I was privileged to know Robert Mueller as a friend & fellow law enforcement officer—a dedicated, courageous patriot, skilled prosecutor, & tireless investigative leader. A tough mind, but generous heart.

Thanks to Trump’s war with Iran, U.S. flagged & U.S. crewed commercial vessels are currently trapped in the Persian Gulf. I’ve written to Admiral Cooper, demanding action be taken to protect & support these crews as they sail under sustained operational & psychological stress.
Sickeningly, shamefully stupid—lifting sanctions on oil sales by Russia & Iran, fueling their war machines with windfall cash. A minimal benefit to oil prices, but huge boost to sworn enemies.
Once again, Trump is showing that he cares more about Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman & his Silicon Valley cronies than American families. This weak proposal is dead-on-arrival in the Senate—I & my Democratic colleagues will block it.
States have passed groundbreaking laws, on a bipartisan basis, to stop child exploitation, require transparency & protect civil rights & civil liberties. This proposal blocks those state laws & offers very few actual enforceable federal rules on AI companies.
he White House’s AI legislative framework is pathetic & a non-starter—a wish list for Meta & OpenAI with little to protect families worried about how AI will impact their livelihoods & safety. apnews.com/article/whit...
As March Madness kicks off, wishing the best of luck to the UConn men’s & women’s basketball teams & the Fairfield women’s basketball team! Excited to cheer on the athletes as they demonstrate why our state is the basketball capital of the world.
It’s added to his $1.5 trillion DOD FY27 request already made & would be spun as Congressional approval of the war itself.
This $200 billion Supplemental seems like a total nonstarter. It supports a deeply unpopular war that Trump has never asked Congress to approve, as Constitutionally required—without clear statement of objectives or strategy, disclosure of accurate cost info, or public hearings.
I’ll hold Senator Mullin to his word that ICE agents will no longer be instructed to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judicial warrant.
The ticketing market is broken. Congress should set national rules protecting consumers in the primary & secondary markets, such as my BOSS & SWIFT Act. As important, it’s time to break up Ticketmaster. 5
My report’s findings raise fresh concerns that the Trump admin’s settlement with Live Nation will allow anti-consumer price gouging tactics to continue while doing little to protect musicians, their fans, & independent venues. 4/
At each stage of this process, from primary tickets marked up by dynamic pricing algorithms, to secondary sales from consumers & ticket brokers, Ticketmaster has profited handsomely while Americans paid the price. 3/
Despite the company’s recurrent insistence that decisions about ticket prices & fees are largely out of its hands, Live Nation has exerted its enormous influence over venues & artists to increase fees & ticket prices. 2/
Today I’m releasing a PSI report, which presents new information on the ways Ticketmaster abused its monopoly power to reap huge profits & push concert ticket prices farther out of reach for fans. 1/ www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
I’ll continue to champion renewable energy efforts like Revolution Wind—lowering electricity costs, growing jobs & our economy, & protecting our environment.
As we confront a growing energy crisis that reveals how vulnerable we are to relying on fossil fuels, this stable source of reliable & renewable energy will power the region for decades to come.
Revolution Wind’s historic start marks a new era in CT energy. I am thrilled that it has begun delivering power to our state & others, despite despicable Trump Administration attempts to stop it.
If you are hurt by Trump’s health care cuts, his team’s got an alternative for you—prediction markets.
Got cancer? Bet on your life on Polymarket or Kalshi.
Absolutely grotesque.
U.S. responsibility for this tragedy is sickening & should prompt immediate release of the report, even if it’s preliminary. The American people need & deserve to know what happened & who’s accountable—including a public hearing.
