Anyone considering buying this “radioactive” Russian diesel should recognize the risks—serious reputation damage&severe legal liability. Congress is watching & a future Administration may not look away from such criminal profiteering, even if this one does www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/t...

Foundation of Hope in Stamford honored 14 community leaders—working hard to give back & provide role models. Thanks to this impressive organization.
Discovering Amistad is providing awesome education programs about this iconic schooner & its historic role. It will expand & enhance them with a major near $100,000 federal grant we announced today.
I join our nation in mourning the loss of Dolores Huerta—a historic champion for workers' & women's rights. Her steadfast belief in the power of organizing continues to inspire all who fight for justice.
Standing strong with UAW workers at Triumph fighting for fair compensation, job security, & benefits. Unions are the backbone of our economy—proud to stand with them for this important fight.
Prediction markets appeal, addict, & endanger young lives—just like sports betting. It’s gambling. Calling out from the casino in your pocket. Pitching kids, problem bettors, all of us. It cries out for regulation, just like gambling. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/28/o...
I’m sending a sledgehammer message to shipping companies whose tankers are transporting illegal Russian diesel to our ports. Reverse course while there’s still time.
A win for student debt relief—keeping intact the student loan forgiveness program, despite Trump’s efforts to destroy it. People who serve as teachers, police, & more deserve this benefit. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-d...
Americans deserve a reckoning—exposing corruption through unstinting investigative sunlight. Secret contract deals, pay to play, pardon schemes, compromising contributions & much more. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Record turnout—670 attendees—at the Women's Business Development Council Women Rising Luncheon. Incredible honorees, fabulous organization.
Proud to join ARI at its annual dinner to honor Mike Zohdy, owner of the 19th Hole in Stamford, for his wonderful generosity. Thank you ARI for tireless caring & dedication over decades of service.
Proud to attend the Salvation Army’s annual gala in Danbury. Thank you for so many years of kindness, generosity & love—touching countless lives.
Standing with workers at the Regional Water Authority in New Haven to demand a fair contract negotiated with their union, the Steelworkers. They deserve good pay, health care, & more.
Celebrating the Louis & Gladys Bond Preserve in Montville, an exquisitely beautiful open-space treasure now safe from destructive development.
Great visit with industry leaders at at the SCSU Innovation HUB Emerging Technologies Forum. We must ensure technology advances create opportunities for innovation & workforce development.
Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy—which is why I'm proud to announce $885,000 for UConn’s Small Business Development Center in East Hartford. This funding will help provide small businesses with the training & resources needed to compete in the digital age.
Google is forcing their A.I. products into classrooms across America, & children are paying the price. I'm demanding answers from Google on their relentless push of A.I. products—threatening the academic success & overall wellbeing of our nation's students www.wsj.com/tech/ai/sena...
Voter intimidation in CT & around America has been blocked by this brave federal court ruling—but only temporarily. Trump’s vote suppression campaign is in full swing—with arrayed tactics—requiring a turnout too big to rig. apnews.com/article/trum...
Congratulations to Quinnipiac University School of Computing & Engineering on your 10th anniversary—a special milestone. Your students are our future.
