Senator Chris Murphy

Spent the day in Hartford meeting with my “kitchen cabinet” of advisors at Burr Elementary school, introducing the Fair Prices for Local Businesses Act to level the playing field for local businesses like Key Food, and teaming up with to talk to seniors about how Trump’s cuts to Social Security are making life harder for them

We suffer a spiritual wound when prediction markets transform deep moral question of war and famine into a coarse money making opportunity. Not to mention the massive corruption it spurs inside government.

My bill with will ban prediction markets for government action.

Here’s what I know.

The Iran War will cost $200B. Prices in the U.S. are spiking. The Middle East is on fire. A dozen soldiers are dead, more to come.

And for what? Iran’s new leaders are worse than the old ones, and they will keep their missile, drone and nuclear programs.

I want to walk you through why it’s nearly certain Trump’s Iran War is going to be a massive, deadly, trillion dollar failure. And why you should be furious he’s set us on this path.

We should not fund DHS without serious reform. We could return CBP to border. We could require warrants for immigration arrests. We could beef up training and require identification.

The list of possible reforms is long. What’s unacceptable is the current lawless status quo.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

I just left a meeting with two families that just got released from detention. Two families with little kids who were traumatized for no reason. Two families that came here legally and played by the rules and it didn’t matter because Trump isn’t obeying the law.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to both Dilley and Pearsall detention center. Because they have something to hide.

I want to talk to you about Trump’s new AI executive order.

It’s a disaster - an unprecedented gift to the AI billionaires to help them profit off poisoning our kids and destroying our jobs.

It’s all corruption - Trump helps them make money; they help him politically.

13 years since that unspeakable day in Sandy Hook. 13 years of growing a movement to make sure kids feel safe everywhere. 13 years of heroes living with pain and grief yet still speaking truth to power.
