The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.
Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate.
Because we don't have a minute to wait.
We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.
This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.
We need new leaders in the Senate.
It’s not “patriotic” to bail out Argentina while Americans are struggling, to build a ballroom while cutting SNAP benefits, or to pad your own pockets while claiming “affordability” is a hoax.
When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one.
No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.
The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.
This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.
In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.
Respectfully (and I genuinely mean this), I’ve never heard a single regular person ask for “bipartisanship.” That’s inside nonsense.
They want things to work.
If the other party refuses to work for people, be the ones who will. Fight for people. Make it plain who isn’t, and who THEY’RE for.
This is why people hate Washington.
The President is bragging about his buddies' investments while people see their retirements go down the drain.
The DeVos family is back at it and about to write some big, big checks to try to turn *everything* in Michigan red.
There's a lot more to this story – so I want to break it down 🧵
We went to No Kings looking for paid protestors. What we found will shock you.
This admin is turning on the firehose hoping you’ll burn out and give up.
But you don’t have to do it all. Do one thing, take one step each day.
Put your phone down. Take a walk. Find the thing that moves you and focus.
If we all find our one thing, we’ll build something better—together.
Wow. Just wow. We have already raised over $1m from over 12k people in support of this US Senate campaign. From all 83 counties in Michigan. From every state in the country.
Thank you for believing in me and what we can build together.
And we are just 👏 getting 👏 started 👏
We need to:
✅ overturn Citizens United
✅ ban Congressional stock trading
✅ get dark money out of politics
To get corporate influence out of our politics and return it to the people.
If we want to be the party of the people, we need to be out there WITH the people. Full stop.
We can organize everywhere.
We can flip red seats.
We can flip entire chambers.
And we can govern like we give a damn.
Let’s show the rest of the country how to fight like Michigan.
Nobody is coming to save us but us.
Yesterday I launched my campaign for U.S. Senate because we deserve – and we need – a new path.
The President of the United States is openly threatening to 'nationalize' elections, and it's no mistake he intentionally targeted Detroit.
In Michigan, we've led the nation in expanding access to and securing our right to vote. And we won't stop now.
People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.
That’s why I’m running on:
- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$
One day, we’ll be able to tell our kids and our grandkids - when the future of our country was on the line, we fought for it. And we won.
That means getting involved TODAY. Hear it from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Maybe we need US Senators who aren’t actually rooting for you to die.
Gen Z is the first generation to be less cognitively capable than the one before them. A neuroscientist told Congress why: screens.
I helped pass legislation to get phones out of classrooms and I have a plan to hold Big Tech accountable. My guiding principle will always be putting our kids first.
After Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 4 Michigan insurers are dropping out of the ACA marketplace altogether. That’s 200,000 Michiganders who just lost their plans.
Americans can’t afford this deal.
Democrats can fight AND win — just like we did in our budget battle in Michigan.
A promise isn’t a deal. Don’t settle.
