Read this. Then decide if the Senate should do nothing. “One of the children fell on Miah’s chest as she lay on the ground, Terrified he would return to her classroom, Miah took the blood of a classmate who fell dead and rubbed it all over herself. Then she played dead.” — PolitiTweet.org

I’m begging my colleagues. Work with us. Do not accept this as the new normal. Do not accept that we are powerless to change this. https://t.co/ns8pkz4QYx — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Right. We just heavily regulated them. For instance, we made a list of people who were banned from flying on planes bc they were too dangerous, and applied it universally, regardless of whether you bought your plane ticket in person or on line. — PolitiTweet.org

Only in America can a troubled teenager, showing all sorts of warning signs, get his hands on high powered semi-automatic rifles and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition. NO OTHER NATION ALLOWS THIS TO HAPPEN. — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t lose your sense of outrage. None of this is normal. None of this is acceptable. And most importantly, none of this is inevitable. We can do something about it. — PolitiTweet.org

So proud of my intern (and major activist) @SariKaufman11 for speaking truth to power today at the @MomsDemand rally. Sari is a former Parkland student and a strong youth voice for change. https://t.co/vmEtS8ZC28 — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks for the chat today, Maria. We have no choice but to succeed. Lives depend on it. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm never giving up, Erica, because I know you're never giving up. Your mother should be alive today, and though nothing we can do will bring her back, we can change this country. That's what she'd want us to do. — PolitiTweet.org

True story. Let’s get a deal. But if we don’t, we have to take a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Parents and kids are frightened. Frightened that schools aren’t safe. And frightened that the adults who run the country don’t care. We can’t let them down. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks friend. With your help, we worked hard today to try to build a table where Democrats and Republicans can talk about a path forward. Odds are against us, but we owe it to parents and kids to try. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

I’ve been off this medium today. It’s only because I’ve been working non stop to try to find a path forward on gun violence legislation. Here’s an update on where we’re at as of 10:30pm. https://t.co/dgrM2BdHEq — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

The plan is to work hard at a compromise for the next 10 days. Hopefully we succeed and the Senate can vote on a bipartisan bill that saves lives. But if we can’t find common ground, then we are going to take a vote on gun violence. The Senate will not ignore this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Imagine being 9 years old, and watching your friend get shot through the nose and collapse dead in front of you. The headline, for good reason, is the number of kids dead. But a huge part of the story, in shooting after shooting, is the lifetime of trauma for the survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm sorry to keep passing news like this along, but having been present for one of these nights, I just want you all to understand what is happening right now, as the bodies are being identified. It's f-ing awful, and it's just our choice whether we want this to continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

As we look for solutions, this is important. Because over and over - from Parkland to El Paso to Dayton to Uvalde - armed personnel on site couldn't stop mass shooters who only needed minutes for mass slaughter. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

The part you often don't see - the grisly process of identifying the bodies in a mass shooting - is as horrific as it sounds. And the horror is x100 when those bodies are 2nd and 3rd and 4th graders. This is our choice - to keep forcing parents to go through this. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Listen, I'm full of sadness and fury right now. That's what you're seeing here. But I'm also determined. And pragmatic. If there is a single of my GOP colleagues who is moved to action by what happened today, I am ready to work with you. I am ready to compromise. To save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Oh my god. I’m shaking. I’m just shaking all over. With fear. With anger. With resolve. — PolitiTweet.org
