My stomach is churning right now as I’m reviewing images for my floor speech this afternoon on the violent felons Trump pardoned. Here’s David Dempsey beating officers with a flagpole. He got a full pardon and is being let out jail. We can’t let this feel normal.
Saw you on the floor, Senator! It was powerful. Thank you for calling this out for what it is. Scary times. 😳
Thank you for your courage. Please keep speaking out! We need more leaders like you. What can we do to help?
If Chris Murphy decides to run for President in 2028, let us help Chris Murphy become President in 2028. Why? Because he is intelligent, serious, caring, experienced and perhaps charismatic. To Chris Murphy: please run for President.
This is horrendous and not at all normal.
Call a press conference and detail all these criminals! Child porn websites (Silk Road dark web site), calls for assassinations… this is disgusting! Speak up! ThankYou Senator!!!! 💙
What are Senate Dems doing to counter this? Saying "it isn't normal" isn't enough. The GOP has blown out the meaning of normal. At the least these pardons should be enough to stop Bondi. What is the plan? Please tell us there is a plan.
Please do something! Schumer is a fucking fool who evidently wants to be controlled by Nazis ? Or he is complicit - speak out ! This is terrifying
Thank you so much for speaking up and refusing to back down on these matters. We don't want compromise with people who try to overthrow our government and pal around with Nazis. Please keep at it!
I can remember when Republicans did their dirty work behind closed doors and out of sight, now they just shove it in our faces as though it is normal and We work for them instead of the fact that they work for us! #FuckTrump #FuckRepublicans #FuckTheGOP #FuckMAGA #MakeAmericaGrimyAgain
I'm sorry Senator Murphy. I cannot fathom what it feels like walking through there now. 😢
Then start doing your jobs.
Keep posting every day
Clicking on a heart to follow these does not seem correct.
Thank you for showing courage and speaking out. It's been too quiet.
Call a press conference and talk about it! We need to capture attention spans.
I feel like @chrismurphyct.bsky.social is the only Dem in the Senate still fighting.
“Back the Blue”, isn’t that what the party of “Law and Order” says…..it’s not shameful it’s straight forward corruption.
Please post the link when it's up, Senator, and thank you.
Trump is building his Brown Shirt coalition - violence is pardonable. This is dangerous and scary as hell.
I just can’t stress how deeply disjointed I am in so many of your Democratic colleagues. The “political speak” and endless words to really say nothing that comes close to the alarms that should be raised. You’re one of the only senators I’ve seen out there speaking plainly and urgently.
Thanks for your form letter reply to me, as my senator
The justice system is bought and sold. At the very least a two tiered system.
Keep it up. We have to flood social media with the horrors this administration is unleashing. We need to reverse the brainwashing somehow.
President Peepants' special police don't stop you from assaulting members of Congress.
Thank you Senator. I just wrote to the state AG asking if they have a plan to deal with these violent criminals since the fed. Gov. just unleashed them to the public at large. If local authorities are going to protect us , we need to know, and soon.
When most folks in prison have convictions overturned f (as with help of innocence project) it usually still takes a long time for them actually to be released. The prison system was remarkably efficient here?!
Keep up the good work Senator Murphy. Though you may have some friends on the other side of the aisle, all of them are bowing to Trump. Hold them accountable.
Someone needs to beat his ass with that flag pole.
All due respect saying “this can’t be normalized” isn’t enough but thank you for your efforts. It’s gone beyond this and calls for extraordinary measures. You up for it?
Another brown shirt created
It ISNT normal. It’s a damn free for all in DC.
It's not normal Keep it up Really
Then fucking do something about it! You are complicit in this. Pillow-fighting a fascist regime. Remove Schumer as Minority Leader immediately and become the saboteurs that Mitch McConnell has been for decades. Fucking fight! Sick of the passivity. You failed us, every single one of you!
