there — a day after the Senate broke for recess while airport security lines remain in shambles due to a partial shutdown. Murphy posted a photo of himself with the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host at an anti-President Trump rally in Torrance, California — some 2,500 miles from his home state.

“Look who I ran into at the No Kings rally in Torrance, California,” Murphy posted on X.
