Wishing @ChrisMurphyCT a full and speedy recovery!
Chris Murphy’s chief says the 53-year-old Democratic senator had a stroke.
“Yesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke. He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery.”
Donald Trump is the smallest man with an ego so paper-thin that he’s abusing his power to meddle with the election in Alaska.
Because he knows he’s going to lose.
They know the American people are rejecting their lies, higher costs and corruption. And they will do anything to distract from their own failures.
It will not work. In America, voters choose who will lead them. Not the other way around.
Americans deserve a government of, by and for the people. Trump is leading a presidency of, by and for him and the billionaire class.
Officially 8 months into an illegal war the President said would only take a few weeks.
22 servicemembers killed.
Hundreds more wounded.
Munitions stockpile drained.
Military bases damaged.
Diplomatic footprint eroded.
$47+ billion spent.
Republican inaction is unforgivable.
Dolores Huerta was a true force for good. She taught us all what it means to fight for the voiceless, ensuring generations of workers have better wages, safer working conditions and a fairer shot at the American Dream.
Her legacy will inspire us forever. ¡Sí, se puede!
ALT Dolores Huerta smiles at the camera.
That makes 5 out of more than 300. Hardly a drop in the bucket.
Can't say you've removed "all barriers" when there's still billions in energy projects being illegally blocked.

Senate Republicans keep telling Americans that Trump is fighting to lower prices.
Someone should tell Donald Trump.

ICE is not doing enough to protect the immigrants in its custody. Its negligence is killing people and tearing families apart. This Administration must answer for its role in this travesty.
Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois.
Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money.
Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

Scoop in @PunchbowlNews AM: 4 Senate Democrats led by @SenDuckworth are pushing back on the bipartisan permitting reform bill, arguing it will further enable Trump to favor fossil fuel projects and won’t stop its attacks on clean energy. Merkley, Markey, Wyden join new letter
NEWS: A new report reveals Trump’s personal oil and gas holdings have nearly doubled in value, now worth as much as $81.6 million compared to as much as $46 million last year.
The President is profiting off Americans' suffering. And he couldn't be prouder.
So when you’re paying hundreds more for gas per month, remember:
The President doesn’t give a damn.
The Governor said no.
The Supreme Court said no.
And the last time he tried to send the National Guard in, it cost taxpayers $21 million.
Never again. Trump is not a king.
Americans paid an extra $310 for groceries in Trump’s first year in office alone. Now ground beef is over $7 a pound and coffee is topping $9.
Families can't afford Trump's broken promises.
Trump slashed 30% of the CDC’s workforce, weakening our ability to detect outbreaks, fight disease and protect American lives.
You can't make America healthy again by firing the people who protect our public health.
This is horrifying. They're sending armed agents door to door, traumatizing children and demanding proof of citizenship. And next, they'll be at our polling places.
The lengths Trump will go to cling to power are shocking and un-American.
Over and over again, Trump has denied disaster relief to Illinois.
Because apparently, his government can afford tax cuts for billionaires but not help for families in their greatest moments of need. Despicable.
BREAKING:
Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own.
The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help. politico.com/news/2026/10/20…
