CT Republicans are silent as Connecticut families face skyrocketing home heating oil prices. Their party leader is creating a very expensive winter ahead for Connecticut families.

Connecticut is the 5th-safest state in America, according to a new WalletHub study. CT ranked #1 in personal & residential safety and had the 2nd-lowest rate of assaults per capita. New England dominates the list, with 5 of the 6 safest states in the region. 🏆

Connecticut families are paying more to heat their homes — and Trump’s war is making it worse. CT heating oil is up 86% compared to last year. While CT Republicans stay silent, Connecticut families are left paying the price.

The entire United States added fewer jobs last month than there are seats at Rentschler Field. Every new job in all 50 states, combined, wouldn’t fill a UConn football game in East Hartford. That is what the Trump regime’s chaos means for working people looking for a paycheck.

Higher gas prices have caused Connecticut drivers to pay $1,000,000 more per day. Diesel is at a record high, Trump’s own Fed raised interest rates because inflation is so bad, home heating oil is unaffordable, and the oil supply could be constrained even further because of the illegal Iran War.
