Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT·
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Khanna: "No. I'm not supporting new funding. The answer for every Democrat should be 'absolutely no.' It's $400 billion for a war we oppose? We could have universal childcare for that. We could have free public college for that."

When Americans stand up and fight for justice, we win. We took on a king. We ended slavery. We built unions. We won voting rights. We secured LGBTQ rights. Again and again, Americans fought back — and won. We can do it again.

I’m convinced there is a 2028 presidential lane for a candidate who runs an explicit and laser-focused campaign against the master plan that legalized corruption. Some Dem should listen to our podcast Master Plan, then just run against what we expose.

Health care? "You're on your own." Housing? "Nothing we can do." Grocery prices? "You're out of luck." $200 billion for another war? "No problem!" Americans—Democrats, Republicans, independents—are SICK AND TIRED of endless wars. We need to invest here at home.

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

Last year, Tesla, Ticketmaster and Palantir made billions of dollars in profits, but paid ZERO in federal income taxes. Do you think Trump will address this outrage at his SOTU address? I doubt it.

California is proposing a 5% wealth tax on 200 billionaires worth $2T to protect health care for 3M people. Let’s get it done—and make billionaires finally pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Last night, my amendment to repeal ICE’s $75 billion funding increase and reverse cuts to Medicaid won the support of every Senate Democrat — and two Republicans. That didn’t happen by accident. It happens when people organize and demand change. The struggle continues.

The likely next Speaker of the House is Hakeem Jeffries and he is plainly not up to the task. Gutless, bad communicator, incompetent staff. Who in the Dem caucus is a better and viable alternative?

Rep. @AOC is right. Vertical integration in healthcare has created deep conflicts of interest. As our @FTC work revealed, these conglomerates have massively inflated the cost of lifesaving drugs. Rooting out these conflicts will mean better, more affordable care for everyone.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Wouldn't you agree? CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works really well for the consumer AOC: I think it works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets a cut, drug manufacturer gets a cut, and the patient gets screwed

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital CEO pay: $26.3 million Montefiore CEO pay: $16.7 million Mount Sinai CEO pay: $5.4 million Let’s be clear: These hospitals are not going broke. They can afford to provide their nurses with benefits and safe patient ratios.

Heartbreaking. A Minneapolis family driving home from their son’s basketball game in their car with six kids, including a 6-month-old, was hit by tear gas & flash-bangs from ICE agents, leaving their baby struggling to breathe and hospitalized. This is unacceptable. ICE is making our state less safe.

United Airlines made over $3.1 billion last year. Instead of reaching a fair deal with its flight attendants, United paid its CEO almost $34 million and provided over $162 million in stock buybacks to shareholders. United must respect its flight attendants and reach a deal NOW.

Elon Musk: “AI and robots will replace all jobs.” Sam Altman: "Entire classes of jobs will go away." Jensen Huang: “You are going to lose your job to somebody who uses AI.” The function of technology must be to improve human life, not just line the pockets of billionaires.

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

.@ZohranKMamdani’s agenda for NYC: Affordable housing, free childcare, free bus service & publicly funded grocery stores is NOT radical. What IS radical is that at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, the billionaire class refuses to pay its fair share of taxes.
