If the GOP wins the House, Ukraine funding may be done. Why? The right wing of the party is already openly hostile to Ukraine aid, plus the general legislative dystopia that will accompany a GOP majority will gum up everything. https://t.co/sjNVF7Yux3 — PolitiTweet.org

So here are a few things on the chopping block if Republicans win this November: Marriage equality Abortion rights Caps on prescription drug costs Secure elections How do we stop them?

Chatted with @BuffyWicks while I was in California about her efforts to protect kids online. In Connecticut, I sense a great frustration from parents that democracy doesn't seem up to the task of addressing internet safety. https://t.co/GKSI94W7li — PolitiTweet.org

Phelim, I'm a fan, and very excited to join you on 9/28. I believe there is a way to strengthen Taiwan without throwing out decades of mostly successful policy. Lots to discuss. — PolitiTweet.org

@mmasnick Great! Look forward to it. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

@mmasnick So I DO think we should have an honest conversation of the right way to regulate tech. But where in that thread do I make the argument for regulation? — PolitiTweet.org

I agree. But the world had a long long time to adjust to the printing press before the next massively disrupting technology came along. Not so today. — PolitiTweet.org

7/ Everyone I met was sincere and I do think there is a genuine desire of many of these innovators to do good. But today, it feels like we work for technology, instead of technology working for us. This needs to change. Fast. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

6/ Finally, it's clear that there is still no way for the social media companies to police themselves into responsible behavior. The algorithms are too opaque, the platforms are too intentionally addictive, the protections for kids are too weak. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

5/ Also a lack of acknowledgement here that the last 25 years of technological change has been uniquely dislocating. For instance, EVERY SINGLE leader I met w compared social media to the printing press, arguing that every big new technology is met with early naïve skepticism. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

4/ What I found in my meetings is a view of innovation and increased connectivity as a near universal net good. Feels like a bit of a innovation hamster wheel. Not enough leaders seriously asking - does the innovation actually increase citizens' happiness? — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

3/ But for many, tech now overwhelms and vexes us, addicting our children to screens, funneling users into information silos, elevating the most extreme voices, and consolidating power and wealth into the select expert elites who know how manipulate the technology. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

2/ I feel from my constituents an increasingly distrust of and exhaustion with technology. Technology promised to make our lives easier, help us build more fulfilling personal connections, and give us access to new economic opportunities. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Finishing a trip to San Fran/Silicon Valley. Met with many smart and thoughtful tech leaders. But there's still a big disconnect between how average Americans think about technology vs. how the industry views tech. It's a dangerous divide. 1/ A few thoughts from the trip. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Good morning. If Republicans win this fall they are going to pass a national abortion ban, eliminate the $2,000 Medicare cap on drug prices, and put a sunset on Social Security. You know why I know this? Because they keep telling us. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the 1,650 donors who raised $70,000 for @CortezMasto and the Nevada Senate race yesterday! That’s a big number. Dems can’t hold the Senate without Nevada. cc @brianschatz @CoryBooker @jonfavs @ewarren @JasonKander — PolitiTweet.org

So great to be in San Francisco today with @GabbyGiffords and @GiffordsCourage to talk about the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Hundreds of donors and activists on hand to celebrate our big victory for gun safety. https://t.co/Ks5JMvYp9J — PolitiTweet.org