Although, I agree 100 percent that Senate Dems need to dump Schumer from leadership. He has been totally ineffective. Make Sanders the leader and get on his winning message in a disaplined, strategic way. Sanders is the most trusted pol. In the country. Tell the corp and AIPAC money to fuck off
They won’t make Sanders leader, he’s 83. They need the next generation. A younger leader who can speak to the collective with a message that suffocates the GOP noise. Wouldn’t mind Schatz. Slotkin would actually be amazing but she was just elected. Issue is most are 60+.
I don't think Sanders age is a problem. He is as sharp as ever and talks in the language people everywhere understand. But im open to new blood. I just Sanders is a well known and well trusted pol and why not take advantage of that. Just my humble opinion.
I understand your anger , trust me. Murphy is using his position to inform. That is his job. Our job is to think and organize. Contact your state and local officials and demand that they have a plan to protect us from these violent criminals. Strength is with numbers and smart action. Solidarity!!
He is a Senator. His job is to act on our behalf. And yes, I have contacted all my officials. Thanks.
Agree completely. There is so much talk, and no meaningful action.
Most of us are horrified. At least I hope so
Amen to that! We cannot! Ever!
Keep pushing the Dems Senator. There’s at least 75 million of us out here looking for leadership and a voice against the Trump and his cronies. We need Dems willing to start Good Trouble not spout mealy mouthed utterances of “bipartisanship”.
I agree with you 100% 💯. Thanks for being brave! Tell your fellow Democrats to stand up!
Yes but at least a president that is above the law can pardon his cronies to make them also above the law and woo boy we’d be an unserious country without that
Thank you for speaking out. Please do more and get more Senators to do so as well. These pardons can not “moved on from”.
Why aren’t Dems being proactive and buying prime time to air actual 1/6 footage BEFORE maga starts their investigation? Preaching on MSNBC is a waste…we need NBC, ABC, and CBS. BE LOUD! I am tired of zero messaging from the left. WHERE TF ARE YOU?
Yeah , it makes me sick every time I hear him spew out that crap about how all the immigrants are dangerous criminals, and then he goes and releases criminals that may very well attack the people who investigated them
Thank you for speaking out on this while the Repubs say your questioning of a nominee impacts security.
It's going to take more than speeches to right these wrongs.
All of you should be talking on floor about this. Non stop.
Technically the argument could be made that by pardoning them, he "gave comfort" to these domestic terrorists.
Exactly!
This is absolutely appalling. Trump should be in prison with all of them.
Schumer says moar bipartisanship is the answer! Here's hoping you all can meet somewhere in the middle on (checks notes) violent insurrection. Or maybe Republicans will agree to let trans folks to use the bathroom if Democrats say its OK for white supremacists to assault police officers.
If I was American, I'd vote for you! I hope you have a serious run at the Presidency in '28.
We need Republicans, not Mega Republicans, if there are any in Congress to rise up against this insanity. We will not survive otherwise.
Senator, I hear you speaking out. Please ask all of the Democratic Congress members to start getting in front of this and speak out now!!
Unfortunately this is the new normal and Democrats inaction when they could have prevented all of it, helped lead to the death of American democracy. Actions speak louder than words and/or strongly worded posts and letters. I provided proof of election interference, which was completely ignored.
🦸 Thank you for speaking out! We need more bipartisanship on speaking out on these TRUTHS about normalizing lawlessness!
Thank you for your speech today. But what are your fellow Democrats in the Senate doing and thinking? Why is it that the GOP seems to know how to fight and the Dems don't? Get your fellow Dems to stand up and get in front of the cameras and keep doing so. Inundate the airwaves!
I am grateful for your wise leadership.
Thank you for standing up for us and your speech today. We appreciate all you do and I'm so glad you're my Senator.
Thank you for making this issue a priority!
Thank you for speaking out so much and fighting back. We need all democrats to do this every day on every channel. We need fighters. Trump and Musk must go.
