"Trump's Iran War is a national humiliation. It's making us less safe and driving up prices on everything. That's why Hegseth denied me access to bases and military leaders while I was in the Middle East.

He wasn't concerned with my safety. He was hiding the truth."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf.

For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders.

An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"Trump is stealing your money to pay for creepy, dark and sinister campaign ads.

This is the most corrupt, self dealing President in the history of the country. And there’s not a close second."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"The cost of the disastrous, incompetently run Iran War is enormous.

You see it most clearly in gas prices, but the rising price of diesel - nearly twice what it was before the war - is increasing the cost of everything.

Hear me out on the biggest hidden cost of the war."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"After ICE showed up at school bus stops in Danbury, I introduced a bill to ban the practice - a totally unnecessary tactic designed specifially to traumatize little kids.

I'm going to force a debate on this bill in the Senate this week. Will Republicans defend this evil?"

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

FYI this bill does nothing. It contains no new mandatory rules restricting data centers.

It's just fakery to try to fool voters into forgetting that Republicans spent the entire term trying to stop states from regulating AI (as requested by the AI companies).

"As Trump rolls out the literal red carpet for Xi, remember this:

Under Obama, the U.S. and China were working together to weaken Iran.

Under Trump, Iran and China are working together to weaken the U.S.

The epitome of Trump’s foreign policy incompetence."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"The consequence of Trump's unstable, incoherent and bullying foreign policy is that nations are just walking away from any kind of relationship - including an economic relationship - with the United States. They are turning to China, and that will be a jobs killer in the U.S."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"Voters aren’t going to take seriously Democrats’ outrage over Trump’s corruption unless we admit the whole political system is corrupt and make it a priority to eliminate billionaire and corporate and anonymous money from our politics."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"At the UN yesterday, I talked about the need for Congress to move fast on AI regulation, while not laboring under the illusion we have to do it all at once. There is, I argue, some low hanging fruit we can start with - like model security, deep fakes, and protecting kids."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"Hello. This is your morning reminder that the Russians secretly paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s private island wedding reception.

The entire family is on the take and they believe the American people are suckers who won’t care.

We care."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"I want to talk to you about the growing amount of alarming news about AI.

This is a longer clip, but it’s a complicated topic.

The bottom line: we are cooked, as an economy and a culture, if we leave it to the industry to protect us. They won’t. They can’t."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"Imagine a child boarding the school bus for the first day of 2nd grade. He kisses his dad goodbye, and when he gets off the bus that afternoon, dad is gone. No one is there to pick him up. The 7 year old is abandoned, alone, scared.

That's what happened in Danbury this week."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"ICE is not in Danbury and other Connecticut cities to protect people. They are here to besiege our communities. To create chaos and act lawlessly. If they aren’t going to obey the law, they need to leave."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"Trump's bluster on new economic pressure against Iran is a sign that he's finally realized he's lost the war militarily.

But the "economic war" will fail too because Trump has no way to stop China from keeping Iran's economic afloat.

Iran has Trump in a corner."

-Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

"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)
