Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 10/03/2026
A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.

The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people. If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Chakrabarti: We’ve basically created a federal jobs program to terrorize people through ICE. What if we used that instead to actually develop things — to build things people want? It’s the same with foreign policy. We’re spending all this money dropping bombs in other countries—no one wants that.

Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Septima Poinsette Clark (1898–1987) was an American educator and civil rights leader whose innovative literacy and citizenship programs empowered thousands of African Americans to vote and participate in democracy. Often called “the Mother of the Movement,” she linked grassroots education with political action in the struggle for racial justice.
In 1956, Clark joined the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee where she co-developed Citizenship Schools—grassroots literacy programs that taught adults to read, write, and understand their rights. The model spread across the South and became a foundation for voter registration drives, educating tens of thousands of African Americans.
After retiring in 1970, Clark won reinstatement of her teaching pension and served on the Charleston County School Board. Monuments, schools, and a parkway now honor her in South Carolina. The Highlander Research and Education Center continues her legacy through the Septima Clark Learning Center.
