NextEra Energy gave $4 million to Donald Trump's White House ballroom reconstruction fund before seeking federal approval for its merger with Dominion Energy. It goes without saying-NextEra did not give $4 million to Donald Trump's ballroom because they love historic preservation.

NY AG Letitia James and I announced a $2.7 million settlement with New York-based pediatric health network Boston Children's Health Physicians and IT management company XTIUM. Hackers stole the records of about 62,800 CT residents. We’re holding BCHP and their security vendor accountable.

Eversource is appealing a decision blocking more than $300 million in unjustified storm related interest charges. Connecticut families shouldn't be stuck footing this bill. We're going to fight this appeal every step of the way.

Eversource is appealing a decision that would block it from charging ratepayers more than $300 million in additional storm related interest costs. We're going to fight this appeal with everything we've got to ensure families aren't stuck paying this outrageous, unaffordable, and unjustified demand.

For the third time, the Trump administration is attempting to stop Revolution Wind. This makes zero sense. We sued to get Revolution Wind back online, and we will not hesitate to return to court again to protect Connecticut jobs and our access to clean, renewable, affordable power.

We teamed up with CT Foodshare to announce the start of distribution of 1.5 million free eggs as a part of a settlement with 3 of the largest egg producers in this country. Thank you to Foodshare for stepping up to get these eggs out into our communities, and for the vital work they do every day.

Consumer Counsel Claire Coleman and I are petitioning PURA to open a review of AI use by public utilities in CT. AI adoption is rapidly outpacing our ability to understand and control for risk. We need to know exactly where, why and how it is being deployed, and what safeguards are in place.

We've reached a settlement with RZ Smoke over allegations that the company illegally distributed and sold high potency cannabis products to businesses without a license from the DCP. We will not hesitate to hold accountable any businesses skirting our laws and putting profits ahead of public safety.

We’re continuing to lead the fight against generic drug companies. We’re seeking court approval for a $400k settlement with Ascend and $650k with Mayne. Citron’s settlement only includes non-monetary terms. These companies conspired with competitors to rig the generic drug market.

RealPage attempted to have our bipartisan antitrust lawsuit against it. A judge has ruled the case is going forward. RealPage exists to enable the country's biggest landlords to rig the market and jack up rents for families. We sued to give families a fair chance at an affordable place to live.

I'm joining a coalition in filing a lawsuit against the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for weakening corporate average fuel economy standards. Gas is pushing $5 a gallon right now. This is the worst possible time to make our cars less efficient and more wasteful.

We’re suing the Trump admin for dismantling federal greenhouse gas pollution limits for power plants. Connecticut sits at the end of the nation's tailpipe. Without strong federal regulation and responsible actions by our upwind neighbors, our air quality,climate, and public health will suffer.

The new combined company would be unprecedented in size, scope, and market penetration, increasing incentives for the company to drive up costs and strategically withhold energy resources to benefit its portfolio at the expense of ratepayers and states.

Severe storms can cause severe property damage. It's tempting to jump on a lowball offer, especially if someone is ready to get to work. But if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Take your time and verify that a contractor is legitimate, licensed, with a detailed written contract.

Congress needs to wake up and enact aggressive, substantive regulations to protect national security, public safety, our financial system and our jobs. Connecticut is doing everything we can through legislation and litigation on our own, but we need coherent, cohesive leadership from Washington.

Vaccines save lives. MAHA memes are not a reliable or safe source of medical information. I urge Trump and RFK Jr. to respect the science and stop playing politics with our children’s lives. Too many children have died already from their reckless and foolish policy-by-conspiracy-theory.

Donald Trump is taking our tax dollars for business bribes to block offshore wind so that Big Oil can keep extracting maximum profits from old fossil fuel infrastructure. We desperately need more clean, renewable energy in this country to drive down costs for overburdened families.

Major players across the generic drug industry rigged the market and forced customers to pay higher prices for critical medication. We secured tens of millions of dollars in restitution, and we are just getting started. Check your medicine cabinets and records and apply for compensation.

CT fought to the bitter end to protect the editorial independence of CNN & CBS. We demanded full divestiture and fought aggressively. I’m deeply disappointed that we could not do more, but we secured an enforceable editorial board structure that’ll meaningfully help protect both news organizations.

PURA was right from the start to slash these rates. CT families can’t afford to bankroll padded profits and unnecessary expenses. And don't forget, CNG was over-collecting millions of dollars from CT families before they had the gall to ask for more.

The CT Insurance Dept approved double-digit health insurance rate hikes that will impact about 220,000 people. This is not on the CID- by the time these rate increases hit their review, it’s too late. We need every player at the table to negotiate cost relief before these rate demands are crafted.

l've joined a coalition of AGs and 2 governors in reaching an agreement to stop the Trump admin from dismantling AmeriCorps. Gutting it was a shortsighted, irrational attack. We forced Trump to release $184 million in funds, and now we're making him promise never to repeat this brainless move again.

I went to school with Todd Isaac, who worked at Cantor Fitzgerald and lost his life on 9/11. Every year, I try to say his name and honor his memory. 25 years may have passed but we continue to remember Todd and every life lost. We stand with the loved ones forever changed by that day.
