"The conditions in ICE detention centers are outrageous. Worms. Standing sewage water. Measles outbreaks.
52 people have died so far. No American - no matter what your view is on immigration - should stand for this inhumanity."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"The deadly Cyclospora diarrhea outbreak, it turns out, is just another Trump corruption story. A big donor gets a favor. And causes a massive public health crisis.
Let me explain."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"Our message is simple.
Trump’s corruption and incompetence is losing the war - and as a result gas and food prices are skyrocketing.
The November election a referendum to end the war."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"This morning the Judiciary Committee is expected to approve Trump’s personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, for Attorney General.
Republicans will claim they got a commitment to end Trump’s political payout slush fund.
THEY DID NOT. Let me tell you why."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"The disclosure that an OpenAI model “escaped” its containment should scare the hell out of everyone. As should how flippant the company has been about the development.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to protect the industry from regulation. A disaster in the making."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"He doesn't care anymore. It's just non-stop, in-your-face corruption.
The latest? If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you advance White House announcements on economic and trade policy.
An insider trading subscription service.
People will go to jail for this."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"Trump’s entire fortune is now dependent on being able to continue his family’s crypto corruption schemes. The Senate cannot pass a bill regulating crypto that doesn’t end Trump’s corruption."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"Let me explain to you why the agreement Trump just announced with Saudi Arabia - giving them the ability to start a full nuclear program - makes peace with Iran much less likely. It's just more foreign policy malpractice."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"The dizzying pace of Trump's corruption is hard to keep up with. So I'm going to help you.
The latest? An under the radar announcement from the White House that medical research grants will no longer be merit based. Instead, Trump will hand them out to loyalists."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"A strategy of escalation will not work with Iran. It will just waste more money, get more Americans killed, and further unravel the Middle East."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back into office. 2 more in the last week. In addition, 50 people have died in ICE detention.
ICE has become a killing machine. We cannot let this feel normal. It isn't."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"The CLARITY Act is the bill supported by the crypto industry to increase their reach into our banking system and broader economy.
There are many problems with the bill, but most egregious is that is essentially legalizes Donald Trump's crypto corruption scheme.
Let me explain."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"In the most affluent, most powerful nation in the world, everyone who works full time should be able to pay their bills. A minimum wage should be a living wage. And that’s $25 an hour.
The billionaire class will say we can’t afford it. They are wrong. We can."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"Did you hear this? After throwing millions off their health care insurance, Trump is now going to let insurers make loans to patients - possibly with sky high interest rates - so they can afford the Trump premiums. Just a total scam."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"We just hit a harrowing milestone. There are now 1,000 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics that have closed or are on the verge of closing since Republicans gutted Medicaid and the ACA to fund tax cuts the wealthy.
Billionaires over patients. With deadly consequences."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"Every day, Trump or Rubio or Vance declare a new Iran policy. Or make a claim about what’s being negotiated that isn’t close to true.
The truth is, there probably aren’t any substantive negotiations and they don’t want you to know this. They just threw billions down the drain."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"Today I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
