Murphy Statement on Trump FY27 Budget Proposal
Criticized Trump's $1.5 trillion FY27 defense budget as prioritizing military spending over helping struggling families.

Murphy Statement on Trump's Incoherent Primetime Address on Iran
Criticized Trump administration's Iran war strategy as incoherent and destabilizing.
“That speech was grounded in a reality that only exists in Donald Trump's mind. We are losing this war. We cannot destroy all their missiles or drones, nor their nuclear program. Iran projects more power in the region than they did before the war, especially if they now permanently control the Strait of Hormuz.”
