Juneteenth stands as a reminder that the pursuit of freedom is hard fought & the work to build a more perfect union isn’t finished. Today we recommit to the ongoing quest for racial justice & equity.

These urgent reforms to the Insurrection Act would impose oversight & accountability to the President’s broad, virtually unrestricted power to use military force against Americans at home. 3
President Trump may not have invoked the Insurrection Act yet, but he has threatened to use our military as an instrument to crush dissent & Congress must act quickly. 2/
THREAD: Americans believe deeply that our military should be used to defend our national security, not to silence peaceful protest at home. I support—& the Constitution protects—free expression & protest when peaceful & nonviolent. 1/
New laws are needed to establish crypto guardrails & safeguards, but the GENIUS Act is ineffectual or worse. 2
The GENIUS Act emboldens Trump crypto corruption & industry self-enrichment without protecting consumers. Our amendments seeking to bar presidential schemes & criminal money laundering were blocked. 1/
This Pride Month I made a wonderful stop at New Haven's Bark & Vine. This LGBTQ+ owned business is making an economic & cultural impact—showcasing the team's creative vision & entrepreneurial spirit.
Toxic exposures impact our veterans & their kids. By passing the Molly Loomis bill Congress can jumpstart groundbreaking research for them—providing military families with answers to the health challenges they may face as a result of battlefield toxins.
A win for workers at Ahlstrom's Windsor Locks facilities & a victory for working families. Joining the @steelworkers.bsky.social recognizes these employees' invaluable hard work & allows for better pay, safer working conditions, & improved benefits.
The rise in attacks on faith institutions & community centers is sickening. Proud to join local leaders to reaffirm & pledge my support for increasing the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to at least $500 million.
Wishing a very Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads & father figures in our lives! Thank you for your endless love & support.
Thousands at No Kings Rally in Hartford—saying Hands Off Medicaid, SNAP food assistance, voting rights, civil liberties & more. Vowing to fight back & preserve our democracy.
Proud & joyful commencement at Goodwin University—great careers ahead with this spectacular educational foundation.
Proud to be at No Kings Rally in Farmington, with hundreds fighting to preserve our democracy. Undeterred by drizzle & dark skies.
My heart breaks & stomach turns at Minnesota’s tragedy. Political violence is a vile, virulent threat to our democracy. My prayers go out to the loved ones of Rep. Hortman & her husband, Mark, & Sen. Hoffman & his wife, Yvette.
Homeland Security personnel are making us less secure.
I’m proud of @padilla.senate.gov for asking questions important to his constituents, & we should be asking questions about how this travesty happened.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. This manhandling removal & handcuffing of a US Senator at a public event is absolutely revolting & repugnant to American values. It’s a basic violation of civil rights.

#DACA recipients are our friends & neighbors. Their dream is American citizenship in the best sense—giving back to the country that is their home. We must provide permanent legislative protections for Dreamers. #HomeIsHere
I first introduced Insurrection Act reforms before the election, fearing that future misuse of the military might only inflame conflict & threaten key rights. Now that nightmare seems imminently, fearfully real. Congress must act.
