Hey @nytimes.com, I will be very, very pissed off at you if tomorrow's headline about the Trump speech isn't Lies, Lies, and More Lies. With the lede, "President's hate-filled racist speech disgusts Americans."

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

CA fought for YOU & @thedemocrats by passing Prop 50. NYC, VA & NJ showed how they feel about GOP policies.
If's your turn to fight for us. DO NOT VOTE to open the gov't w/o extending ACA subsidies. Republicans have proved over & over & over again that they cannot be trusted.
