"This is horrifying... It's a counterintelligence nightmare and it should never have happened." Rep. @jahimes.bsky.social reacts to ProPublica’s reporting that a Putin-linked Russian oligarch secretly bankrolled hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses for Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding.

CT GOP candidate William Gifford’s Instagram feed is a one-stop shop for platforming hate. In addition to asking if it’s OK to not like Jewish people, he promotes a transparently racist ideology, smiling, laughing, and highlighting “it’s not a theory!” Vile video: www.instagram.com/reel/DStk5RH...

Hello. This is your reminder that the Russians secretly paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s private island wedding reception. The entire family is on the take and they believe the American people are suckers who won’t care. We care.

Donald Trump has tried over and over again to seize control of this election, to pick and choose who gets to vote and how we cast our ballots. Tonight, the United States Supreme Court sided with states and gave Trump a big no.

Americans are being scammed out of billions of dollars while Trump is using crypto to turn the presidency into a profit generating machine. The Clarity Act’s weak rules & carveouts would supercharge fraud & undermine law enforcement.

Just arrived in Danbury to demand accountability for the dozens of immigrants - many of them here legally - that have been disappeared in recent days. Some ripped from their kids at school bus stops. Keep protesting, but peacefully. ICE is looking to provoke a crisis.

Ryan Fazio is lying to Connecticut. He says Republican insiders, including a current GOP State Rep candidate and a delegate to the GOP Convention, are CT Dems. If he is starting his campaign with a lie this brazen, imagine what else he’s lying about.

I joined a coalition of AGs to sue to block Paramount Skydance’s proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. This merger will create a media behemoth capable of controlling the film/tv industry. States are once again filling the antitrust enforcement void left by the Trump DOJ.

Trump’s war is driving up costs, draining billions from taxpayers, and making CT families pay the price. That’s why Connecticut Democrats in the U.S. House voted to end it. Every House Democrat voted yes to pass the bill, introduced by Rep. Jim Himes, over the objections of GOP leadership.
