Federal taxpayer dollars shouldn't subsidize the beating of our kids. Period. Stop. That's why @RepMcEachin and I introduced legislation banning corporal punishment in schools and instead, giving grants to schools to build positive, non-violent cultures. https://t.co/bY6iWKuTB4 — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans see government as a vehicle to transfer wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich. So they get really, really angry when Democrats use government to do things to help regular people, like cut the cost of drugs or reduce student loans. — PolitiTweet.org

This idea that “Iran is dangerous so we shouldn’t make it harder for them to get a nuclear weapon” doesn’t seem super well thought out. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

We tried Republicans’ Iran strategy from 2017-2021. What did we get? - Iran’s breakout time went from a year to 2 weeks - Iran restarted attacks on our Middle East troops - Iran increased support for regional proxy forces EVERYTHING got worse. Why would we listen to them now? — PolitiTweet.org

DeSantis is all about indoctrination. He wants to indoctrinate kids with the belief that heterosexuality is normal and homosexuality is abnormal. Books about straight people aren't coming off the shelves; only books with gay characters. https://t.co/DcRe5kQIyM — PolitiTweet.org

Wrapping up a five day trip with @RepChuyGarcia and @CoriBush to Colombia, Mexico City, and the Mexican state of Tobasco. Focused on drug and gun trafficking, climate change, and migration. A great, important trip. https://t.co/tofrNKnPyE — PolitiTweet.org

While in southern Mexico we stopped in to meet with Tabasco Governor Merino Campos. We talked about migration, methane leakage from local oil and gas production, drug and gun trafficking, and economic development. https://t.co/DeDdmU6tWx — PolitiTweet.org

I’m at Mexico’s southern border today, talking to migrants and those who help migrants. I met Vany and her four young kids. She told us how they fled their small Honduras town when a crime gang took over the town and told her she had three choices: pay them, die, or leave. https://t.co/kfD1zmXEQN — PolitiTweet.org

It was was really important for our delegation to meet with human rights groups (Article 19, Serapaz, Centro Prodh, Movement for our Disappeared) here in Mexico. The U.S. needs to remain a partner on the high levels of violence here - particularly against women and journalists. https://t.co/cbvO3yeyph — PolitiTweet.org

These guys are panicking. Trying to outright grift their positions on abortion (just for the last 90 days of the campaign) and hoping nobody notices. — PolitiTweet.org

If President Biden believed this strike was essential to protect our troops, I trust him. But yes, I also believe our military presence is too thinly spread in the Middle East. Last year, I wrote this about the need for a new Gulf security policy: https://t.co/fMvMAXHI1L — PolitiTweet.org

Big press turnout to hear about our delegation’s meetings here in Mexico City. Here is @RepChuyGarcia addressing the crowd. https://t.co/iouZBeuogS — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Interesting note: leaders here in Mexico City know all about the Safer Communities Act. In particular, they are very excited about the new federal ban on gun trafficking and straw purchasing. This a major new tool to stop the flow of illegal guns from the U.S. to Mexico. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Our delegation just finished a good meeting with Mexican Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard. We pressed him for more cooperation on attacking the fentanyl trade. He pushed us for more anti gun trafficking resources north of the border. https://t.co/WOLIDm2zMC — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

I’m in Mexico City today to talk about many issues, but three at the top of the list: 1/ stopping flow of fentanyl from Mexico to the U.S. 2/ stop the flow of guns from the U.S. to Mexico 3/ working together to address migration issues — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Colombian university @UExternado for hosting me @RepCori and @RepChuyGarcia for a discussion on 200 years of U.S.-Colombia relations. https://t.co/EM9xmDCEkW — PolitiTweet.org

Iran is a malevolent actor. They support terrorism. They target Americans. This isn’t a argument against the nuclear deal. It’s an argument FOR the deal. Why would we choose to pursue a policy that makes a nation as dangerous as Iran a nuclear weapons power? — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Great to spend time with you, Madam Vice President. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

How can anyone come to the conclusion that America is safer without the Iran nuclear deal? Since Trump blew it up, Iran’s breakout time to a bomb has gone from a year to weeks. WEEKS. Restarting the deal is the only way to change this catastrophic reality. — PolitiTweet.org
