Chris Murphy
U.S. Senator from Connecticut.
- Good morning. Republicans are trying to push through a bill that would throw 13M people off their insurance. All for a tax cut for the rich. That’s the combined population of West Virginia Hawaii New Hampshire Maine Montana Rhode Island both Dakotas Alaska Vermont Wyoming
- I will block any arms sale to a nation that is doing direct personal business with Trump. We should have a full Senate debate and vote. UAE's investment in Trump crypto and Qatar's gifting of a plane is nuclear grade graft. An unacceptable corruption of our foreign policy.
- Normally, arms sales go forward without a vote. But any Senator can object and force a full debate and Senate vote. I will do that for any military deal with a nation that is paying off Trump personally. We can't act like this is normal foreign policy.
- Ok. But even if it’s not a done deal yet, the fact giving Trump a jet is “under consideration” tells you all you need to know about what countries are being told they need to do to be an ally with America under Trump. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
- This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.
- Florida Congressman Greg Steube refuses to explain to his constituents why he supports throwing millions off their health care to pay for a giant tax cut for the wealthy. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I will do his job for him. Holding a town hall there tomorrow. floridaphoenix.com/briefs/sen-c...
- Hey @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I keep adding stops on our tour of spots where Republican Congressmen are hiding and refusing to hold town halls. Saturday morning we will be in Sarasota, Florida. We are already near capacity, so hustle to RSVP or follow the livestream here.
