Threats of a bloody, costly invasion imperiling America’s sons & daughters, skyrocketing prices, countless civilian lives already lost—the terrible mounting toll of Trump’s feckless war of impulse & illusion highlight his tragic lack of plan, & purpose. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

The pervasive spread of sports betting is leading to addiction, personal bankruptcies, & mental health challenges. I'm proud to see young people speaking out on this rapidly growing issue impacting communities in CT & across the country.
Very excited to join @jheil.bsky.social on @puck.news. Great conversation about DHS funding & reforms for ICE, the draconian SAVE Act, & Trump's war of choice in Iran. puck.news/podcast_epis...
Hegseth blocking promotion of Black & women officers with exemplary service is shameful & unlawful—he must be stopped. I’ll fight this seemingly disgraceful discrimination in the Armed Services Committee, which approves all promotion lists.
Houthis attacking Israel augurs ill. It likely widens war & escalates peril. Trump could & should have planned for it, but there’s no sign he did. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/w...
Wonderful showing in Niantic—saying No Kings! Thank you Indivisible!
You’re so vain… Nothing is too small or big to escape Trump’s self-naming obsession. Federal buildings, dollar bills, commemorative coins, & much more. Self-glorification second in scale only to self-enrichment. time.com/article/2026...
Loud & proud—Hartford’s No Kings rally had tremendous turnout & great energy.
WNBA put a full court press on blocking the Sun from staying in CT—deeply harmful to fans that live & breathe basketball. DOJ should investigate & stop such anticompetitive interference. www.ctinsider.com/sports/artic...
Trump’s delusional denial of Jan 6 is infectious—installing a plaque honoring courageous Capitol police in the dead of night & force feeding judicial nominees canned responses. Their spineless falsehoods show they’re unfit for the federal bench, lacking independence & integrity.
Shamefully, they are denying women veterans who have been raped or whose health is at risk the essential health care they need.
Republicans just voted to uphold an abortion ban for 462,000 women veterans—even in cases of rape, incest, or if their health is endangered.
Today, Republicans showed America they believe in abortion bans—& make no mistake, veterans will suffer as a result.
Sickeningly, the Trump Administration has implemented an abortion ban on women veterans, even in cases of rape, incest, or health endangerment. If my Republican colleagues believe in protecting women veterans, they must support my resolution overturning this cruel policy.
I would urge any member of Congress that continues to do Mark Zuckerberg’s bidding to look at this verdict & their conscience. It’s time to enact the Kids Online Safety Act into law. 3
It is also powerful proof that the Kids Online Safety Act—to provide accountability & protections for all young people in America—is urgently needed. 2/
This verdict is the beginning of real justice for parents across the country that have suffered & faced heartbreaking loss from Big Tech’s greed. 1/
Our findings bely the Trump admin’s claim that they are targeting the ‘worst of the worst’ & reveal the devastating consequences of the Trump admin’s draconian policies. 3
My investigation with @robertgarcia.house.gov has documented the cases of 128 children who have been injured, assaulted, left unattended, or otherwise put at risk by DHS agents—clearly only a fraction of the victims. 2/ www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
The Trump admin has pursued a lawless & cruel immigration agenda—brutally damaging countless children across the country. 1/
ICE at airports is just the latest tactic in Trump’s campaign of unchecked cruelty. We must continue to shine a spotlight on ICE’s tremendous abuses of power, which is why I am hosting a forum tomorrow to bear witness to the stories of children brutalized by DHS agents.
