A few reasons to elect Democrats to take back Congress: 1. Begin investigations with subpoena power 2. Block nominations 3. Refuse to give money to agencies that are ignoring the rule of law Stay focused and don't stay home!

Today, I'm heading to my town hall to pick up an absentee ballot. I will fill it out and return it on Monday and hand it in directly to my Town Clerk's office. Not taking any chances! Make a plan and vote early!

While listening to council meetings in Montreal, local mayor Sue Montgomery decided to knit in red when men spoke and in green when women spoke, when similar numbers of both attended. Day 1 results.... #WomensArt

A fantastic way to end the week! I started the day giving out free breakfast to Newington students, stopped by the Durham Fair, and wrapped up at the Hartford NAACP’s Annual Freedom Fund Dinner. Grateful to spend the day with so many great people across Connecticut!

It’s easy to promise “tax cuts” when your fantasy budget pays for them by gutting childcare, cutting medicaid and municipal aid, and banking on money from a lawsuit against New York that hasn't even been decided yet.

Last one except not behind the desk. Perhaps walking to the helicopter, air force one, etc. If he dies in the Oval, they will shut down the cameras and push people out. But if he drops dead outside, it will be harder to cover it up.

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.

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare. The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

Fazio fired his campaign manager last week. Oops...thing are falling apart in Fazio world.🤣 "The day-to-day operations of Fazio’s effort to unseat the incumbent governor are now in the hands of seasoned consultants and a tight-knit cadre of aides who worked with Fazio in the legislature."

Eileen has been a nurse for more than 40 years. She’s seen it all and knows Connecticut families can’t afford Ryan Fazio’s record of raising health care costs and voting against help to cover them. That’s why she’s standing with Governor Lamont.

I'm in agreement with much of what Wimbledon wants to do regarding influencers being allowed into tennis games. The US Open as mentioned in the article has turned into a zoo effect. As a viewer, I'm getting tired of all the glitz & the camera action looking for celebrities.

Part of the reason I go so hard for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social , VP Harris, and other Black political leaders is because I know firsthand how hard it is to lead in American politics while navigating a racism that knows no boundaries and wears no single party label.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

The fact that he is finally admitting he voted for Trump 3x is the biggest red flag & enough for me to not even bothering listening to whatever plans he thinks he'll be able to move through the Legislature that Democrats will continue to hold. Bye, bye Ryan.

Once again, Donald Trump is breaking the law to try to micromanage who gets to vote, and how we cast our ballots. This time, he's ordering the USPS to do his dirty work. We sued to block the initial executive order, and now we're suing again to block USPS from carrying out this illegal directive.

We're appealing a court decision that declined to impose civil penalties against Indie Guns, an illegal ghost gun dealer, that shipped unserialized firearms into Connecticut. We are confident in the law, and confident in our case, and we are going to aggressively pursue maximum penalties on appeal.
