After $330 million privately raised, Trump’s ballroom boondoggle certainly seems like a crooked pay-to-play scheme replete with conflicts of interest & corruption. Americans deserve, & I’m demanding, answers from every donor. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Witkoff’s pathetic fawning over this KGB thug betrays American values & security. He should cite Putin’s humanitarian greatness to the prisoners he’s tortured & killed, the children he’s kidnapped, the Ukrainians whose country he’s bombing w/ bloodlust 1/ thehill.com/homenews/adm...
The nature of warfare is changing—largely due to Ukraine's incredible drone innovation. I saw firsthand Sikorsky’s cutting edge unmanned aerial technology in flying a helicopter equipped with it. An inspiring visit!
Without vital air defense interceptors, innocent Ukrainian civilians will suffer spiraling death & destruction from Putin’s bombing. Hegseth & Trump bear blame for their blood. Their complicity & cruelty stain America’s moral standing & national security. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Proud to attend American Dream Awards in Danbury celebrating immigrants & their contributions to the greatest country in the world—America is a nation of immigrants. Thank you to the Bacelar-Palmares family!
THREAD: Joined Senator Tillis today to host an update from President Zelenskyy with bipartisan colleagues—hearing from him highly alarmingly that intelligence sharing & Starshield access are still partially degraded. 1/
Groundbreaking for the monument tribute to the USS Groton, honoring all who designed, built, maintained, & sailed this historic sub.
Republicans must join us in fighting Trump’s abject betrayal of trust & our national security, or they will be complicit in Putin’s slaughter. Inaction is unacceptable. It is a moral moment. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/15/b...
Capacity crowd at Norwalk NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner— bringing together community leaders, public officials, civil rights advocates, & more showing commitment to equity & empowerment.
Ridgebury Farm enriches & expands so many lives with its magnificent programs & people. Proud to attend its annual event.
Interview at Cable 5 TV in Litchfield was enlightening & entertaining—a great resource.
Immigrant Heritage Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony honored extraordinary individuals who came & contributed to our great country. Greatest nation in history—a nation of immigrants.
Visiting the Kids Play Children’s Museum in Torrington— a wonderful hands-on learning experience with fun & creativity for all ages.
Donald Trump confirms again that he stands on the side of a bloodthirsty thug & the enablers of Russia’s war machine & against the majority of Americans, their representatives in both houses of Congress, & our European allies. 1/

Great visit with the CT State Building Trades Council at their annual convention—representing the lifeblood of our economy. Grateful for the critical work you do, creating training & readiness programs crucial to workforce development & advocating for workers across the state.
Greater Danbury NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner drew a sellout crowd & with magnificent honorees. A wonderful celebration of community.
Concealed contributions, signaling corrupt pay to play— more & larger government contracts, gutted regulations, deep-sixed investigations. I will be expanding my inquiry through the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

Russians call it “human safari.” Their slang for bomb-hunting civilians highlights their abject inhumanity. Another church hit last night— this time in Kramatorsk— killing parishioners.
A perfect storm—home heating oil nearly doubling in price, crushing families hit with higher costs for groceries, gas & everyday necessities. We must demand increased LIHEAP aid, despite Trump attempts to end it. A moral imperative.
I’m leading my colleagues in demanding the President rescind the disastrous Russian diesel deal. Appeasement spurs Putin to ignore serious peace talks, & the diesel debacle shows abject weakness. 1/
