Trump is trying to fix the rules so he gets to rule forever; following the authoritarian playbook to the letter: - harass or co-opt the press - weaken the lawyers - silence universities and student protest - cut off funding for the opposition But we won’t let him win.

If anyone out there was undecided on whether Trump is operationalizing a precise, coordinated plan to destroy our democracy so he can rule until he dies, the move to shut down Act Blue, the primary way Democrats’ campaigns are funded, should be the final proof point.

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Having zero tolerance for our leaders profiting off elected office should have nothing to do with right/left politics. Sooo...my op-ed for Fox News on how Trump's first 100 days marks him as the most corrupt president in American history. www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...

SEN CHRIS MURPHY: In Trump's first 100 days, he has normalized corruption. It must stop

When you think of corrupt politicians, you might imagine rooms where secret deals are brokered. What makes Trump’s corruption unique is that he isn’t trying to hide what he’s doing.

Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly. Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

A lot of parents who have special needs children but voted for Trump are about to get to the FO part.

A screenshot of a tweet from the ACLU (@aclu.org) that reads:
"BREAKING: President Trump issued an executive order to begin dismantling the Department of Education.

This will severely hinder the federal government’s ability to meet its legal obligations laid out by Congress to protect students’ civil rights and empower them to achieve their future potential."

We’re about to find out if the “deficit hawks” mean what they say. Because the only way to reconcile massive Trump tax cuts with their stated main priority is to either cut spending enough to crush swing district Rs in 2026, or accept Johnson’s phony numbers on DOGE & tariffs.
