@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

The Florida House will lose a smart and powerful advocate for the people, but Orlando will gain a community fighter. I think she'd also make a great Governor, but I'm happy for the families and businesses in Orlando. Let's Go Win This!

GOP in Florida condemned as a dog fight. Well, duh. You either toe the line, or you're out! The 2026 Governor's race is also a loyalty purity test between the F47-endorsed candidate & DeSantis's preference. It's like Trump wants to bury Ron and Wilton Simpson at the same time.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
