It is so agonizing that we have Senators like Murphy but Schumer's the Leader.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 12h

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

The GOP seems to be a bit confused. Perhaps they are recognizing who will actually be blamed for this disaster? www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Trump's off-script comments cause shutdown headaches for GOP

President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are straining to project a united front against Democrats.

Dear Americans,

Stop glazing Doug Ford. He's not your friend, he's not our friend. He's a shitty conservative populist that is exactly like Trump in every single way. He's corrupt, he's racist, he ignores our laws and he intimidates our media. He pretends to be against Trump for optics only.

Ford on Tariffs: But there has to be a point that, if Prime Minister Carney can’t get a deal, we have to start hitting back.

We can’t just keep rolling over to President Trump. As he strengthens his case, we seem to be weakening our case by continuously pulling off tariffs.
