

Spent some time today with @ElissaSlotkin at @michiganstateu registering college students to vote. Elissa is a key partner with me on many national security issues. Need her back in the House. https://t.co/P54RslzZM5 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m on the road in Michigan today! Started the day with a HUGE turnout for a @HillaryScholten canvass in Grand Rapids. And at 10am on a weekday! Amazing energy here. Thanks to the @MomsDemand crowd to turning out. https://t.co/ny63cGxOWj — PolitiTweet.org

7/ Once he had the gun, his family knew it had to go. They called police, but the police couldn't confiscate the gun because Missouri has no red flag law. The police gave to the gun to a family friend but not confiscated. The kid got the gun back. https://t.co/fIM2RejZsf — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

5/ It's possible his mental health records disqualified him from buying a gun, but in Missouri, you don't go through a background check if you buy a gun from a private seller. So it's easy for anyone - even people with mental illness or a criminal history - to get a gun. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

4/ This shooter was very ill. His family got him help, even in-patient care. They opened his mail, regularly searched his room. They were worried he would hurt someone. It's not clear yet how he got the gun, but Missouri allows teenagers to buy AR-15s w/o parental notification. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

3/ This was the heyday of NRA power. The Republican Governor welcomed the NRA to down by repealing the state's tough gun laws. From 2008-12, U.S. gun murders were declining. But in Missouri, after the gun laws were relaxed, gun murder SKYROCKETED by 35%. https://t.co/Iv6Ma37EJa — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

2/ First, it's interesting to note that Missouri used to have VERY tough gun laws. Up until the 2000s, the state had universal background checks, rigorous permitting laws, restrictions on concealed carry. Then, the NRA scheduled their 2007 convention for St. Louis. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

He was treated for mental illness. The family called police when he started acting out. The school locked the doors. None of it stopped this. Why? Because Missouri has some of the loosest gun laws in the nation. 1/ It's a story you need to hear. https://t.co/P841pY0dsc — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

When world leaders say "America is back", this is an example of what they mean. The primary credit goes to Israeli and Lebanese leaders, but this deal was brokered by Biden's team. It's a big deal. A step forward for political stability and economic prosperity in the region. — PolitiTweet.org
