I will be on @TheSundayShow with @CapehartJ at 10:15 to talk about the shooting in Buffalo and why the normalization of racism and the normalization of mass violence in this country should frighten the hell out of all of us. And what we need to do about it. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Yes. 80% of Republicans would support both of these common sense changes. — PolitiTweet.org

To my do-nothing colleagues: Your “thoughts” should be about what you are going to do to end this slaughter. Your “prayers” should be for your own salvation - if you choose to sit on your hands - again - and let people die. https://t.co/qm7W5bMBGn — PolitiTweet.org

Hey everyone - there's a hate crime killer on the loose in Dallas. Targeting Asian Americans in random shootings. Think this happens in other countries? Nope. Just here. Because day after day our government chooses to do nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

You know what doesn't happen in any other high income nation? A pregnant women is shot and then delivers her baby minutes before she dies. That doesn't happen ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE. It's just disgusting that our country chooses to live like this. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

If 17 people were shot outside a major sporting event in ANY OTHER COUNTRY, it would be constant headlines. I scanned the major news websites. Barely a mention of this. WTF is going on in our country that we've allowed this to be normal. — PolitiTweet.org

The only qualification that matters now in the Republican party is whether you want to turn America into a Soviet-style autocracy where one party rules and elections don't count. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s Republican Party is so sadly adrift and bereft of ideas that the only thing they can coalesce around is to call anyone they disagree with a child molester. It’s like their one big idea. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Thanks to all who attended my round table in Norwalk to discuss my bipartisan mental health reform act that I just introduced with @BillCassidy. The space we used will soon be a new mental health clinic - funded by a federal grant championed by me @SenBlumenthal and @jahimes. https://t.co/NeHOkWiTLo — PolitiTweet.org

Update: I haven’t heard any credible explanation why this level of force was used on these mourners. What happened is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

I did a listening session today with small business owners in east Bridgeport. They need more biz-to-biz opportunities, more relevant worker training, and more help for small construction contractors. https://t.co/haOnbnVSxy — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Yes! Read this article to see if you qualify for the new federal mortgage assistance program. I was in Bridgeport today with Mayor @joeganim to talk it up. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

I like to sit down with mayors and their top team to do planning sessions on how the federal government can help get things done in town. This morning I was in East Haven w Mayor Joe Cafora. https://t.co/himqmCdEGp — PolitiTweet.org

Hartford’s Parkville Market is on fire tonight. Live music. Great food. I picked up a half grinder from Twisted Italian and some crispy brussel sprouts from Fowl Play. https://t.co/rzHNTqabvf — PolitiTweet.org

Update: Republicans blocked passage of the bill this week, no doubt egged on by Trumpworld’s online pro-Putin push. It will pass next week, but the delay could cost lives. — PolitiTweet.org

@brianschatz @JasonKander I’m still despondent from last night. I’ve already conceded Game 6 to Giannis. No Game 7. We’re done and dusted. Nobody can beat him. He’s going to win every playoff series for eternity etc etc — PolitiTweet.org

How did you know?? I am indeed on a plane, waiting to take off for Connecticut. Yes, let’s get the gang back together this weekend and raise a bunch of $$ I know how disappointed people were at the vote on Roe. But we just need more pro choice Senators. — PolitiTweet.org
