Chris Murphy: "By taking away the power of courts to restrain the president when he is clearly acting in an unlawful manner, as he is when he says children born in the US are no longer citizens, you are assisting him in trying to undermine the rule of law and undermine our democracy."

Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

Telling California to copy Alabama’s education system is like telling a college grad to take notes from someone who failed high school. Alabama ranks #44 in education. California is #24. This isn’t advice—it’s political cosplay.
