"Trump's corruption has reached an entirely new level. The $1.7 billion slush fund is just outright theft. And no Republican owes such bind allegiance to the president to defend this."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"This week Republicans will use a process in the Senate called "reconciliation" to jam through an ICE funding bill with 50 votes. Why are they doing this? Because they want ICE to be able to operate lawlessly, and they know they can't get 60 votes for that."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"A gallon of gas now costs $5 in Connecticut. Diesel is $6. This is ruining people who live paycheck to paycheck, small businesses, farmers and the trucking industry.
And there is only person who has caused prices to be this high: DONALD TRUMP."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"Over the next week week, Republicans are going to spend all their time trying to pass legislation sending A BILLION DOLLARS of your money to help Trump throw corrupt billionaire parties.
The ballroom is the biggest scam out there. Here's why."

"It's hard to keep track of Trump's corruption schemes, but here's the most dangerous one.

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"There's going to be a lot of talk about tariffs as Trump goes to China.
So remember this - Trump's tariffs aren't trade policy. They are political weapons. You get exemptions from the tariffs if you pledge political allegiance to Trump.
That's why we are losing factory jobs."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"Secretary Hegseth said today Trump has "all the cards" in negotiations with Iran.
This was so concerningly disconnected from reality, I went to the Senate floor to explain how Trump's incompetence has given Iran far more leverage today than during the nuclear talks in 2013."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"Not a single one of Trump’s (ever changing) war goals is close to being achieved. Iran still has the majority of their missiles and drones. They still have a nuclear program. They are more powerful globally today than before the war. An utter disaster."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
"America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more."
-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
