Listening to constituents, as I’ve done, the House should say NO to Trump’s Big Blatant Betrayal. It hurts millions—slashing health care, food assistance, & much more, all to give tax breaks to billionaires. Senate Republicans made the House’s bad bill even worse. Reject it.

Here’s the current state of play in Washington as we fight the Big, Ugly Betrayal bill.
Adding insult to injury the Trump’s “Big, Ugly Betrayal” bill calls for dramatic funding cuts for FBI, DEA, & ATF. It defies credulity to believe that, amidst this underfunding & staff turmoil, our law enforcement agencies’ ability to protect our country has not been impacted. 3
Diverting resources away from counter-terrorism is incredibly dangerous—especially while he’s simultaneously dropping bombs on Iran. 2/
Trump & his admin have removed national security leadership across DOJ & FBI. By depriving agencies of critical expertise, Trump risks leaving us unprepared to tackle the rising threats of terrorism. 1/
This new report from GAO shows how the Dobbs decision has been a death sentence for so many women—& condemnation to financial ruin for even more. There’s a proven, tragic link between draconian abortion restrictions, maternal mortality rates, & devastating financial distress.
By restoring abortion access & implementing basic protections against medically unnecessary restrictions on health care, the Women’s Health Protection Act overturns the death sentence handed down by Dobbs. 3
Three years after Dobbs, American women don’t have that right.
Today, thanks to Republican lawmakers & conservative courts, a woman in America might walk into an ER & faint, bleeding, & be refused treatment. That woman might die. 2/
Reproductive freedom is about more than health care; it is about women’s rights, individual rights, & human rights. The foundation of the Women’s Health Protection Act is simply the right to make your own health care decisions. 1/
Proud to rally with parents & young people fighting for the Kids Online Safety Act. I urge each of my colleagues to come & visit these photos, because each day Congress fails to pass KOSA, it knowingly adds to this memorial of children who've died because of social media’s harms.
My statement on U.S. strikes in Iran:
I’m working to pass Ethan’s Law at the national level—just as CT did—requiring safe storage. Not only kids, but veterans, seniors—everyone—can be protected by securing firearms safely, as responsible owners routinely do.
Today is ASK Day—reminding all to ask, “is there an unlocked gun where my child may be?” Guns are the leading cause of death for children in America—haunting loved ones like Mike & Kristin Song, who lost their beautiful, beloved son Ethan because of a neighbor’s unsecured gun.
On #WorldRefugeeDay, we recognize the people who have been forced to flee their homes to escape conflict, persecution, or danger. Inspired by their strength & resilience, we must recommit to providing refugees with the support they need—both here in the U.S. & abroad.
LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, but they are under full-scale attack. Now more than ever, we need the Equality Act to make sure that our LGBTQ+ community is treated with respect, dignity, & fairness no matter who they love, who they are, or where they live.
Juneteenth flag raising in New Britain, where this historic event was celebrated before it became an official federal & state holiday. Thanks to all who’ve sustained this inspiring tradition.
If Putin stops his brazen bloody assault, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. The U.S. Senate should vote on my & Sen. Graham’s Russia Sanctions Bill ASAP, imposing crushing burdens on Russia’s economy & deterring China from fueling Russia’s war machine.
Putin’s latest—more lying & playing America. Saying Zelenskyy can’t sign a peace deal dooms peace talks & mocks Trump. Meantime he murders Ukrainians with missiles & drones, as I’ve seen on my 7 trips there, & kidnaps their children.
Joyous, eloquent speeches & song at Torrington’s Juneteenth celebration—with flag-raising & richly deserved honors to Rev Angaza & Mrs. Effie Mwando. A call to action.
Juneteenth Parade in Middletown was filled with amazing music, crowds, marchers—a wonderful celebration of a historic day. Community leaders came together.
