Despite repeated demands for information, Trump has stonewalled & misrepresented Iran war costs, completely eviscerating his pleas for more money. He’s meeting massive skepticism & opposition on both sides of the aisle.

I’m demanding facts from the CDC about. The source & spread of cyclospora. Staff cuts & ending reporting requirements no doubt contributed to its slow, confused response.
East Hampton Old Home Day parade was—true to tradition—a tremendous tribute to great community spirit & support. Spectacular bands, floats, fire trucks, bells—loud & beautiful. Thanks everyone!
Bristol’s team has worked well to restore power but widespread residential damage still needs to be repaired. I’m urging homeowners to document it, so we can press for insurance coverage they deserve.
Our veterans deserve the best we have to offer—they took care of our nation, & now our nation must take care of them. The UConn Health Neuromodulation Center of Excellence is an investment in our veterans & the cutting-edge treatments & care needed to help them heal.
He has such amazing support from the West Hartford community. I will keep fighting for justice for Seyo.
Met Seyo & his two sons at his restaurant with Rep. Larson. A great family & successful business owner. While Seyo is grateful for our help in getting him home, ICE should never have disrupted this family’s lives just to meet some arbitrary quota. It is cruel & heartless.
Trump’s rolling back gun violence protections will cause needless bloodshed & cost lives. I’ll fight his retreat on regulations. Republicans failing to join us are complicit.
Venezuela flag raising ceremony in Bridgeport honoring the bravery & strength of its people, who have suffered such tragedy. We stand with the Venezuelan-American community in support.
Columbia's July 4th parade—a great community celebrates a great country on its 250th. A deeply patriotic tribute.
Happy Fourth of July! On America’s 250th Birthday we reflect on the promise of our great nation, our hard-won independence & our common commitment to upholding democratic values.
This obscene, sickening self-enrichment should enrage Americans—many struggling to make ends meet as the Trump family makes billions. It’s likely illegal, violating the Constitution’s Emoluments clause & other prohibitions. Republicans are accountable for enabling it.
A 5-alarm fire—under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, over 100,000 CT residents could soon lose their health insurance. The Protecting Health Care & Lowering Costs Act cuts through bureaucratic red tape & guarantees access to quality care through Medicaid.
New details raise serious questions about Trump’s $500M no-bid ballroom contract. From sweetheart contracts to special interest donors, Trump’s ballroom boondoggle is fraught with corruption. I’ll keep demanding answers through PSI.
Americans are already feeling crushed by rising utility costs—we need to protect them from unfair rate increases. The No Bonuses for Utility Executives Act ensures that the c-suite is not lining their pockets while burdening consumers with increased costs.
Although I’m heartened by the SCOTUS majority decision in this case, birthright citizenship should never have been up for debate. I know this is not the end of the Trump Administration's attacks on immigrant communities & I will never stop fighting for our Constitutional rights.
Today's decision is an incredible relief to the thousands of United States citizens born on American soil, whose citizenship is incontrovertible. In America we follow the language of the Constitution, not the edicts of pretend Kings. apnews.com/article/supr...
Great conversation with @frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social, discussing the Major Richard Star Act & the fight to ensure combat-injured veterans receive the benefits they have rightfully earned.

This case was a Republican-led attack on mail-in voting blessed by President Trump—looking to suppress your voice in our democracy. While today’s verdict is a victory, we must stay vigilant against these continued, unwavering assaults on voting rights.
By eroding the FTC’s independence, the Supreme Court is fulfilling Trump’s vision for a weakened consumer watchdog & leaving Americans vulnerable to monopolistic business practices & higher costs. 4
