The Illinois red flag law is hardly used. In fact, one single county, which made a commitment to learn it and implement it, accounts for 65% of state red flag orders. Our bill, passed two weeks ago, will send almost a billion dollars to states to improve their red flag laws. — PolitiTweet.org

About to go live from a remote truck on the Litchfield green w @andersoncooper on @CNN I hope he explains to his audience why I’m in a tshirt and baseball cap. #WalkCT — PolitiTweet.org

There are some parts of this walk that are…well, just walking. #WalkCT https://t.co/er0OdlXp5A — PolitiTweet.org

A great town hall meeting tonight in Litchfield. And a surprise guest - @JahanaHayesCT! It was perfect - when she was speaking I got to sit down and rest. What a team. https://t.co/FPMKftH1yY — PolitiTweet.org

I’m running a bit late for my town hall in Litchfield tonight (still a mile walk to the Community Center) and I got waylaid at the Litchfield Candy Company. Dammit! #WalkCT https://t.co/yHyW3kQmvV — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

A lot of good things going on in Litchfield. Two new hotels coming. Restaurants doing brisk business. On the flip side, I am hearing a lot about the bears. Lots of bears causing trouble up here. #WalkCT https://t.co/3E1htb0zdx — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the staff and students at Connecticut Junior Republic for hosting me today as I walked by campus on my walk across the state. Thanks for all you do to help juvenile court involved kids get back on the right track. https://t.co/YqkgV9IrLu — PolitiTweet.org

People often find me along the route and join me for a stretch of my walk. Bill wanted to talk about getting more FBI help on a cold case involving his sister’s 1986 murder. Will (Yanks cap) is a MSNBC digital producer who moved his family to CT during the pandemic. #WalkCT https://t.co/FgPyI7nXlR — PolitiTweet.org

Grabbed lunch with Goshen Republican First Selectman Todd Carusillo at Nodine’s Smokehouse. We talked about the affordability crisis facing young families today. Between rising housing prices and giant student loans, it’s harder than ever to afford to start a family. https://t.co/Sv3GTFf6TS — PolitiTweet.org

Connecticut is dotted with really old cemeteries, filled with history. In Goshen I found two of my relatives (my grandmother was a Griswold). Louisa Griswold died in 1831 at age 6. Her mother died a year later at age 32. A reminder of how tough life was in early America. #WalkCT https://t.co/GyPCX4NPNg — PolitiTweet.org

Stopped in to meet tonight the team at Stonehill Kennel. Got the sense they aren’t big fans of Democrats but we had a good chat. Chris and his wife just returned from Mexico and he talked about how the same “kitchen table” issues matter to everyone. “People are people”, he says. https://t.co/IDWU2THOVm — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of people think Connecticut is just one big New York suburb. It isn’t. Come up and check out Litchfield County. Great fishing and hiking. Gorgeous lakes. Even honor code art galleries and bison meat! And that’s just what I’ve passed in the last 30 minutes. #WalkCT https://t.co/E6RzSwPBSq — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

A nice surprise. Connie and Paul met up with me to walk with me up a portion of the big hill. Our conversation about environmental stewardship in northwest Connecticut was a nice distraction from my aching legs. #WalkCT https://t.co/Mp4OFBB1ik — PolitiTweet.org

Starting Day 2 of the walk in Cornwall. A 450 foot hill awaits me to start the day! #WalkCT https://t.co/v2KArysiJe — PolitiTweet.org

In the idyllic small town of Falls Village, downtown is making a comeback thanks to first generation immigrants. Hungarian immigrants opened a new cafe. Yemeni immigrants are keeping alive the sole gas station. This July 4th let’s celebrate the immigrants who make America great. https://t.co/A2Qiy8sJWC — PolitiTweet.org

Day 1 of my annual Walk Across Connecticut (4th of July!) is in the books. Did some kayaking. Hit the Appalachian Trail. Heard from people about every topic from gas prices to wastewater treatment to electric bikes. About 20 miles by river and road. #WalkCT https://t.co/2zpe9hFmEz — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

My long time friend, Cornwall farmer/First Selectman Gordon Ridgeway found me along my route and brought me some squash and maple syrup from his farm! #WalkCT https://t.co/bFnqvmx4Cm — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

4 miles of kayaking and 15 miles of walking and you come to a intersection like this and you REALLY hope that your route is the flat one to the right and then you find out you’re going up the friggin giant hill to the left. #WalkCT https://t.co/UQUjnKeZ6D — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

In an era of nonstop mass murder, the world gets small. Along my walk, in the tiny town of West Cornwall, I met two couples visiting from suburban Chicago. They live near the parade route. One friend was shot in the foot. Another heard a bullet whiz by his ear. #WalkCT https://t.co/InjbojMQh2 — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Met a nice couple from Fairfield who are staying at the beautiful Mayflower Inn for her birthday and spending the day learning to fly fish (so far she’s caught the biggest fish). A reminder that there is no better weekend getaway than Litchfield County. https://t.co/wVaBtPqyJr — PolitiTweet.org
